it has been unbearably hot here the past few days. normally i would gladly welcome it and go off for a swim, but instead of being sunny and hot, it has been rainy and hot.
mother earth is rude. i feel very unproductive on days like these. instead of going out with friends and having fun, i’ve been cooped up in the house playing video games. i suppose i could at least be doing some design/css/coding work on some of my projects.
bri came up a few nights ago before her uni orientation day. that was nice. she even left us her wii to use until this fall when she moves up near the uni. now i can finally work on my tennis skills. she accidentally also left her pillow here. it’s a really nice tempur-pedic one, and i’ve been enjoying using it.
yesterday, the IT guys here at work decided to play a little trick on me. i’ve been working pretty hard on a Symantec AV Corp to Endpoint migration, and they thought it would be hilarious to add and remove some of my hostfile entries without me knowing. i even checked my hostfile, only to see that they had set it back to default moments before i looked. I was even eventually pushed into calling Symantec support.
this went on for about an hour until one of the guys finally felt bad. he told me, i told the symantec guy, and now they’re ‘archiving’ my case. great.
they definitely got me. in actuality, i’m impressed. it was a good one. nicely done.
