Server Reboot Wednesday: Over the River and Through the Woods edition

cornucopia.jpg
From Paul Jensen, our System Administrator who The Weekly is very thankful for:

Things That I am Thankful For (in no particular order):

  1. My ability to walk behind someone having a computer problem, look at their screen, and having that problem disappear without me doing anything. Seriously. I know nothing about computers. It's all done with magic. I'm the Doug Henning of the IT world.
  2. My Scottish clan, the McKinnons, who had the wherewithal and know-how to invent Drambuie, thus creating the delicious cocktail the Rusty Nail. You're welcome.
  3. The healing power of food wrapped in bacon.  Also: bacon.
  4. Perfect pop music: "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5, "Girl Talk" by Dave Edmunds and the bridge to "I Saw Her Again" by the Mamas and the Papas.
  5. Bees. 'Cause, you know, we need bees.
  6. Hulu.com - suck it, Comcast.
  7. January 20, 2009
  8. The Seahawks. They've totally freed up my Sunday afternoons.
  9. The comforting fact that all y'all will be so kind as to close all your programs before leaving the office tonight. Even Wendy. Maybe.
  10. Working late the night before a day off. Makes the bourbon taste that much sweeter.

Reboots start at 8pm.
