I have exactly two weeks from today to finish a project that I had two months to do. I haven’t even started. Did I procrastinate? Not really. Am I just way overworked? Absolutely.
Tonight I am seeing Charlene. It has been a while, so that will be nice. I’m not sure what we are going to do though. I guess it doesn’t really matter.
I get paid today, which means I can mail the rest of my bills today, so that is a good thing. That also means I am going to balance my checkbook today. I also need to cancel my Wells Fargo account today. Maybe I’ll do that at lunch.
The network is STILL down at work, and it is getting increasingly annoying. I have access to corporate email, and I can get to the web via a VERY slow VERY monitored proxy server, but the proxy server doesn’t know how to get to internal addresses, so turning it on and off is VERY annoying. Even if it could get to internal addresses, it is so slow I don’t know if I would want to use it. What is even worse is that it is down because they TOOK it down because somehow the Code Red Worm got into our internal network and they fear it may have been through the firewall. Um. I guess they don’t have much confidence in their abilities to create an effective firewall. I know that if I created it I would be 100% certain that the worm could not get in through it. At the very least, I would monitor for those types of packets and drop them the second they tried to cross.
It’s raining and thundering and lightening outside this morning, and it is only 79° outside. Now that is wonderful.
I must shower and get to work now. I have no clean work shirts, so I am not sure what I am going to wear. Either something dirty, or something that is strictly forbidden by corporate dress code.
