Tonight concludes my 17th consecutive 14+ hour shift in a row with no weekends. Just to let you guys know what's involved in this move... We're setting up our new office of 55 employees in part of a 106 year-old historic train station that hasn't been occupied in over 50 years. It's the coolest building in the city. We're setting up a server farm and plumbing 7 T1 lines to the 5th floor, as well as coordinating furniture, electrical, networking, plumbing, HVAC and carpentry contractors with unrealistic deadlines. We're supposed to be up and running on Monday. Verizon still can't get 2 of the T1 lines straight. For 2 days, I have been moving heavy shit up to the 5th floor, and the main elevator is broken.

Meanwhile, all my consulting clients are blowing me up and I can't do much to help them right now. I have no clean clothes. My fridge is bare. My cars are dirty and neglected. I have no Christmas shopping done and I have a family Christmas party to go to tomorrow while people are expecting me to be working.

Somebody @^(#ing kill me.

I promise... I'll begin returning emails and posting the new car project after the new year. I'll be really limited until then at what I can do. But don't forget, I still love you guys like brothas from different mothas.

ElCoqui - at least you get overtime. This MF is salaried and ain't gettin' jack shit else out of it but a headache.
