Today has been relatively boring at work. There hasn’t been much of anything happening and I’ve been totally slacking off. I realized how much I’ve been slacking the other day and now I’m wanting to start getting busy again and trying harder.

One of the things I’ve been slacking on is this script that I wrote a few weeks ago to test services. I got to the point where it tested everything fine, just it wouldn’t quit if the service was not responding, I have a bunch of ideas of ways to fix the issue, but I haven’t had the motivation to get in there and test them.

I got distracted from that project when I had to upgrade a bunch of services and install a bunch of modules on our department’s server to get the monitoring software running properly.

One thing I do need to work on more is to start making sure that my primary responsibility is covered before I do these side jobs.

In other news, things are getting busy again.. Got my appointment with the oral surgeon on Wednesday, same day as departmental meeting, unfortunatly he’s not pulling the wisdom teeth on that day, he’s just going to examine them. I wish they would pull these things already, I am in various levels of pain and discomfort from these all the time. Some days the pain is slight and sometimes it’s crippling.

I’ve got to finish the drainage system I designed for the patio so that we can keep it a bit cleaner and maybe install a fountain on tuesday before neighbors come over for some grilled sausages.. I still need to figure out what side dish I’m going serve with them. I was thinking about potato gnocchi.
