Office Construction Underway & Wasting Time…

ByTim Nolte
Safco(R) Wire LAN Management System, 73H x 48W x 29DOk, so of course as soon as I get into work this morning, Monday, I get people telling me that can’t log into the network. Well, I knew there has been some power blips at my house over the weekend, and the servers we’re up and running, so I just power-cycled the two switches between the servers and the rest of the network. Everything came back online, yeah! I’m hoping this setup lasts us through the week. We got the rest of everything moved out of the server room so that the could begin the construction. By lunch they had the wall out and had started cutting the hole for the window. I’m thinking I should be in my new office by next week. This is going to be a first for me. I’ve never had my own office, other than at my house. I’ve always shared a space with someone or something. I guess technically I’m sharing my office with the servers, but it’s my job to take care of them so it’s really no big deal. The end of the day Lori and I talked about what to do for a rack for the computers. We did some looking and then she mentioned looking at OfficeMax. I braught out the catalog I got from the Co-Op and we looked through it. After pricing things out we decided to go with one that was designed for the intended use. After we logged onto the online catalog we were pleasantly surprised to find a huge discount, and that there would be no shipping & next-day service even. This was pretty amazing. This rach is going to be perfect, we even went with casters for it so it’ll be easy to move it out if I need to get to the backs of the machines.

It was mostly just a rather dull data-entry day. Todd wasn’t available for our meeting in the morning, which never happened later either. Oh well, so it goes. Tomorrow’s going to be an interesting day, I need to get my September billing done yet, I’m thinking I want to take off early since I had to put in extra time on Friday to do the whole server move.

I should be getting the memory I ordered sent back tomorrow. It would be nice if I got something back by the end of the week. The hard drive has been working just fine. I guess I’m not really sure I’ve seen a huge performance increase with the faster hard drive. I’m pretty sure the olde one was only a 4200 rpm drive where the new one is 5400 rpm. This still isn’t as good as a 7200 rpm but I just couldn’t see spending much more on it. I would have had to go with a smaller capacity drive and that would have defeated the purpose of doing the upgrade.

So I feel like I pretty much wasted my evening. I pretty much just messed around on making changes to my blog. I could have gotten to be way earlier but of course here I am, once again, being the night owl. I’m thinking I’m going to do all I can to force myself to get my butt out of bed in the morning. My days just always seemed to go better when I was able to get devotions in before I headed to work. I thin this is probably the reason for my poor attitude on things. I guess I’ve been kind of down on myself for not being able to keep up with the early morning routine.

Well, if I ever hope to be able to get up in the morning I have to call it a night. So I let this be a short post. The next two night will probably be pretty short as well, if even existent. If I don’t begin the web job tomorrow I’ll have to get crackin on Thursday. I only just now got content from the company so there wasn’t really anything I could do over this last weekend. Well, chow!

    Wild Life: No One Gets The Master Plan, And No One Is Perfect

    ByTim Nolte Updated on
    I’ve known for a long time that I’m a perfectionist and a planner. This had always been both a strength and a great weakness for me. The major weakness is that I’m always trying to figure out God’s plan and I turn my perfectionism into unrealistic expectations of others. Also my perfectionism takes a lot of joy out of life. It means that unless it’s perfect I’m not happy, and the kicker is that it most likely 9 times out of 10 it isn’t going to be perfect. That’s a pretty sad way to live honestly. Add to the perfectionism the desire to always have a plan makes life pretty difficult as things more often than not don’t go according to the plan. Reading through…

  • When God Says Move…You Sell Your House

    ByTim Nolte
    So yes that’s a rather yuk-yuk pun. Just giving a little update as to the latest in the saga called my life. Oh, and don’t take that the wrong way, it was only ment in a rather sarcastic way. So on with it…I received my first offer on my house. It really isn’t what I’m hoping to get. The reality is if I was desperate I might take it, however that is not the case. I just can’t accept an offer that won’t give me the ability to actually make the move to Michigan. I know that it all needs to be left in God’s hands, and I’m not the greatest salesman, however I don’t really agree that I should intentionally take a hit on…

    What God Brings…

    ByTim Nolte
    It has been a few days since my last update. I think I should now be able to have more regular updates as I finally have internet access at my place, and my wireless is up and running. It’s not that I couldn’t post from Vanessa’s, that’s where the last one was posted from, I’ve just had a lot of other things to do during the day, and my best posting time is usually at night. If I’m at Vanessa’s in the evening we are usually spending time together, well I guess we’ve been spending just about all our evenings together. We have both talked about trying have more of a routine for the both of us. With the holiday during this week, and me…

    In The Beginning

    ByTim Nolte
    (John 1:1-14) – John starts out describing a little about what the beginning was like. The Word was another name given to Jesus. It’s interesting that John starts out this way. It is very clear that the importance is placed on this description to setup the rest of the book. Jesus claimed he was God, was equal with God. The very fact that he also had the name of the Word and that these verses explain exactly was Jesus claimed is not insignificant. Jesus Christ always was and is equal to God the Father & God the Holy Spirit. John 1:12, this is a very popular verse. It explains the truth that all those that believe in Christ and follow Him become apart of God’s…

  • The Other John

    ByTim Nolte
    (John 1:15-28) – One thing that can be confusing wen you are reading through the Scriptures is the fact that the same names are used in more than one context. Here we’re reading the book of John and right at the begin he begins talking about John. The John that is talked about here is actually John the Baptist who, if you read more of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John) you’ll find out is actually Jesus cousin. Now John the Baptist was called by God to go ahead of Jesus and prepare people for his coming. John was a pretty wild looking guy and got pretty riled up when speaking about Jesus coming. Since he was baptizing people the Pharisees were pretty interested…

    God Confirms It

    ByTim Nolte
    So I just got done reading my devotional this morning. Wouldn’t you know the subject was exactly part of what I was talking about last night. The “normal” life, or balanced life as the devotional put. Christ’s life, as well as the disciples, was anything but normal or balanced. When it comes to meeting the spiritual needs of others, and doing the things that really count, normality isn’t the way to operate. How refreshing it is to have some good quality time to let God fill me for the day, Amen!
