Xes Lounge with everyone from work.

Last night I met up with several co-workers former co-workers at Xes Lounge. With Wednesday being my last day this is probably the last time I will see everyone so I figured I’d post the a list of what I’ll miss most about working at Macy’s:

Top Three Things I Will Miss

  1. Thursday afternoons when Tony returns from lunch and tells me with no reservations that “The System is fucking shit”.
  2. The absolute unwarranted amount of time, energy and talent that goes into creating the ‘Floor Map’.
  3. Everyone having mirrors on their desk just in case.

On a complete side note: If you ever find yourself in a Karaoke Deathmatch, make sure Dave Conklin is on your team.

Spectra Logic 2000?

Spectra Logic 2000

Today at work I got a call from our Network Administrator asking me to ‘cycle the power’ on the Spectra Logic 2000. Needless to say I was taken aback by this request. I’ve dealt with an AS400 which I always thought was the most powerful computer ever designed by man, but today I discovered how wrong I was.

Anything named the Spectra Logic 2000 must be control something on the scale of Missle Defense for the Soviet Union. You would expect something as powerful as the Spectra Logic 2000 to have been destoyed by MI6 long ago. We’ll you’d be wrong, instead the Spectra Logic is plugging along at my work.

*Side Note:

To ‘cycle the power’ on the Spectra Logic 2000, you don’t press a button or flip a switch, no, you pull a lever.

The Soviets wouldn’t have it any other way.
