bjarvisAs expected, this has been a rather heavy week at the office and after-hours.
While my on-call pager has been relatively quiet --blessings to Allah, the baby Jesus or the Lord Gawd Margaret or whomever-- I've had higher than normal levels of other on-call associated tasks. Fortunately, I've been able to keep up.
I've done more hardware cutovers and operating systems in the past three business days than in the prior three months. I have another tomorrow and four next week so I can safely say I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I do consider myself lucky that all have been smooth and uneventful thus far.
The last of our memory improvement classes with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caller_dayle was Monday night. For the most part, we were implementing previously-learned fundamentals to cover other special cases such as directions, instructions, narratives, etc.. It's been fun but I'm glad to get my Mondays back for other projects.
A tonne of other people & tasks having been gnawing away at my available time lately. While I've said no frequently, a few people have chosen to ignore that; I'm going to have to be much more forceful, or be more specific (eg. I'm not available for anything until May, 2009). So many projects, so little time and resources to go around, and it's cutting into my LJ writing time.
I kinda wish I wasn't going to C1 tonight but we have just enough for a square if I do. Besides, I had already said I would so backing out isn't really an option without a phenomenally good reason. I'll probably feel better afterwards anyway... I usually do.
