Today has been very disorienting for me I think. I’ve been mixed up as to what day it is all day. I woke up this morning thinking it was Tuesday. At some point today, I found myself thinking it was Thursday. Not so much fun. I didn’t get some of the things done that I need to get done this week… like compiling results from the email survey for a meeting we have on Friday. I did manage to get a really old task for a belligerant user taken care of though.
I did have a professor on campus who just plain pissed me off today. Thankfully he has decided that the best course of action is not to fight our network infrastructure policies. It remains to be seen what else he will fight. Give professors grant money and they think they’re God’s gift to the University. Sheesh.
I managed to get my dishes washed tonight. It took me longer than it should have, but they’re done and I have something to eat off of for several days.
I did some testing of my backup software. The trial copy of the new version I downloaded actually handles having a tape fill up. Regrettably, I have been unable to get the nice GUI for the software to work so I’ve emailed tech support on the problem. Another gripe … companies that require information assuming that you’re a business. The software manufacturer required a company name. Grrr.
Tomorrow is another day … I have three meetings scheduled at this point … 8:30 – 10, 10-11, 1-1:30. Doesn’t that sound like fun? More opportunities not to get things done. I wish Barb were going to be in tomorrow … apparently some bad things happened in the networking services staff meeting this morning … yelling and people walking out and such. Last year we pow-wows to figure out how we could work together better as a department. Right now, it appears that even some of our teams are having issues. Thankfully I’m not directly involved in that one, though it would be nice to be able to help rather than watch helplessly from the outside.
Well, off to bed again.
