I worked in DC for part of my day today. It was not too bad. I had a great view for lunch and after work I got a haircut and went grocery shopping. The Giant had a supper surprise just for me! Ghost peppers! I had to buy some. There is a warning label not to handle them with bare hands! Tomorrow’s omelet is going to be EPIC!

WORK!
I got worked at work. We needed to unpack 8 cabinets. we needed to unbolt them from the shipping pallets, 8 bolts each and then lift the heavy buggers off the skids. We working on the things, sweating on the loading dock, then working in the computer room for 3 hours straight and it was work! When I was done I was really tired. tonight looks like a 7pm bed time. I need it.

I worked our offsite location today. I know this is going to be a shock to anyone following along, but both requests were screwed up! Wrong equipment IDs, wrong port assignments, just wrong. I just do not know how these people are able to still be servicing a government contract. No one is steering their ship, they are out of gas, and the navigation system is not working, They could be as successful as they currently are by staying home and not doing any work. Atleast then they would not be generating double or triple the amount of work for others.

HOURS OF YARD WORK!
Today was was a great day with my wife. We hiked, we laughed and them we did yard work. That was not so great but it needed to be done. It looks like one more good day of yard work and we will have done what needed to be done.

Today is September 11, 2015. It was a somber day filled with thoughts of how our lives changed that day in 2001. It was not just me either. At the Gym today as I was working out next to others in there way too early I noticed a guy come in that just did not look right. It was not just me, I noticed as my head swiveled to follow his path deeper into the gym the lady next to me was doing the same thing and started watching him before I did! 10 minutes latter there was a second guy that did not fit the norm of a guy coming into the gym, but was more likely because he looked homeless versus the first guy that just looked like he was up to no good. Everyone was extra vigilant today.

Since my wife is visiting relatives I am the kitties full time human. They have decided I need to get up at 3AM every morning so far. I can hear Pandora meowing through a closed door and over the sound of the box fan! She is crazy. Today I was in the gym at 3:40 am. If it was not for the demo work today I would have had a killer weight lifting workout followed by cardio. I knew I would not be able to function properly if I lifted so I did not. Tomorrow is 9/11. Time to be extra vigilant and also a time to remember those who lost their lives in the attacks against us. It is tough to hear our president and current administration talk about how we need to take in refugees from nations that do not care for us one bit.

What a day today. I was busy at work all day. I needed to demo cabling after I finished a work request. I submitted my completion email and the engineer did not understand his machines were not sent with the connections he thought he would have. I suggested he go and see the equipment himself. He did not want to do that, instead he wanted me to call him and discuss it. That was not needed since he has a history of rambling on about connectivity concepts instead of supplying the required information. I again emailed him letting him know he needed to go and check his equipment. Again he wants me to call him. I instead go to his office and show him the picture of his equipment so he could understand. He aggressively took the phone from my hand and started looking at the picture and still did not understand. That is when I aggressively took it back and showed one of his coworkers the picture. his coworker told him he needed to go and see the equipment himself. Crazy day, I am still annoyed at the whole situation.
