Weekend WrapUP

I started off the weekend Friday night by going out to dinner at one of our favorite BBQ places.  It was really good and we ate way too much,  I’m getting hungry right now thinking about it. LOL

Saturday morning I was off to soccer practice (like most Saturday mornings).  Today we were having two practice games against 2 teams in our same club.  Our team showed up 45 minutes to 1 hour early to start warming up, and then we started shortly after 10am.  We lost both of our games.  The first one was really bad and the girls acted like they had chains staked into the ground and their ankles were tied to them.  The second game wasn’t as bad, but still bad enough.  After the 2 games, the 4 teams that were there all had a water balloon and soaker fight. (the temps were getting really hot).  So 3 weeks till tryouts, so I hope we get some players showing up at that time to add to our team.  After soccer I ran home and then off to target we go really quick, then off to our friends house in Alvarado for some games and dinner.

Sunday came quick and off to church we go - Servanthood was the theme. (John 13:1-17) was the focus.  After that a quick lunch and I was off to work for 3 hours since we had to upgrade some of our NIC’s in our Exchange, SQL and File servers.  All went great until we realized that DELL screwed up again (this isn’t there first time) and didn’t send us the right card for the Exchange Server.  Oh well I like to work weekends (NOT) and this will just make another weekend visit.  After work it was home to relax the rest of the night!

 

Work has been crazy

Yes I do work full time as an IT systems administrator and lately things seem to be out of control. Ever since I got back from Seattle in mid-april everything has been a blur. Just go, go, go… and so on..

This week alone I have been trying to learn VMware, Sql, SharePoint and it’s only Tuesday. Not to mention we have had some issues with our email server (Exchange) so that has taken up a lot of time. If it’s not one thing it’s another and sometimes I think I’m losing my memory and gaining some gray hairs…!! HA ha, ha, wouldn’t that be something. I’m just pressing forward in hopes that things will slow down and I can catch up and get some other things done.

Speaking of other things, today or should I say this morning I had 6 people come to me within 30 minute time frame because they forgot the password they changed yesterday and were all locked out of the network, lol… That cracks me up every single time.
