[geeks] What a morning....

I woke up feeling like crap and probably wouldn't have come in, but a
friend is coming by this afternoon to pick some stuff up.
But, I came in at 7:30 to do some updates on our server. The updates go
fine, but when I reboot the machine the RAID controller doesn't come
back up. After waiting an hour for their tech support to open, I spent
half an hour on the phone for them to tell me to update the firmware
(but it was working fine 3 hours ago!) even though their is a red led
blinking (it's normally green). I expect I will need a new controller,
but my 'spare' was used in another server, and I will probably have to
get one fedex'ed.
Then I find out the renders I paused take 11 hours per frame (on dual
1500's) and need to be done today.
Then someone's workstation dies, and I will have to reinstall Windows.
Then someone clicks yes to run Iloveyou (I knew I should have left the
header/body checks in Postfix). And I have to clean that up.
And it's only 11am.
