Well after many years of loyal friendship, Buster let us know today that it was time for him to move on. Needless to say we are heartbroken and will miss him very much. We knew this was coming, but that doesn't seem to help very much, and it's always too soon.
As the kids are grown, and Gina and I are starting to be home less and less, I expect Buster will be the last dog I ever live with.
Goodbye, old man.
I just got my XMAS bonus. Sweet!! This will keep me treading water for another couple of weeks easy.
. . . have been saved and I am home, logged in remotely, and will hopefully be asleep sometime soon. I used my own desktop to rebuild the dead system from scratch and that, plus some application specific know how and help from Doug, got us up and running again.
Now, however, I'm facing a difficult situation here at home - of a very different nature; and then there's always the kitchen. No rest for the wicked, I suppose.
I curse Zoidburg! Just last night one of my good friends was telling me about a recent nightmare scenario where he was stuck at work for ungodly hours.
Today it's my turn.
One of our key systems is down and I am the guy who has to fix it.
I've already been here more than 12 hours.
