Windows Updates on all the things..
Well that should give you a few hours to catch up on some other things then!

Got a call from one of the other tier-3 techs. A client had a RAID battery go bad and take the controller with it. Happy times are sure to ensue. They were only told the server needs replaced at least once a year for the past 3 years that we have documented.
-
Starting to organize a bookshelf in my office to hold my D&D books and accessories.
I found this in a box labeled D&D. I should have the entire series in one box or another....
-
Poorly packed box of graphic novels. Umm, I think I need to purge.
-
Back to work after a whole week out, feels good.
-
More user migrations using rsync, some of these users have a ton of files and way less intrusive to copy the bulk of their files using ssh and rsync.

watching my co worker try to figure out how to configure a D-Link AP for our HR POS (IPAD based POS system) . It's quite Comical to be honest.

Everything about that statement is comical, from the D-Link AP to the HR PoS and the iPad. . .

i thought the fact we were using D-Link AP was hilarious .
HR PoS (Heartland Restaurant PoS) is something our sales man / president decided we're going to start doing .
and it's ran on an IPad through a "portal"
I dont know much about it because my new boss wants me to focus on Aloha (server/windows10 ) support. -
I get the benefit/value of having an all in one internet enabled PoS system, food trucks, carts etc all make perfect sense to need this. But why does it need an AP?
iPads come with the option of Cellular data, why complicate it further by needing separate internet provided over dedicated WiFi?

I just asked the guy who is our "Product Specialist" on the subject and he said " an Added Layer of Protection to keep it away from regular wifi .
and that came from the Provider.

Why does the PoS system need printers and tickets at all? Why isn't the entire thing digital?
-
Is there special WiFi or regular WiFi. Gosh did I not buy the Special WiFi equipment. . .
-
Also just what I want to continue, the practice of kitchen staff touching filthy paper orders/receipts while they prepare the food that goes into my body.

they have the option to email receipts, and they dont have a kitchen video system yet.
so how would the cooks know what the order was -

Kitchen staff doesn't touch receipts. . .
and 85 % of restaurants use kitchen Printers where they are touching "Filthy Paper orders"
hell there are some that are still using Hand written tickets - which is way less sanitary than Kitchen printers. -

so how would the cooks know what the order wasPut in a kitchen video system. The wait staff takes the order, punches it into a tablet at the counter, that order gets sent to another iPad/some other that's in the kitchen.
Or they just yell the order to the kitchen.
Or something like RedRobin has where you as the waiter order whatever right from the table and you have no "waiter".

in the same vein--we wash our hands constantly with antibacterial soap but somehow it's enough in the US to just use paper to clean our anus during the day. Wild

I'm not sure there is a difference between the paper orders/receipts vs multi-user tongs, spatulas, counters, pump sauce dispensers and even touch screens. Seems the paper orders is the least of your worries.
