Crazy weeking helping A move her stuff, some drama to discuss with Chez about her relationship, and went out to dinner with GoodBoy to celebrate his exam success.

- 12:45 - First update possible this morning.�

- There were� Portal issues this morning related to the log space on the Minotaur cluster.� Apparently it sent out warnings about the situation but� nobody got them due to our "private time" settings on weekends.� (we don't like to be disturbed on weekends, so on Sunday nights, all pages are held between 11pm and 5am.� Even on critical systems.� d'OH!)

-Network issues in the office related to the installation of new carpet.� I drove in this afternoon to do a Satellite presentation to the OPS guys, and because we're interviewing another candidate today.

- Working on an on-boarding document for new folks.

- 1PM - Satellite demo is just about ready.

- Satellite demo went well and I'm going to patch the Dev Portal on Tuesday.� Actually, I'm going to see if Chops wants to do it.

o - Interview went well.� Everyone agrees that this guy is a better pick than DevilBoy so I'm pretty sure Mr. T. is going to extend an offer.� Good for us!� :)

4pm - Going home for the day

    CORALINE's Interests:

    About Me: Little Plastic Castle is an extension of This Child's Life which is not hosted at inboxjournal. This blog will make little sense to anyone other than myself. It's a stream of consciousness log of what I do on a daily basis in my job as a UNIX computer systems engineer. o/~ "They say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine...so the little plastic castle is a surprise every time, and its hard to say if they're happy, but they don't seem much to mind." o/~ I endeavor to respect confidentiality and thus I use nicknames for the people I work with. (Mr. T, Ratface, Jerry, Cartman, Grandpa Simpson, Slick, and so on.) I drop system names in here and abbreviations, but any note that requires something like a FQDN will always be marked private. You can comment if you like, but I'll only respond if I feel like it.

    Interests: Cast of Characters: Just a few of the names I use for people, this is the nickname and what their job responsibility is. Mr. T - My Direct Manager (Engineering) Slick - ESX Specialist Cartman - Network Engineering Lead Grandpa Simpson - Network Engineer Becky - WebSphere Engineer Ratface - Developer/Architect Jerry - Project Manager (BTI) Matt T. - Project Manager (Blackbird) The Martian - Application Developer AVP Ice Queen - Engineering AVP Chez - Assistant to Ice Queen Watts - Engineering/Development Sr. Mgr. Hoppy - I.T. Security LDAP Squirrelface - I.T. Security Accts Woodchuck - I.T. Security Accts Russian Bride - Application Tester Trisha - Testing AVP Tequila - UNIX Admin OPS Chops - UNIX Admin OPS Mac - UNIX Engineer (Contractor, works with Tequila & Chops) Margie - SAN specialist (ch)InkPen - Backup Specialist Chimpy - OPS Mgr Duke - UNIX Lead even though he knows nothing about UNIX
