Server and database migrations this weekend. So I don't really get a weekend this week but at least I get a 4 day weekend next weekend from comp time

Have you tested your premigration backups yet?

That isn't my department. The DBAs have been planning on this migration for a few months now. I will be doing post migration validation and troubleshooting. Since this is a large company and huge migration we have about 200 people on call for this migration.

Ouch, good luck with that, must be quite tiring to have a full 7-days week

eh not really. work from home most days, so it isn't like I am stuck in an office. When I was stuck in an office 5 days a week, a 7-10 day shift really sucked. At least now I can get up an do stuff around the house while we have down time. Since I am not needed for all of the deployment I am able to get out of the house just need to be able to get home within 20 min. So that makes this extremely bearable.

On my side, mostly relaxing. The new TMNT movies seems nice though, I might give it a try.

If you do, please report back and let us know what you thought! My favourite will always be the original cartoon from the late 80s-early 90s

Hoping to get out for a motorcycle ride with my boyfriend. We may go see Oppenheimer if it rains though.

I should really do chores around the house but we'll see eif that happens...

DnD with the friends and taking the tot back to school shopping.

It's been a long week, I'm going to get some pork loins, potatoes, onions, peppers and abuse the hell out of my smoker after work

I've got a brisket in the sous vide for two days that I'm going to smoke a few hours before dinner!

No big plans here! Prolly just more Hi-Fi Rush, chores, might grab a brew with a friend.

After work I think I'll order some food, maybe pizza and wings, and then hopefully get a round of Mario party in with some friends. I also need to catch up with the most recent episodes of Foundation.

I'm off work this week and it's so nice. We took a short trip to see giant sequoias at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National park, (a little bit of) Yosemite and Mono lake and we're going to Cirque du Soleil tomorrow.
