Even More Hectic Friday!

OMG, so today was CRAZY!

But lets talk about Thursday First.. Thursday was very calming, so that was good. I did have a lot to do at work, but I was able to get out of there about 1ish or so and get to the gym and then come home and relax. Blake also talked to me a lot about things that he had been a little quiet on up to now. It made me feel good that he was comfortable talking to me about those things.

Today was so fucking crazy. I get into work and have a HUGE list of things to get done. One of the PRD sites had to be upgraded from 6.0.49 to 6.1.33. That shouldn’t have taken too long, but we found out that none of the builds had been optimized for PRD environments. Optimizing takes a long time because it’s trail and error. Anyways, I was able to get it up to 6.1.20 before leaving today and we were able to get out deadline pushed back to Tuesday afternoon instead of Monday morning. So now I don’t have to do it over the weekend. That’s very good.

I also had todays build to do of 6.1.33. That was hellish. The build went FINE! It was done and ready by 9:30am… But they have us doing this new smoke test which is a PAIN IN THE ASS! I didn’t get this smoke test done till 2:30 because we kept having problems.

I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again.. WE ARE NOT QA.. WE ARE SAs! QA is not our job. I don’t know WHY WE have to do this Smoke test. It’s insane! Anyways. I finially got the go ahead to deploy to the QA sites without finishing the smoke test so I hadned that off to someone else and went home.

Inbetween all that I had PT sites to get working on the Staging Env, problems with people getting into icarbs, ICIE not working (though I only fixed a small part of that), and a few other things that were just a pain in the ass. I was so stressed out today though. Blah! But I did get a lot done today, so that’s good.

Andrew called last night and I had to walk him through cooking scrambled eggs over the phone. It was really funny. lol

Blake said that he won’t be able to get online this weekend… Honestly, it’s really starting to piss me off that we can’t hang out more.. I know it’s not his fault and I trust that he wants to hang out with me… But it just pisses me off that I can’t hang out with someone I like so much. Grrr. I wish there were some way we could see each other at least once every other week… or even be able to call him every day. :'(

Autoblog has been test driving the Mazda3 for the last week.. They seemed to REALLY like this car and it’s a perfect price point for me. After reading all the wonderful things they’ve said about it, it’s moving to the top of my list of cars. And trust me, they are really objective about the cars they get.. They HATED the Crossfire. 🙂

Oh well. Adios. Taco time!

Hectic Wed!

OMG, yesterday was so crazy around here!

Things were all broken again when I got here at 6am. The UPS is bad. So I had to take care of that, then the build wasn’t working. And plus I had 8 million other things to do.

By the time I left here last night I had 8,000,010 things! lol. Either way. I ended up working till 8:30 last night. I’m going to take off a few hours early today and a few tomorrow. Then I’ve got things to do this weekend as well for work. Blah!

Yesterday when I left my apartment at 5:30am it was like 58 or 60 degrees outside. When I got home at 3pm, it was 105! How crazy is that? Plus the winds were blowing insane!

Looks like today will be more of the same. 🙁

And that’s all I really have to say.

Adios!

How was your day?

You what really annoys me sometime…. It’s when people don’t ask you how your day is. You know, if you’re friends with someone, I just feel that upon greeting them that day, or specific time you should say, “Hi, how are you doing” or something like that. Maybe it’s just the fact that I’ve been raised in a customer service home. You know, being raised at the store, you welcomed everyone with ‘Good Morning so-and-so, how are you doing today” It was just the nice thing to do. But what’s happened? How come people don’t ask you how you are doing? Blah. I just think that if you’re going to be friends with someone, you should ask them how they are doing.

On the other hand though, it does ANNOY the hell out of me when some people ask me how I’m doing. IE, There’s this guy who works in the Santa Monica office who IMs me like once a week with some stupid problem. I always know that when he IMs me he’s got a problem. I’ve NEVER met the guy in person, I’ve NEVER talked to him on the phone. I only talk to him through AIM, But he ALWAYS blabs for a while, you know “HOw you doing” blah blah. In these cases, I know the guy doesn’t give a shit about how I’m doing, so why bother asking? You’ve got a problem, IM me and say, “I have a problem” don’t waste my time with “How are you”, etc!

But I do think that people who should care, should ALWAYS ask how one is doing.. It took a while to get Andrew to do it all the time, but now he’s good at it. Just have to push the rest of my friends to do it. lol

You might notice that this post is a little late in the day for me… I usually post shortly after I get to work…. Well let me start with last night…

I ended up working from home till 5:30 or so, then stopped because I was asked to push things back to 6:30. So I tried getting on at 6:30 to work, but the network here was down because they were doing work. So I didn’t do my work last night and just planned on doing it this morning. Since I had already put in 3 hours extra yesterday anyways.

Well I went to bed about 9pm.. And lately I haven’t been sleeping too well… More on that later… Anyways, I go to bed and then some jerk calls me at 10:30! So I get online to find out who it was, Find it it’s the guy that ALWAYS calls people when they aren’t on call… (I should really add his number to my phone so that I know who it is). So I get online and am kinda bitchy to him, because I’m NOT ON CALL this week! And then go to bed. Of course I couldn’t get back to sleep. 🙁

Well I wake up about 4:30 and still couldn’t get on the VPN, so I figure maybe it’s just that that’s not working, so I lounge around the house for a while and then get ready and come in about 5:45ish. To find out the WHOLE NETWORK is down! So I go upstairs to the network room and find that one of the UPSes had blown it’s fuse. I reset it and the 7th floor’s network starts working just fine, but for some reason the 15th floor still isn’t working. So I look into that, then I find out that the RT box and the local webserver aren’t up. So I have to start working on those!

Eventually our network guy got here and he took over looking into the network issue (I never would have figured it out!). And I dig into the rt/webserver problems. I eventually had to reboot both them off the CD’s and then fsck the hard drives! That sounds so dirty! Anyways, after that the webserver came up ok, but the RT box didn’t come up. By this time I had a few other things to do, so one of the other SAs took over the RT box and got it fixed pretty quickly. Ended up being some error with the LDAP connection. (Which i supected, just didn’t know how to fix).

So hat’s been my day so far. I’m going to take off here soon to make up for the time yesterday. Hitting the gym and then making tacos for supper. 🙂 Yummy!

Anyways, about the sleeping. I’ve been reading up on this whole Chemo/Radiation stuff that Blake’s been going through. It just depresses me so much and makes me so sad that someone as amazing as him has to go through this at such a young age! I mean, if it were me, I probably would hav egiven up by now and just said screw it…. Hell, I don’t have anywhere near as big of problems as he has and sometimes I still feel like giving up…. I dunno what keeps him going but i hope he keeps fighting it and I hope that he wins soon.

Adios.
