A week… yowza!
So what a week, sick one day, feeling slowly but surely better again after my brush with heat stroke from Friday, after 28+ power blinks aka power goes on, power goes off, power goes on, etc. you get the idea - the week was going great, got in on Friday and the day started with something coming up right away - Cougar had some locked files and RT errors, so we needed a reboot, not a HUGE deal, happens now and again with strange files held open for no reason. So rebooted, and no issues for most of the morning.
The day went on as any other day, worked on code, looked at stuff, talked to Tiger Direct who wants business, and may get some - but just looked things over then blink 1, around 11:30am the power went out, nothing long-term, but a good minute or so and just as I was getting ready to head towards the server for a clean shutdown (it’s on battery backup) the power came back up - well I think it was a grid issue, with the heat already growing past 100F in some areas, it was getting hot, and my thought is restaurants were cooling things off for hungry folks coming in for lunch, so the power continued to blink from about 11:30am->1:30pm - and it got hot, and I didn’t get to have lunch till about 2:30pm - so a hard long day, but after fixing some issues with the server (for some reason it was setup by the last guy on DHCP! had to re-code IP’s in places) - I finally had the sales gals snag me some grub, and I got to sit, relax, eat - but I think the heat damage was already done.
The day ended nice though, got to share a lovely dinner @ the poon’s and hang out for a while, then it was to home to pass out, I was woken up early 6:59am on a Saturday… to find myself dead tired, but being txt’d which could be any number of things - however it was Rosie sending me a reminder of her Wedding today, but I felt like crap, so I passed back out again, and woke up around 11ish feeling bad, and the reason I think was my sinuses were completely dried out - thus I had a nose bleed or two, so I snagged some food, cleaned up, and took the day easy, including some sleep, some light chatting, and some more sleep, thus missing Rosie’s wedding.
What a day what a day. I have been drinking fluids like a madman, I just got out of a cold bath dropping my core temp down quite a bit, but I am about to go for my 3rd big glass of water, and find some food, the joys of life, makes me want to take another nap
for now I’ll just go find some grub and veg a bit. Night folks.
