Wow, that sucked

How sick can one man get?  Man, I sure tried to find out this weekend.  Ugh.  Wasn’t feeling great all week and friday came around and we began the move.  We had to take everything out of the server closet.  I mean everything.  Picture this – a metal cabinet about 7 feet high with servers slid into it with wires going EVERYWHERE!!  We told everyone we were bringing it down and just started unplugging everything.  And I mean EVERYTHING.  Took us about 2-3 hours to pull everything out, and have a pile of plugs, cords, and other nonsense all in a pile about 2 feet round.  And filled into all of that is about 5 years of dust.

Nassssty.  Needless to say, I swallowed about 10 lbs of dust and dirt, but we got everything over to our new offices and scarily enough by 9pm, we had internet access and most services up.  I’m still wondering how the hell we did it.  There are people there this weekend doing other things, but my part was over Friday night thank goodness.

Went to sleep with a super sore throat, woke up with it in spades and sinus pressure and pain from hell.  Ever feel like you have a dagger stuck in your eyes?  Yeah, now heat the the dagger up to a million degrees and then shove it in your head.  Multiple times.  That’s not even close to what it felt like when I woke up.  Needless to  say, I spent all day on saturday in bed, which truthfully, I needed.  Woke up this morning a bit better and a combination of tylenol, my antibiotics, sudafed, and lots of tea helped make sunday at least a human day.

I go in tomorrow and get to set up my office(I’m going to post about that tomorrow), and hopefully spend little time on getting people set up, and just revel in the fact I can close my door
