While it was going on the weekend wasn’t so bad. I had a party on Friday night that we had to go to — it was no fun. On Saturday we were unpleasantly busy had a nasty lunch out and then the kids played soccer in a suprise snow storm. The evening’s TV stunk on ice.

Nonetheless, I had to stay up until, like 3 o’clock in the morning. SAP recommends that when day-light-savings is over that customers shut down SAP during the second hour. You know how at 2am the clock starts over at 1am again? You end up with a duplicate hour between 1am and 2am. If you were to get two entries in a table with the same timestamp it could corrupt the entry.

Suprised? Me too. I can’t believe they haven’t come up with a better method yet. Nonetheless, it was my turn to stay up. At 1:30am I shut down all of our production system and then killed 90 minutes while time crawled along. When it reached 2am I started all our systems back up and headed off for bed. Dog tired.

On Sunday we took the boys to GameStop so they could get a new game for Ben’s Nintendo Gameboy followed up by another lousy lunch out. I discovered that someone had smashed the rear window of my 2000 chrysler sebring.

At the time I didn’t really mind it all. But just now as I was reviewing the weekend in my head, I think it was pretty crappy and all I can think is thank-god-its-over.

Turns out Monday has been a great improvement over the weekend. Its halloween and we have to take the kids trick or treating. The weather is good and it should be a fine time. The kids are all old enough to handle their own candy. Last year they were getting tired and wanted to call it a night before we had finished the block!

Unbelievable! I hope they’re more enthusiastic this time.
