Catch up!

I was told to in a very polite way that this page hasn't been updated in a while. You were right. It hasn't. So much has been going on.... where to start....

School - is going good. I had originally planned to take a class then take a term off, take a class, term off. Instead I seem to just be taking classes. I'm now considered a sophomore! It will get done... one class at a time.

VW- My time in Second Life is next to nothing. I'll log in to listen to some musicians I like and while there, I'm normally multi tasking.. home work, social media, or catching up with a few friends. There isn't much there for me anymore. I've moved to InWorldz!

In Worldz - See above *points up* My closest friends from SL went there so it only made sense that I too go! And go I did. We've started a role play group and Krsna is even trying to lend gentle guidance and direction to get the whole rp community of IW to act together and help each other. It's really amazing.

RL - Between work and school, there isn't time for much else......... I have a list of people I need to contact. Becky... you're on that list. We need to do dinner.

Work - This falls into RL but I needed to give this it's own little section. Sometimes you wonder about your place in the giant scheme of things. Yesterday I had my answer. An agent came to my desk and asked me if I could do something about a ticket. The group it was sent to hadn't picked it up to work on it and the customer was calling back asking for an update. I looked at the ticket and frowned. A patient in the hospital was asking for access to skype. This hospital is HUGE and the computers in it are "locked down"... meaning not anyone can add unapproved programs. Plus... we don't normally do support for a patients family. The agent then told me to read the ticket. And I did. The patient was in ICU and his only daughter was getting married this weekend. The only way he could attend the wedding would be using Skype. How could I not try to do something?!?! I called a manager of a group to see if a firewall needed to be opened. I explained the situation and he told me how they could make it work. I then called the manager of the Dell desk top technicians. This was were the problem would be. Under the contract Dell has with our company, they only work on hospital owned machines. This computer was owned by the family. I explained the problem and when I got to the the part about the wedding, his response? "How can we NOT help?! Of course!" He then contacted one of his techs and made it happen.

So this family will have no clue about the part I played in helping make their day special, but I will and that's enough for me.

Know what else? I kinda missed this page.......
