Status Report…

So, where are we today? Let’s see. Have I ever mentioned some of the things that bug me at work? No? ;) Well, let me mention one tonight… If there’s one thing that sysadmins hate across the world, it’s when you ask a user “What was the exact error message?” The response usually starts like this, “Well, it was something like….” I can’t tell you why this annoys the snot out of us. I can’t say that it’s even fair that it does, but Jesus Happy Christ it really gets under my skin. Start your response like this, “I didn’t write it down, but…” How is this better? I don’t know. It just is… Everytime I encounter this situation my blood boils… But then I think about the poor mechanics that I have to deal with when I say, “Well, it’s kind of a clunky sound…” hehehe Same same… I’m such a dork…

I’m officially obsessed about racing bikes now… Thanks a lot to Mark and WW! Heidi got me Sport Riding Techniques by Nick Ienatsch and sealed the deal. :) I’m hooked. She did this even though she is truly against me riding. :) She just wants me to be happy. :) Do I have the best wife on earth or what! So, my Honda dealership here gives away Track Days up at Firebird when you purchase a new bike! Muhahahahha! I can’t wait! Now, if someone could just get me a winning lottery ticket… I don’t need a big one, just a nice small one would be fine! :)

Rhys is doing great! Well, nice and steady anyway. He’s smiling more and more. He’s still on oxygen, but I have a feeling it won’t be much longer. His reflux seems to be getting better. He’s more alert and tracking things with his eyes now! He’s soooo cute. :) I can’t wait until he is old enough to really appreciate things. All things in time. It’s hitting me more and more just how tiny he is. He’s a 5 month old… But, he looks like a 1 month old… And, he should look that way, it’s just strange to get used to… You can’t help feeling he is behind in some way. You really have to step back and adjust your thinking.

On the horizon, I have an MCP Cert to get and a day shift to finally get onto. That and I have to get my bike!!! :) hehehe

Take care out there!

Hey, I just wanted to tell you what I told Heid…he is exactly where he should be. I think of him as a 1 month old, I guess cuz I’m stuck up here w/out y’all, but he’s doing things technically the same time miss Molly has. Hakuna matata, baby!

on another note…I haven’t had a cig in 1 week. 7 days. 168 hours. 10080 minutes. HEHE just kidding, it really isn’t that bad this time:) We’re proud of you too!
much love-
bob
