Mornin' everybody I got to sleep last night! I got 9 hrs.... I'm slightly weirded out by it.

I got four, feel weirdly about that.

Yeah, that flood warning really messed you up. I was freaked out when you responded to me earlier than 8 am, so you were up before 7 am your time. Might be a new record.

Yeah, was up before 6am central!

Dear lord! That's absurd.

I am celebrating Man Day with a ton of my friends this weekend and will be thoroughly drunk. Can't wait.

Isn't Man Day the saturday of the draft?

Not a football guy, no idea. This is a yearly thing we do though. over a hundred people I know all over the country head to my friend Adam's house

Allegedly (and this is not something that I was aware of until just now when I googled man day upon your post) Man Day is: "A day held on the Saturday of the NFL draft. The day typically consists of drinking a large amount, eating greasy food and placing illegal bets. Competitions, such as horseshoes, video games and beer pong are held on the day. Participants then watch the NFL draft at a local watering hole. Participants are obligated to leave wives and girlfriends at home. It's basically a bachelor party except there's no real reason for holding it. On a typical Man-day 30% of the men puke and .005% die from drinking too much."

While the other 99.995% are mocked for being wusses.

By the .005% that are dead....

Just finished watching my buffalo bills week 2 preseason game, what an embarrassment -_-. Yes I watch football, I know that's an oddity here. But it gives me an excuse to drink which is really what it's all about.

Go sportsball.

I can't claim complete not-caring of sports, my sister does work for an NFL franchise after all.

I have no shame, I've been a bills fan since I was born.

Sorry, that's nearly so bad as us in Browns Town.

Well my mom is from Akron, so I can relate on that side of things too....

@dbeato said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

I needs more coffee, brb.

I'd gladly take a short nap in trade for coffee....

Man - people are keeping the ticket counter rolling here... sheesh... It's Friday.. a day to slow down... not pack in on...

lol even more so it's Friday at lunch time almost. I'm with you though, we're busier here at work than normal on a Friday.

@quixoticjustin said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

It is Friday, so that means loads of Sodium news and releases today. Getting set up for that this afternoon. We do about half of our weekly releases on Fridays, so lots to keep us busy.

Yep. Already doing my best to make sure everyone knows I will be unreachable all night tonight.

Wow look at what I have missed in the last few minutes. You people shouldn't be left alone

Especially not on a Friday.

Exactly. Most of us are going to take any excuse we can get to not actually do work.

My code never does / did..... which is why I don't code. Wished I could... I have so many project notes just sitting.... Ah well. can't do it all...

Code and I have an interesting relationship.

Code doesn't work: why didn't my code work?
Code works: Why did my code work? What am I missing...

We wonder the same things.

lol about my code?

Might as well bring some beer, a tent, and a portable stove.

Wait... maybe some soda might be better, ha ha.

lol then again the tellers might be so depressed I might be able to bribe them with the beer.

Lol I have my station on pandora set to Metallica. Song that just came up? All-stars by smash mouth. Someone explain how that happened? I'll admit, I haven't hit skip yet.

You know this forum is public, right? Unless you have a whole set of Weird Al style parody lyrics that you're singing along with it, you have no excuse for not skipping and thumbs-downing that song!!!

I blame the eclipse.

I blame the eclipse as well. Has my brain all befuddled.

Here's a cold compress, apply directly to the forehead. Drink this whiskey

and rinse your brain thoroughly with some Rancid...

I'm already starting to feel much better, thank you.

Trying to do 3 DR's at once.

1 - Client that I told many times to buy a UPS for their server that has frequent power outages. They had good intentions but never got around to doing it. (They have one now!)
2 - New client that thought they could do it on their own that shared out every drive on the server, every drive on each workstation and got hit by a crypto virus that encrypted virtually every file on every computer (inc Server) that they own
3 - Client that 'moved' his server all by himself (without turning anything off first) - Still trying to figure out this one.

Oh, and keep up with my normal customer calls/tickets.

Wow, just wow. Honestly #2 had me literally laughing (sry you are dealing with all of this).

Yeah, I had to be nice and tell him that doing that is 'generally not best practice'. Didn't want to add insult to injury. I think he got the point.

Sucks right now, but if everyone knew how to do I.T. I'd have to find a different job!

LOL you are a better person than I am. And you are right, that is job security for you :).

Lol yeah, can you blame me? Does anyone want to go to the dmv?

I am pleased to say I got to skip the lines last month and renew mine online.

Yeah, I did to start with but then came to realize that the online form never asked if I had moved so I had to go in and fix the address that it was being sent to...
