Endless work- vacation looms near
Seems like anymore, I am pissing and moaning about something on my blog. If it's not about the political situation its about my busy life.
Well, why break a going thing. I have been really humping it at work these past, now, week and half. Since we are going on vacation in like 6 days, thank God, everyone wants their pet project done now.
I been counting it up. I have rolled out nearly 50 interfaces since last Monday. I kid you not. One of my peers asked if I am going for the record. In addition, I have worked on new projects and a merge of two facilites. The merge consist of two facilites currently on two separate systems, going to one system. Basically a conversion of the systems. So for the past nearly 2 weeks, I have been basically turning on the music (loud) during my non-conference calls and hacking away. No news. No interruptions. So in a nut shell, work has been busy. Top if off this week prior of vacation, I am on call.
The problem with on call, other than it comes out to 5 bucks a night, I get the most stupid calls. Tired and exhausted, the family crashes (including me) before 9 p.m. tonight. This is highly unususal for me to go to bed and be asleep so early.
Low and behold, 11:30 p.m local time, I get a call from work. What is it about? Interfaces down...network outage...no. Some facility showing their radiology connection is down. OK. The facility says a (name withheld) consultant says she is working on it. OK. But I can't find her number anywhere.
I get up and look on my contact list for her number. As I begin to look, I see she is on sametime. We use Lotus Notes at work and Sametime is the equivalent of its IM. I simply tell her this. She doesn't first see her then know how to add her to her contact list. Sigh. This is what I get woke up for?
So as usual, once I get woke up, I have a hard time to get back to sleep. Yeah, I know more pissing and moaning.
