It’s really good but we are just crazy busy at work.  We have a quite a few big projects that we or I am planning that will need to take place in May.  My boss is in need of a few KVM switches to get all his computers hooked up in his new office.  That way he can configure our new load balancer (Fat Pipe) and our new watchguard firewall.  He is pretty busy too.

One of my major projects is to re-cable our patch panel and switch.  We ordered some custom cables and some new cable management items and they should be in late next week.  So 1st or 2nd weekend of May we will take it down and get it all nice and pretty.  Then our backup project.  WOW this is a killer.  We are trying to determine what will be the best for our company.  It’s tough and a lot of money so we are not trying to rush into a quick decision.

Next project after that is to buy another new server to test and deploy Exchange 2007.  I’m pretty excited about this, however I know it will be a long road.  Especially since I have to split my time between all the other daily tasks and emergency’s.  (I need my co-worker to step it up)

Oh well at least right now it’s Friday night and will think about all of this later in the weekend.

I cannot believe it’s already the 17th.  This month feels like it has just flown by.  In fact it’s been so busy I haven’t posted anything in a long time.

Soccer started back up for 2 weeks now, and that takes up a couple of my free nights after work.  Trying to get the girls ready for spring league games which start in mid February.  Speaking of work, that has been busy too.  We usually are pretty swamped in January right after the holidays.  The IT Dept (my boss and I) came up with our 2009 goal list and there are some things we might not accomplish, but I hope we can complete all of them.  Here are a few items from that list which I also have to learn and research prior to completing.

• Moving from Exchange 2003 to 2007 (on a virtualization system)
• Windows Server 2008 (Active Directory)
• Put in new phone system (ah that is what I’m doing later today) – Check..
• Hire a web/print developer
• And various other goals and small projects.

I have put in a lot of Facebook time looking up people and using it more.  I haven’t played the Wii too much this last week but a whole lot up to last week.  I guess I need to jump on that today and get some time in =).  Tomorrow I will be taking my little brother (I’m a big brother for North Texas Big Brother, Big Sisters) to the movies it should be fun.   I have also been using up my commute time to listen to some cool books lately.  This one is called “The 7th Son” it’s by JC Hutchins.  I I just finished book 2 and starting book 3 today.  What an awesome story so far.  I highly recommend it.  Oh and it’s free to download.  And last but not least we got our final approval for our adoption/foster license.

The rest of January is uncertain except a few things.  Of course more soccer, might goto the sci-fi/comic con in Dallas next weekend and more work and soccer, lol.

Has your January been busy so far?
