I woke up this morning with the sound of an instant message notification coming from Yolanda’s I-Phone. I nudge her and verbally alerted her about it. She reached over and grabbed it and the message came from Greis who was letting her know that she had walked to work. This would be the first time Greis walks to work which is about 20 minutes away. The only concern we have is that it is really early in the morning since she starts at 5:00. During the night I had a dream that I actually remember which is rare. I also remember that within my dream I shared my experiences of what I did in the dream within the dream to someone else in my dream as if I actually was doing what I was doing inside my dream. As to what the dream was about is really not important so I won’t waste time going into it. After getting up and getting ready I casually walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. I prepared an IDS protein shake and swallowed my IDS Mass Tab and the additional supplement pills. I kiss my wife and proceeded to work. When I came in I got the announcement that there was a network issues going on. How much I hate to have network issues on a Monday morning. Here is the deal with what happened. We have a Cogent point to point 1 gig connection from 318 W. Adams and 350 E. Cermak. Over the weekend Cogent had performed maintenance on their network equipment which caused a broadcast storm. This broadcast storm caused the interface on Cogent’s interface to go into error disable and trigger the interface to shutdown. After doing some troubleshooting we noticed that there were several logs generated on our switch located at 350 E. Cermak which referenced spanning-tree. In the past we have experienced these messages and we are aware that they indicate a broadcast storm. We had the Cogent technician look at their interface and they confirmed this to be a fact. After they reset their interface everything came back up. I personally believe that this issue should have been discovered by the provider since they provide us a service and they were the ones that did the maintenance which resulted in our loss of connectivity. Being that this line is a secondary backup line we never received any logs 
indicating any change state on the interface. The manager of networking department held the position that we should have seen this before Cogent and that we should have called them on it. His view of the matter is that Ricky who comes to work early enough to look over the system and verify that everything is well should have checked the line status. I agree but only if he has been told to do so in the past and if he wasn’t occupied with other morning routines that are not in the norm which would have prevented him to check the interfaces. I also disagree with the manager but only on his harsh delivery approach regarding his concerns. For lunch I had some leftover food from the night before. I packed up and ate 1 cheeseburger, 2 bratwursts, and 1 pork chop. I had mixed up and 1 IDS creatine lemonade drink. I flushed down my food and proceeded to work. I think I am 90 percent complete with drawing the schematics needed for the City of Burbank. After work I will stop by and have my father look over them before I submit them for approval. I will include my design in this log to let anyone who is seeing or reading them gets a chance to view by creation. 
I think that it came out nice for it being my first time. At the end of the day I did drive over to my father’s house and showed him the drawings. We instantly saw some errors and he recommended for some adjustments to be made. I stood at his house for a little while and enjoyed a cup of coffee with some deep fried pork chunks. I know this is really bad and I don’t know if God is tempting me by putting all of this food in front of me but I do fall short and give in. I am just glad it doesn’t happen every day or that I don’t crave it so bad that I pull money out of my pocket for it. At the end of my visit I decided that since I had to continue drawing on Microsoft Visio my diagrams that I would go home and spend the evening in front of my computer doing just that. For the evening I had an orange juice and cranberry mixed drink and stayed focused until 12:00 in the morning. I then went to bed. I plan to double up my gym time for Tuesday and Wednesday so I can get back on schedule.
