oblivion

am flying the ship solo today as various people are away. i always end up flying the ship solo early on in my contracts. i never have a course or seminar booked and i never have any days off and always turn up to work everyday. that seems to be quite rare i have found. have had to do a long early to late shift today as i have to cover everything. 

anyways as per usual when i am on my own, it has coincided with one of the SANs going a bit mad. i don't know too much about EMC clariions but boy can you learn fast when you have to. it looks like one of the storage processor units has failed or maybe just needs to be reseated. some engineers from EMC have to come out and fix it and its not been too stressful for me. i never get too stressed out anymore. i think i used up all my stress at the internet company i worked for a while back. everything else since then has seemed quite tame in comparison. 

weather has gotten colder today and will be lame for the rest of the week according to the forecast. i need california so bad right now, but its just ages before i go. aarrghhh!!.

today i have mostly been listening to wintersleep - oblivion. i hate that thing where people describe bands by saying its new wave, meets industrial but with a bit of rock mixed with nu-metal but a bit funky. what the fuck is that supposed to mean? ..... but if i was going to describe them i would say it sounds like interpol meets the arcade fire, or in other words, .....they are good.
