A long week…
Last week was just plain long. Spent most of last weekend driving to Oregon for my nieces birthday. I think we decided to not do that in three days again, just to much. But it means we got back and really didn’t get much down time. Although we did have fun in Oregon and Isaac was really great on the trip this time.
So Monday was day one of the big push for a project at work. There has been this thing we have been trying to figure / work on for the better part of eight months and last week it got launched. Really tough technical problem, our network operations people said it wouldn’t work, had to rope in lots of teams to support the solution, etc. And like the story of my life, the best I could hope for is that nobody would notice anything.
So all week was fighting battles and finally on Thursday the last marketplace was launched. (I own three sites; one for North America, one for the EU and one for the Far East.) There were some bumps, but it really went pretty well over all. I’m looking forward to getting to focus on something else for a while now.
This weekend so far has been pretty good, the weather decided to turn spring like again. We took Isaac to this little kid circus this morning, which he really enjoyed. We had lunch and then the whole family came home and took a nap. When we got up, I went to mow the lawn while Rosie and Isaac played in the drive way.
Now that the lawn is mowed again, I’m going to try and get the new toilet installed tonight. I managed to slip, fall and kill the toilet in our bathroom a couple weeks ago. I tried to just buy a new tank, but that proved impossible. Luckily one of the new water efficient models came on sale last week and I got one for just about the same price as the tank I bought that didn’t fit. Hopefully the install will be smooth and not to frustrating. Oddly enough I noticed that the new toilet included all the stuff you need to install it. Which is sort of weird….
