So they say it's a new year, but it feels pretty much the same.
I should start bringing in every new year with a nice long vacation. Maybe that'll be my new year's resolution.

So, I've had my new digital camera for approximately 37 hours now. How many photos have I taken?
418.
This cannot bode well for my productivity.

I think everybody should go congratulate Roxy on her new aquisition of her first snake. Yes, do that.
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. As Alice pointed out, I really do work too much. Maybe it's about time for a vacation. Yes.
What a shitty shitty day...
got to work and a transformer blew up outside the building forcing me to spend the rest of the day under "emergency power", which meant only 1 working elevator out of 7 (the service elevator, too), no light in the office, and really fucking creepy hallways.
then one of our dedicated servers gets hacked. aparently not just by one person, but by THREE! At least there were attempts all day long from 3 different countries using very different techniques and tools. Ended up having 2 completely different rootkits installed, which partially conflicted (another reason why I think at least 2 different people got in on the same day).
I'm trying to copy the data off and the fucking hardware fails so I have to go downstairs to the datacenter to fix the old hardware so that I can get the new stuff up and running. All in all, it takes 3 or so hours.
Then amazingly, I get relieved early so I can go home at 11:30...only to realize I got in an hour early, so my getting off early really only means that I'm leaving half an hour late still.
On my way home, I realize that I haven't eaten a damn thing all day. Fuck you, Friday.

That's right, a journal update AND a new profile picture in the same night! Thought it was about time to ditch the fridge, though it treated me well.
In case you were wondering, Thanksgiving was good. Had a lot of fun with the SG-SOCAL macro-group tonight as well. Let's hear it for broken skeeball machines!

I usually hate our customers more than just about anything else in this world, but occasionally they're good for a laugh:
"Hello!
Here's a lesson everyone oughta learn: believe it or not, when husbands are asleep at 9 AM on a Sunday, wives go out shopping for domain names as if they were browsing at victoriassecret.com."
Who knew?
