I am alive, barely.

Ok, this cold has been kicking my ass all over town. That coupled with major work and nighttime downtimes, even when I took time off work, I ended up working from home a good portion of the time. I haven't even been keeping up with my favorite blog reading! Yah, it's been that bad.

But I'm finally on the return path of being better. Hopefully by this weekend I'll be able to start going to the gym again. I haven't worked out for almost 2 weeks now. I'm going to be so sore when I do get back to the gym.

Did I mention how much I hate the new Daylight Savings Time that went into effect this year? Argh, I hate you bush, for signing that. That was the majority of my work the last couple of weeks, was DST patching, planning, testing, researching, and then dealing with the fallout of stuff not working correctly after patching. Hopefully by tomorrow night, the last patch will be in place and I can finally take it off my plate, while a SOX (Sarbanes Oxley) critical and sensitive application gets upgraded. That means tons of paperwork and procedures which slows down my work. I also have to make absolutely sure I cross my t's and dot my i's and hope the sox rules don't change after I finish it.
