my ears hurt

I think I have a slight ear infection. Ow. Yesterday was another fine day in my contracting life. The meeting I run to hand off build documentation turned into a shemozzle after half the people who had asked me to be put onto the agenda didn't show. There was some Stern Talking going on afterwards. Then I jumped onto a conference call to smack a project manager around the head for being stupid. I will need to talk to his director to have him 'adjusted'. I have said it for a while now, but it's interesting that the people who are charged with making the application work are more worried about the hardware, whereas the people charged with making the hardware work are more worried about how the application works. That's fucked up. Then I started on the auditing project again, and we finished it! Not one piece of equipment was ordered without paperwork, which is amazing given the volume, size, complexity and variety of stuff we ordered. So I was done with that by 5, and then zoomed on out of work home to my lovely bride. Cooked burgers for dinner, then spent a couple of hours catching up on email and news and then watched Iron Chef before falling asleep. Horribly boring. Today was wake up late, and we'll be off to the movies shortly. It's too hot to do otherwise. Oh, and a quick stop at Barnes and Noble to look for "Designing Cisco Networks" for me. Zoom.
