I had a plan for today.  Really I did.  Wrote it out in my journal and everything.

Then I came to work.

OH. MY. GOD.

It started less than five minutes after I logged in and I swear I haven't stopped since.  I have been so busy I think something in my brain actually snapped about twenty minutes ago.

Nothing on my list was accomplished.   ( Read more... )

Well, it kind of rained for about twenty minutes but hey!  Rain!  Seeing as it has only rained at my house twice for less then ten minutes each time since May I'm calling this a win.  Today was only about two minutes of heavy downpour but another twenty or so of light rain.  Of course everything is all dried out again already but I'm still happy to ( Read more... )

...until I was assigned to this new project.  Now I know what busy is - and this is only the SECOND FREAKING DAY!

The new project is far more exciting to me than the old project but it is also just as (if not more) huge.  I mean HUGE!  Like touching nearly every program and system we have HUGE!  Want to know the best part?

I'm the systems architect.

Quick wrap-up from post-Super Bowl Indy.

1.  I did NOT come downtown Friday evening.  Google "human gridlock" + "Super Bowl Village" to see why.
2.  I did watch the pre-game coverage, both the official NBC stuff and the un-official local ABC news peeps.
3.  I got bored with the pre-game coverage and switched stations to watch Resident Evil: Afterlife ( Read more... )

This week has been nuts and it isn't even done yet ( Read more... )

I've been super busy with work and I don't see that ending any time soon.  The Project From Hell continues to be both a project and hell.  Lucky me ( Read more... )

I really am doing shit today as my workload here at, well, work, is of seriously awesome proportions.  It has gotten to the point where I am doing so much at once that pretty much everything is suffering.  I even forgot to move a couple of files to production last Friday, which resulted in me being called at 9:30 pm that night and at 8:30 this ( Read more... )

I know you are all anxiously awaiting the resumption of Vacation Recap Blogging!  It is coming....but not today.

Work is still super busy and ravenously devouring my brain.  I will be working again this weekend but hopefully from home rather than in the office (unlike last Saturday where I spent 8 hours in here).  I hope to get some recaps up ( Read more... )

Because I have too damn much to do, evidently.  Vacation recap blogging will continue, hopefully this weekend, once I get some work done.  I'm going to try to limit myself to no more than a half day today.  I have way too much to do and no end in sight.  The problem isn't only that I'm on 16 projects at one time but they are all pretty much in the ( Read more... )

I have to take a break for a few minutes.  My brain is effectively mush right now.  My big project is one of those that requires me to do things I've never done before.  I'm writing SQL that is way more complex (and efficient - I hope) than anything I've done previously.  And the code I'm writing is, like, wow!  I am really stretching the old brain ( Read more... )
