May 14, 2018: One Month In

Monday. Another busy day. This month has just been so crazy. Every work day is just as much as I can handle trying to keep up. All the work and stress, there is just so little to say about what I’ve been doing. I am at my desk all day, every day. Morning, noon, and night.

I managed to get some Taco Bell for lunch today while I was already out running errands.

Had to run to the bank again this afternoon. All of that kind of stuff is really eating up my time, too.

We had a Hyper-V server fail at a customer today because someone had set it up with a SAN and created risk that shouldn’t be there. So once again, at midnight, I am up supporting systems that are messed up because of something before my time.

May 13, 2018: Mother’s Day

Sunday. Truman is here with us in Dallas.

This morning, Liesl and I played Skyrim together all morning. When we were done, Luciana played Stardew Valley.

For mother’s day, we got Pakistani take away, Dominica’s favourite. Paneer tika masala. Paul cooked a pineapple upside down cake.

Did some work tonight. Did our first Windows Admin Center (WAC) deployment tonight.

Tonight we watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

May 12, 2018: Big Work Saturday

Saturday. Slept in this morning. Had to be up working on an outage in Atlanta mid day. That took a bit of my day. I kept on the desk working all day. It was a busy day, might as well just been a normal work day.

The girls started watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone on their own tonight. We’ve been watching the movies too slowly for them so they are watching them again.

I put the kids to bed tonight and read them their bedtime reading. We’ve been reading several different books, depending on what the girls are in the mood for.

May 11, 2018: Friday

Friday. Was doing a customer audit this morning and actually discovered a customer who has a Pentium II 450MHz processor still in production. They have Pentium III and Pentium 4 still in use, too. Crazy stuff. We found Windows 2000 still in use, too.

Did some furniture moves this afternoon.

Had to spent a lot of this afternoon on the phone dealing with Sage support.

The girls spent some time this afternoon playing Roblox. That is their new obsession.

May 10, 2018: Late Night Homework

Thursday. My busy week continues. Normal tickets and desk all morning. The lots of system updates in the early afternoon.

This evening we continued our Harry Potter marathon for Paul. We are on the fourth movie now, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Joy worked overnight for us tonight covering the night shift.

At one in the morning, Paula woke me up because she needed help with her English homework. So I was up for about half an hour helping with that. Since I was up and at my desk, I worked for a while on tickets. I stayed up till three and did a MangoLassi platform update as well.
