Well it’s end of the week again. I’m glad I no longer work weekends. For awhile there I was working 7 days a week and it was just way too brutal on me.

Today was an OrcaPack day. I did alot of background noise stuff. Playing with the ins and outs of some WordPress stuff. Getting this blog set up. Getting my twitter feed set up http://twitter.com/sayfsharif if you’re interested…

Of course the fun part of the day was at 4 realizing that I couldn’t dial anyone on my iPhone. Tried calling my wife, nada. Tryed calling my business partner Tim, nada. Finally had to reboot the phone and then it worked fine.

I blame AT&T. The phone is great but AT&T is just godawful. Used to be fine for me then six months ago (or so) we had a storm in the spring time and a super cell came through. Ever since that storm came through my reception has been crap. Before that storm I had full bars every day everywhere in the house. AFter the storm fora  few days service was spotty, on and off, and no 3G at all. It got ‘better’ but these days that means that it’ll be at full bars and then it’ll be at no service completely and I’ll drop a call.

Or I’ll have full bars and the call will drop, and i’ll still have full bars, and I can’t get any kind of connection to call the person back for five minutes. Then I’ll have 3 bars.

Or I’ll sit at 1 measly bar all day long and the connection will be tenuous at best, anywhere in the house from the 2nd floor to the basement.

I don’t care what they say, I bet lightning struck the nearest cell tower to me in spring and since then it’s been crap. They’d never admit that though. Ah well.

OH and also my phone just won’t ring, and things will go to voice mail. I’ll make a call and then I’ll get the voicemail sound, and 3-4 voicemails from the past 5 hours that the phone has been 1 foot from me the whole time will ding in. Never rang once.

I tell people at AT&T this and they say the usual “are you a moron” questions like “did you have it on vibrate?” “Was the phone on?” “Were you in a tunnel?”

Useless.

Anyway. Now that I have this stuff up i can talk every day about my own stuff like this but also stuff like OrcaPack or our new product to provide great websites for daycare centers and preschools odaycare. Or our other products olawoffice, oclubhouse, and ofitnessclub as well as our custom design and development work, and future products, and any current clients that deserve a shoutout like CustomMade which we just launched and are helping move towards their next product version.

For now though i’m gonna go get my shorts on and take a walk to help prepare myself for Grouse Camp later this month, and then shower and relax in house with the family once they get home. We were gonna go to a high school football game tonight, but nobody wants to go out in the cold or rain, so instead we’ll put the kids to bed and I”ll probably end up playing World of Warcraft when wife and baby conk out at 9pm.
