It’s been a good week.

Monday I started the new job, and I’ve quickly (even more quickly than I anticipated) adjusted to the different pace of working for a small company.  I like it.

Yesterday I got to help fix a display issue with the new version of our software, and today I got to help our support team with an issue surrounding a customer’s firewall (ISA Server, of all things).  While I don’t want to do development full time, and I don’t want to solve trouble ticket problems all day either, the chance to spread out a little with what I do on a day-to-day basis is a nice change.

I’ve been setting up servers, planning our (nice) new rack layout, configuring stuff, and pretty much having a blast (as much as is allowed while working).  I figured out Microsoft’s DFS today, and even though I’m not the biggest fan of Microsoft, I’ve got to say that DFS is pretty sweet.  Tomorrow is some group policy, a little documentation, and then maybe on to the most awesome PBX software ever.

Tonight was “The Office” on TV again, and I am finding myself amazed every week at how great that show is.  It’s consistently good, too…not just “once in a while good” like so many shows.  I’m also amazed at how Steve Carell is showing me he’s more than just a funny guy…he’s a great actor.  I can’t wait until next Thursday.  Having “The Office” on at 8:30 on Thursdays is literally like starting Friday 4 hours early.

I’ll try to get back to some more regular posting in the next few days.  I’ve got a few posts brewing…maybe I’ll finish them up over the weekend so we can get back to more Ron on a more regular basis.
