Saturday started off cool, and then started to escilate. I got out of bed and had some breakfast, and made arrangements to finish up setting up my new rack of servers. My friend came over in his truck, and we went off to the datacenter to finish off the servers. We got everything hooked up, and realized we forgot the power cables. Headed off to frys once again to get the power cords we needed. Spent an hour shooting the bowl with the frys guys we deal with. Went to check out, and got a phone call from a hotel my family owns, and the fire sprinklers in one of the suites is broken, and the hotel is getting flooded....
So, we pay for the stuff, throw everything in the car, and drive an hour to go deal with the aftermath of the flood.... My friend and I arrive, and the sprinkler is fixed, but there is tons of water damage.... The laundry room is out of service, the suite is out of service, as are 4 regular rooms.... We talk to the fire department, and handle all the paperwork as the discharge of water tripped the alarm, and call water restoartion places, and get the insurance company on the line. We decide to grab food at the hotels restauraunt, and get a call from the mini-storage office that there are some customers who are disgruntled. We head on over there, and they say they had stuff stolen from their storage. We head over to look, and they said that they had a plasma TV stolen, cherry bedframe/headboard, THX sound system, and some TV stands and computer stuff... My friend and I look at eachother, and know that they are playing the BS card. We head back to the office, and they threaten me, as I show them the contract showing that we are not responsible for stolen items, and that they need to have insurance to cover their possesions. They call the sherrif, and my friend and i head back over to the restauraunt to finish dinner. We wait around until the sherriff comes over, and we have a good conversation about liability and that my ass is covered because of the agreement. The sherriff said that she is taking a report to make them happy, and when I asked about what was stolen, the sherriff told me they were missing a playstation and some pots/pans.... So I load up and leave at about 7.00PM, and head back for Sacramento.
Get back, have dinner, and realize I have no money as a result of the numerous Frys trips as well as the deposit on the water repair. Luckily I am at my favorite restauraunt where I know all the people that work there, and know one of the waitresses (dated her, broke up, but still really good friends), so she says "Dont worry about it, and we will square up later...." She made my day!
Headed back to the datacenters, got everything powered up and configured, and left there at about midnight.
Went home, had a drink, and went to bed.... Man, that was the worst part of the weekend....
