The move is finished; the unpacking begins.
I’m on a week’s vacation from work this week. Turns out we also get Memorial Day Monday off, too, so that’s an extra day for my vacation.
Otherwise, it’s a typical day. No, slightly worse. No, more than slightly.
It’s been seven years. Each day still as painful as the first.
Reasonably busy day today; worked on a bit of detective work with some of the servers. Also worked on trying to get a server across the country backed up so we can migrate it to another set of hardware. That failed, but then it was a slow Internet connection anyway. We’ll try to get it going again tomorrow.
The move still continues. This time should be the last for a while. I hope.
Now I just have to do laundry — I’m rapidly running out of clothes, what with the business trip last week.
Times like this, though, I wish I had a friend — living alone again is nice, but lonely. Ah well, it’s better this way. I’ve just got to remember that.
Somehow I survived the trip. Although I didn’t want anything to happen to the rest of the passengers, I was hoping at least for another airline tragedy. I guess I just wanted the whole “blaze of glory” ending. Oh well. Maybe next time.
Utah was a nice place to visit. We went to Salt Lake City to see the Mormons, and I got some nice photographs which will be posted … soon … and we experienced the signature Utah condiment of “Fry Sauce”. It’s not ketchup, it’s not mayonnaise, it’s not mustard. It’s fry sauce. Actually it tastes almost exactly like the dipping sauce they serve at Zaxby’s, except they package it in bottles and have condiment pumps in the restaurants … particularly an establishment known as “Crown Burger”. They’re main innovation in hamburger creation involves the additional topping of pastrami. It was actually pretty good.
Sat next to a very pretty girl on the flight back. We talked a bit, but she was more interested in watching a movie on her Macbook than in general conversation. She also had some interesting quirks.
In any case, as usual, nothing happened.
Don’t act so surprised.
I’m spending the week in Utah. The food is amazing, and the mountains are incredible. Last night they took us to a Japanese Benihana steakhouse. The chefs prepared the food right at the table and it was a great performance. Tonight, another of our hosts took me to Salt Lake City to see the sights. We mostly toured the Mormon buildings. From a historical and architectural standpoint it was amazing. I disagree with their beliefs, but they have some great buildings and locations.
I got some nice photos on my phone, so I’ll see if I can get those posted at some point. This CMS is acting up, so it’ll probably have to wait until I get back home.
In any case, we return tomorrow night. I’m anxious get back home again … but I know when I do I’ve got so much to take care of.
Change is in the wind. And the wind never seems to stop blowing.
