16 tons, What do you get?

Just got back from Maryland, so, I figured I'd update the blog since I didn't get a chance to do it yesterday.

Last night I went to bed at 9:30 at my parents - tossed and turned, as is usual this week, then woke up at 6:30 - the alarm was set for 7. Well, 9 hours is a lot better than the 6 I've been getting, even if it wasn't the most restful.

Had to pack up a couple of server racks today from the datacenter. It's so depressing to go there. Only two guys there during the day now - there used to be 9 or 10. At the end of this month, I take the last of my department's equipment out, then the rest of the equipment will be gone by the end of July.

That's it. All gone.

So, I repeat. How depressing.

Stopped by my brother's house to look at his PC. He said he was having some problem with GMail - I was able to log into it perfectly fine. I installed VNC on it so I can pop in and take a look the next time he's reporting a problem. Should be interesting the first time we use it to walk him through starting it up.

Major storms went through the area today. The last 4.5 hours have been spent driving through them. If I wasn't already tired, this would do it. Hopefully I'll sleep well tonight.

Emailed S. a little bit today. She doesn't really have anything planned tomorrow night - hopefully I should be able to take her out for dinner. On Wednesday she's having Lasik surgery (laser eye correction), so, she'll be out from work for the rest of the week. If I can finagle it, I'll try to arrange something for Friday as well. Going to use this as a ploy to give her my cell number in an innocent way.

"Since your Mom won't be around after dropping you back home after the surgery, here's my cell if you'll need anything."

I'll let you all know tomorrow how it goes.
