its monday and yet i can't wait for the weekend. i really really can't wait - yupe, i'm gonna whine here.
friday was crazy in the office. with the server movement, phase 1 movement, all seemed to be haywired. engineer came early to dismantle one unix server & they insisted on not dismounting the other one which were going to be moved to the new location. IT snapped at me as they couldn't dismount their server 'cos our engineer was blocking the way. i knew they were under lots of stress so i just kept silence and only commented on it afterwards. after engineer was done, mover was not there and IT was not sure what time they're ready to call the mover. so we asked the engineer to walked around as per IT's advised. i then helped IT 'cos i knew they're out of people and at the same time protested on being snapped at, hehe. once everything was done and we called the mover, i called the engineer but it took them ages to reach. IT couldn't wait any longer so they went to the new location. just as the engineer arrived i got a called that the building has stopped any movement due to lunch time, we could only start at 2. sigh .. i told the engineers and i knew they were a bit unhappy. 2 pm, movers were not anywhere to be seen. i kept on calling until they reached at 2.30. another problem, they couldn't carry the rack 'cos the servers were still inside. engineers didn't want to dismount it and movers didn't want to carry it if it's not dismounted. arrrgghh, it's so difficult to be the middle person. after much persuasion to no avail i called boss and let her settle. at the same time i called the engineers' office and complained about them. i mean 1.5K just to supervised the movement? come on!! finally they agreed on dismounting the server BUT not the UPS. mover still didn't want to move it and they ended up dismounting the UPS. the problem didn't stop there. in the new office everything was up except for the rack. security didn't approve carrying the rack up and movers had to queue for the cargo lift which was serving all 50 floors. engineers already showed their unhappinness and i couldn't do anything. they gave up and went home by 6 pm to continue the work on monday. just as they went home, the rack came! called them to come back but they rejected - i wonder who's paying who actually. so tired that i went home after all were settle hoping to get a good night sleep. i was floating all along due to lack of sleep the night before. so much for hope, 12.30 am IT called asking about one of our server. my mind was blank and i couldn't think straight, i guess i was babbling until i gave them the correct information.
saturday i woke up early as i promised a friend to make her strawberry pudding for her rented-house warming. though i was feeling a bit dizzy i forced myself to get up, do some shopping, make the pudding & vla before going to IKEA. yeah, new office makes me want to re-decorate my new workspace. went for 2 movies at night and slept at 4ish am - another long night.
went to my friends place on sunday, bukit batok .. sooo far that i took a cab to and fro as i didn't have much energy left. i even left early so that i could go home and have a rest. wrong choice! i ended up falling asleep for an hour - means i couldn't sleep early that night. never mind, a match to watch anyway. yeah, the football match was good and i ended up sleeping around 2ish am.
back to work on monday - havoc!! they changed the ip address of one of our server and i couldn't connect to the US server! rats!! i gotta generate a new set of public key and it will take days for US to action on it - i've imagine all the stuff we gotta catch up with once it's authenticated. engineer came and they couldn't finish due to some stuff being blocked by the consultant. definitely annoying that i just went to my boss and let her talked to the upper management to get all settled. i don't know what else is coming next, hardly had breakfast and now i just realised it's 3 and i haven't had lunch. no mood to eat anyway. the only thing i can think about now is 5 more days to weekend...
