It’s Monday, and I’m nearly done with today’s graveyard shift! What a lucky bastard I am!

I’m back into full graveyard rotation… one day per week for 5 weeks, then one week off (so to speak, I still have to work my normal 8 – 5 shift when I’m not doing the graveyard shuffle). I’d like to bitch… but then again, I’m employed and they pay me well (which makes me one hell of a lot better off than a lot of other people in this town).

In totally unrelated news: I went to the company picnic on Saturday at Avista Stadium. We watched the home team get their asses handed to them and my son got hit with a foul ball (well… he was trying to catch it… darn that whole coordination thing). He ended up with a nasty bruise and someone else’s rug rat grabbed the ball from my sons feet and ran off with it.

There is a bounty on that little booger nose’s head.

I also had some drunk guy fall on me while attempting the ever so difficult task of “chair dismount” at the ballgame. Great times!

Donations for the new server are starting to come in. Now, if I could just convince my bank to update my transactions online, I could verify my paypal account and perhaps pull thus said donations down and put them in the “buy a server” account.

Other news: I’m finally back on my motorcycle!

My wife and I went for a 30ish mile jaunt around the city yesterday with no ill effects. <Insert my happy dance here!> I’m hoping to start riding to work tomorrow.

UPDATE at 11:00 am:

Iv’e been awake for 26 hours now and there’s no hope of going home any time soon. A customer in Virginia called this morning with a bizzare issue… we’re not even sure at this time if it’s our problem or IBM’s.

Regardless… I’m going to be here for the rest of my life, which by my calculations, should end around noon or so.
