I absolutely despise Credit Card Payment device companies with a passion...

Welcome to the club. I know you've been here a while, have a drink, you'll need it.

I've been dealing with these people for months now and it's just getting worse..

but a drink would be good.

hoping in a "project kick off call for a new Instance of Verifone VHQ" it's taking everything in my power to not start off with "hey listen here you fucks, I need x y and z done before we even start. I've been fighting with you for weeks now to get this"
but that's not appropriate for this call...

finally broke and turned the Air on this morning at my house - when we're getting up into the 90s F for the next 6-7 days with no real relief until 2am (or so) i was enjoying the lower energy bills..

Friday - Last day of running around like a chicken with my head cut off to take care of things after work.
Ready for the weekend full of yard work and bad decisions.

Just got back from a customer ; They called and said their tablets aren't working. Can't ping or see them online, tablets are showing offline at the device itself.
get to the site, and find out that the Wifi Adapter has been shut off. . .(disabled)
Not a problem right? just turn it back on (enable) right?

Nope - they use a version of Aloha that creates it's own users and permissions for those users.. and the user that was set to auto logon - is a local account and doesn't have permissions to do anything.

I ran net user <username> /active:no
This turns off the auto logon for this user, so that we can login with a different user.. I ran it both as Admin, and local.
Got an access denied (x2) - then was told by my boss that I'm using the wrong command.. because net user is only for over the network commands.... but he couldn't tell me the actual command that he's used. . . which I can't find anythign except net user
but hey what do I know.

Tried enabling the Wifi Adapter with cmd - No luck there access denied.

I laughed my ass off the whole hour drive back with their tablets.

Happy Friday Right?

Seeing my check pending for tomorrow and internally crying.

Isn't that every paycheck (it is for me)

eh, for the most part. lol

Looked at my pay stub and my overtime from the last week of the pay period isn't on there..
Yay. no to investigate why that's not there.

Ouch! May you find all of it.

It's on the time sheet. So I brought it to my Bosses attention, and my bosses boss attention. Hopefully they cut me a check for it today.

@dafyre said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@wrcombs Sure you can. It's just a button. 8-)

But getting a paycheck is also nice.

the dilemma

Coffee #2 , Only in the office for 2 days this week - Vacation Thursday - Friday, had yesterday off as a "impromptu vacation day"

Friday Morning Coffee, email purge. Ready for the weekend (regardless if I'm on call or not) to do as little as possible -

Horrible day at the office- my manager and I have so little to do , that we have sat here and talked about how little we have to do - after I asked him if there was anything that needed to be worked on and if there was anyway I could get extra hours cause I'm not making very much on a straight 80 pay period.. needless to say I'm extremely bored.

no, dont have that either.

Then you're going to have a difficult time keeping anything dry in that basement.... Sorry.

A sump pump will work to drain water that gets to it, but if the water is coming in from all corners and not being directed to a single point (a basin) then you'll likely have issues forever.

I've eliminated low points around the foundation and built them back up to drain away from the house. and moved the downspouts a little higher off the ground to allow more drop to the run off.
All things that I hope will keep water out..

That's a good start, but if you've got a basement, you need a sump pump. If the ground against the foundation is wet, you will have water seeping into the basement. Which is why every house in Ohio has a basin and sump pump. I've changed more pumps than I want to think about.

I went a head and changed the gutter run off into corrugated drain pipe coming from the house. hoping that helps a little too.

Only one in the office today - 3 day weekend looming over my head - Ready to head out.

Happy friday!

Did somebody fire you and forget to let you know?

The entire company was fired because they decided to do the Licensing Changeover failed and locked the entire company G-Suite Server
they did this on a Friday afternoon at 3:00pm.

lets just say - I have a site that is using a payment terminal - and we've replaced the payment terminal once already because it was getting network errors that it could not obtain network information - so we replaced with a brand new device- and now the new device is getting the same network error as the other device - so that tells me it's a network issue at that location - right? process of elimination..

probably - could be a bad cable. or bad WAP.

what I was thinking as well.

I just started Mandalorian last night - I know late but I just got access to Disney plus.

Anyone using this browser?
I've heard good things online about it, but whats the community thoughts on it?
