Mixed up PCs

For as long as I’ve been with this company they have been using only Dell computers and servers.  Recently though our parent company has decided that all companies under it’s umbrella must start purchasing and using HP computers and servers.  I don’t mind HP at all but this shift in hardware was not thought out [...]

Hong Kong: Closed

A severe tropical storm passed through Hong Kong this morning and the goverment instated the highest weather warning of Typhoon Signal 8 at around 10:30pm last night.  Because of that, our office along with pretty much everything else in Hong Kong, was shut down until the warning signal was lowered to a 3.  It makes [...]

Garsh Dangit

Garsh Dangit: Space Ranger.  Hehe.  Sounds funny.
It seems that I never got around to making a post yesterday.  Which is pretty damn lame if you ask me.  Which you didn’t but if you had that would have been what I would have said.  I have a stash of jokes and pictures that can be used [...]

Beer

I think I feel like having a beer.  Maybe two or three.  I could probably go for a full on drunken stupor to be truthful, but a couple of beers would suffice.  It’s been a rough couple of weeks.  It’s friday evening and I’m leaving work and I still have a ton of stuff waiting [...]

Too busy

It’s been a long day and it’s almost time for nighty-night time.  I’ve been swamped at work for the past week and a half to two weeks and I just got off two calls to my management in St. Louis to make a very long day even longer.  I haven’t had time to post, to [...]

You need a what?

Our company’s CEO is in the office today and there are lunches and dinners planned to keep him amused and well fed.  However I must have missed an e-mail somewhere along the line.  The office manager bounded into my office asking for my baby picture.
You want what?  A baby picture of me?  Those are all [...]

Windows Server 2008 launch event

Today I didn’t go into the office.  Today I went to the Wan Chai Convention and Expo Centre to attend the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 launch event.   I’d like to say it was fun.  I’d like to, but I can’t.  Oddly enough, going to a product event here in Hong Kong is not much different [...]

Short week this week

It’s a short work week here at the office due to the Chinese Lunar New Year coming up.  Most Hong Kong companies give at least a few days off if not a full week for this traditional and important holiday.  All of our mainland China offices are closed for a full week.  Hong Kong’s not [...]

Entering time

Today is Monday, January 14th.  A day that will live in infamy.  The day that an entire IT department has to change the way it’s played the game for decades.
Today, we start doing time entry.
Yeah it’s going to be a pain in the ass accounting for our time every day.  A lot of people are [...]
