Finding some music to listen to. I think it’s going to be one of those days.

Documenting all of the accounts, passwords, procedures, and just about everything I do at SVSU. Basically a brain dump.

I’ve been running around campus all week applying updates which make logins over a minute faster. Only a few labs left to do.

Kind of hard to get any work done when all of the documents I need to edit are on a shared network drive which has been up and down for weeks.

SVSU closed at 11. We’re supposed to get up to 10 inches of snow today.

Snow day today but now I have to go in tomorrow for a few hours to change boot settings on all podium computers around campus.

SVSU is closed today. Big snow storm. I had a lot of work to get done, but there is always next week.

Everyone seems extremely needy this semester.

Only working a half day today. The rest of the day I’ll be in the dentist’s chair getting a root canal, crown prep, and implant crown prep. I think I’d rather work all day.

Ordered food from New China. Picking it up on the way to work.

2 days left to get everything done at work. School starts on Monday, but I’ll be gone to MacWorld.

Imaged 150 computers today at work and would have been 50 or 60 more if I hadn’t wasted 2 hours using an the wrong images on a couple of labs.

One more work day. Then 12 days off. 8 of those (weekdays) are paid without using any vacation, personal, or sick time!

Can’t stop eating. We have tons of food at work today.
