I actually cannot believe it’s been this long..  I have been rather busy and there has been a lot going on this last month.  I have a lot to write about just don’t have a lot of time lately.

Here is a small list of things:

* Soccer season just started
* Weekend getaway to Fredericksburg, tx
* Trying to adopt a child

Over the next day or two I will post some write ups on these things..

It’s been a few years.  5 days a week.  Almost 52 weeks per year.  I drive the same route to work.  Now some days I may alter the way I go.  It all depends on traffic accidents, weather etc.  But for the most part it’s the same way.  Most of the time it’s rather boring.  I see the same ole stuff every day.  I pass by warehouses, homes, oil rigs, industrial equipment shops, parks, downtown Fort Worth, you get the idea.

I know most things are static, I get that.  Maybe I’m not wide awake while driving.  Either way I have to make it 28 miles to work.  At least when I was in Seattle I had huge tall trees and awesome mountain scapes to look at. 

Is your drive to work the same all the time?  What do you see when you drive back and forth to work?

I posted probably almost one year ago about having my current office re-done into something more practical and usable.  Well I get to move again and will get new office furniture.  I think I will be getting new carpet as well, which will be nice.  I think I need a new chair, but don’t want to push my luck just yet.

I will most likely have to share the office just like the one I’m in but that’s OK, cause I think it will be some time before that happens.  I like new office furniture.  This will be a great new start to getting a test network up and running and having an eyeball on the server room at the same time.  I’m sure my new office mate will not like to hear the buzzing of servers all the time, but it should only be for a few months at the minimum.  They will just have to get used to it.

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.

For some reason, lately I have been super busy.  So busy in fact I haven’t even had time to write that much on my blog.  So that is something I have to change in the near future.  I even think I’m closing in on a full year of active blogging on this site.  Must be some type of miracle.

Lately I have been working on some web sites and a friends network for his company, not to mention all the soccer that goes on.  Oh and cleaning house more like a spring cleaning.  I’m sure the garbage service hasn’t been happy with us, lol  but we have cleared out some space.

Almost have the room ready for our adopted to be child.  We are approved, etc.  Just waiting for God to present the child he wants for us.  But the room is almost ready.  My In-laws are going to make it down for Easter this weekend.  They haven’t been down in quite some time so it’s nice to see them making the trip.  They should be here tomorrow night.  And so it goes, yes my endless nonsense that no will read this entire post anyways.  So I will leave it with that.

Yep you heard that one right.  I need to go shopping and I really despise it.  Especially malls. Although they have tons of shops to choose from.  For example, shoe stores, jewelry, music, clothes, sexy lingerie, clocks, books, or movie theater etc. etc.  So you can pretty much find anything you looking for.  However, the crowds always seem to be BIG and BOLD.  Of course near a holiday there are more people.  I just don’t ever think you can avoid that.

Back to the subject.  I really need to go out and buy some dress clothes.  A couple shirts and maybe a couple pair of pants, socks and maybe some comfy dress shoes.  I guess I should do this to look more professional at work.  Plus (I cannot believe I’m going to say this) but I’m kind of tired of wearing jeans all the time.  Speaking of jeans, I need a new pair of those to.  Oh and some new sandals before summer gets here.  Well I guess time will tell if I actually get out and make it a store.
