Half day at work
« on: February 03, 2009, 03:05:11 PM »
A client cancellation led to a half day today. I'd say "yee-haa" but I'm at a loss as to what to do with myself now. The laundry is caught up, the place is... well, clean enough. It's snowing and cold in Cincy but tolerable. I have no dishes to wash and plenty of superbowl leftovers to reheat come dinner time. Sigh.

 :yawn:

I guess I could start drinking.

 :evillaugh:

What are you up too CC?

I've been messing with a friend's PC most of the day. He got several viruse. I got rid of them, but he had some problems with XP Home. I threw XP Pro on it. It's running quite well, at this point. I need to recover/ reinstall some other programs and it's done.

Grocery shopping, and visited a friend at work that I haven't seen in a while.  I organized my toolbox and bought a compression tester.  I love new toys. :hyper:

Just took a nice hot bath with some lavender bath salts. I needed to de-stress, and that usually does the trick... :)

Time for dinner and a homework assignment now.  :(

Basking in the glow of a successful implementation.  There are problems, but they are on the "other side."

I have convinced them I am a genius.  I'm not but I convinced them ;)

Truth in advertising. 

But, riddle me this...

If you are not a genius but you convince people you are a genius, does that make you a genius?

It at least makes you ingenious.

I have a similar situation at work.  The very-busy IT department manager was showing me a new Cisco 5510 Instrusion Prevention System about a month ago.  Last week he asks me to read up on configurig one from the default settings.

Yes.  Apparently, the 5510 is an upgrade of the PIX firewall. 

I'm out of my element here, but I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity.  I work for a small company, and I don't know if they can spare the resources to hire another system admin.
