Yesterday turned out to be a very long and rough day. Especially the morning part. I went to start my class with the UK only to find that all of the files I needed and had used for the original class were gone. The development team didn't realize there was still more training and they wiped everything out. I had to ad-lib for 3 hours with a group of people who were already wanting to go home given the time difference. It was a rough spot. I finished up around 9am and the end consensus was that I now need to update my class to use the new data files and redo the session on Monday. Lovely. I have today and tomorrow to do all this. Okay sure.

After dealing with all that I did my second session but not until after I went to Best Buy. I got approval to build a dedicated training station. I added a second mac mini to the house. I now have a workstation with the bare minimum applications on it for work. It will now sit and do nothing but be for work related things. This frees up the laptop for travel only and no more having to plug or unplug things all the time. It also means when users log in for a public class they won't see any personal stuff on there. Just a clean basic system. I spent a little while setting it up before getting on my next call.

The second session went very well. It was with my folks in Anaheim and I solved a huge issue that's been plaguing us for a while. The numbers finally tie out! This is what we have been working on for months. Took us about 3 hours but we got it done!

That gave me a small window to prep for my final session. I cooked enchiladas and left them wrapped up to eat later. That didn't work out well. I ended up eating part of it and leaving the plate on my desk. Guess who ate the rest while my head was turned? Stupid cat. I finished my last class at 8:40pm. From 4am - 8:40pm I worked yesterday. Damn.

I watched a little TV and went of to bed around 10:30. Rough sleep again. Woke up at 1:05am due to the sound of rain, people, and cats. Tossed and turned until alarm went off at 4, said fuck it, and fell back to sleep until 5:20.

Have a doctor's appointment this morning, then work on the above mentioned class, then the final night session. Another long day ahead of me.
