Another weekend is upon us
Hi everyone;
Today was a very productive day at work. A colleague had to restore
nearly 1TB of data to a Windows 2003 server that had previously crashed
due to a faulty RAID array.
After hours of working at it, the machine kept running out of memory
processing files. I had never seen that sort of problem before so I
opened up a tech support call with our data protection software company
and in a few minutes, a customer support engineer contacted my colleague
and they fixed the problem. The restore is in progress and its working
fine now, although it will take all weekend because that server is slow.
Anyway, for some reason, I had a calendar entry that I had a dentist
appointment after work today, but I never got a confirmation call from
my dentist's office manager so I called there and it turns out, I must
have made a mistake because she didn't have me down for an appointment
today. Weird!
After work today, I stopped by one to visit a cousin who lives near my
parents. He's a few years younger than I am, but he has a disability
that makes it hard for him to work. I offered to pay him a few dollars
to do some cleaning for me, so I picked him up after work, then we went
over to visit my parents.
After we finished visiting my parents, we went to a local seafood place
to eat what for for dinner. I had the scallops and shrimp combo with
french fries and macaroni salad. I my cousin ordered the fish and chips.
We both enjoyed our food.
Then I drove us over to the Target in Cherry Hill because I need to buy
a new bedspread, but they didn't have any that I like. I did buy a new
cordless phone because my kitten has taken some joy in chewing the cord
on my corded phone in my bedroom. Sigh!
Then we went back to my apartment and we cleaned out one of my closets
and my cousin cleaned my kitchen.
Tomorrow morning, we'll do more cleaning. My cousin has a gift
certificate to Ted's Montana Grill steakhouse. They feature bison meat.
We intend to go there for lunch. Then we have tickets to the Temple vs.
Penn State basketball game. After the game, I am going to a friend's
house to decorate their Christmas tree.
On Sunday, a friend and I are getting together to take a mutual friend
out for brunch for his birthday. We plan to go to some restaurant in
Peddler's Villeage that is well known for its Sunday brunch. I don't
know the name of the restaurant though.
Then afterwards, I am going back home and spending the rest of the day
studying for my final exam.
I hope you all have an enjoyable and smoke-free weekend.
