Still Working

Today is the tenth consecutive day that I've been in the office since I got home last weekend, and it's starting to wear on me. I feel like I need a weekend now more than I ever have in the past six months (perhaps that's because I was used to going to class two days a week), and there are still two and a half more days to go. Here are some things I have done since I got here:

• Researched and ordered a laptop to use this summer. It's a Dell (unfortunately not a Powerbook) Inspiron 8500 with all the goodies. I'll be installing Linux on it and playing with remote VoIP applications.
• Ordered wireless networking cards to set up Wi-Fi in the office. It's gonna rock.
• Prepared for, then completely botched, the installation of a new device (the ZyWALL 10W) in my company's network. That, incidentally, is the reason I was here on Saturday and Sunday (broke everything trying to install it on Saturday, fixed almost everything on Sunday).
• Completely ruined, then resurrected, the VoIP applications we have in the office already.
• Prepared for, then executed flawlessly, the installation of a new device (the ZyWALL 10W) in my company's network.

Now I'm looking into setting up a VPN between this office and the Miami office. I think I need a nap.
