Another late night...

Ok this is starting to get crazy and this is only week one. Last night we upgraded the switches in two other closets and I am very tired this morning. I think it is time to look at the schedule and push some of these off so I don't go crazy. I think I am going to ask my manager for a cot so that I can take a nap on days like these. He probably would go for it since we really have been burning the midnight oil and they coming in early the next day to make sure everything is working.

Late night at work

Tonight was the first of many late nights at work. You can't just change out switches in the middle of the day. We are currently working on the hospital and will be installing over 120 48Port Cisco switches. The new ones are so much better then the old ones. I could bore you with the details however I am sure you have better things to do.

Here is the rack after it is done. You can see the old switches now have nothing connected.

We will remove the old ones tomorrow

I almost dropped my MacBook Pro taking this picture

Its so crazy just how many wires there still are in 2008. Do you guys ever have ethernet styling contests for the sweetest arrangement?

Cell Phones.....

Tonight was the first night I was pissed off at my Blackberry. I have the Verizon 8703e Blackberry and so far it has been great. The keys are easy to type on and it is a pretty good size. For some reason lately the sound does not seem to be as good and the first 2 seconds of every call is one way audio.

It makes me want to just go out and buy some cool device like (e:paul)..I really would l just like to get a small phone. I am tired of having my email on my hip 24/7. Just ranting a little here......

It's nicknamed the Crackberry for a reason. :)

Sounds like you are experiencing the first stages of cell phone addiction. It is a horrible condition, hahaha.

Winter

Ugh, I hate this weather. I think most of all I hate the fact that when I leave work and get home it is already dark out. I need some of that sunshine to get here soon. Don't get me wrong, I love a white Christmas and I actually find it fun driving in the snow. There just comes a point in the year where I say "Alright time for the sun to come out!"

I'm starting to think I need to take winter vacations into the sun.

White Christmases and doing donuts in the car are totally overrated.

I hate this weather the moment it begins. Not to mention, like you said, arriving at work when it's dark out and then leaving when it's dark out. Bleh.

Yeah, I hear you. My brother and I uttered a collective "fuck this" earlier in the week when walking to the cark.

I'm here!

Not that anyone really cares but I figured I would sign up. Lately I have found myself going to estrip to see what everyone is up to. I don't want to lurk without contributing. It's time I get on the wagon I guess.
