Yes, it was a three day weekend, but it was no rest for the wicked. I worked a lot of hours this weekend. I built two computer systems and repaired two systems.  I also spent a lot of time cleaning up the mail server for work and troubleshooting the issues that I have had with it since Thursday.  I didn’t get out of work until six o’clock because I had to work on a project with the owner and their assistant. I put in a lot more hours since the promotion, and there is a lot more issues to deal with. More money always means much more responsibility.

Hopefully when I get into the office tomorrow, it will be a slow start morning. I hate to walk into my office and have the phone ringing right away with a problem that I have to take care of before unpacking my bag and having the opportunity to get plugged in with all of my equipment. I don’t know where the days go lately.

I made the time to slip away from the computer for a few hours today and went to the pool with my daughter and husband. It was nice to feel the sun and float in the pool. I was able to unplug my head and hands from the computer stuff for a few hours at least.  I built my daughter a new computer for school. She will be going into high school in a few months, I can’t believe it.

Yesterday, I did a computer install and stopped by our lot. Again there were new things done. Every time I go out there, some sort of work has been done. I wasn’t in a rush to get somewhere, so I spent some time picking up the garbage from the workers. I hate to see garbage laying around on my investment. I try to pick up once in a while to avoid the trash later being buried under the new lawn and discovering it when we go to plant a tree or something down the road. Here I worked so hard to get to this point in life, to buy our first home, and others have such lack of respect, it is disheartening.
