I am, as they say, awake. What more anyone might want from me righ tnow I do not know, but they are not likely to get it.

I was up until around 3:47 last night- at least, that was the time on my cell phone when I last heard from the people who were dealing with our server closet's temperature, and shortly thereafter I received two emails on my BlackBerry re: "YAY TEMPERATURE YAY" but did not check the time on those. My boss emailed me this morning after reading over the logs of what I did last night and asked me if I was taking the day off, because I'd had a long sleepless night last night and should take the day off; alas, this message came in when I was getting off the PATH train to get into the office. I've brought our downed servers back up and pointed the replication software back at the places it's supposed to go. I've confirmed the presence of a network hub with spare ports at a location where we'll soon have to put temporary new people. I'm going to go remove one of our other servers from the old backup software so that that account can be retired. And then I think I shall ask for permission to go home at lunchtime, because I am terrified that if I ask to go home now, I'll get a phone call when I'm halfway to sleep and I will have to go all the way back into New York to commit my acts of bloody mayhem. And I just don't want to have to get the MetroCard out twice.

On other, less gory notes:

- Alchemy + Cybermen = teh win, at least if you are postulating a non-Mondas, non-Cybus Industries origin for the bastards
- if my computer is in fact an Autobot using the psiTunes phenomenon to attempt to communicate, then he is more than welcome to notify me about any desired name changes; for now he is just going to have to settle for "Aidan"
- I had more here but go back to the part about phone calls at 3:47 AM
- Phbleah. PHBLEAH, I say.

Steampunk Cybermen?

[camwyn]

I was thinking more Buffyverse with a few problems. but that works too.

Care to come over for dinner tonight?

[camwyn]

Sure. That sounds good. When?

[daniidebrabant.livejournal.com]

Whenever. If you want to meet in the city, pick up some take out and head home to watch movies... I've got Scotland, PA.

[camwyn]

That sounds good. Got a preference as to food genre, or shall we just put in for Outback takeaway and pick it up at the usual place?

[daniidebrabant.livejournal.com]

That works.

Splendid. We can order online; I felt compelled to register to do so as soon as I saw 'Make and color of vehicle' as one of the fields one had to enter. ("Dynamic Bicycles. Dark blue.") What time do you get out?

Oh...Oi. I sincerely hope that by the time you get this comment you are home and crawling out of bed after a nap.

It'd be nice, but I seem to need to stay at the office until later in the afternoon after all. There's a server that needs adjusting after a very long report finishes running and guess whose job that is?

Possibly I will ask for Monday off or something, I don't know.
