turn the page

i asked the laid back guy i work with if he could build a few blade servers for me. i gave him all the details like names and addresses and which blade to build each one on. he logged into the blade chassis and just picked the first server in slot 1 to start the build. i asked him to build on the server in slot 4 as that was the hardware that had been allocated to me. he replied that it was not important which actual blade it went on as long as it was in the right chassis. what!!!!. no dude, thats not right, you MUST build on the allocated blade otherwise it screws everything up.

anyways i insisted they get built on the particular blades assigned but i fear for what he has been doing the last couple of months. you know what?, i just don't want to know. if that is how he has done things then everything he has done is going to be screwed and need to be re-installed. oh man......i just don't want to know about the mess out there.

aside from that things are ok. been working quite long hours because i have a ton of stuff to do, most of it not requiring the use of my brain. just chasing up other people to get their stuff done so i can get on with my stuff.

had a call from the games company and the guy there said that one of their staff was maybe emigrating in the new year and that they would call me in if that happened and look to get me in. i told him that was fine for me. in the meantime i am applying for other stuff and we shall see what comes through. nothing has yet and i know its a shit time of year and i know the economy is screwed but just like it seems that the good times don't last forever.....neither do the bad times last forever.

take care my friend. miss you.

today i have mostly been listening to metallica - turn the page. orginally a song by bob seger and both versions are wicked. sad video to go along with the metallica version done in a documentary style.
