First week back

Well it was back to the grind this week.  I  took Monday off just to unwined but that didnt happen.  When we were coming on Sunday, the weather wasnt the greatest so there was a 30min delay in Charlottetown which wasnt since we had a 3hr layover in Halifax.  When we got to Halifax we found out that that flight was going to be delayed but that changed several times.  Either way after 5.5hrs we were on the plane.  We get to Toronto to find out no luggage made it on the plane.  So we finally got home at 2:30.  Kev had to be up in the morning to work so he wasnt in the greatest of humor.  I got up had to get our metro passes for the month at the subway station then I head to the airport to see if our luggage was on one of the three flights that came that morning.  Found the luggage and since we always pack so lightly…NOT!!! I grabbed a cab that cost me 36 to cross the flipping 401 ( airport is on the north side and we are on the southside 7mins cab ride).  So once I got home with all the bags then it consisted of determining what need to be washed and if anything got broke.  We manage to get everything home without any issue.  The scallops were just starting to thaw so they went right into the freezer.   The rest of the day consisted of doing laundry and getting groceries and I found out the power supply in my computer decided to die during our vacation so Kev took the old one out of another computer so I could get back on the interweb.

Then Tuesday was back to work.  Everyone likes the new hair cut and seen my ring.  The week has been busy, our colleague Scott is awall again.  Every Dec-Feb Scott gets sick and we loose him for a long period of time.  It happened last year then he come back afterwards.  This is all fine however we are already a small group and when anyone is missing you feel it.

So the rest of the weeks was quite normal except Friday.  My superviser was off for the day so it was me and two collegues until our manager gets in at 10.  This is no biggie however we are in the process of getting out of the hosting business that was suppose to happen today.  When a migration happens customer have lots of questions so I already figured it would be a busy day.  So when we arrive the migration which was suppose to happen during the night didnt actually happen so it was just a normal quite Friday morning until 8:30 when the day went to hell.  There was an issue sending out mail, so our phones lit up like xmas trees.   So tried to get them those while updating the status pages for our clients to pervent additional calls.  So got most of that done, the our director came and then I started doing the running around for him.   I was down to the email department  to try and get and ETA, get in contact with my manager, find our developer,ect.  So the managed to determine cause of email and resolved that. So things are starting to go back to normal until downstairs lost all their power(power outage for the block, we are on the neighbours grid) so downstairs started to move their stuff upstairs so they could work.  This was all find and dandy however he took the power for the non essensel stuff to put towards the wireless, which meant they took the power away from the upstairs(our departments) resulting in us having no internet.  So we cant do anything for our customer other then try to help them blindly or take down their numbers.  We didnt know how long the power was going to be out so the manager and I were going to head down to our other office and setup a command post so emergency things could be done.  As we got everything gathered up the power came on down stairs.  When the power came on it killed one of the routers so they had to fix that  before we could get internet.  So we finally got internet around 11:30.   The rest of the day was the normal but the first part I dont want to have to do it again anytime soon.

The bright news for Friday, my ring is in.  So we are going to get it today.   We are planning on renting a car for we have lots of errands to do and it will be alot quicker then doing it on three transit systems.
