[geeks] What a morning....

I woke up feeling like crap and probably wouldn't have come in, but a 
friend is coming by this afternoon to pick some stuff up.

But, I came in at 7:30 to do some updates on our server. The updates go 
fine, but when I reboot the machine the RAID controller doesn't come 
back up. After waiting an hour for their tech support to open, I spent 
half an hour on the phone for them to tell me to update the firmware 
(but it was working fine 3 hours ago!) even though their is a red led 
blinking (it's normally green). I expect I will need a new controller, 
but my 'spare' was used in another server, and I will probably have to 
get one fedex'ed.

Then I find out the renders I paused take 11 hours per frame (on dual 
1500's) and need to be done today.

Then someone's workstation dies, and I will have to reinstall Windows.

Then someone clicks yes to run Iloveyou (I knew I should have left the 
header/body checks in Postfix). And I have to clean that up.

And it's only 11am.
