Well, I guess the whole week wasn’t bad…  Actually, none of it was completely bad.  Just a very hectic Thursday and Friday.  Where to begin…  Well, Thursday we had a funeral service for a very wonderful lady, and I was all dressed up, tie and all.  Anyone who has ever seen me at work knows… I don’t do ties often…  well, ever.  So I was all dressed up, and wouldn’t you know the network goes down.  The first thing I have to do when I get to work in a TIE is stick my head in the ceiling and start tracing wires and trying to find the problem.  Which by the way was a denial of service on the server.  I tried everything.  It was very annoying… I ended up having to call in the calvary, Charlie, an IT guy at a local accounting firm.  After alot of poking around and trouble shooting, we were able to track the problem to our DNS setup.  What a mess!  Anyway.  We got it resolved, but not before most people went home due to not being able to work.  That was about 3:30pm.  That is the worst part of my job, having the pressure of nobody else being able to do their jobs until I’ve done mine.  At that point I had about and hour to get the fellowship hall ready for a fundraising event.  Well,  it is stressful, but everything got done.  And I got home about 9:30pm.  It has been a long time since I pulled a 12 hour day.

Ok, now Friday…  It started out a much better day, until the phone system went out.  We couldn’t call in or out…  Actually, as I sit here at the banquet (oh, I am worked the banquet from 6-9 Thursday and tonight).  The phones still aren’t working… After the banquet I’m going to go try a few more things to get it working…  Long couple of days…  Oh, and when came back to church tonight for the banquet, I found a snake sitting inside the music entrance doors.  What a DAY!!!  Well, I’m taking it easy tomorrow.  We’re going to the pumpkin patch with Kayce’s sister and their children.  WHEW!!!

Oh, the picture is of the lightning and storms that came through last night.  It is from the leaf chronicle.  Actually, it was taken by the husband of a lady worked with last year.
