As other folks on MystBlogs have made me feel somewhat better about my past weekend (i.e. misery loves company), I’m obligated to give back and post the rather roller-coaster-like fun I’ve been through.
Before starting, note that my ‘weekend’ normally starts first thing Friday morning, as I work 3rd shift. With that out of the way…
Fri afternoon – Planned upgrades to our backup system at work. Went smooth (so I should have realized something was amiss), done about 3 hours including cleaning up after.
Sat – Rather hellish experience with the second half of said upgrade. Included two hours following a red herring (bad tape made me think at first was a bad drive) and five hours on the phone with EMC (whose tech was really cool for someone on-call on a Saturday evening). Ended up my being stupid and not doing something out of old habit to clear part of the system configuration. *Huge-HeadDesk*
Sun-Today – Being ultra-careful and getting things back in order again. I’ll probably be still doing this another day or so. *sigh* Thankfully that was interspersed with nice weather on Sunday and Monday – enough so to run up to the NY RenFaire, so it was not all bad. Just annoying as ever…
