Well, the second week of Carcosa Corp is over. Lots of meetings over
the last couple of days, still getting all my ducks in a row. My workload
is increasing, but I'm also getting more used to the pacing. Test on a
development box and verify it works in general, then test on a staging
server, and let the developers verify it does what they want, on the
same exact config as production. Then schedule an update during a window
and verify again. It's very different than what I'm used to, but then
again this is a whole different ball of wax. I keep saying that, and it's
starting to sink in. Next week I get to play cable monkey, but I'm only
tracing patch cables and moving them from one switch to another. Again,
not my choice of fun, but I feel more motivated here, and not just for
the moneys, but because I like my coworkers. That's pretty good motivation.
Speaking of monies, I got paid yesterday, paper check. That's...different. (direct deposit should
kick in in a week or two). Not quite a full week, but a nice chunk of
change. Mostly either going to pad the savings, or pay down credit cards.
Going to spoil myself a little too, a smidge. *grin* I deserve it.
Tonight is watching 'The Thing' (both the 1982 and the recent prequel),
updating stuff, fixing some stuff for a friend of mine, general tinkering.
How to relax on a Friday when you're a geek. Tomorrow is adulting during
the day, and visiting some friends I haven't seen in too long in the
evening. Fun fun fun. Then next week it's back to work, and getting
stuff in order. Go me! And on that note, I'm calling this a post. Catch
you all later.
Friday Fhtagnness
