Weekend Update
Friday:
Spent most of the day, starting at noonish, with a co-worker installing the new primary file servers (everyone else was away for Good Friday).
Had to call Sun at one point late in the afternoon to get advice on hooking up the storage arrays from the old systems to the new. Was asked if I was related to the football star, whom I will now have to look up.
Realized it would take a while longer to get ClearCase (a software engineering application/database which has been through many corporate hands and is currently owned and maintained by IBM) to work, so went home late (nine-ish in the evening).
Saturday:
Grabbed lunch at a sub shop near work, was served by a cute cub with reddish hair and sideburns.
Returned to work at noonish, this time pretty much by myself, to work out all the issues with ClearCase. Among other things, this tool really does not like when you move servers around or rename them.
Fortunately I was done with almost all the issues by 8 PM so![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gmjambear and I celebrated with dinner at the Outback Steakhouse in Henrietta.
Stayed up late watching TV -- The Band Wagon off the DVR from Turner Classic Movies earlier that evening, the tail end of a CSI rerun and the opening credits of another episode, a full episode of Animal Precinct off the DVR (which I'd recorded specifically because it featured cute, hours-old puppies being rescued from a trashcan), and the tail end of an episode of Cold Case.
Today:
Slept in. Spent some quality time withgmjambear, got up at one-ish and took Brandy for a long walk into downtown and back, read the paper, checked out LJ, went to church and to dinner.
Today's sermon pointed out the phrase said by Jesus to Mary Magdalene at the tomb: "Do not cling to Me..." -- and pointed out the similarities to Terri Schiavo's family, that just as Mary Magdalene had to let go of Jesus, the family needs to let go of Terri. I thought that made a lot of sense, and indeed the priest had other examples from his own life that bore this out.
Dinner was at the Chinese buffet in Greece (that's the suburban town near Rochester, not the Mediterranean nation ;-) and there were lots of jokes flying around. I'll post those separately.
