It's been a long day - the weather outside is beautiful (although it is starting to drizzle), and I'm stuck here. It isn't a bad thing. I had to bribe one of the trio of boy techies to come in and do some work for me that I didn't want to pay for.
Now, bribing for me is common. I don't know if the trio of boy techies (3bt's) do this because they like the bribes (which usually ends up being food or drink or any other combination) or because they are honest and nice guys. Sometimes everyone here thinks that the 3bt's are wrapped around my finger. Today is one of those days. I have this huge battery backup that needs to be placed. It's heavy. It's cumbersome. And my server room is TRASHED.
But what sucks is that my feet hurt. I got brand new Clarks and with it being warm outside, my toes sang out "Free at last!" this morning. There was no way that they were going into tennis shoes or anything else. But breaking in sandals on a long day is never a good sign. I'm sitting at my desk, waiting for the chosen 3bt to show up, with my shoes off.
Plus, I've had to borrow someone's extra t-shirt. It is out of modesty that I do this. The equipment that is being moved into the server room is heavy and I need to help. I can't be worrying about my plunging shirt showing too much. So I have to wear a t-shirt. I just have too.
So, now I have to figure out how long I'm going to be here, be jealous that my friend got a Wii!, and tied for time as now I have to make an entree for pot luck lunch tomorrow.
