Not much sleep…

Not a great night last night, finally got to sleep, lot of tossing and turning, which led into some bad dreams, waking up a lot, and then just when I got back to sleep for the 400th time, my phone rings - never fails, work stuff on a weekend :( but such is life I suppose - but I got to spend some time with the crazy blonde girl I lovingly call Goofball, my niece and I cooked some brownies they are delightful, but evil… we added chocolate chips to them so they just emit evil and temptation… and I’m almost out of milk.

The servers are looking good, but I have a slew of updates I need to do, going to schedule a maintenance window for this upcoming Friday - some patches are out I want to deploy, but they do require some restarts, which will also allow me to do some other configuration upgrades as well, so I need to draft up a newsletter and blog note on the FH blog, but also let TN customers know as this is going to affect all servers - my hope is under 1 hours of outage across the board, and if I can wing it, I want to toss in the memory upgrade as well, so an additional 4gb? maybe just 2gb, we’ll see.

The weekend is slowly ending though, I can feel it.. I wish it had been longer, just feels like I got no real sleep under my belt, and with a busy week coming, I had hoped for more sleep - plus I had my mom point out a job in the paper, not sure I want to apply, but the pay is good, just as usual ASP coding requirements + VB - not that I don’t know a little bit of each, just not my favorite programming environment - but for $3k a month doesn’t seem too bad, and since its for the high school district, it’ll add more to my retirement plan I have thru them already.. not sure, 3 days to decide before the job application period closes.

Anywhoo - I am going to sync the iPod and go lay down, watch a few episodes of the Office Season 1 & 2 as they are now converted to iPod-format, My Name is Earl discs are the next thing on the shelf to convert, already did 1 disc when I got the iPod, but more to come! Keep me in your prayers folks, lots going on in the ol brain, lots coming up here this week, and all I feel like doing is going to sleep for a month! (ah one can dream) - night! (or afternoon for you realists!)
