Ugh.... My new band is now drummer-less, and the search begins. Such a PITA. And right when we were starting to build a little steam and momentum. No bad blood, the guy just walked away, but here we are, high and dry.

That's Rough man
Drummers aren't hard to find, good ones however, are.

Truth. We know lots of good ones, all of them are in at least 3 bands and have no time. But the feelers are out, fingers crossed.

Good luck man.

it won't be any better. now the lanes will just be full of delivery drivers

No kidding. LOL

Have been told 4 times today on cold calls : "It's not the right business move to open up for takeout only at a dine in, bar and grill. it's just not even worth the hassle for you or us. We'll just close for 6 weeks min. and hope for the best. appreciate what you're trying to do."
There's literally nothing I can say to that except : Well, if your boss changes their mind and you're interested. let me know, At the very least take a look at what they are offering , maybe you can save the server who is also a single parent.. from worrying about what her kids going to eat during this time..

Looking at Conceal Carried Permit courses with the Tax refund sitting in my bank account... Not a good idea, but also, a great idea.

Just got my first hardware sale- Tablet with Access Point - Guess who has 2 thumbs and gets to set up the access point?
this guy!

Now to set up an Unifi AP for the customer site.

Our dog was just attacked in our yard. Dealing with the police.

oh dang.
How'd that happen

Shit neighbour leaves them out, thinks its funny.

Police just had a nice chat with them. They actually lied to the police and claimed that the dogs were never out, to the very cop who had captured them!

I find it very funny when people lie after being caught

Yeah, that definitely did them no favours. They got TWO citations after that.

play stupid games...

I got Elder Scrolls Online downloaded and installed yesterday so... that might be happening.

big bet, Loved ESO when I used to play it.

I completed Oblivion and Skyrim (as much as anyone CAN complete them, lol) and have played some Morrowind. So looking forward to it.

I was a big fan of Tamriel (?) and the PVP's were just insane.
Sad I got rid of that actually.. was a lot of fun..

Lately i'm playing Jedi Fallen Order.

All my friends know to ask about any baked goods I bring over. I would never just surprise someone with that... totally not cool. Most of the time, my friends are like "yeah, but how strong are these really?"

hahahaha

Just taught myself how to add an MMC snap in to track down Certs.

Dad's spring cleaning (and looking to sell his house) and found all of my old JROTC Certificates, varsity letters, and awards, the nostalgia..

back in the office for the first time this morning..
any guesses how long i'll be by myself today ?

Either too long or not long enough.

Not long enough ,
I've already been told that I should have been here last week by someone in the corporate office.

I have been in the office every work day since the quarantine started, but usually for only an hour or less. But I'm the only one on the 5th floor when I'm here, and there are probably less than 10 people total in the whole building.

Well as you might remember, my Son's mom's boyfriend came in contact with a person who tested positive.
He was around my son after being exposed, and his mom was exposed. then around my son as well.
So we did a mandatory 2 week quarantine as instructed by doctors.
and I'm getting lash backs from the corporate office - basically challenging my reason for staying home.

Hold the phone - you stayed home solely because the doc suggested it? Your office didn't mandate it? (don't make any inferences from my question, Scott)

Not solely, My boss told me to stay home.

Just saw this joke: not sure who to give credit to but copyrights belong to original author

if you divide 2020 by 5 you get 404 - so basically the entire year is just an error

Just had a call:

Customer:"yeah, our terminal is broke, we changed it out with a different one.. "

Me: "well what happened to the terminal.."

Customer: "It was dropped violently...."

"what...? "

I.E. Someone got mad about something unrelated and smashed it on a concrete floor somewhere.

That's the first thing i thought..
Then they wanted a new one sent out to them for free ....

Yeah no... Temper tantrums are not a part of your contract with us.

Was offered a job by a customer this past weekend- to move into a management position For their Bar.
I almost considered taking it.. LOL

Happy monday !

I think you should have. For real. You need out of where you are.

The offers is still on the Table. But I would become a Bar manager, rather than a tech.

the difference between "Real IT jobs" and POS Jobs ladies and gents ^^^^

@JaredBusch Yes, everyone has a cell. My thoughts were if I am going to set it up, it may as well get used. My parents still have a house phone as cell service isn't great.

One reason for me was to have an IP phone in my shop as well as the house. I have this now as an "intercom" of sorts. I can get called from the house and get my cheap Grandstream phone dirty and not care.

Definitely not a "must have". Figured if I set up a new lab instance in Vultr, I may as well actually use it.

Its how i call my dad still. In fact everyone. I cant hear people on cell calls.

Need to get you one of those cell phones for old people with some extra oomph in the speaker department.... that, or a set of hearing aids. Amplify All the sounds!

and then you can turn the hearing aid completely off when you're tired of people.
