I went to bed somewhere between 11 and midnight last night. Tossed and turned, but finally dozed off.
Somewhere around 1 or 1:30 AM I get paged.
"Main Server Room Temp High"
"Main Server Room Temp Normal"
"Main Server Room Temp High"
"Main Server Room Temp Normal"
I get up connect to work and watch the temp for a bit and is seems to be stable.
Our 19 year old dog who is almost totally blind and deaf is whimpering. I let her out an guide her around 3 times.
I check the server temps again, looks good.
Back to bed.
Shortly I hear the dog whimpering again and wandering around bumping into things, then she barks.
I get back up and walk her around outside some more. Making sure she gets some water.
Back to bed.
Again the dog starts whimpering, then really barking (well as much as she can). My wife gets up and takes her out again.
I doze off. I have no idea what time that was.
About 4 or 4:30 I get paged:
"Main Server Room Temp High"
"Main Server Room Temp High"
"Main Server Room Temp High"
I get up connect to work and as I do I get paged:
"Main Server Room Temp Normal"
Sure enough I connect to work and its back down to normal.
I watch it for about 15 mins. Then it goes high again.
I decide I better go to work and see what is up.
I pick my clothes from yesterday off the floor put them on and tell my wife I am going to work.
She says "Better make some coffee before you go your too tired."
I say "No I will be okay and make some when I get to work."
Mistake! I was really tired my head was buzzing. I get in the car and as I backed out of the driveway I hear crunch.
I cut the corner that I have been doing every day for years too tight and the bumper hits a big rock at the end of the driveway.
I though I just scraped it a bit, but decide to get out and take a look.
I had ripped the plastic bumper cover half way off the car. The bumper cover is sticking out about a foot on the passenger side.
A big pretty thick plastic brace of some kind is snapped off and laying at the end of the driveway.
I can't really see as its pretty dark so I put the broken piece in the car and try to push the bumper cover back on.
I got it about half way on and decide to drive it anyway instead of taking my wife's van.
All the way up 495 I am hearing it and waiting for it to fly off. Fortunately it doesn't.
I get to work. Make some coffee and move the emergency portable A/C unit into the server room.
The temperature stabilizes and actually drops about 5 degrees.
I think the whole thing may have started because it got a little chilly last night and the heat in adjoining rooms came on not really sure, but the main A/C unit seems to be working, but can't keep up. Maybe the last server I had to put in there for Jimbo pushed it over the edge.
By then its light out and I went out to look at my car. Its not as bad as I thought, but still ugly.
I managed to get the bumper cover back in place and I think it will stay there. I can see that at least 6 plastic rivet thingies are gone and have know idea where the big piece that broke off goes yet. Right now I don't care.
I feel like a homeless person, wrinkled clothes, nasty stubble, greasy hair sticking up, bags under my eyes and a nasty paste stuff in my mouth.
I am going home now that I have overdosed on coffee. The worst part is today is donut day, I am gonna go home and will miss it
I really hope I don't have to come back today though doughnuts or not
Why am I typing this instead of being on my way home? I just don't know Misery loves company I guess
BAD DAY
