09/07/2012:
11:30: I get up. I am feeling OK, but a little weak and a little nauseated, but OK. I do some work on the computer and eat a Big Mac. I also take a Zofran to take care of my nausea.
12:10: My wife calls me saying that she locked her keys in her car at school. I tell her she should go to class first and call me after her classes and I will bring her the spare key, she goes to her class and will call me later.
12:20: I call a client who had called me the day before who had problems with their computer blue screening since the storm. I tell them that I can come over today, right after I get out the shower.
12:30: I jump in the shower.
12:40: I jump out the shower.
12:50: I jump in my van and head to my office. I pick up the CDs I need to fix the computer.
1:00: I leave my office.
1:10: I arrive on site.
1:15: I start scanning the computer with a chkdsk scan because the blue screen is showing the bootable partition unmountable.
3:00: The scan finishes up. I reboot the computer. I login and everything seems to be running fine. I will check back with him on Monday.
3:15: I head on out. I get into my van and head over to Delgado to unlock my wife’s car for her.
3:35: I meet my wife and unlock the car for her. I then head on over to my CPA to pick up the tax work for 2011 that needs to be filed by September 15th, 2012, because the extension was filed.
4:00: I get to my CPA’s office, and she goes over everything with me.
4:20: I head on over to my office.
5:30: I head on over to do some firmware upgrades on the phone system I am installing.
6:00: I pick up 2 McDoubles from McDonalds on Claiborne, little did I know a doctor got held up just a day before at this McDonalds.
6:45: I get to the office and eat my McDoubles.
7:00: I go to work upgrading the firmware on the phones from the factory firmware.
9:00: I finish the upgrade on the 10 phones which took 3 rounds of updates to get to the latest version. An office upstairs used to have a phone at second desk, but not a computer. I change out the wall plate to an RJ45 jack. I then go down to the com closet and tone out the line. I find it in the stack of telephone cables. I need to punch down the telephone cables to be able to use some of them as network cables. I then move the 66 punch block for the phones on its side in the closet. I then pull all the telephone cables that are Cat5e Cables and bunch them together. I then mounted a 12 port Cat5e Network Patch Panel to the wall in the com closet. I punched down the 12 lines and find the line that is being toned out. I then run that line from that patch panel up to the patch panel that I have in the rack. This is usually a no no, but when the current wires are too short to do anything else with, you gotta do, what you gotta do. I punch down the patch cable that I make once side RJ45, the other side RJ45 Keystone Jack and put it into the panel. I then test the cable and it passes. I move the phone to the desk and plug it in. This phone will not operate till the I get the Powered Network Switch that should come in on Monday.
11:00: I take apart the two front phones. I take off the stands and add on the stands that will support the side cars. I add the side cars, but the side cars I got are not compatible with the phones. BLAH My Chemo Brain has tricked me up again. I configure the phones to handle the cars when I get them in, and I also add the extra mailboxes to the phone systems for the office.
11:59: I am done for today. I start packing up everything and loading my van.
