Today was one of those days…

It seemed like a monday like no other.  I got to work early, found a spot in front of the building, which meant a short walk to my office.  Everything looked normal, you know like another monday, intense, surprising (i found out i liked mondays because there was always a surprise for us in store).

The day gradually started getting typical, lots of emergencies, everyone wanting their stuff for yesterday, everything a priority, its kind of like a FedEx building but worst a lot worst, but this is our day-to-day, it wouldn’t be work if it were any different.

Then there is Goober, but that is topic for another post…

From the three of us that compromise the team, my boss put one of us in charge, you know, at the helm of the team, (it wasn’t me thank God) and which is fine, because I have a pile of work big enough, for not wanting anything else.  Then Altiris, our deployment server which in my opinion it”s a piece of “bantha poo doo”, but it’s what we have and God forbid we don’t use it, crashed and wasn’t fixed till 4pm.  That means we didn’t really were able to do any Images.  It’s funny because when someone has a problem where their computer is down and they can’t do any work, it’s a PRIORITY to do anything we can to help them, yet when Altiris went down, no one cared about it, it didn’t matter we weren’t productive, it was just not a priority.

Then I got hit in the face by a comet, (you all probably think I am on meds), it hit me, after reading an email, I actually forgot to do something and in the end it bit me in the buttola.  I felt bad because I take a lot of pride working hard so everyone has their computers up and running, and forgetting to ship one out well it makes me feel like Santa Claus forgot a present for some kid in Cambodia.  But between last week, and how I projected this week to go, it’s going to be like Arkham Asylum raised to the 10th power.

But like I said before, it is what it is, and it can’t be any different because it was (repeat after me) a case of the mondays.

I know… That last sentence was not original at all… but neither is my ringtone.

You can never be a know-it-all with technology

I have always had a broad spectrum with all IT matters. When I don’t, I figure it out and learn it.

Today, the IT group I work at in RAC, got brand new iPhones. I had worked with the pee-gen 1 iPhones at the Agency. But it has been a while since I have had a prolonged “relationship” with one.

I used to fly typing on the soft keyboard. I have been picking up speed as I am using it to enter this blog but I need more practice.

The old iPhone I used to work with is just a mere shadow of how much more powerful the 3g or 3gs.

I think this phone/portable computer and I are going to get along terribly well, and it’s going to feed my desire to get an iPad even more.

Don’t even get me started with gaming…

It had to happen and not even on a monday, otherwise it would have been perfect…

I screwed up my own 6yr old blog. The DB is still there but for some reason it’s not linking.

Oh well time to move on to better and larger things. Like writing new musings. This is very good, because I have been pondering the idea how to start over without starting over, and this is it. No running around behind your tail, like a dog on crack.

I am kind of glad because when 2010 I turned a new page so in a way it feels good to start a new blog on a new page on my life.

Good Riddance!
