Nothing To See Here

[bjarvis]

I'm up to my ears in work right now. My team is still running with only 1/3 of our regular staffing thanks to illnesses, planned absences, paternity leave, etc.. I've been shuffling through my work, the tasks left by others and a handful of planning tasks for projects coming up in March.

As much as I'd like to report how exciting all of these tasks & projects are, it would all be a lie: this is entirely ugly grunt work, pushing ones & zeroes into various applications to generate reports no one will read but are required to get the real work done later. It's boring, hideous and unglamourous but it needs to be done. If I'm going to get paid, anyway.

On the good side, I got a lot of household paperwork done last night. We've mailed off our membership renewals for the DC Lambda Squares and I've just finished photocopying our membership renewals for CALLERLAB; I'll send the completed forms off with the convention registrations.

Now back to the salt mines...

Good luck with the big pile of tedious work. That sure sounds like it's no fun. I hope things start to improve soon.

It was great to see you at the convention! Thank you so much for all your help while I was there. :-)

Yeah, that's the sexy & glamourous life of a UNIX sysadmin. Good thing I chose this over something boring & lifeless like rock star or international spy. :-)

And thank you for calling such a fun weekend! I've started transcribing the recordings I made and am stealing mulling over lots of choreo possibilities I may adapt into my own stuff when my brain recovers.

Yeah, who'd want to be a rock star or an astronaut or something? Sheesh. All that excitement.

You're very welcome! Steal away! :)
