The Challenge

Rambles and Riff Raff about all this and that

Back at the office

The day started quite unpromising. It rained cats and dogs, electrical storm included. Getting out of bed was a challenge. Being of the naturally of the “night type” I’ll have a rough type trying to explain to my biological clock that it’s time to try to get to sleep earlier and wake up earlier.

Had a quick breakfast and headed towards the train station to catch my transportation. I waited for an hour until it finally arrived (train frequency should normally be around 1 every 10 minutes). After the usual train + bus commute finally got to the office.

I set my things up plug the PC in only to find out the DHCP didn’t assign me an IP address; thus I start fiddling around with my connection settings to try and solve it. After about 1 very frustrating hour I go to the IT guy, expose my case, give him my PC, and after he finds out everything looked OK on the computer connection settings he realized the issue was on the infrastructure (as usual with IT guys he did not tell me what the issue actually was, I guess some blocking on my mac address).

Thus two hours later than expected I finally was able to try to do something productive out of the day. The amount of things accumulated during just two weeks was worst than I had expected; looks like my backups had some rough times with some stuff, thus it stayed as “pending” until my return. Too much pending equals a big headache and a couple of weeks of trying to get things seemingly organized.

Besides that it was great to see the guys and gals I work with again, getting up to date with news and things. Will try to set a faster pace on the next few days.
