Waiting on the official offer letters

May they offer well.

How much more can one put into a day... I guess I'm going to find out.

Family friend had shoulder surgery - which by itself isn't a 'big deal'... well it is. But more so when you are also wheelchair bound. So - Shoulders are a BIG integral part of your daily mobility.

So we are fixing some meal stuffs for them. Pork loin to slices in a brine now in the smoker,.. Pasta salad,.. and now about to grill some vegetables...

In between all this - got a fifteen hour print running for another friend.. first of four prints he would like... one is two color - which should be interesting..

(sniff) hmm apple wood smoked. It's glorious ... I've not thought about Monday for hours.

This came up for some reason on my YT feed... so what the heck.... it's a nice looking shelf.... Oh my god so much more than just 'a nice looking shelf'!!

Hey @RojoLoco - and other audiophiles... you might find this interesting.

@WrCombs Something to look forward to
Me to my "new" boss: "we should make this change to allow for better security, require everyone to MFA at least x amount"
Answer I'm expecting: We'll have to research it and pass it up the chain (that would have been my old job)
Answer I got: "You're the security officer, make it so"

Me: When did I become the security officer?
New Boss: Just now!

Me: Does that come with a new salary?

that is the question to ask ; but i'll just be happy to not be micromanaged every second of everyday

Careful what you wish for-
When I started this current job, I wasn’t micromanaged,.. or questioned, or ‘abused’.

Now it’s a daily thing. What was great and a great directory turned to ….. badly fermented chocolate pudding

that's unfortunate. I'm just hoping it's not the same thing

So say we all.

Likely a few that need to be culled out... like why are there three Telegram - I only need the one - likely MY error during the install. By not specifying the right 'application' name.

Updating is super fast

choco upgrade all -y

Get coffee or in my case Mountain Dew and finished or mostly finished when you get back.

@RojoLoco said in RojoLoco gets a new kitchen....:

@gjacobse @Dashrender that will be a big window with counter top along that wall. Probably going to put chairs / stools there for dining. And I don't think all of this portion is done yet.

If it's not done yet,.. I'm cool with that. But having been around and doing enough framing - I know it's isn't completed. .. But again - I'm no builder or building inspection. I just understand the basics of gravity and framing.

In a rare occurrence - I took the day off. Although I still took time to join the IT Teams meeting that lasts about an hour.

Kids started school today also.. so now I sit here with plenty of things to do - and no real hurry to do any of it. I've already fallen asleep once,.. and may do so again before long. Rest of the week with lead up to half a dozen staff moves to the new building that I don't know has the Certificate of Occupancy yet.... uhm - pretty sure we have to have that before people can work there... but - who am I do know such things.

Off to commit to doing something..... maybe.

First evening shift - 2 hours left, I can't even begin to explain how much better this company is

Was anyone even a little surprised?

I'm surprised - Not used to working for sch a great company

here's the thing - you still don't know it's great - only that it's better than the last. They might just be great, but then again - they might only be just - pretty good, or better than most.

Yup-
This office was awesome when I started. Now it’s absolute crap. It’s the exception and not a rule!! And it’s what you invest. I have put everything I have into here and I am repeatedly (<f>) over.

@RojoLoco and @scottalanmiller
I’m just old!

Just confirmed a Thursday afternoon interview… looking forward to it and what lays ahead…

@RojoLoco said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Heading out to pick up some Jamaican food!

Dinner was a variation of Red Beans and Rice... not the best i've fixed.. but - it'll do.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

AT&T just tried to sell me service in Nicaragua. Um, yeah, like that would make sense.

Another cycle of spam accounts deleted…. What is it with Texas and :
Water heaters
Carpet cleaning
Sewer repair

@WrCombs

Monday Morning indeed.. I am still recovering from being sick and lost of 60% of my network. .. New switch came in so that is replaced and now got more back. I feel I still need and will replace the router but need to find the right one as what I have been looking at - isn't available or available at a respectable price.

Work wise is a mess.. Onboard day, I'm still out 'sick' and a contractor was scheduled to do electrical / networking work... so our already limited staff has been overly pushed.

I really am looking for something else... this place is a disaster ...

That sounds horrible. hopefully that gets straightened out or you find something better

Thanks - I'm going for the 'something better' variety

@nadnerB said in Random Thread - Anything Goes:

I would go one step farther and uninstall module "work" Sadly that also uninstalls Paychec.exe

Working on another PS convenience script; the POS systems in both pharmacies will ‘stop’ and they can’t process cards from time to time. You have to stop and start the services to reset.

When I got here, they were remoting to that computer and then stop/starting it,.. having used the command line tool in (remote tool I can’t think of now) I found I could do the same in Manageengine,.. and then via command line. So I wrote a simple batch file to do that task.

Now creating a menued powershell script for both sites.
