Damn I'm sleepy!

05/18/04 @ 1:16 pm · By Steve Hoffman · Comments (0) · Leave one
    I don't know what is wrong with me, but I can barely keep my eyes open this morning.  I think I got plenty of sleep, I didn't stay up too late (about 30 minutes more then normal), but I feel like I haven't slept in weeks.  Maybe a cold bottle of water will cure that...I suppose only time will tell. 
    We did have quite the evening last night!  Joni suckered me into going to Old Navy with her (I hate that store) where she bought a few tank tops (which she swears are for our vacation).  Then headed over to JC Penny's and found a *great* deal on Luggage; we got a 4 piece set of Pierre Cardin suitcases for $150, normally over $300.  It met all our criteria and looks good too so I had to give in.  Finally we went over to S&K Menswear so I could get a new tie, and those of you who saw it in the store that day know how nice it is...  We finished off the evening with a trip to Bluz for lunch were we enjoyed the best wings in the triangle!
    I was supposed to go to Wal-Mart for groceries, but I just didn't feel like going back out after we got home so that never materialized, but I'll have to go today, since we are out of left overs and I'll need something for lunch tomorrow.  I've received several emails asking how the diet was coming (and scolding me for not keeping everyone informed on this site).  It's actually coming quite well.  I'm down to around the 290's now and while I still don't notice it, most of the family pointed out the weight loss this past weekend.  I've been keeping up with the running at least three times a week, but usually four and can cover the two miles in about 20 minutes now (used to be around 30) which by governmental standards I'm in shape...or at least my legs and lungs are. 
    Well, I know you all can't tell because you're reading...but I've been away for about 30 minutes.  It would seem that one of our customers fucked up and won't admit it.  She claims here data "mysteriously" dissapeared from the database.  Sounds like an ID-10-T error (put them all together), but to make matters worse...our customer support person wants us to comb through our MASSIVE database to try to locate the missing data, THEN restore the missing data from Friday's backup.  For her sake, I pray that she didn't suggest this to the customer because she is suggesting that we sacrifice to people (Brett and myslef) to comb and restore line by line for what could easily take two days costing the company more then she pays for this project (would take months to recover that cost).  I'm all for serving the customer, but you fuck up and you get a great big "I'm sorry, but you fucked up!".  We're going to have another meeting in about 30 min to discuss the possibilities.  UGH!  Stay tuned!
