Thursday was Staff Appreciation Day, which was good. Twins game so that part wasn't too entertaining, but just sitting around talking with people and not having to work is always nice. Got to go home early too. Thursday was also National Hunger Awareness day, and as many of you probably know that means a free Chipotle burrito if you bring in two canned food items. So a bunch of Bethel people went there in the early evening. Free Chipotle is hard to beat. Later that evening I went to pick up my sister and bring her down to the Airport to pick up a friend's car. Given that I picked my sister up in Maple Grove and didn't really take the most direct way home, I basically made a big loop around the west/central cities. Only like 70 miles, but sometimes it's just fun to drive in the middle of the night on roads with like no other cars and the tunes cranked. Friday I started doing more account audit type stuff. This is cleaning up the old accounts before we do merging. I'd rather just get them out of there or at least flagged to basically ignore since we may have to do manual tweaks and stuff to the active accounts as glitches come up. Friday night was movie night, which was good. Pizza Hut were being jerks about prices so we ended up getting pizza from two places again. Oh well, such is life. Movie was BIg Fish which is interesting. Godo story, but not sure if I liked it yet. It seemed long even though it was only 2 hours. I think part of that is they jump around a lot. Yea it's to set the mood and understandable, but it doesn't seem to be done in a good way. Oh well. Saturday was sleep in day of course. This was followed by a trip to MG and then out to Rogers for my cousin's grad party. When I got there I found out I had to leave in like 15 minutes to bring my other sister to meet my grandma to go to a game. Unfortunately due to road construction this involved more driving than it should have, which wouldn't be bad except that it took some people longer than it should have to say hi to people so we were running late. After that it started raining very hard. Like can hardly see 50 feet in front of you hard. I intended to go home, although due to the aforementioned road construction that route was closed, and the detour route they had is normally bad and the rain didn't make it any better, so I had to go out of the way a bit to get decent roads. That was cool, other than the rain turning into can only see the guy 30 feet ahead of you because of his taillights. Good thing I know that route pretty well, because I couldn't see the signs over the road even as I drove under them. I like rain better when people drive normal in it rather than driving 10 under the limit and hitting the brakes randomly for no apparent reason too. As for the weather otherwise, it's getting too hot. The hot part isn't that bad, except for the humidity thing. Hopefully I'll get my AC running before this next week. As for other fun stuff, the exchange server was acting up the last couple days again. After getting the stuff copied I kept moving boxes over. Then due to old logs the drive filled up. Moved them over to another machine and was able to free up a couple dozen GB and keep the migration going. After all that finished was able to do an integrity check on the old store which returned no problems (funny since it's been complaining for the last few days), followed by a defrag which just builds new files and copies the data over and moves them over the old ones. Now we have around 50GB free, but it's still complaining there's corruption in that store. Crazy thing, at least there's not much in it anymore.
