Yesterday afternoon was totally FIRED. Too much going on at once. I was trying to be Sysadmin but I had people expecting me to be Desktop Monkey and Programmer Support at the same time. To top that off, my Sysadmin ventures were not completely successful (although it was definitely I Know How To Fix This for Next Time).

It all got better when I got home. A Kahlua truffle helped lighten my mood considerably. Then I went to [livejournal.com profile] serenejournal's and got fed excellent lasagna, salad, and home made ice cream (two kinds, WOOT). I brought some wine and truffles and enjoyed them with my meal. I slept well and am looking forward to taking a pastry class from the one, the only Chef Shuna Fish Lydon of [livejournal.com profile] eggbeater.

Gotta go. I have to go to the bank for my ROTH IRA and get breakfast before noon so it's time to boogie.

Continuing the Inherited Cell Phone Saga:

I got a call from an office # at 8 pm tonight. As Mr. Berry was buzzing merrily with urgent alerts, I thought the chance that the call might ACTUALLY BE FOR ME was very good.

I bobbled the buttons and the call went to VM. So I needed to go through ALL the messages.

Apparently the water meter at a property that Previous Holder owns in Reno was going completely nuts ... gallons and gallons. Several urgent calls from meter readers and the property manager.

Which of course I didn't get at the time because it was Good Friday and I had MY phone OFF.

I realize that it's tough to get some places to update their records (I think the vet still thinks my Chiron # is my work phone) and my Western soul cringes at the loss of so much water ... but OOOOOPS.

(I guess that's why I have the # now. ROFL.)

In other news, it was Release Manager phoning (yes, that's right, at 8 pm on a day I did work at 4:30 am) to ask me about availability for a systems thing next week ... some claim that HelpdeskPerson had sent out email (which I didn't get, but maybe it went to BossMan). This was after I sent the polite "do not contact me individually, keep my boss in the loop" email. I suspect BossMan will push back harder. ;)
