What Are You Doing Right Now

@scottalanmiller I'd insert another sad but true button here, but I used it above, lol.
I would be making lots of noise if I saw stuff like that happening here (and it may well be, I'm just not privvy to those discussions / decisions yet). I had to do that a few times at my last job and got myself in hot water a time or two (more because of the way I did it than what I did).

Just got surprised by the door to our apartment just opening. Looks like maybe it is the cleaning lady. Unfortunately she speaks zero English and our Spanish is bad at the best of times and our Panamanian Spanish is so much worse than our Castillian!
-
Maybe she can read? Type it out in google and translate it!
Or tell echo! -

Or tell echo!No Echo here, did not fit in the luggage.
That's what we were doing, even with the Google Translate on the phone it was a bit of an effort.
-
Ok, Google. Translate "I need new blankets" into Spanish.
Google's response returns something about shearing sheep to make wool.

Nothing so bizzare, aside from a request from the higher ups. It looks like we will have to have a separate RDS Collection (which means 2 more servers with beefy graphics cards...)
So no technical reasons, just someone who heard a term and repeated it? I wonder how often it wouldn't be better to provide what they need and not what they want and just be coy about it. "Is this what you were looking for?" Since they don't likely know what the words mean and can't tell which is which by looking at it, they might never know that you fixed their issues for them.
That's what we do. All they care about is the end result anyway.

One hopes.

We have a big Central American thunderstorm rolling in. Not sure if it is going to get to us or not. We can see it coming down hard north of the Rio Hato Airport and some to the south on the peninsula. Seems like anything like rain always passes by us here though.

Bring out yer dead!
Some of the unfortunate souls who've given their all for king and country.
Missing from this pic is the massive boxes of HDD's to be shredded that are in the cupboard that this pile of junk is blocking.
-
The vultures circling around here are super cool. Our apartment is right at their median flight height so we really get to watch them up close.
-
That is pretty cool. For about two months last year, there were 4 or 5 that would almost always seem like they were following me and circling, no matter where I went, lol.

@MattSpeller The computers are dead! Long live the Computers!

How did you get into my old office?? holy cow they look like the same things I had stacked in the corner. Dell latitude 500s by the looks of them.

Waiting for @pchiodo to arrive here in the tropics!

@handsofqwerty RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
Actually, it's not so bad. It took about 2 hours on my laptop with plenty of apps loaded on it.

Mine is done. I'm now on 10. I like it so far! I'll have to get used to the new look and feel but I like it. It's zippy!
-
@dafyre I also have an i7, 12GB RAM and an SSD as my boot drive, so I had everything going for me for it to be fast.
-
That shoud be blistering fast. My laptop has 16g of ram, and a 1TB drive. I saw a noticeable improvement, so here's hoping!
