This has been kind of a blah week. My team lead was off Monday through Wednesday so I goofed off even more than usual. He was in Dallas on Thursday and Friday and we had a conference call on Thursday and one today with the Dallas folks to discuss the system moves to the new processor.
The mainframe team is split between Dallas and Atlanta. Three people are in Dallas and my team lead and I are in Atlanta. We also have one of the old Dallas folks, who moved to Alabama after she retired, as a contractor. She was in Dallas this week also. My team lead was visiting family in Houston, so he went up to Dallas for two days and took the team, plus the old network guy out to lunch.
Anyway, the conference calls were about the new processor. The IBM CE finished the install and I've put in a hardware configuration. I had one of our co-ops run the cables and I got an MVS system IPL'ed. I don't have any consoles or TSO terminals yet because I haven't done any IP work or configured the 2074 stuff.
GOC. WTF are you talking about?
Listen. If I can't dazzle y'all with my brilliance, I'll baffle you with my bullshit. I have to go to a meeting every Wednesday (I call it the Inquisition Meeting) where we talk about what went wrong last week and how we're gonna prevent problems next week. I could do an entire post just on this meeting. There was one young whippersnapper who claimed I was making things up when I said sumpin' like, "We ran out of SMS space so I had to add an SMS volume and update the ACS routines." or "That particular user did not have update authority for the opercmds profile in the facilities class". This is all real stuff.
I could have accomplished more this week, but as I said I have been in a strange mood all week. I guess my age is catching up with me.
I am looking forward to a nice three day weekend. Hopefully I won't have the excitement of last Memorial Day weekend when I caught a wine glass in midair only to have it break in my hand and nick an artery and sever some nerves. I wound up having to have surgery to reattach the nerves and I still haven't regained all my feeling in my ring finger and pinky.
That's all for tonight. Stay tuned for Saturday boobage and jokes.
See ya.

And my co-workers actually like me a lot. I get along with all the managers except one. I'm good at my job and get paid a lot. What do you do? Are you good at saying, "Do you want fries with that?"
Go troll another site or I will play whack a troll with you.
