Never be enough for me.

You know I want you. It’s not a secret I try to hide.

All day every day.

I’ve been listening to the soundtrack and I can’t stop. I literally can’t stop.

It’s just so fucking good.

CHICAGO.

My beloved.

I’m here and I’m done.

Work is over and I’m here to play.

There were many many long days of getting things ready and finishing up, but it’s done.

Even with the prior knowledge of how to set things up with the new server, it still took me a long time to get things done.

I think the part that took the longest was setting up the users’ desktop after imaging. Setting up their account and profile.

It’s a little difficult when I had to do it twice since the new server wasn’t fully synced yet.

So, step 1 was to upgrade users to the newest version, either via the in-place upgrade or through imaging.

I did the upgrade on the few users that weren’t in the office and updated their extra PCs too. So, I didn’t have to worry about their computers and get them all setup on the first time back onto the old server.

Then, I had to image the rest of the users and get them all connected back to the old server. Then, come Friday night, after the server synced one last time, I had to redo a new profile and get them connected to the new server.

It’s a long process, but the only process, unless I waited for everything to finish and did both the imaging and user setup that night. That would have taken forever, and I would probably put in a lot more hours on a Saturday.

But done and done. Chicago is good to go.

Users come in on Monday and I’ll fix whatever I fucked up or forgot.

Fun times.

Fun times indeed.

Done and done.

While here, I got a #welcomehome tag on a picture by a coworker her.

She knows how much I love the city and to me, in a way, it is home.

I do feel good here. I do love it here.

Maybe.

Who knows?

The future is open, like I love to say.

It’s a blank canvas, waiting for my strokes, to make my masterpiece that is my life.

Here I am, with my free time and I’m just chilling.

I went to watch a movie yesterday and then went to the museum, knowing that I’m going to get an early lunch at a new restaurant.

It was an easy day. A light day, relaxing and strolling and keeping to myself.

It was a good way to recharge, being quiet, but on the move, like I’m not wasting my time here in Chicago, locking myself in my hotel room.

The weather is nice, go out. Enjoy.

Enjoy, indeed.

It’s such a beautiful city.

As for today, no idea wat I’m going to do.

Try not to think about work?

Let’s give that a shot.

The trip out here was a good reprieve from all the shit that is waiting for me back home.

I’m going to go through my emails on Monday and follow up on things that are outstanding on my side.

Life.

Work.

Stress.

That’s the new normal now.

Own it.

Embrace it.

Tired.

But rested.

The new normal.
