Abysmal descent
I started the day off feeling pretty good, despite going to bed too late last night I woke up feeling refreshed and rested. I managed to get showered and prepare my meals for the day, get everything ready and as I'm about to walk out the door on time I realize that my keys are missing. So I stalk around the house in a confused haze searching for them, to no avail, until I'm way past due to leave...ugh! Fortunately I have a spare car key, so I was able to somehow get to work only a few minutes late.
Right off the bat, I get an early morning call from the gal who's computer I fixed last Thursday. Seems she's getting the same error again. Now I was proud of having fixed her computer without having to rebuild it and the news did not make me happy. In point of fact it put me in a really fowl mood. I'm taking care of it though, I've since backed up the system and thrown the hammer down. I've formated and began rebuilding it, that'll teach it to fuck me over.
Fortunately Trin allowed me to bitch and moan at her until I got it out of my system and then Mary popped in, just a bit ago, for a brief, but nice chat and so my outlook is much improved. It's good to have friends.
I had expected this to be a slow week, but it isn't going to be one. I don't mind being busy, god knows my job is easy as it is, but I'm really not looking forward to this little project looming before us. We have to install the new Oracle 9i client on all of our Axium workstation, most of which are no longer the best performers. It's not a difficult task, but it is monotonous and I'm not looking forward to it. Ah well, I'll bring a book.
