travis' brain dump

And when I say “they” I mean days. Here it is… December 11th, almost 12th and I still haven’t gotten pictures up. LOL I would say I’m slacking but it’s quite the opposite. I think it all started Sunday night.

I went under the house to get the box with all the Christmas lights, decorations and such out and while I was under there I discovered a leak in my main water pipe coming into the house. Apparently it hadn’t been doing it long as there wasn’t much water down there but all the same it was steadily getting worse. Luckily I’ve got a friend who is a darn good plumber and he was able to come over and fix it that night for about a fifth of the cost of what it would have run me had I just called a company to come over. Very thankful for that. Cleaning up from that and taking out my anger in a slaughter session in Assassins Creed pretty much wasted Sunday for me.  I think I personally killed every opposing force in all of Acre that night. LOL

Monday morning wasn’t much better… First thing out of the gate we were knee deep in trying to stop the spread of an email worm/virus that was quickly taking hold across our network. I do have to pat our team on the back for keeping containment under 5% of the domain. For more information on some of the ordeal and what was going on, check out the post over on techtalk.homerun-networks.com:

Tuesday was a pain in the rear end. Playing catch-up from not only being in Pinedale last week but losing Monday as well to the email worm was a pain. On top of that, missed working out Tuesday morning so I had to do it in the evening leaving the computer as the last thing I wanted to touch that night.

That leaves us left over with Wednesday and Thursday. Company Christmas lunch. The food choice gets a failing grade. I was in pain by the end of the day which was no fun. I came home with a headache and a stomach ache so I wasted a couple hours of my evening just laying in bed. Maybe today I can get those pics up…

Speaking of things to do today… I need to get those updates rolled out for the blog software too… It never ends. *shrug*

At least today has been pretty normal. Couple of meetings. Trip to the Denver Christkindl Market for some German and Austrian goodness and now I can see the day coming to a close. *happy sigh*

Ok, well things to do before I can head out.
