v7.5 - I'm Late

Morning folks,

{slurp}

Yes, I was late for work (again). Not entirely sure why, but I feel it is a mix of being really really tired and hitting the wrong buttons on my Alarm Clock.

v7.4 - The House Search

Morning folks,

{slurp}

Well, one more day (after today) of this hell hole and I get to sit back and enjoy an extra long weekend. I''m so looking forward to the 4 days off and I''ve only been back in the office for 2 days so far. Sad isn''t it?

{slurp}

v7.3 - I did it again!!

Morning folks,

{slurp}

Well, I did it again. I had a whole musing ready and waiting to go out and my system locked and I lost EVERYTHING! I really need to find a better way to do this thing. This is the 3rd or 4th musing I've lost due to the unstable laptops we were given at work. I just can''t bring myself to retype everything all over again. I also don''t have the time to retype everything this morning.

{slurp}

I apologize to you all. I''ll make it up tomorrow by presenting what I was going to present today. Maybe I'll find a way to write my musings so I don''t lose EVERYTHING in the event of a system or browser failure.

{slurp}

Have a great day all and we'll see you here again tomorrow.

Cheers,

Al

v7.2 - I'm Back!

Good morning folks,

{slurp}

It is Monday morning on this day the 27th of June the year 2005. Its good to be back in the office and writing to you all. I passed my course with flying colors and am now Sun Identity Manager certified!

Yeah

v7.1 - Without Coffee

Morning Folks,

No slurps today due to the fact I didn''t get a coffee this morning.

There are benifits of getting to work early in the morning and leaving early in the afternoon. First off, the line ups at Tim Horton''s are next to non exsistant before 6am. This makes for a fairly stress free morning of driving to the office and pulling in, placing your order and driving to the window for that first extra large double double of the day. I pulled into my regular Tim''s this morning and was amazed at how long the drive thru lineup was. Basically, if I had decided to stay and get a coffee, I would still be there waiting.

I had two choices. Wait for a coffee to do my musing and end up getting here and not having enough time, or skipping the coffee and writing.

Of course I choose the later and here I am writing away. The facility operators here assure me there will be coffee ready soon. Although the office blend coffee here isn''t all that bad, there is still no comparision to a Tim Horton''s coffee.

What the hell, may as well throw in a slurp here for fun.

v7.0 - Live From Training

Morning folks,

{slurp}

Got in a little early today and thought I should fire off a musing to you all. This has been a pretty good course so far and I''ve learned quite a bit about stuff that may or may not help me in my current job. :) I was a little disappointed at first because this entire course (despite being a Sun course) is based on the Windows operating system. We haven''t touched much on the Solaris side of things (yet?) but a I have been able to successfully been able to hook this bad boy up remotely to our systems in the office.

v6.9 - Rain Rain Go Away

Morning folks,

{slurp}

IT''S FRIDAY!

All I can say is thank God this week is just about over. Spoke with a friend of mine last night and we talked briefly about the work week and how it has been. I think we both agreed we would rather have a full week of being busy than a week of sitting around doing next to nothing. Personally, I have more issues at work when I don''t work than I do when I do work. Idle hands are the Devil''s tool (right Rick? :) )

{slurp}

v6.8 - Weeee

Morning folks,

{slurp}

Another day is apon us and another pile of issues to face. I heard on the radio this morning on my way into work that Southern Alberta will be hit with another massive rain storm. This will be the 3rd one in the last month to hit us causing major flooding and damage throughout. Starting tonight until sometime Saturday we are to expect 80+mm of rain to fall.

Oh well, I hope my step sister gets a chance to head out to the mountains at least once while she is here. Doesn''t sound like this weekend will be a good time to do it so we''ll see.

{slurp}

v6.7 - ......

Morning folks,

{slurp}

I had an entire musing typed up and ready to send and for some reason this damn application lost every last word. As a result, there will be no musing today. I'm actually starting to debate whether or not I will continue with the morning musings at this point. I love doing it, but I just can''t be bothered most mornings due to being bitter most of the time and causing issues with my words.

I apologize, it was a really good musing but I can''t take the time and retype everything and get it sent out. I guess I have some work to do. :(

Take care everyone.

Cheers,

Al

v6.6 - Mmm Gummy Bears

Morning folks,

{slurp}

First off, let me apologize for not getting a musing out yesterday. I was home sick and had a wicked head ache. Sometimes I find looking at a computer screen can be quite painful over an extended period of time. Yesterday was brutal (more so than usual) as I wasn''t even able to sit at the thing more than an hour or so. Even last night when I was feeling a bit better, I left all the monitors off so they wouldn''t penetrate my brain. That high pitched ping of a monitor just makes me bleed on the inside.

{slurp}

v6.5 - And the winners are...

Morning Folks,

{slurp}

Short musing today. Yesterday afternoon brought some pretty bad news for me and my family. Not the bad news like someone dieing, but the bad news in some changes here at work which are going to directly affect us.

{slurp}

v6.3 - Musing over Coffee

Morning folks,

{slurp}

Here we are again on a wonderful Monday morning. Yes, before you ask, I am kidding. :)

{slurp}

v6.2 - The Gnomes!

Good morning Folks,

{slurp}

IT''S FRIDAY!!!

Another week and come and gone and here I sit writing to you yet again. It is raining today.

{slurp}

v6.1 - Breaking Point

Good morning folks,

{slurp}

The weekend is almost here!! I just need to brave 15 more hours of this place and I''ll be set. Shouldn''t be too difficult as I''ve spent longer in front of a computer playing games. :)

{slurp}

v6.0 - LEEROY

Morning Folks,

{slurp}

Here we are! My 6.0 musing coming to you live from Calgary on the 1st day of June 2005. I have managed to write 50 musings so far and I''ve enjoyed every minute of it. There is this feeling of achievement when you create something and I have done just that.

I want to thank everyone for your support and honest feedback regarding my musings. You have all helped in one way or another to make this an enjoyable experience for me. I can only hope by writing to you all that I''ve created an enjoyable experience for you.
