Likely a few that need to be culled out... like why are there three Telegram - I only need the one - likely MY error during the install. By not specifying the right 'application' name.
Updating is super fast
choco upgrade all -y
Get coffee or in my case Mountain Dew and finished or mostly finished when you get back.
@RojoLoco said in RojoLoco gets a new kitchen....:
@gjacobse @Dashrender that will be a big window with counter top along that wall. Probably going to put chairs / stools there for dining. And I don't think all of this portion is done yet.
If it's not done yet,.. I'm cool with that. But having been around and doing enough framing - I know it's isn't completed. .. But again - I'm no builder or building inspection. I just understand the basics of gravity and framing.
In a rare occurrence - I took the day off. Although I still took time to join the IT Teams meeting that lasts about an hour.
Kids started school today also.. so now I sit here with plenty of things to do - and no real hurry to do any of it. I've already fallen asleep once,.. and may do so again before long. Rest of the week with lead up to half a dozen staff moves to the new building that I don't know has the Certificate of Occupancy yet.... uhm - pretty sure we have to have that before people can work there... but - who am I do know such things.
Off to commit to doing something..... maybe.

First evening shift - 2 hours left, I can't even begin to explain how much better this company is
Was anyone even a little surprised?
I'm surprised - Not used to working for sch a great company
here's the thing - you still don't know it's great - only that it's better than the last. They might just be great, but then again - they might only be just - pretty good, or better than most.
Yup-
This office was awesome when I started. Now itās absolute crap. Itās the exception and not a rule!! And itās what you invest. I have put everything I have into here and I am repeatedly (<f>) over.
@RojoLoco and @scottalanmiller
Iām just old!
Just confirmed a Thursday afternoon interviewā¦ looking forward to it and what lays aheadā¦
@RojoLoco said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
Heading out to pick up some Jamaican food!
Dinner was a variation of Red Beans and Rice... not the best i've fixed.. but - it'll do.
@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
AT&T just tried to sell me service in Nicaragua. Um, yeah, like that would make sense.
Another cycle of spam accounts deletedā¦. What is it with Texas and :
Water heaters
Carpet cleaning
Sewer repair

Monday Morning indeed.. I am still recovering from being sick and lost of 60% of my network. .. New switch came in so that is replaced and now got more back. I feel I still need and will replace the router but need to find the right one as what I have been looking at - isn't available or available at a respectable price.
Work wise is a mess.. Onboard day, I'm still out 'sick' and a contractor was scheduled to do electrical / networking work... so our already limited staff has been overly pushed.
I really am looking for something else... this place is a disaster ...
That sounds horrible. hopefully that gets straightened out or you find something better
Thanks - I'm going for the 'something better' variety
@nadnerB said in Random Thread - Anything Goes:
I would go one step farther and uninstall module "work" Sadly that also uninstalls Paychec.exe
Working on another PS convenience script; the POS systems in both pharmacies will āstopā and they canāt process cards from time to time. You have to stop and start the services to reset.
When I got here, they were remoting to that computer and then stop/starting it,.. having used the command line tool in (remote tool I canāt think of now) I found I could do the same in Manageengine,.. and then via command line. So I wrote a simple batch file to do that task.
Now creating a menued powershell script for both sites.
@pmoncho
Yikes -
No thanks.. I just would like to have my 94 hours considering,... or at least a good bit of it.

Just put in a ticket to get our new VDI servers racked up... also trying not to freeze to death (southern version). See below:
As you can see, the apocalypse will occur sometime over the weekend. Between holidays and the looming lack of temperature, I'm afraid to go outside. Probably WW3 going on at Walmart right now.
Trade ya,ā¦
And you to 4ā of snow,ā¦ after rain. With a FLASH freeze.

Got some heavy tunes blasting, coffee brewing (again)... so much to do before heading across town for the xmas-ing.
I also just remembered it is 17F out, so I finally put a space heater in the garage to keep those pipes from freezing.
17, thatās a heatwave compared to our -7
dont forget windchill dash
We are finally up to 0degF,ā¦ we were at -6 this morning.
