So, on the bright side of things, the last round of password expirations is done. Those were some hellish three weeks, I’ll tell you what. My job decided that we needed to come into compliance with state regulations on password security. This is a good thing. They did this by force-expiring everyone’s passwords in batches,…
Ch-Ch-Changes
I thought Monday at lunch was going to be my final goodbyes to Kylara, and the end of our relationship. But then when I showed up at lunch our friends were there hanging out, so we didn’t really get to spend much time together. As they got up to go get food, Kylara said she’d…
And So It Begins… 12 Days of Fun
So, Monday began the time of year where we work 12 days straight, right on through the weekend, because first student workers come back and we train them, and then the regular students move back to campus for Fall semester. The good thing is, we also earn a lot of comp time. Working 10 a.m.…
Protected: Just… Venting
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
New House, New Stuff, New Bills
So, the move went pretty well. I had help from lots of people: my roommate, his brother James, his girlfriend Kendall, Kylara, Aron (who is recently married and was just back from his honeymoon in Italy!) and neatly enough my old friend Becca from back home came up for the weekend to help me move.…
The Tech Wishes He Had a Place to Rage
I’m not really angry about anything. My brain just hurts. Today is one of those days where I just didn’t get started out on the right foot, and every step after that seems slightly off. This morning I woke up at 7:18 to get ready for work at 8am like I always do on Monday…
New Help at Work
Those of you who have read previously about my trepidation at work over our short-handedness, can now rest at ease much as I have. We hired on three hourly employees to fill the gap, at least for the summer, while we fill positions. My friend who was already on hourly, is about to step into…
TGIF: It’s a Crazy Friday
I’m here at work and it’s a craaazy day. Normally, my day consists of answering phone calls and e-mail and entering support tickets and updating documentation and things of that nature, until my lunch break, and then I come right back and go back to doing the same thing. Today, however, I started off the…
Tired, Sleepy, LOLCat-y.
I’m not sure why I’m so tired, but I do know that I went through half the night in a very light state of sleep. I woke up around 3am and the TV and light were still on. I went and shut those off and I slept slightly better for the next 4 hours before…
Current Work Projects
I have several things I’m trying to do at work while I’m answering calls and hanging on to my sanity. It’s neat to have something to be put in charge of and take responsibility for. Project 1: Update the Help Desk Website Copy Myself and the hourly full-time guy are in charge of updating the…
