Busy days

Yesterday was somewhat of a nightmare with printers gone beserk at work and students trying desperately to print their schedules and assignments and grad students on a different schedule needing to print online articles.

Gremlins came in the night when no one was looking and mixed up all the connections. So the Info Commons PCs SAID they were printing to Huan Yu, but really they were printing to Ischema - on a rather unpredictable basis. And the lab computers SAID they were printing to Liliana, but really they were printing to Elijah, but since the 2 printers sat next to each other, no one knew until one of the printers stopped and we thought it was the one that it wasn't.

Are you confused yet? So were we. Turns out we had the same IP address on more than one printer and the computer was firing at will. They had it all sorted out by this morning though, thank goodness!

Because there were a million other details to be handled. I came in with one task that I was determined to complete, and every time I began to work on it, I was called away for one reason or another. They were all important issues that needed to be addressed, but it was just non-stop.

Before I realized it, the day was gone (I had even forgotten to eat lunch) and I was late picking up the boys for the soccer pool. Wow! I may have discovered a whole new diet program. Its a good busy though, not a stressful one. The time sure flies by. And the boys didn't really seem to mind that they missed the uphill run part of practice.

Sometimes you hit a stride and luck out. Gotta run. I'm back at the library and its nearing midnight and closing. We get to do almost a real closing tonight. Locks are working, gates are closing, and I think we may pull it off.
