Super Crazy Mondo Plus Fun Work Week


So I’ve decided that working a 72 hour work week…. sucks.  Even if you love your job… and especially when you only get paid for 20 hours…


I’ve been installing the new computer network at CedarCreek.  40 machines…  It consists of 28 new dell desktops, 2 new dell high end desktops, 3 new dell laptops, 2 re-configured gateways, 3 re-configured e-machines, 1 re-configured Compaq Presario, 1 new Dell server, 3 networked copier/printers, and a LOT of nerd knowhow…


I have a little nerd knowhow, but luckilly there is a guy helping me who works for IBM as a lead IT dude and knows anything I don’t.  The whole project is supposed to get all the staff a GOOD working computer (as opposed to the pentium pro 120mhz, 40 meg ram beasts we had…), as well as have them all be standardized.  Most machines are the same physically which is a HUGE help to those fixing them (me) and quite different than the way it was before when a whole 3 were alike.


The really sad part is that despite my 72 hour work week, I’m still not even half way done!  I’m close to half way… But I’m trying to finish them all so I can go on a vacation to Sarah’s hometown with her and hang with her parents, meet her family friends, and relax after some crazy hours here.  So with T minus 4 days left, I’m on my way back to work!  WISH ME LUCK!


On the plus side, bad eating habits are leading me to a loss of weight (hopefully! ).


Mood:  Almost clinically insane…. give me a few more days.

    Hey Brent…Congrats on the helicopter ride.  I’ve never been in a chopper.  I was gonna do the kings island thing, but realized I didn’t have the cash…The helicopter you were riding was a Robinson R44 piston helicopter.  I think the horsepower is around 160, but don’t hold me accountable for that.  It is a very cheap aircraft to operate and maintain, making it one of the most popular piston general aviation helicopters in use today.  One of the big selling points is its stability (due to the raised main rotor, to give it a more central center of gravity.)  Another big selling point is the large field of vision, as you saw on your trip.  Well, I gotta go study up for tomorrows flight….(instrument approaches into the local airports through the thunderstorms….yay)   ttyl
