    Yet Another Fedex Update

    Well I called Fedex three times today... once to see if was anything more about the package that was supposed to be here yesterday... and the first time, the lady said there was no attempt to deliver it... isn't that encouraging... The second time I called was to see what time they deliver until, and that is 8:30 for residential deliveries, 5:30 for businesses. So the third time I called (after 8:30) to register a complaint and the lady said that she will make sure that the fedex facility is aware of the issue and that there should be an attempt to deliver it on Monday.... we'll see if that happens.

    work and such

    Well... I left work at 10:00pm after an upgrade we did that actually worked.... I had been at work since 11:00am... oh well I get paid for all of it... of course now I'm tired... but I'm off until 12/28... I have vacation time that I have to take...


    On a sad note though, Actor John Spencer of West Wing died today of a Heart Attack... he was only 58.. he would have been 59 on Tuesday... I'm not sure how his character will be taken off of the show... he was a good actor, and played the role of Leo McGarry like nobody else could...

    Dec 16, 2005 1:50 AM
    On FedEx vehicle for delivery
    CAROL STREAM, IL


    On a side note If this does not get delievered I will never use fedex again... this is completely unacceptable with no reasons as to why it was not delivered yesterday.

    CCNA Final

    Well I took my CCNA Final and got an 89.4%... that's better than I thought I'd do, since all of my practice tests I didn't get anything above an 80%... oh well, that's over. I also took a quiz in class and got 24/25... it's all bonus points... so that just adds to my grade... which should be an A for the class.

    Things That Bug Me

    well... one major thing that irks me is when people ask for my advice on stuff, and then just all of a sudden, decide that they don't want my advice because it's not what they wanted to hear... if you don't really want my advice, don't ask for it... oh well... of course there is nothing I can do about it...

    Cisco Router

For a while I've been wonder how the maximum could be 384MB of RAM, but now I Know that there is 128MB built in, and you can add an additional 256MB if you'd like... welll I had a single 128MB SODIMM chip laying around so I put that in there... so now it has 256MB of RAM

    Shitty Weather

    WEll, it's a good thing I started at 12:30 today, I got here before the snow started... it'll probably take me a good half hour to get home, if not longer.


    Here's what I encounted while I was out getting my lunch:



    I was walking outside, and just as I walked outside, I heard this loud thump, and I saw a fire truck slow down at the corner of Rt 25 and Benton. so then when I came back there were more flashing lights, I think the ambulance was there.


    Also as I was walking back somebody turned into the parking lot, and the back end of their suv swung around... people don't know how to drive when it snows out.
