MRI

Right in the other side of this wall they are using the software that I support at work. I don’t think they are happy about it. I’ve heard one loud sigh of frustration, but they figured out the problem. It was a user error.

I think I’ll just quietly sit here with my mouth shut.

A Study in Nerdom

Today is going to be a text book study in nerdom.  Thursday is my (somewhat) regular telecommuting day now.  Also, my step son has a recorder concert at school at some ungodly hour like 9:30 or something.  My wife is taking a little time off to go see it.  I’m not so lucky in that regard.  After the concert, she is going to telecommute too.

Both of us will be working from home at the same time.  How nerdy cute is that?  She’ll be at her desk in the living room.  I’ll be on my laptop on the dining room table.  Two nerds in love, working away next to each other.  Isn’t that precious?

I hope she doesn’t get mad when I start yelling at my screen.

On Call Update #4

13 minutes left.

My phone did not ring since my last post.  I was able to sleep, all though not very well.  Being on call tends to make me nervous.  I usually fall asleep, but I end up waking up a number of times through the night.  At least I didn’t have to work through the night.  I am very thankful for that.

On a normal day I would have left for work half an hour ago.  Today I am supposed to be available until 8:30, so I have to go in to work late.  Makes sense.

I have the mini van today and the leaky tire is almost empty.  I have to go fill it before I do anything.  Maybe we should get one of those air compresser things that can fill a tire just in case there comes a day when we have a flat that we don’t expect.  Who knows.  They are probably way too expensive to be worth it though.

My laptop is in my room right now, connected to my work network, and still remoted to my desk.  The plan is to wait until exactly 8:30 and log off, then hit the gas station for some air, then get my fat ass to work late.

Eight minutes left.  I will be so grateful when this garbage is over.

Seven minutes left.
