Busy Sunday

I slept in this morning. While it felt utterly fantastic, it didn't exactly help me have a productive day. Ah, well... I consider it an investment in myself.

Last Friday morning, I learned one of our blades had a failed hard drive. OK, no problem: swapping a dead disk should be an easy operation. It turned into more of an educational field trip, giving me the opportunity to check into some supporting details.

( Light-weight geekery follows... )

I still need to open a support case with IBM for the disk replacement.

I was home again around 2pm and promptly flaked out for a short while.

kent4str and I spent nearly an hour digging out some details to help the DC Diamond Circulate treasurer figure out some allocations for the final convention report due in Chicago later this week. Her computer suffered a disk crash a month ago and while she's been able to recover much of the data, there were still some chunks left in limbo. Witness the importance of backups, people!

This evening, we went into downtown DC to collect bibliocub and then skip over into Arlington to pick up Jeff M. for a mexican dinner in Del Ray, VA. I keep telling myself I have to stop stuffing my face with the complementary chips & salsa so I'll have room for my entrée, but I blow it every time.

After dinner, we walked a few blocks south to Dairy Godmother for ice cream. I had the chocolate brownie sundae. Again, I ate too much. I really need to cut back.

We're home again and I still need to iron shirts so I'd better get busy!
