Found a new site to add to my list. Reasons to Believe. I will add it to my link list. For those bored, check it out.

Today was another b&tch of a day at work. I am on support today and tomorrow. Add that to my on-call this week and it feels like work 24 hours a day. sigh. Last night they liked to kill me. An issue of our group access to OPENLINK was fried so I couldn't gain access till 1 a.m., that's 2 a.m. EST. The ticket they had never did say what the resolution was. In the mean time, I had a vendor's server that was using 100 % percent of the processor usage, I.E. everything stalled. So a call to that vendor, resolves it.

My problem is once I am awake; it takes me a good over an hour to get back to sleep. With calls every other hour last night, I guess I made around 2.5 hours of sleep. Fortunately the two issues are supposedly resolved. Hopefully the remaining week will be quite. Sure didn't start out that way.

My brother called me today. I was half expecting it. Without going into specifics, my brother is married to a whack job of a girl. I call her a girl, because she hasn't grown up yet. With two kids and a wife that is unwilling to view anything outside of her own bubble and unable to do anything, he lives in Hell. He is also unwilling to leave her, so not much I can do. Anyway, he asked me to be his best man for his re-wedding. They are already married. They married without telling anyone in our family or asking anyone to be an attendant. I was a bit miffed due to him being my best man on my marriage. They have been married for 5 years as of February.

They really cannot afford it. No-one seems to understand why they are doing it, with the exception of an attempt to capture something they missed before. My brother had stated before this will not happen (another exchange of vows in marriage), but she's been set to do it for the last 3 years. So I guess he caved in. I stated and asked him, I thought you were not doing this. He only replied meekly that he guesses he will do it. The only thing that is getting me through this shanagen is for him and the idea that perhaps they see it as a new beginning. Maybe one will grow up and the other will stand up.
