April fool’s fizzled.

Its Wednesday morning. It feels like Tuesday didn?t exist, but I lived through it. Go figure. My big dilemma yesterday was that I had plans to go over to my sisters and help her out for a bit and see my niece on Wednesday (today). But people at work scheduled a night of binge drinking. As much as alcohol is nice, I was all set to play with my niece. Of course that only consists of holding her while she sleeps! Well my decision was made for me. I have been banned from going to my sisters until I get over this cold. When I spoke to my brother in law last night he was like if you are coughing you are not coming over. So I get to go drink now. Of course if I am getting over a cold I probably should not be drinking either. Oh well.

April 1st came and went and we only had 1 April fools joke. It was a non event. Oh well. Some good jokes are very fun. Most just are sad.

So we got approval to purchase some much needed equipment for our office, servers, switches, etc. Not going to bore non techies with the details. We also got the go ahead to look at equipment for our new office. I have mentioned before, but I will say again how much I hate sales people. They want you to spend a bunch of money and then they don?t call you back. I await quotes from people whose deadline to get them to me have came and went, and they act like all is right with the world. These people need to get a clue. Yes I am just a little bitter about these moron?s. hopefully today will go better with those guys.

On a good technical note, I got windows 2003 server on Friday off of msdn. I did my first install at work yesterday. I setup a test domain and trusted it to our existing one so I can work on it. So far I don?t see that much of a difference to get me to switch. It looks nice, and I am all for new OS?s, but upgrading server operating systems is not what I call a good time. I am going to continue to look at it and give some more feedback.

Well we are not in the train tunnel yet (yup on the train again) but I need to do an agenda for a meeting I have at 10am, or the boss won?t be happy!
