Goodies for things going badly?

July 20, 2001 - 5:40pm

It's Friday and what a day it's been already! A software change went out last night but it didn't go out right. So when I came in this morning, one of our servers was down...an "internal server error." Sounds bad (not as bad as "failure") but couldn't they be more creative in naming it? Like "software suicide" or "hardware hernia" or "server sickness" or "admin addle" ... I'm in an alliteration mood at the moment. Anyhow, things went poorly with change but they managed to bandage everything up even if the system is still in pieces. I know they're all thankful it's Friday and they've got all weekend to work on a fix. The interesting part is I'm currently eating a bagel that my manager brought as a reward for the change. Too bad it didn't work. But I'll sit here and enjoy my bagel because I worked hard this morning (starting at 5:30am) to find out the status of everything and to inform the right individuals.

Why does my job suddenly get interesting when I finally have an interview somewhere else?

Yes, today is the big day. Interview at 2pm. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I'm just going to do the best that I can. If it's right, it's right. You'll know as soon as I know.

Apparently Adrian is in town this weekend. Blake's friend that I met in New Orleans. I think there's talk of a shin-dig which probably involves dancing but I'm not sure I'm up for it. I'd like to see Adrian but it's going to be a long day. After the interview, I'm going to help Kristen pack the rest of her apartment so we can move it tomorrow morning (before it gets hot). Then tomorrow afternoon I will help my mother prepare a Powerpoint presentation for her travel club meeting. So being out late doesn't sound like a good plan. But from the mood I've been in recently, I'll probably go out anyhow.
