/Sigh.
FML . Boss lady had a Coin Changer in her office for over 1 year. She gave it to me maybe a month ago. I had the coin changer working on the POS system Lab I have in the office in 45 minutes total (this was 2 weeks ago) so I did some documentation on it and passed it on to the tech i was working with.
We sent them a new cable to put on their existing Coin Changer (same POS system as my lab), 2 weeks ago, Apparently this call was passed onto me without me being on the email that passed the buck to me.
So now I'm putting out a fire on a client I've never worked with directly while taking the responsibility for this issue cause the other tech stopped responding to emails..
am I wrong to be Pissed off at this? - Maybe I'm over reacting to it. .Nope, that's more than enough reason to be pissed off.
This is why I'm pretty much always 'pissed off'... That and it's the middle of the day, so why don't we just 'turn on Azure User Risk and sign in Risk Policies'

It gets worse. Today I work with someone who I had to get on site - not my boss , me. and then was told that I need to just ship them a new coin changer because there's obviously doesn't work (i got it to work on Serial.. today.)
Waiting for my lab to finish loading up so I can play with this some more. -
Trying to wrap up the day, was a long yesterday 8AM to 11PM, then today at 7:45 to now. Trying to cut out in the next hour or two.

trying to not repeatedly smash my head against the open frame rack in the other room... OH - My - Lord! Such the 'This is the way it was always done' mentality.
(counts number of physical PRIs and DiD per PRI,...) I just,..
And then there is this:
Due to license violation, access to Director will be locked in 38 days. Take proper action before the grace period has expired. Note that there are additional charges if you need to recover from a locked Director. -
trying very hard to keep positive. This coin dispenser situation / issue isn't getting any better and I'm beyond lost.

Always good to keep it current, never know when the opportunity to use it will present itself.

Just doing some really simple math on the cost savings of switching to the paid version of LibreOffice compared to Microsoft 365 Apps for Business (literally just the office suite).
$2,720 vs $15,840 annually.
Or simply put for just an office suite $13,120 a year in savings for an office of 160 people.
Mind blown.

No, we are using these solutions but I was simply curious what the savings is.

There is. Its the recommended solution for businesses, specifically to keep the development of LibreOffice going.
And my numbers are actually a bit off, it's ~$19/U/Y for anyone checking my math.
But since the software is FOSS, many organizations are likely using it without support, the LibreOffice team is really urging businesses to get a paid version though.
