Long ass post
September 29, 2003
Yea it’s that time again ladies and gentlemen, where a do a huge ass post because I haven’t done anything in awhile. I figured why not, I’m sitting at work with nothing else to do.
Last week kind of sucked, I was on the verge of dying to this bastard head cold from hell. Man I was one miserable bitch last week, also it didn’t help that I was rushed to the hospital last Friday due to a bloody nose that would stop. Man I never thought I would see the day were I would go to the hospital for that. I ended up rupturing a blood vessel in my nose, which was the reason why it was leaking blood like an old leaky faucet. Because of this I spent most of my Friday afternoon sitting the emergency room while the doc shot liquid and cotton balls up my nose to stop the flow of blood. Once that was accomplished he brought out the burning stick of doom and stuck it up my nose to cauterize the troublesome blood vessel. Jesus I t had to be one of the most unpleasant things in my life. My nose was sore for hours after that; on the good side at least it stopped bleeding heh.
The weekend was much much better; I spent it with my hunny of course. The poor girl had 3 big tests during the week and I was afraid he brain was going to be mush. We basically hung out, did some shopping on Saturday. Hit the mall were she bought a ton of new cute clothes from Express and The Gap, plus she got me a new pair of Halloween boxers. They are pretty sweet; they have eyes all over them that glow in the dark. Sorry ladies now action shots, I promised Amanda I wouldn’t 
After the Mall we hit Borders were I picked up the newest issue of Linux Journal, The new Paul Oakenfold 2 disc set “Great Wall” and for the first time “Sys Admin” magazine. After that we Media Play across the street to pick up Armin Van Buuren’s new CD “76″.
Armin’s CD really kicks ass, I have already played it at least a few times over. It’s all mostly his own tracks that he has done over the years. If you like Armin I highly suggest picking it up, or even if you’re a fan of trance music in general. As for Oakenfold’s new mix, I am finally playing the first disc right now. So far its not too bad, I really need to listen to it proper at home and all the way through both discs for a proper review.
Time for some work updates..
I was messing around with Openview some more lately, been trying to figure out why the RPC daemon on 5 of the HPUX servers we run was dying. I thought I had it nailed it down to a NFS issue, but that was only on one of the five. Plus because of the error, it might not be affecting the RPC daemon at all. Scott is going to ask the one Unix engineer about it tomorrow and see what she says.
I didn’t get any cabling done for Pete today; I am going to really have to push on it towards the end of the week. I am about half way through converting the servers on the 10.x.x.x wire to the new cabling and patch panels. After that I need to move over all the 169.x.x.x, which isn’t as much as the other ones. I just need to wait on the info from Pete on those. After I get everything cut over I am basically done, but I am going to go the extra mile and clean out all the old cabling and straighten everything up so it’s nice and clean. I was talking to Rob about how we should lock everything down so the admin’s cant just plug shit in to the switch and do a half assed job running the cable. Just to keep everything clean and not screwed up.
Last week we had a meeting with the head of Production Services, he felt that our department and the internal help desk didnt have enough “synergy” and now that they are a man down we need to pitch in and help them more. What a crock of shit, its more like the one person that they have in their department is the biggest fucking moron known to man. She basically fucked allot of us over because she didn’t want to work late. Then she has the FUCKING BALLS to bitch to me that she doesn’t want to inconvience us when she goes on break and how she only takes small breaks here and there instead of a full lunch, etc. The sad thing is her boss wont do anything about it. Like she refused to work till 10pm, so her boss caved in and said ok no problem. WHAT THE FUCK, you don’t fucking give into your workers.
I’m not going to bitch too much about, it wouldn’t help anything except get me more pissed off about work then I already am. I am just going to keep biding my time and wait till I am done with school. Then I will try and find something else that’s much better.
