Hello all, again..

My name is Will, Im 19 will be 20 in a couple months, I took a class in Middle School based on Cisco. So I have a basic idea on It, but really nothing further. I have a almost 2 year old son who loves to sit in front of the computer with me as I work, I think ive watched the minion movie on Netflix at least 100 times since my son became obsessed.

The start of my day included Coffee and ML is more or less my newspaper every morning reading forms.I was asked to join ML by My Uncle, who you all know as @Dashrender
Im learning everyday and the more I read, and take part in conversations and the hands on experience I feel my skills improving little by little.

Not to mention making sure I use the right terminology

edit Im interested in sever OS operations as well as Networking ( blame it on Cisco class from middle school) have a little practice in writing HTMI, which has to be my least favorite thing in the world of Computers. One day im hoping to have a job as network Admin or something along those lines.

Me: No we cant see your site online. . .

Customer: But we have internet.

me:Yes I know you have internet. but you are still running Windows XP, and Windows XP doesnt support net frame work 4.2 or higher which is what is needed to run the Command Center Agent (our Remote desktop software) .

customer: what am I paying you for then ? arent you guys supposed to notify me.??

Me: Yeah, and we did.. multiple times actually . however we don't upgrade the OS for free ( not my policy).

Customer: What am I paying all this money for then?

Me: For me to tell you you need to upgrade your OS, and for us to fix your many issues you've had . Everything is well documented and what you are paying for compared to what you get is actually really fair based on your call loads.

Customer: Can I speak to someone else?

Me: they will tell you the same thing... but sure, here's My Boss.

Im ready for tequila.

Update - No one in the house is showing symptoms. No fevers or anything - Doctor said if we dont show symptoms by friday (this week) we can end our quarantine.. SO far So good.

any veterans here?

If so Thank you for your service and happy veterans day.

Made it a year at my new gig 8/9. Amazing how much you can learn and get your hands on when you're not confined to a box your (old) boss tells you to stay inside!

My son's playing in 2 different football leagues - So far they are undefeated -

Today I'm consulting with a customer about upgrading their phone system and fixing online ordering issues -

Happy Friday Eve!

Back to the original Thread -

Heard from the Network company - they also agree 2 APs are too close together and could be causing a lot of the issues here. They will be doing maintenance next week about this to get it resolved for testing purposes.
He is building a map and looking into other solutions, and he talked with the owner and let him know he was engaged and that we were working together to get this resolved.

So we had a meeting to discuss moving forward and my boss made this comment :

"Guys, Dont be afraid to get on to the forum and list servers via email and ask questions. Will, You are really good about getting the question out there and asking questions giving information. Keep that up and dont be afraid to use it as we move forward."

SO Thank you ML for teaching me how to ask questions in an open forum such as this one

You Joined the Dark Side,

Now quick, You're complimentary cookies are waiting for you in the break room .

Realizing that being at the right company makes all the different for what you do and how much you do. This company in a week has been 1000x better. I'm truly hoping it says this way - but I've been much happier and not dreading going to work for the last4 days has made such improvements to my psyche.

Canceling PT for my daughter (19 months old) for tomorrow -

The whole reason is cause she's been slow to walk and was on the outside of that "normal range" - Thursday last week after we confirmed the appointment she stood up and started walking all over the place - There is no stopping her now! She's a walking machine.

Im 19, new to IT have a little under my belt. not much. I started to love computers and really pick on how things worked with them around 7th grade while taking an IT essentials course that focused on cisco networking systems, from there every chance i had i was on a computer poking around and seeing what they could do as i learned more, i wanted to do more.

@bnrstnr said in Apple OSX - Public Desktop:

I love how all of your Mac related posts are pretty much just you talking to yourself

sometimes you just need advice from someone who will listen..
And for Dustin on MAC's/ Apple it's usually himself.

LOL

Watching an episode of Criminal minds on my Lunch Break- Time really stops when you are bored.

Today and yesterday, I could have watched 7 hours of Criminal Minds and nobody would have noticed, lol.

My gf processes mortgage loans, she watches TV all day and still does 3-4x as many loans as everyone else.

Maybe BECAUSE she watched TV every day.

I couldn't do that, I need silence, total silence, to work. But for a lot of people, having a moderate distraction allows them to focus more. Office environments that force silence, chatter, interruptions or whatever they enforce cater to just one niche of how any given person works, so most people lose productivity simply by not fitting into the enforced niche of whatever office environment.

I can confirm that when I have moderate distraction ; such as music, and talking with the other people in the office, I am much more productive with my time and get things done more efficently: even when I work from home every so often, I will have the TV on as back ground noise. . .

so i hate printers

Had a meeting last night that I thought was going to go a complete different direction than it did. .
the new sales guy that started the first of the year interviews for GM next week, as our current GM is stepping down, the sales guy called me into his office , and I dont want to go into to much detail about what was said, but it was basically he wants change, and specifically wants me to step up into a different role in the company, as part of his presentation during the interview process, he's putting me out there as part of the solution to the company..
If it sticks it'll be huge. I may have spoke to him indirectly without knowing he's going to be the new GM ( i mean that's why they brought him down here to begin with.. as i just found out.) about a few issues i've seen and things that were bothering me..

Happy Friday,
Lucky Me I get vacation time next week hanging out with my son while my day care provider(ok, my dad) goes on vacation to Montana, his friend bought about 20 acres of land , they're going up to check it out and clear it out a little bit.
