Normal operations resume on Friday December 22, 2006.

Addressed the bulk of the fallout from the server crisis at work. Pretty much the worst thing that could happen from a tech standpoint, did.

And the world kept turning. More importantly, I don’t have to shop my resume.

Now if I could find time for more travel. Perhaps a nice place where wild monkeys rule the streets.

Today I learned that when things break, the situation usually looks better the morning after. Or maybe five or six mornings, that is. A few issues persist with the imploded server at work. But I’m close. So close…

Five months ago, the Wife and I decided to move our Roth IRAs from one bank to another. When dealing with large corporations and money, a certain amount of red-tape I expect. I did not, however, anticipate a certain institution–rhymes with Bunk of America–would be such a…ah, never mind. Slurs betrays my bad breeding.

The long and short of it, we had to cash out the Roth, and have a check cut, deposit the check, then have a bank check drawn up for the new place.

Wow. Just writing all that makes me tired.
