Another day

March 13th, 2007 | by audit |

Well Karen’s finally back in town after being in Florida for a few days. She gave the kids and I one hell of a scare when we went to the airport to pick her up. After EVERYONE was off the plane and we saw them loading the luggage for the next flight on it, we really started to wonder if she missed her connector flight since we hadn’t seen her yet. I called her mom and asked if she’d had heard from her but received attitude from her, but that’s normal treatment towards me from her so I just ignored it. Finally as I was getting ready to call the airport where she was supposed to get on her connector flight and have her paged, she comes strolling down. She got turned around and headed in the wrong direction after she got off the plane. The kids were happy and she was still kinda out of it due to the long day, her meds, etc.

So here we are on Tuesday and I’m learning to really hate paypal but for reason’s that I don’t want to go into right now as I’m still trying to keep my stress level nice and low. Last night Karen actually took a look at this site for the first time ever. I really think she enjoyed reading about her mom and step dad on it. I explained why I have it and she understood completely and said she does the same thing but on paper. To me it’s not the same but as long as she’s happy then I can be also. Trust me when I say, when she’s not happy, NOBODY in the house can be. It’s not her fault, it’s just the way things are.

So today I’ll be going through event logs on my mail server trying to figure out a damn issue with the backups and then trying to come up with a quick but efficient solution to make sure that my mail store is nice and backed up all the time in case the tape backup is shot. It’s strange cutting back on my balls to the wall work ethic but not so strange because I don’t feel like I’m ever missing anything because my Blackberry notifies me if my e-mail server takes a dump thanks to a nagios box that I setup at another location and it sends me an e-mail to my BB e-mail address.
My family is back together and that makes me nice and happy again.
