crap

It's been a rough week so far. Way too much to do and not nearly enough time to do it in. Monday was just bad. Tuesday was bad and long. Wednesday I'm left to hold the 800lb Gorilla Project of Doom together for the next 3 days. My project with the little cloud of doom following is has a pretty awful volume manager problem (the oracle backup area is intertwined on LUNs inside the database volume. Which is fine, unless you want to BCV mirror the database only. So the solution is to down the database, then pick out the LUNs which have the backup area on it, trash them, then move the raw database data from one disk to another by LUN. EW EW EW. It's screwed up alright). Then, as if thats not enough, I have equipment all over the place that I've ordered and everyone but me is told that its arriving. The problem with that is that I need to know when its turning up so I can get the build documents done so that it can be wheeled in and turned on and configured. There seems to be a hole in the process there. Then, as if the "not enough" needed more, I just got handed making all the switch port and IP allocations until we can sort out how to automate it. I'm supposed to do that, run the 5 projects I'm working on, go to the meetings (today I have a grand total of 3.5 hours free to do work - the rest is in meetings), share a cube and still not work more than 8.5 hours a day? I think not. And the move idiots managed to screw up my phone - I have voicemail waiting for me, but my password no longer works. Bra-vo. Way to go. Way to help me do my job. I love my job, really I do. I also need to get home and paint the downstairs bedroom - there is apparently a memorial day bbq at our place on Monday, so cleaning and painting and sanding and general dogsbodying needs to be done.
