      Good Grief.. Just skipped about a months worth of content here... ugh. Been way to tired and way to far behind to keep up. And with work, just don't have time.

      Smoking some cheese after a weekend of normal chores and house work. Also working offloading some images from the phone.. Don't want to believe that tomorrow is Monday again... sigh.. oh well. Time marches on.

      I can empathize. The past two weeks at work have yielded me little time to take part in forums.

      I have come home completely beat. It's a 45-60 min drive in, and a bit more coming home. This makes for a full 10 hour day really. And i'm not sitting like I had been, so this is good, but I'm just not accustom to it. Oh and the freight elevator was out two days..

      I've managed to deploy about 30 24" monitors, manage some inventory, learn a bit about OrcaScan for barcode scanning, and get two computers deployed - with stress.

      State applications are horrrid... They have SCCM and gods I miss ScreenConnect, and Chocolatey... I mean barf.

      They have had to build and move to a new SCCM server, which broke every package they had... not that they were good to start with.

      It's crazy the amount of personal touches you have to make on EACH stupid software in some cases.. Like,.. this one REQUIRES Firefox 52.2.... NOTHING ELSE works!!! like FFS WTH.

      Ah well.. It's a pay check. I went into this as a stopgap measure.

        We use SCCM (and GPO for stuff). I actually don't mind it, I've just never had the time to really dive into it and use it "right." My time with it has been more of make-what's-already-there-work. Mind you I had zero experience with SCCM prior to this gig.

            Sometimes I'm really impressed with the imaging camera in the iPhone....

                        Got gas early this morning and two of my warning lights came on. Power steering was one. Came very close to getting into another accident. I read online about other 2017 Hyundai Sonata owners having the exact same issue.

                          Sorry to hear. :(. Toyota Camrys solve most vehicle issues. 😉

                            Yikes... glad it was an almost accident instead of a real accident!

                              Are you working a state contract now? I assume you can't suggest something like Mesh Central - no cost except for the VM space/compute/RAM needed - assuming they have that, it's basically free.

                                Took the kinds over to the airport; they had an open house for the medi-vac flight helicopter service and the airport fire hall. Turns out one of the Captains and I went to college together (small world) AND the main I-T/network guy over there was my instructor when I first got my (well, now useless but didn't now any better back then) A+ cert.

                                            Our Microsoft TAM needs to go on vacation more often. Only then does he answer E-mails from my management. He's no where to be found otherwise. 😛
