Gee, I don't really know why I posted that personality test results...it makes me sound like a real stick in the mud. A worrywart who isn't much fun and is aloof. Ah well, it's more true than not. I am insecure, neat and organized and reliable and very much an introvert.
I didn't get a lot accomplished today between spending better than 3 hours helping on a printer issue in the ER and partying with the birthday girls. Yep, it was a Monday all right. 3 hours of wrestling with network printers. All the while with another one of my asst. directors standing over me watching. Gotta love it. Actually, I didn't mind the watcher so much, at least I was kept entertained while I worked. And I didn't do all the work, V and I were sharing a brain today so one of us would sit and work while the other one offered suggestions. Then we would swap. She pulled a me with a printer last night. Poor thing was called in at 10 p.m. last night on this same issue and as she was swapping a network printer around, she dropped it. She didn't fall on it like I did mine, but hers was an $800 piece of equipment...mine was less than $400 and probably still works. I don't know for sure because I still haven't tested it.
But the boss lady loved her decorations. At least she was too stunned to kill us today. And the other lady who shares her birthday and whose cube we decorated loved the attention it got her. That's alllll I'm gonna say about her. I took lots of pics so I'll post some on my fotopages later.
She also loved the scrapbook that we did. I was a little hurt, there were no pics of me. Course, I can't really complain too much. I go to great lengths to avoid having my picture taken. See, I think I'm cute, but my pics always mysteriously turn out awful. So either I'm just too marvelous to be captured by mere film and pixels, or I'm not really that cute. Things to make you go hmmm. Actually, the scrapbook wasn't done yet and Queenie is going to put a pic or two of me in it. If I can't find a better one she'll use the one she took today. I'm going to try really hard to find a better one though, I look like an escapee from a luau with my wildly flowered shirt.
My brain is a bit fried so that's it. More later. You poor devils you.

Ack! I guess I'm not the printer fairy after all...the problem with the ER printer? Was so simple. I knew the answer. I just forgot that I knew it. I'm embarassed that I didn't catch it myself and it took the vendor to point it out. I'm certainly not going to own up to what it was to my asst. director who's printer it was. He can beg, plead, demand, threaten with tickling, bribe with caffiene. I'll stand firm. Well, ok. The caffiene would probably work. But since he'll never know that, my secret is safe.
I'm not feeling very techie after that and the whirlwind that was this afternoon. So I'm going to watch Nip/Tuck.

Did anybody miss me? No? *shrug* Good, that just means I don't have to explain myself.
We updated our HIS on Wednesday and it went surprisingly well. Until yesterday just before lunch time. Then we started having COBOL errors reported when users tried to do, well, pretty much anything. Not fun. I finally did something I've threatened to do before and it worked out really well. So I'll probably do it again. I set the Help Desk voice mail to play the alternate message and said on it that we were experiencing system problems and if you were having some other problem to leave a message. Then I forwarded the phone to go straight to voice mail. It was bliss.
Gads it's been a couple of weeks. Busy, don't have time to breathe weeks. If I ever get a chance to sit down and think for more than 5 minutes I'm sure I could come up with some funny stories. But I've worked late and/or come in early every day. And when I get home I'm so brain dead I barely turn on the computer to do more than check email and read the handful of comics I follow. I haven't even been reading the blogs I usually follow. So I have plenty to do this weekend and looks like I'll have the time to do it. Not on call, gamegod will be out of the house all day Saturday. No other obligations or plans. Sounds like heaven right about now.
