I'm done with class. Took my final yesterday. Don't have a grade yet, but I think I did fairly well. I finally get my evenings back.

I went to install some HBAs in our Exchange server this evening. I disconnected all the cables from it, unscrewed the screws that secure it and stop it from sliding forward/backwards and tugged. It didn't move, at least not easily. The server above it was not on rails. It was literally sitting on top of it and it was our production database server. I could not shut it down, and I couldn't pull it out live. So I got creative: 

We had Eno's six month Neuro followup this week and got some great news. Dr. feels that Eno is recovering fast and better than he expected. They are rating him at roughly 75% recovered with a solid chance to getting to 100%. He gets to cut his thearpy back to once a week now instead of twice.

Things have been extremely busy these last several weeks. I have a final on Thursday and then I'm on summer vacation until mid September. I can't wait. My mother is coming into town in a couple of weeks and we are going to go see the new Cirque show.  (Corteo ).

I did a credit evaluation for my Northwestern program and found that I need to start taking at least two classes per semester to finish in four years. If I don't it will be more like 9 years!!!! So next Semester I'm going to take a Literature course and a Differential Calculus course. My life is over.

Work has been very crazy and fun. My status reports are like 6 pages long! Two people have left (For various reasons I cannot talk about) since I have started and have not been replaced. I am now basically doing anything and everything. We just purchased a new EMC SAN that I have been playing with. I'm still not sold on the idea of SANs. Expensive, and over-rated. especially EMC!

Eno is doing very well. He has a follow up nero appt. about his arm on Tuesday. (Keep your fingers crossed). Group administrators have finaly cut their first check to pay for his therapy. Yes, thats right, first! Since last October! I will not miss them!  The new company has Blue Cross Blue Shield. I feel he is doing extreemly wel though. 90% - 95% better.

Bye.
