saturday night tech support and no longer sleeping because 'I'm awake'
"I don't want no revolution, killing me and my baby dead."
Last weekend, we went to see Nervous But Excited at The Ark. I'm 31 years old and I've been connected to Ann Arbor since the age of 18. Oddly, this was my first opportunity to see a concert in the intimate concert-house. I greatly enjoyed it, and the acoustics are just as excellent as everyone professed. Candace's socks didn't match (intentionally). We got signed cds. I can't get the above lyrics out of my head.
I should really work on developing interrogatories for a discovery request. Instead I just spent a half hour trying to access the firm's database remotely. This wouldn't normally be a problem but I had to wipe my laptop and reinstall everything (ok, someone had to do this for me). The registry script is bogus so I can't get into the office docs. It says that I can call the tech rep's cell phone if I get stuck in the installation process during the weekend or on an evening, but I thought it rude to call at 12:42 at midnight just because I really want to get some work done. Lame.
(so, I sent her a facebook message asking her to help me whenever she's available...).
Whoa, she instantly emailed me and made me feel dumb. Although she was 90% right about me being a little dull about the inadequacies of untested browsers - yes, I love google chrome - the program still doesn't work. So, I win. My documents are still inaccessible and I've accomplished nothing. I told her that it was totally okay to get back to me in the morning... and I didn't expect her to respond. Jeesh
--------------------
2 hours later - 22 pages of annoying questions drafted. I still can't access my work docs, but at least I was able to work on the one document that I emailed to myself.
--------------------
I can honestly say that this is only the second or third Saturday evening I've worked in the last 6 months. Rarely are Candace and I both this dedicated to our jobs - any other Saturday night, we'd be watching a movie or doing other things by now.
Anyway, can't find the older song that's in my head, but this song quintessentially represents the soundtrack to my life right now:
