working too many hours

So after I went back to sleep this morning I got a call a couple of hours later from my director.  Aparantly there were some problems with the sever and he needed my help.  I worked on this until about 6pm.  I worked from home all day today. Jen had taken my car to work [...]

production support

When I got home from work today I took a nap as I was very tired.  I went to bed at 10pm and woke up at 1:40am to do more work on the server migration.  There were issues and it took longer than expected.  I didn’t finish until about 5am.  I went to bed but [...]

memorial day

Because it is Memorial Day, Jennifer had off from work.  I didn’t.  She was still in bed when I left this morning at 8:30am.  It was very quiet at work today.  This evening I spent a lot of time working on a unix server patch failover.  I ended up working from 11pm until 3am.  Kumar [...]

more dogsitting

Sydney woke Jennifer and I up this morning – we aren’t used to that.  Jen started to freak out because she couldn’t find any coffee in the house and had to leave right away to go find some.  She came back a little while later with some coffee and some doughnuts for me.  How nice! [...]

dogsitting

It was a pretty busy day today.  It started out with Jen and I doing a step class at our gym.  Once we finished that we went home, showered, packed up, and headed over to the Barett Parkway area to do some shopping.  Jen returned some items to T.J. Maxx and I got a haircut [...]

openvpn

It was quiet at work this Friday and I worked on system test ‘string testing’ (connectivity) items.  I also met with Ningyu today and feel that this promotion thing is an uphill battle. When I got home I was pretty tired and took a quick nap.  Jan, Sandy, and Scott came over for dinner.  We [...]

70-200mm f/2.8L IS

We decided that we are going to cancel our LA Fitness gym membership.  I did a bit of research and read a lot of horror stories about people having a difficult time canceling.  So I printed-up a cancellation letter & cancellation form.  I mailed off the cancellation form as a certified letter with a return [...]

ball machine

Chris and I rented the ball machine this afternoon for an hour or two.  It was a great way to practice.  I got to try a lot of net and baseline shots. Later Jennifer and I grilled out some salmon fillets.  It was gorgeous outside so we ate outside on the deck and had a [...]

kettle-cooked jalapeno potato chips

After getting home early today before Jen, I noticed that it was really nice outside.  I had flashbacks to when I used to live alone in the apartment and decided that it would be fun to go out to the pool and lay in the sun.  I quickly changed and went down to the pool.  [...]

SXM from a different vantage

The sun seems to comes up very early in this morning time time of year in the caribbean.  Jen and I slept in late, taking our time.  Eventually we woke up and ambled over to the ‘Dragons Gate’ Chinese eatery/store for breakfast.  They have outdoor seating and it’s really nice and half as expensive as [...]
