I worked 15 hours and 45 minutes today. That’s almost two work days in one. My day was absolutely terrible. I’m tired. I’m irritable. I’m going to finish my beer and go to bed. So, in order to entertain you in my place, I give you a bunny with a pancake on its head. [...]

Oh, I’m glad you asked! First of all, you’ll be happy to know that I’m back to my normal (mostly) clean-shaven self. No-Shave November is officially over. No more scratching my neck or feeling the weird texture of my upper lip. Here are some pictures of the final results, just before I shaved everything off. [...]
No-Shave November

I logged into my work email and saw this email from my boss. From: The Boss Sent: Monday, October 31, 2011 3:01 PM To: Mike and Team Subject: Reminder No-shave November starts tomorrow. Come in clean and let it grow. I’m not making a big deal about it; just a thing for our group. I’ll [...]
A Taste of Revenge

My boss is a mischievous fellow. He’s always pulling random pranks… especially when we’re not around. If I we take a vacation, or are gone for any period of time, we can pretty much guarantee that we’ll find something “wrong” when we get back. For example, I found a half-eaten, moldy pizza in one of [...]
While sitting at my desk at work, trying to figure out why a client’s two networks can’t talk to one another, my thoughts are interrupted by tirade of profanity coming from over the cubicle wall. One might think that I would stop and investigate, or perhaps try to calm the person. This didn’t happen. Instead, [...]
I’m not going to lie. It’s been a shitty past couple of weeks. I’ve been working 75 to 85 hours a week, and to say I’m burned out would be an understatement. I scheduled a week of vacation this week, and it has made all the difference in the world. I’m on day two, and [...]
I had a “Mike moment” today at work. It was around 5:00 or so, and I was trying to finish up some things for the day so that I could go home (and work some more). I was logged into about six servers simultaneously, and was keying away furiously, trying to assign IPs to interfaces, [...]
I’ve been busy. I seem to be inheriting more and more projects at work as of late. More often than not over the past week or so, you would have found me on a conference call with various folks, hashing out the best way to do something. These calls, to me, are a never-ending source [...]
Still Crazy, But Back To Normal

I’ve been a married dude for nearly a month now. The honeymoon is over, the gifts are unwrapped, and things are finally starting to calm down a bit, right? *snort* I wish. My first week back at work was no tamer than the week I left. It’s been sheer chaos ever since I came back, [...]
The Final Countdown

You’ll notice that I’ve been conspicuously absent lately, both on here and on all of your blogs. That’s because Jules and I are getting married on Sunday, and this week has been a blur so far. I can’t believe tomorrow is already Thursday. Here is a quick rundown on what you’ve been missing. Work – [...]
