“It’s 5 am and the late late show is over…”

Ok, so it’s only 2am, but still. Got out of the LUG meeting (and after-meeting… ie: nachos over at the pub with the boys) late and by the time I got home, did my laundry, and got around to updating, finishing up etc it was already late enough I had no chance of getting the 8 hours of sleep that I was hoping for, and will have to deal with the 5 or so I’ll get between now and getting up in the morning to do training.

I did an install for work this afternoon evening, and it sucked. Normally these things are semi ok, but this time a combination of ethernet cards coming up in the wrong order, cables, bad faxes and putting IP addresses wrong the “quick” install turned into a 3 hour ordeal. And the person there was all bitchy-like and had to leave at 5 or something (she was there till 6 cause she couldn’t leave with me in there (ha!)). When we finally got it working I didn’t have time to set things up on a client machine and do training so guess who gets to wander into Surrey first thing tomorrow. Been a while since I’ve had rush-hour to deal with though, so I guess it’ll be a matter of re-education or something. Getting home was nice after that though, mad people in rush hour trying to kill me aside.
