Then it’s some other stupid problem. I woke up this morning to find 3 messages on my voicemail due to the Altigen server having rebooted last night due to the new Group Policy I applied (and ignorantly forgot to exclude the Server Group from), and it apparently caused the main PRI card to not reset correctly, meaning cj had no phones this morning. XO came out and checked the line and it magically reset, meaning we’re ok now, but what a pain.
I’m really getting frustrated with all of the little thing that happen that either I do, or do not, have control over. I would really really like to get things into a state of somewhat normalcy, but that seems to be a pipe dream.
Then there’s my body and the ravages of this cold (or bronchitis, or whatever) I have. I was planning on just staying home today because I felt so crappy, but thanks to Mr. GPO, no soup for me. Oh well, it was my fault in the first place I guess. I’m leaving early either way, because I need and deserve it.
First, I’ve come to the realization that I need to blog more, if for no other reason than to get my thoughts out of my head on to “paper”, so I’m setting a personal goal to blog at least once a day, be it on professional stuff or on personal stuff.
Last week, thanks to my playing games at http://club.live.com I got a Free Microsoft Zune and have fallen in love with it. The best part of it is having so much room for video, so I can download episodes of Top Gear and Fifth Gear and listen to them as I drive (and then watch them when I have time.) I know it’s been rather hated in the market, especially compared to the iPod (which is cool, I have to admit, especially the iTouch) but I’m a fan, and it’s not just because I drink the MS Kool-aid…
Life has been increasingly hectic of late with my IT assistant quitting unannounced and taking the MECA website back on (not to mention the simple load of stuff to do at work), but at the same time, I’ve been able to appreciate what I have. I’m so grateful for my family, as they really do lift me up. There’s nothing like seeing my kids at the end of a long day, and seeing how much they’ve grown. Sometimes, I wish they would stop growing so I can enjoy them for awhile, but at the same time, I want to see how much they can learn and do.
