well, today was a busy day. woke at 6, was out of the house by 6:30 due to having to make copies of the build documents I handed off today. Got into work at 7:25 (good drive in!) and proceeded to kill some trees. Missed the daily conference call, but that's ok. Went and handed off documentation, made it through alive, then went to meeting about Project With Idiot in Charge. Got to meet the storage admin I've been working with a lot lately, and picked his brains and he picked mine and many clues were exchanged between he, the EMC SE who I want desperately to be just like, and myself. Got >< close to smacking the project manager with a big stick for being stupid, though I have a Evil Plan to make it all right. Missed conference call on my albatross project (eg, ancient mariner), missed big project con call, missed lunch with the other contractors due to EMC guy taking me out to lunch. Cool! Back for another meeting on storage, had brain wave that not only delivers the development environment for the follow-on project to the big project 3 months early, but also frees up space in the load testing environment (we have a full symmetrix, well, ok, it's one of many full symmetrixen we have), AND frees up floor space and power in the DC at the building I'm in. I'm so smart sometimes. Then I picked up chinese for our survivor night, and we ate crab rangoon and laughed at the poor sods on the show. Now I need to sleep. Moni's news makes me happy, and it's friday and payday tomorrow, and my lovely bride was accepted into her university of choice for her bachelors! All in all, a good week!
