Throw Caution to the Wind?

You hear all your life to be careful what you wish for - you just might get it. Well, today was a repeat of Monday, but with an extra half-day thrown in on top. I had a service call this morning at 9:30 in "the Park" (Research Triangle Park for those who don't live in these-here parts.) I got there early and found that they had nothing for me to do. Woohoo! I maybe get to go home and work on the 2 machines that I have from clients that need to be fixed. First, I have to call another client who wants me to fix her home PC to connect to her office and to get email remotely. I call her, but get her voicemail. In the meantime, the client that resulted in me travelling for 4 months this summer left me a voicemail and said they were having some problems. I stop by another customer site to drop off a cable they needed and find out they need me to help with a server. I ended up staying at that location all day, leaving at 5:30.

In the meantime, travel-causing customer calls a second time, get a call from a customer whose machine I worked on yesterday asking me to come back, still have to try to call the customer back about the home service...and then I get told by this customer that I am needed back at his office tomorrow at 9AM. My boss said that to send him out to the customer who wanted a re-visit would set a bad precendent, so I had to tell them that it would be emergency rates (1.5) if they wanted someone today since I was already booked and they didn't want my tech to come out there. Argh!

The good thing is that I got home in time to change clothes and now I'm headed to church for a special World AIDS Day service. I'm so proud of my church - they are not a gay denomination - or straight, for that matter. They don't care what or who you are - read the web site if you are interested in learning more. Well, off to church for now. Hugs to any who make it this far!
