The server that I couldn't get to yesterday because it needed to be started? I can't get to it this morning. I'm guessing it needs to be started! Dude has not answered my email yet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Because books.
Granted I know very little about computers, but I guess I thought servers were the kind of thing that had to be left on all the time?
I'm so sorry, Katie. I'm glad you got to say goodbye, though.

t, I would think it would at least teach you to take a 6AM call from home, and tell them you'll be in late, so you can take a nap after?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They took my computer to upgrade it to Win10, and the loaner might drive me insane. But I know there are worse problems! Which many of you are dealing with right now!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My takeaway is to make sure I know what time zone my calendar is showing me, meara. That was my mistake in setting the call up.

Our wings are not tired.
The advantages to working from home far outweigh the disadvantages. The one downside is the temptation to have the news playing in the background. Like watching a train wreck. Okay, turning it off before my BP explodes.

Sometimes I need to use my Win10 desktop (which can fit in a pocket) at home and I moved from using a hardware switch for my keyboard and mouse to a software solution and it is awesome. It's like I have one desktop (half-Linux/half-Windows) that spans two computers.

The news lately is something. I'd say Trump is going off the rails, but he hasn't been in sight of the rails for a long time now.

Ah yes, that is also a key issue I have dealt with in the past!
Randomly: So we're trying to find some sandwich platters we can use to feed people at our soccer tournament. I went to the local grocery store in person yesterday, because their online form only gave options for type of meat and type of cheese, and I wanted to know if they had vegetarian or vegan options. And the guy was like "Sure, we can do that"...but when I asked for detail, he was like "yeah, lettuce, tomato, and onion". Um. Dude. That is not a vegetarian sandwich, that's just condiments. I can't feed that to someone!

Ha, yeah, I've run into that kind of "vegetarian sandwich". My poor mom famously was served bread and pickles for lunch at one deli when we were traveling. She doesn't even like pickles, so that was not good at all.
