I was chided

I was chided by one of my faithful readers last night for not maintaining my blog. I can't help it. I rolled out a new piece of software at work, a web-based Time and Leave System. Needless to say, rolling out any piece of software is rife with quick fixes and missed functionality. I have been coding like crazy trying to keep up.

At the same time, our new batch of PCs came in so half of my staff is involved in rolling those out to the users.

At the same time, we implemented a new Help Desk management system that we purchased and have changed our entire help desk process from a very informal process to a more formal one. This has led to much consternation amongst the users.

Meanwhile, on the consulting side of my work life, we rolled-out a new website last week as well. While the bugs there have not been nearly as overbearing as the ones at my main job, there has still been some work to be done.

Finally, work-wise, school starts in two-weeks and I have been trying to get the school network and school PCs prepped for the new year.

Add on top of that the fact that Noah is experiencing colic, thrush, and acid reflux and cries an awful lot. My wife called me several times last week in tears because of the constant screaming and I left work on two occasions to go home and take care of things there. Noah still gets up in the middle of the night and I have the early shift there (before 3 AM).

So, I am busy and tired and busy and tired. The blog maintenance is on the very bottom of the list right now.
