I get to go on my first buisness trip

by

Well, actually I am going on my first business trip for my current company. My last job all I did was go on business trips. I haven’t been on the road for work for over 2 years. This will be a quick trip to Chicago for 2 days next week. Gus & I are getting taken to one of our big vendors for a conference. Unfortunately I have a 7-am flight Monday morning. That is really early. Gus is on a later flight but they said I couldn’t switch.

I still haven’t unpacked from my trip to my cousins from last week. I need to do that before I pack for this trip.

Our CEO is away on vacation in europe for a few weeks. With him goes any chance of getting approval for some hardware I need for our new office build out.

Gus is back today. We need to do something with our voice T-1 contracts outstanding. Not sure what we will do just yet. I also got an email from our Project Manager for our VOIP project. I will call him today and setup a time to meet on friday. Things are shapping up, just not as fast as I like. I move fast on stuff, but I am always held back by something.

I finished moving the QA mail system to the new server. I still need to do the anti-virus stuff on it.

Left work on time. Wow!

So I actually got out of work sort of early yesterday. I hopped on the subway and went to my sisters. My parents came over and we had dinner. The baby is still fun, but she is cranky. Not sure why. I won’t go into theories here. When she isn’t cranky she is awsome. I installed a CD Burner for them so they can make CD’s of all the pictures of morgan. Also they can try and free up hard drive space. They are always getting out of disk errors.

We took Morgan to Barnes & Nobles. My mom got a ton of baby books since she had a discount this week. Mike was working so I didn’t get to see him. His rotation for his residency has crazy hours for the first year.

Keith fixed dan’s Wireless Router. He dropped it and did some damage to it, but according to dan it was dropped after it stopped working. I need to check today and see how it worked out. He called with problems last night, but he was going to call Keith to help him out.

I spoke with my friend jayson for the first time in months on Tuesday. We used to talk like once a day. We both got busy I guess. He had questions about frontpage. I got him setup on his server. I also setup an IIS site on his server for me. Running just apache is not working for me. I don’t have enough time to move my site off of frontpage. So I either can have it run all half asked or put it on an IIS box again. He gave me admin rights and I will probibly setup the site there or in one other spot. That way I don’t need it on a server at home.

Jayson is doing volentier police work in New Orleans. He said he wanted to do it, but I didn’t know he started. It sounds pretty cool. He is one person I don’t want with a badge pulling a gun on me. He will use it if he needs to!
