This morning started with a system at work going down. I wasn’t so panicked, since I’m not a sysadmin any more, but I was asked to help fix things. I’ve had lots of experience breaking things and some experience fixing the things I broke. That knowledge came in handy today.

Later, we had a minor software release. The real release was last week, and we were finished by 8:30PM. Today, my birthday, I was there until 9:00PM. Hooray!

So there it is. My exciting 40’s begin!

Actually, I should admit that we went to the Portland City Grill for lunch and the fries were heavenly. We had fresh baked cookies for dessert. When I got back to the office, we had chocolate cake from Pearl Bakery, and I was too full to enjoy it!
