I get a text while I am on the interstate heading to work. Like a good driver should, I did not look at it until I was in the parking lot at work. The text said not to come in. If he would have sent it 10 minutes sooner... #shrugshoulders

You know most smartphones and new vehicles have this ability to connect to each other and read text messages aloud, enabling you to maintain hands free and still know what was in the text.

All I saw on my jog were a baby snake, assorted birds, a couple squirrels and a striped gopher.

So the dude who is leaving at the end of this month and who was the unofficial deputy here, threw me under the bus last week. During our Engineering meeting, I was asked if the spreadsheet containing all of the servers that needed to be upgraded off Server 2012 was across all 3 LAN's. I assumed it was as I asked that guy for all servers needing to be upgraded. Nope, it was only for one LAN and when I needed to send a report to the Government customer, it was incorrect.

Moron has since sent me the other two lists of servers that need to be upgraded, but i caused a huge delay in my report which caused the Government lead to ask my boss where it was this morning. I should have thrown him back under the bus, but I didn't.

They do things so difficult here. There's not one thing classified about the name of the server and yet they have to have three separate lists on 3 LANs.

You never know. One day it might be an important text like saying you don't need to come into work.
