Long Holiday Weekends and the Fallout that Ensues

Posted by: Aaron Brazell

It was nice to chill over the weekend. Long holiday weekend. The first of the summer. It’s so nice to be able to relax a little bit. I didn’t blog much over the weekend though. There was other stuff to do.

I always hate coming back to work after those long weekends, though. Everything seems to hit the fan all at once:

  1. The network at work is so extremely slow through the entire region. Obviously, I can’t go into the specifics but needless to say it’s not good and it’s affecting everyone.
  2. Users hard drive crashed today. He is a project manager and has 6 PSTs (Outlook folkders) on his hard drive of over 600 MB each. Trying to get to the data but might have to call this a dead issue (no pun intended).
  3. Can’t login to the ProBlogger admin page as the proxy here seems to say we don’t want to let you in. No worries as I can manage from home later, but I’m trying to make final edits to a great new post that will be going live tomorrow morning.
  4. Trying to wrap up development work that relates to the next round of b5media pay for the end of the month. Most of these relate to the project I talked about last month: bug fixxes, enhancements, new functionality.

    Yes I agree with you, comig back to work after a long holiday is hard. I think it might be somehow related to the rapid change of enviroment that surprises the relaxed body in the middle of deep home meditation.
