Today started off pretty routine, nothing too exciting. After lunch I was just settling down into things when literally 2 seconds after the boss leaves one of the servers goes down. Of course while poking with that one I find another one is really slow. I think I get the first one fixed and find out the second one was unresponsive and eventually rebooted itself for unknown reasons (Windows machines are great about logging that kind of stuff). Then discussions on screen saver policy and more general cleanup stuff. After work was a trip down to Eagan to help out with
Operation Christmas Child. Found out about that one last night. Ended up spending 3 hours inspecting boxes, taking out stuff that wasn't allowed, and adding filler stuff to make all the boxes full. I think the oddest thing I took out was a glass vial of perfume. We normally toss them in buckets that are sorted through later and either put back in (they get more lenient as time goes on) or go elsewhere where they won't get the extreme heat/cold/shock treatment. That one ended up taped to the inside top edge of the bucket so I didn't end up smelling it the rest of the night... After that I looked at slashdot which was a bad idea since now I'm looking at this
cool portable mp3/ogg/flac player. Maybe I can sell my old one though...
Moon, if you took out the Legos I put in some boxes for the kids we'll exchange words. ;)
