What I did today (a typical day)

Fed 5 horses hay and grain

Cleaned 2 stalls and raked barn aisle

Moved 3 bales of hay from hay barn to main barn

Put Gina and Bob in outside pen

Filled downstairs dog bowls with food and water

Gave cats food upstairs and downstairs

Bench pressed 2 sets, 1 set of curls
50 situps

Put water in Odessa's beet pulp for PM feeding

Filled Congos water
Mixed yogurt and Shen Calmer for Congo and fed him
Told him he is a good boy

Inhaled breakfast while trying to deflect the cat's paw from dipping into my cereal bowl.

Took shower
Shaved legs
Put antifrizz stuff on hair and attempted to make it look not frizzy
Makeup
Get dressed-I actually match today

Pull running clothes out of dryer and put clothes/shoes in gym bag

Poor coffee into travel mug

Pack myself and my crap out to the truck

Forget coffee and go back to retrieve it

Check email while driving 45 minutes into work-terrible I know. I have to stop this.

Get a call that a server is down

Get to work and zoom into server room to see what's up-reboot server with hopes it reboots

Not liking error messages I am seeing after reboot

Backup software is not happy and won't restart-need to fix this ASAP

Check other servers and see issues related to today's server stall that started to appear after Sunday's AC outage and subsequent mass server shutdown. Stressing

Spec'ed and ordered new power workstation after researching hardware requirements

Try to fix an application on RDP server...got side tracked and had to cancel working on it

Sent out 60 emails through out the day responding to various questions and requests

Printed out invoices and processed 15 POs that are due and turned into accounting

Filled out Expense report and turned into accounting

Organized and attended a 1 hour class on how to use the office phones and voicemail

Replaced a users broken phone

Freaking out that I haven't had a chance to fix or even look at the server issues

4:30-had plans to go run, take a shower at the YMCA and come back to work to look at servers but instead get a call that a remote office has lost power.

Waited until office is back online and start checking remote office servers.  1 server is back online, 1 must still be powered down (everyone that could turn it back on decided to leave, argh) and the third has a crappy piece of software on it that everyone uses heavily and now isn't working right.
Tried a few things to no avail and called crappy software tech support

Called house sitter to setup visit to the house before vacation next week

7:00pm EST, waiting on crappy software tech support to call

After venting through the blog, I am going to look at servers and try to fix RDP server application
