10:00: I am awaken by my wife’s alarm since she has work. I used to be able to get 6-8 hours of sleep with no issues waking up. Ever since the symptoms started I noticed I need about 8-10 hours of sleep to be completely rested.
10:05: I am up out of bed and let buster out.
10:30: I get a call from a client that is experience a power outage. The UPS is beeping and they want to know if they should turn off their server. I tell them to monitor the UPS and if the UPS gets to low battery to shut down their equipment, but the power will probably come back on before the battery gets low.
10:50: I jump into the shower.
11:10: I jump out the shower. I like to jump, can you tell? LOL j/k
11:30: I get a call from the power client again. The power comes back on for my clients office, but they are unable to get online or onto the server from the office computers. After rebooting computers and checking the network devices I decide to see if I can see the computers remotely. The only computer I can see it their server. I log into their server. I then log into their router. The router’s DHCP server somehow has been turned off. I turn back on the DHCP server and have the client reboot all the machines, and all the computers come back online and can connect to the server again with no issues.
12:00: Another client called while I was on the phone with the power client, so I return their phone call. He needs two power adapters for his sons’ laptops. I can order those as soon as he emails me the make and model numbers of the laptops. His laptop is also running slow and he needs me to take a look at it. He will call me tomorrow for me to look at it remotely.
12:15: I am off to a client’s office to drop off some toner. If this toner works, I will bring them additional toner on Monday before my Chemo because they are also located at EJGH.
12:30: I get to the office, and put in the toner and the printer comes online with no issues. An older linux server that they have will not boot after a power outage on Wednesday. I do some quick troubleshooting, but will have to bring the server back to the office to do a more in depth look over.
12:45: I am leaving EJGH. I stop by McDonalds for 2 McDoubles on my way back to the shop.
1:00: I am back at the shop. I bring up my food and other materials first, I then go back downstairs with a hand truck to bring up the computer in my van.
1:15: I eat my lunch and do some admin work.
2:30: I am running to the bank to make two deposits.
2:45: I am back at the office and make two more deposits to my Bank of Internet accounts.
3:00: I am going to work on that computer I brought back today, and the other computer I have in the office.
4:10: I just finished unseating and reseating and reconnecting all the wires in the computer I brought back today. The computer boots with no issues. I blew out the computer because it was one big dust ball.
4:30: I go across the hall to check on their faxing issues that I believe I have resolved by changing the settings on the fax machines.
4:45: I start working on a computer across the hall that will be discontinued for office use and brought home for personal use and needs to be cleaned up and reconfigured.
5:30: After trying to remove programs and clean up the computer I found it easier just to reimage the computer with the factory default from when it was shipped from Dell.
5:50: I am over in my office updating my blog and checking on a few things while I wait for the computer across the hall.
6:05: I go back across the hall, the image is finished installing. I setup the basics on the computer including Microsoft Office, Mozilla, Adobe Reader and Flash Player, Trend Micro, and LogMeIn for remote access.
6:20: I am back in my office getting ready to head out the door. Just getting a few things together.
6:25: I am outta here.
6:35: I get home. The TV is on with the Olypmics.
7:25: My sister and dad leave to go see Fiddler on the Roof at Tulane University.
7:35: I warm up the minute steaks from the other night for my dinner.
7:50: My wife gets home. She brought home some tomato soup along with some shrimp and crayfish etouffe. The etouffe was great as well!
8:15: I am back in the Lazy-Boy watching the Olympics with my wife.
10:00: My wife goes off, just me and Buster.
10:15: My mom comes from the back and watches the Olympics as well.
10:50: I get together some Graham Crackers and Nutella, yummy.
11:00: My dad and sister get home, they say the musical they went to see was great, I wish I could have gone, but too many people to be around…
11:50: Time to head to bed, I am feeling a little tired, and not much else to do tonight.
