Still uncertain if it's Monday today or something else.

It's on the weekend?

That's why we have ROF (Read Only Friday), so we can quietly sneak out and celebrate on the weekend

Projects for new deployments of things, like a phone system or managed services needs to have a discovery phase where the vendor checks what they are deploying into.

I used to think that ^this^ was standard practice.
Apparently it's not, and I'd like to point out that a significant amount of the issues across a few projects that we've had over the last few years COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED.

So much facedesk... That reminds me I need a new desk, this one has a head shaped hole that suddenly appeared.

Help reduce the pain of your next facedesk. It will also reduce wear and tear on your next desk.

Are those bult in speakers?
That's some pretty awesome meatware avoidance happening right there!

May have to get a bunch for the team.

Those are for your hands. Google Ostrich Pillow. They have been around a while.

That's awesome

My wife and I have laughed about them and were about to buy one. Though at the time, a few years ago, they still wanted like $129 for one so we declined.

Cool in concept but not in price.

Wiping the work computer tomorrow morning when I come in, putting a fresh install of windows10 on it and wiping my hands of this place , the count down continues.. getting more and more excited.

Careful of don't-giva-a-crapenitis. It hits hard the closer you get to a work place not being your problem

The dog is taking over the cats duties while the ^cat is off playing basketball^

About to go to a wing festival in Chicago. After a hot dog of course.

what's a wing festival?

chicken wings?
paul mccartney & wings?

I think @RojoLoco would provide a better definition (and hopefully a review :D) but IIRC, it's chicken wings with various sauces, and I believe that the sauces are usually spicy.

For some semi-related hilarity, The YouTube channel Hot Ones is an example of wings n sauce vs people/celebrities.
People are interviewed while eating Chicken wings coated in hot sauces, some handle them well.

@nadnerB Haven't had that much bad luck with them as switches goes and they have lasted more than Dell and HP for us.

When other people have bought TP-Link kit, it's been pretty good.
At work (pre-merger) we had some things that APs, switch etc, they seemed to keep going.
Opposite story at home I've had, i think I'm up to, 3 DOA modem routers, and one that was dieing a slow death. IMO, I have bad luck with TP-Link, so I've stopped buying their stuff.

Other people don't seem to have the issue.
