Cold Feet, and Hands

Nervous I sit,
I sit and ponder,
About the glories of
Being a Father.

Now I worry,
Too late now,
Will I be this child’s
Proper Father and how?

I’m scared and shaking,
Full of doubt,
Now knowing when
Our child will come out.

I literally shiver
At the thought
Of what we’ve made,
What the Lord hath brought.

There IS a difference! (RJ45 plugs)

After spending almost 2 hours and wasting 8 RJ45 ends along with 2 feet of Cat6, I realized the reason I couldn’t get all 4 pair to test properly was that I am using solid wire with plugs that are made for stranded wire.  Damnit.  I just ordered the right plugs.  Guess I’ll have both on hand now.

Rearranged my office

So I ordered a new keyboard wrist rest along with a new phone line so I could move my office around – wow, what a difference!  My hands don’t hurt typing and my office feels so much more comfortable now that I’ve done some shifting of things.  I should have done this a while ago!

Brick work is done

This weekend I finished the brick work on the hearth (actually red cement pavers).  At the beginning I actually told my wife, “Hey, this is fun, it’s like I’m a mason!”.  By the end I was thinking to myself, “I feel like a mason who hates his job.”
