Day Sixty One

So, I woke up a little late today and really couldn't sleep well last night. It was pretty much a bad night. My CPAP machine has been hurting my head. I need to get different head gear. It's starting to drive me nuts. I got to work around 7:30am and had to mess with the server first thing. The Exchange services went stale and the folder store dismounted from the system, so e-mail was down since 3am this morning. We exceeded our database size limit...great. We've officially outgrown the system. I made the necessary changes and we'll see if it dismounts tonight. I hope not! I worked all day to get a computer reformatted for Lisa and finished it around 3pm, so I took it over and set it up for her. She's happy! It's faster and cleaned out and we messed with the resolution on the monitor so it's easier for her to read. So, we're good there! And....drumroll please...our maintenance software that has been in service since 1994, BABY36 made by California Software, is being retired as of tomorrow. I, along with everyone else is ecstatic and we're welcoming EBis into our system. So, myself and 4 other maintenance technicians are working on manually moving all of our current customer info, work orders, parts and aircraft info over...MANUALLY. We have to manually type in all the new info because the DOS (Yes, I said DOS) program won't allow us to cut and paste, so it's total manual labor. We're about halfway done. Not bad for 20 man hours so far. We stayed until about 9:30pm or so and will be starting tomorrow morning at 8am and working until we're done. I also have to set one of the other girls up with dual monitors...that should be fun, cuz I don't have a video card that will work...at least I don't think I do...we'll see. I really wanted to have a beer tonight, but I can't find anyone that wants to go out and grab one with me. So, I'm off to bed. I hope you all have a good night. Night my friends...catch you on the flipside...
