"Some times I just shouldn't use words."
Small, pointless update today. Cuz I'm in the mood to update.
Had a typical holiday weekend. Typical if you're me, at least. Worked through the entire thing. But that was ok, I was making double time for working on Labor Day. It'll make up for the entire not working this coming weekend thing. Work was nice and quiet for me. No, that really isn't surprising. What is surprising is how much Civ 3 time I got in during it. Wait... That really isn't very surprising either. Oh well, I can pretend.
I am definitely excited about going to visit my sister on my vacation. Very excited. It'll be nice to get out of town for a change. Albeit, I need a cat-sitter while I'm gone (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dianak volunteered once, I'll hold her to it. ^_^ Hey, you can use my laundry!) and I'm sure the cats will be vaguely confused. They'll get over it, though.
Let's see. Work (the real job) has been interesting the last week or so. Very interesting. You know those big virus hits that took out every company and their second cousin? Well, it didn't take us out, but the scare of it actually caused us to upgrade our NT installations to the latest service pack (as opposed to sp4) and to upgrade our virus protection software at the store to something from after the turn of the century. The side effect was two million server reboot at 500 plus stores and some servers that just did not like all the attention.
This is partially what caused my spurt of productive behavior last week. The more stores I was calling to close old cases that were fixed by outside vendors, the fewer stores could call and complain to me that their computers had, once again, locked up. This is always a plus. Especially since I am definitely in need of a vacation and really don't want to be on phones right now.
Hmm. It appears that my headset has died. It is making a weird beeping sound when I turn it on. It's not getting signal from the phone either. Ah well. Ok, apparently not. All I needed to do was take the battery off and put it back on. Now it's nice and happy again. Ok, whatever.
Well, I had more that I wanted to write about. At least, I think I did. I guess I could be wrong on that. :-p Enough for now. Time to be productive.
--edit-- Ok so that wasn't small...
