Sweater Project

I have got to stop going to Alamo Drafthouse on school nights.

I went there a couple years ago when Serenity came out, and a few minutes before the movie was supposed to start, I got an emergency page saying that the DNS system (which I was in charge of at the time) had died. I hauled ass back home and fixed it remotely.

Last night, a similar evening was underway when I got not one but three phone calls from separate people on my new team at work - apparently someone drove their truck into the transformers that powered one of our data centers, and to make a long story short, we had to take a lot of computers offline before they overheated. I was in the office unti almost midnight handling calls (which were for the most part very pleasant and not hostile at all), then I went home and had horrible cramps until about six-thirty in the morning.

But we’re getting our jobs done and handling all the issues as quickly as possible. This isn’t the best week by a long shot, but I really love this job.
