Timelies all!
The company that makes the piece of equipment I was concerned about sent someone out today to work on it, and it is working now. So relieved. (They are going to send someone else out to train us on maintenance, which makes sense.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad to hear that, Sheryl!
I hope the wedding and all that travel works out ok, Laura

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Guys, just heard a crazy and upsetting story (so feel free to skip,if you don't want to read something like that). We had a neighbor who lived catty-corner from our old house in North Hollywood. He was in his 40s and lived with his mom, who died while we lived there. He Had grown up in the house and made a living by selling stuff on eBay and seemed to be doing okay. Always friendly and smiling. Well, the police came a few days ago and took a bunch of computers and stuff from his house. He told a couple of neighbors that there was child porn on them, and then he went back in the house and committed suicide. Yikes. YIKES.

I'm sorry Scrappy. Sadly I have known several terrible stories like this.

I hope I didn't kill the thread by coming in with a dark story. I'm just kind of flabbergasted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
That's the problem with life. Weird, unexpected stuff happens, good and bad, and it's often best to get it out there to get past it..

Laura, are you under quarantine for entering NY from Florida?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, Scrappy, that is upsetting.
Supposedly using another person's single-use bathroom is pretty safe, actually, as long as everyone washes their hands. But personally I have been appreciating how Covid is forcing all of us to limit entertaining to 2 hours in order to avoid the issue!
This will definitely be more than two hours, so we'll just hope for the effective handwashing!
I was like "um, it't not an app - it's a website - that is confusing - we should change it in our presentations" to my boss and team. Big boss said it is the term OIT is using!?!?!?!?
People call everything an app now, and it's so weird! I don't know.

They even call stuff "apps" that are just programs running on microcomputers! Very annoying.
