what a pain

and today started out with so much promise. tonight was the monthly maintenance night, so i started my day doing a few things that i wanted to get done.

• listened to OnA
  
• read a good chunk of V for Vendetta
  
• got an oil change and replaced my serpentine belt
  
• saw cloverfield
  
• read more of V for Vendetta

so by the time i headed into work, i was feeling pretty good about the day.

once in, things went along as expected until i went to patch one of our Win2000 servers. it pretty much shit the bed. and the ONLY saving grace was this happened at the start of the evening, rather than, like, now.

so, the entire evening was spent dealing with this single server (a rather important production server) while i tried to get the other servers patched. i managed to get most of them done. a few updates i wanted to do i couldn't because i ran out of time, so they'll wait until next months update.

so now it's time for bed. i'm tired and somewhat frustrated, but at least i'm not as frustrated as i could (or in the past would) be so i should be able to get some sleep.
