It's sorta nice that all the big "gotta do during an outage at time i" stuff is done for the summer. It leaves a little bit of an annoyance though, as now I have all these things that are "gotta do anytime between times o an k", and times o and k are widely separated. I need to just sit down and plan them out, but between just being glad the other stuff is done, being tired of working on that, and wanting to do mindless stuff for a bit, yea...

The last couple days I've been just trying to catch up on all sorts of little things, in between telling people to go read other things and that other things are not really broken and to try the correct way. I get that after every upgrade, it's a balance between not telling people too much so they blame everything on it and trying to pass it off as a minor upgrade, and making it sound important enough that people read everything. Unfortunately we tend to have to make enough last minute changes due to outside input (like we could have used those dates on the schedule you gave us two months ago), combined with the fact that everybody's dates conflict and we can't announce dates in advance or people will manage to convince someone that we really need to reschedule to some other point which will inconvenience more people (but ones who haven't complained to a lot of people yet since they got blindsided by the change). Oh well, such is academia. At this point I'm taking the approach of " need sleep, send me an Incident and I might look at it tomorrow."

Today was hot. Very hot. And apparently the HVAC was broken in the CC building. So almost the entire server team relocated to another building for half the day. And they wonder why we all asked for laptops and wireless access points all over campus. :) But yea, chalk up one more reason why we prefer email and Incidents to the phone. Laying back on a cool leather couch is very preferable to sitting in an average office chair in a hot and humid office. It's supposed to be warmer tomorrow. I doubt they fixed anything since it probably just wasn't keeping up (it does this ever summer, hence the prior planning with laptops), so I wonder what I'll have for an office tomorrow.
