Yet More Train Delays

by

Just went through an interesting train issue this morning. I was on a train and they just tell us to get off due to equipment problems. The good news was we were already at a station. The bad news was we ended up waiting 30 minutes or so from the time we stopped till we got on another train.

The good news is I got a seat on the new train. That is always a plus. I am now officially late for work.

UPDATE: took me an extra 30 minutes more to get to Penn from when I originally wrote this entry. In total it was like an extra hour to my commute. I just love the LIRR sometimes…

Tuesday Late Night, Wednesday Work From Home

by

Tuesday was a late night for me. I stayed up late to finish adding Backup Exec agents to some servers that could not be brought down until after midnight. I then did some troubleshooting on some other backup issues. The goal was to get a good backup tuesday night. I was able to do so. I finally finished work at like 2/2:30AM.

By the time I got up and dressed Wednesday morning. it was already almost 11AM. It was then that I decided to work from home. Some people like to do that. I always think I like to do that, until I actually do it. News flash, I don’t like working from home. On one hand I do get allot done since less people bother me for stuff. On the other hand it is lonely sitting in an empty apartment working on the computer. If I lived closer to the office I would have been in.

I finished working on some more backup related issues Wednesday. Also worked through an issue with Kai & Jay related to some phone problems. Dan and I also tracked down an AT&T rep to discuss a bill we have issues with.

I also worked on cleaning up some ACL;s on our firewall’s. Most if not all of our restriction problems have now been resolved.
