Tuesday 6/17

9am - woke up late. fuuuuuck. I have to be at the office at 11 for the 11-1pm (lunch) meeting.

9:20 - Chez wants to have lunch this week. Told her I'm in the office today so maybe we can have coffee after I'm finished with my meetings. She's up for it. Kinda' strange, I'm not sure exactly why she wants to go out. I think she's being flirty, which is totally cool with me.

11:10 a little late to the meeting, nobody is here anyway. Mr. T and Slick are sitting there staring at the phone. Apparently Thug and Cartman didn't see the need to come in for this presentation and Margie got sidetracked with some fucko SAN problem. Grandpa Simpson isn't in the office, he's working with Margie on something.

11:20 Gpa Simpson comes back, let's get started.

0000

-- We finished the meeting after going over the same data 3 times for people with ADHD.� Two people didn't bring their homework.� Asshats. �

-- Long protracted discussion about some SAN remediation project that's rolling this weekend.� Nobody consulted Engineering.� Nice.� OPS guys (Margie, Mac, Stewie, etc) are upgrading firmware on one of our SAN Switches and will need to shut down all the 2.5 boxes.� Which means ENG has to shut them down because OPS isn't allowed to touch them.

-- Requested Friday off.� lol.� Fuck 'em, I'm not staying all weekend for that and Tom and I were talking about going to San Diego anyway.

-- Got a cup of coffee with Chez.� We went to the coffee shop I worked at last summer (so I could learn how to make good coffee), and I found out that the owner sold it.� I was just thinking about buying the place a few days ago.� Very strange.� They've added a few little things and changed the atmosphere a little.� I hope it does well.

-- Chez is adorable.� just _adorable_� We had a nice time chatting and then went back to the office.� She gave me her number.� woot.� :)

-- Stood around and fucked off the rest of the afternoon.� Which wasn't really that long when I think about it.� It was aftter 1:30 before we got back from lunch, nearly 2pm before Chez and I went for coffee, and probably 2:25 before we got back to the office.�

-- Long "hallway" conversations with Slick, Mr. T, Watts, and others about work happening this weekend, bills from COX for my home connection that weren't getting sent to NW for payment, and just about everything else you can imagine.

-- Told Slick that I was going to go out for coffee with Chez.� He caught the funny.� lol.

-- Chez asked me to go out after work, actually asked me to split at 4 and go to a sports bar close to her place.� We went and had a drink.� She had 3 beers, I had a long-island-iced-tea.� nummy stuff.� She's a real sweety.� We're going to hang out more frequently and perhaps go to basketball games & maybe catch a beer now & then.� yay.

-- Ended up working a little late last night because I fucked off all day.� Got home around 7:30.� Bed by 1am.� yay.

    CORALINE's Interests:

    About Me: Little Plastic Castle is an extension of This Child's Life which is not hosted at inboxjournal. This blog will make little sense to anyone other than myself. It's a stream of consciousness log of what I do on a daily basis in my job as a UNIX computer systems engineer. o/~ "They say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine...so the little plastic castle is a surprise every time, and its hard to say if they're happy, but they don't seem much to mind." o/~ I endeavor to respect confidentiality and thus I use nicknames for the people I work with. (Mr. T, Ratface, Jerry, Cartman, Grandpa Simpson, Slick, and so on.) I drop system names in here and abbreviations, but any note that requires something like a FQDN will always be marked private. You can comment if you like, but I'll only respond if I feel like it.

    Interests: Cast of Characters: Just a few of the names I use for people, this is the nickname and what their job responsibility is. Mr. T - My Direct Manager (Engineering) Slick - ESX Specialist Cartman - Network Engineering Lead Grandpa Simpson - Network Engineer Becky - WebSphere Engineer Ratface - Developer/Architect Jerry - Project Manager (BTI) Matt T. - Project Manager (Blackbird) The Martian - Application Developer AVP Ice Queen - Engineering AVP Chez - Assistant to Ice Queen Watts - Engineering/Development Sr. Mgr.
