This day starts three of the busiest weeks we've seen in a long time at work. No, not customers..Its a computer conversion. We're working long days, weekends etc to get this done. We have to do preparation this week and next and then we go "live" on the 16th. OMG. I was reading all of the details over the weekend and the days are going to be long and they are planned thoroughly. There's a few days that lunch and dinner aren't even mentioned. Wonder how they'll feel when I have to go home and let Maxi out? He's a wonderful dog, absolutely has no accidents but......15 hrs is asking too much of the poor guy. I've never left him alone that long. MMM Wonder how they'd feel if I brought him back with me? Not such a good idea, ya think..
Anyway, I'm also going to stop forwarding my empty nest email to me at work. There's going to be so many people in and out of both the office and my computer I just think its not such a good idea. So, if you email me and I don't answer, don't be offended, I'll read it as soon as I get home.
Amazing Race. You know, I was rather concerned last night because the teams that I have problems with well. weren't going anywhere. I didn't actually love the dad, and daughter that went home but they weren't the one's I disliked the most either. I do love Mary. She is certainly proving a lot of things about Southerners and I love her for it. Especially in the "friendship" department. And her hubby.. His remarks about Vietnam during the war. I wondered, when they were headed there if anyone would bring up the war. His father is the one who made him think of it. Remembering my friends come up with me. And...just to mention the "brothers" who showed the respect at the "Hanoi Hilton" when they went to get their clue. That phrase "Hanoi Hilton" will always be the definition of hell on earth to me. I'm sure I'll have more definite opinions when the "crowds" thin out...
This weekend me and TIVO thingy became friends. I watched episode two of Studio 60 and Standoff. I love Studio 60, and Standoff it pretty good too. If you haven't watched Studio 60, give it a chance ok?
Ok, off to work. Take care and have a great day.
Sounds like the TIVO will be getting quite the workout for a while!
And, that mostly you'll be working and sleeping.
But, I remember those rollouts well. Before I retired, I was a network administrator / database programmer. I already worked a 10-hour day as my regular hours. Whenever we had to update (either equipment or software) it was 14-15 hour days. Fortunately, I had 3-day weekends. Most of which I don't remember because I slept through them!
And then, after the rollouts, there were the training sessions of staff. I never knew there were so many people in the world with PhD's who had no common sense!
Remember to take time to pee. And maybe spend 15 minutes a day just breathing.
And yeah, take Max with you. Maybe every other day.
Take care of yourself!
