Mine went down too. So an old MS Concierge person that connected O365 to AD 2 years ago that was"disconnected" ... wasn't.

We are both back up now. WHAT A FREAKING PAIN!

Schools close at the drop of a hat anymore. Too afraid of lawsuits.

Not around here.

In our highschool (that @Minion-Queen and I went to) we had a few students die because they didn't close the school when obviously they needed to and there was no safe way to get to school from even right across the street, even on foot... but they still kept not closing them.

I would rather them close at the drop of a hat than not at all when they should. Safety should come first.

I don't really understand why there are physical schools at all, for the most part. The entire idea is antiquated.

Because parents need babysitters so they can work.

I'm one of those parents.

Oh I get it totally. (we homeschooled but I get the needing your child to have a place to be).

Old news around these parts, I announced the ultrasound a few weeks ago.

But thanks!

This is what happens when my own family drama takes over life.

Having just been forced to use ConnectWise, we found it to be horrible. The tech works, but the overall integration and system was so bad that there is no way we could work if we had to use that all of the time. The theory is great, but the execution failed.

Which piece of ConnectWise? ConnectWise has a bunch of "formerly known as" products under their umbrella. LabTech, ScreenConnect, and Manage to name a few.

Their helpdesk specifically was unusable. And that's a pretty important piece, the part we need to work to know to use the rest of it.

they didn't know what they were doing with it.

If they screw up alot, follow them around to their clients. Easy pickins.

If that wasn't a totally douchy thing to do I totally would

To be fair the MSP we were pitching in with might not have done a good job setting anything up so it could be because they didn't know what they were doing with it.

Happy Anniversary to @art_of_shred and @Minion-Queen

Thank you!!!!

I have a couple clients that use Xero for the accounting piece and then chose an add-on for each piece that they needed. They were able to design what they needed without all the stuff they didn't. Take a look at the Xero market Place for the Apps, might be something there for them. https://www.xero.com/us/marketplace/s/app-functions
