December for some companies is rather slow, some companies are rather busy.  Most times the company I work for is about medium pace.  However yesterday I made a list of the projects that need to be completed.  Some of them sooner than later, and of course all of them will take more than 1 day to accomplish.  Let’s not also forget the daily issues that come up.  Kind of like yesterday.

I had planned to start down my project list and then it happened.  “A Problem” hehe.  I get an email from our accountant and she was having some issues with quickbooks enterprise.  So I start to check into it and soon realized I was going to have to call their support line (which is a total pain).  That call lasted about 1 hour and to make a long story short, I worked this quickbooks issue from 845am till about 2pm.  Not really what I had in mind, but it’s my job so what can I do.  So moving along, here is a list of some of the projects that I need to start working on.

• Upgrade to Diskeeper 9
• Upgrade to Quickbooks Enterprise 9
• Upgrade our in house instant messenger (OpenFire)
• Patch our Domain Controllers
• Finish packaging up Adobe 9 to be installed by Group Policy Push
• Upgrade our VMware software
• Upgrade our LeftHand Networks software
• Quarterly maintenance on our Exchange Server

So as you can see I have a lot to work on and this is about 50% of my complete list.  I cannot pay you but if you would like to help any in way, I will greatly accept it, lol.

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.

So while I’m gathering up some info for some upcoming blog posts I figured I would post some things that I need to get done today. I’m going to post 6 things that I need to start or accomplish today.

• Work – Need to Learn VMWare and Share Point and create some virtual servers.
• Go to the bank before the wife hurts me
• Blog about something new
• Coach soccer for 2 hours
• Figure out contest giveaway to hopefully start this wed.
• More VMWare work.

Does anyone have important things they need to accomplish today?

UPDATE:
Emergency @ work and now I get to install and play with quickbooks Enterprise..  I don’t want to delay this either since it’s almost payday..  lol
