Working 9-5

Much as I’d rather be at home reading, there is something quite enjoyable at being in at work when there’s nobody else around. I can play cds while I work, and there are no interruptions (except the ones I create myself).

I only wish I wasn’t working on the new server setup – one of the many excellent reasons servers are normally kept in a room by themselves is the noise from the fan. And these are NOISY. At least they are WAY too noisy to be sitting on the desk next to my workstation. They’ll be moved tomorrow, to somewhere out of the way, but while we’re in the setup process, having them immediately accessible is a good thing. Or would be, if it wasn’t for the noise.

Voice in my ear: The servers, humming along to Smokey Robinson and The Miracles singing The Tracks of my Tears
