Work is going better today
For once in a long long time, everything seems to be going smoothly today. The stupid DJA server migration has actually stabilized and they haven’t had any new problems with it in at least two days. I’m downgrading from endpoint 11 today back to SAV 10.2, we discovered [the hard way] that endpoint 11 is not ready to be put in a production environment, could have saved myself hours of work if I had just checked some forums to see what people thought of it before placing it on someone’s server.
I am going to dcpromo the poweredge today too, the proliant has been managing the domain all by herself for about a week and one day. We’re going to wipe 2003 sbs off the poweredge and put a raid card and three 500g sata drives in it. It’s going to be a raid 5 array, then we put server 2003 standard on there, and set it up as a backup server to the proliant.
Maya was still sleeping when I got up this morning…no shower again, but I have the vetivere oil my mother gave to me, I rubbed a bit in my hair. I suppose it looks a bit wild, but I smell nice :P I sent my dad a copy of the “Compare People” app data on my facebook page..he always tells me that I stink, and I wanted him to see that It was agreed I was #1 nicest smelling in our network. I was being bratly and sent him the rest of the stats…*not because I’m proud or anything, right :P* including that I was #1 most desired, #1 most likely to skip class, [hah I don't even go to school?], #1 most kissable, #2 most reliable, #2 best listener.
He replied back with oh how proud he was of me…and then he told me that their Dog died…which was blatantly not true. I think he was trying to tease me because I told him that I fed their dog some raw kefir and he liked it. And in another email few hours later he sent me a picture of the dog [ still living ] and said that he was resurrected just like jesus. Then he told me it was a joke. Well…I took it that the resurrected part was the joke, and figured old PJ really had kick the bucket. It took me a couple of days to catch on…I didn’t let him know that though, :P.
I had a good talk with my Mommy last night. I usually don’t tell her how I feel about things, but last night I told her some of my concerns with NSA, the company she has created her business out of. She was very adamant that I was wrong of course…but we talk about it which was good. And she had a few very good points. It isn’t a perfect world…and changes are slow. She takes the point of view that you just have to do what you can to move people in a positive direction, no matter how small the changes seem to be.
I think there is a lot of merit to her viewpoints, but I have trouble realizing them in my own life. When I see something that bothers me, I want to change it RIGHT MEOW! It also means I can get frustrated easily with things, because not everybody/everything is always ready to change RIGHT MEOW. Myself included. Sweet Mom, she’s wonderful…somewhat delusional I think, but wonderful. I should probably tell her that more often.
Facebook is definitely silly. And it can waste a lot of time, and maybe you find yourself crooning over your profile when you could be DOING something, but it sure does float some basic social instincts. It was always funny to see how quickly people caught on once they SAW it. You could tell them about it all the time…but once somebody saw it, it immediately tuned into something inside them, and they were off!
Lol, Facebook. Okay…dcpromoing almost done maybe…brb. Close…at the Windows directory, shouldn’t be long now.
