It's nearly 11:30 at night and I still continue to wait. We have a facility moving their system over to another server. I already have my stuff down, been done for 4 hours, however, I have to wait for the other side. We were hoping like crazy they would be done and ready by 10 p.m. but alas it isn't so.

I received 2 calls last night during on-call. One around midnight and the other around 4 a.m. I stayed up after the 4 a.m. call. So here we are approaching midnight again and I have to wait. Because God knows if I lay down the call will come. Such is the life.

Since I am on-call this week, it seems my life revolves around work. Just can't get away from it. Fortunately it's only for one week.

My wife is stressing to the max. She puts everything on her shoulders. I mean everything. She plans what is needed, required, and to do before, during and after our road trip to Arizona coming up. She gives me a simple request and I seem to always miss the ball. I had said I would make an errand today. Well, today was the craps, since I was on support and 2 meetings to be in. Hence I didnt make it around lunch. I was on the phone all the way up to taking our son to therapy and totally wasnt thinking of the simple errand. Of course this was pointed out to me nearly 7 p.m. this evening. Crap. I could had made the errand if I left at that point, but that wasn't the point. The point was I failed to do it and it just another marker on the board. (In my mind anyway)

I will take the kids to school tomorrow morning. They are out Friday this week. The lucky brats only have 4 days of school this week and 4 days next. I plan to watch them Friday and all three of us to get a haircut. I wonder if a catastrophe will occur to ensure that simple request will not happen. Hmm. Guess we will see.

Now 11:35 p.m. and the vendor hasn't replied to my email. She must be doing something on her end. Perhaps she will give the thumbs up soon. Too late to start a movie. I already ate the remaining salad and munched on potato chips. There isn't crap on tv and I already read up on my blog roll. Crap, I hate having to wait.
