Best Laid Plans

Well ... hubby called tonight to say that he wasn't going to come home on the day planned. Things aren't going the way they are supposed to.



The computers that he is trying to set up are having a hard time accepting all the changes that need to be made to integrate the system from one state to the other. They are older computers and replacing them was just out of the budget, so he has to work with what he's got -- they aren't bad computers, its just that there is so much that needs to be done.

Seems like everytime they fix one problem another few will pop up ... usually memory stuff. he said one which should have taken maybe 2 hours to get done took over 10 hours to update.

Well, he knew that it might be a tough time getting it all done -- so he wasn't surprised by the problems ... he was shocked at how long it is taking.

he has been putting in 18 hour days trying to get it done -- he and his assistant from up here ... so that's 36 hours a day total .... just too bad hubby doesn't get overtime (he's salaried) but oh well that's life.

It does throw a monkey wrench into my exchanges though.

I am in both the Hogwarts Sock Swap and the ACX:Samhain exchange ... ACX is due to go out, well it was supposed to be tomorrow ... and the HSS4 was supposed to be in the mail by Thursday. Now it looks like the soonest either one can go out would be Saturday .... unless things change again.

I'm so not happy about it ... but what can one do? I will live with it .... know its not anyones fault ... and move on. I just feel bad for my partners who will now have to wait a bit longer for their packages.

Well I will take the time to do more for my partners, I guess. Might as well make a good thing out of a bad situation.
