Once again getting ready to watch my Penguins in a Game 7, this time for the ECF against the Ottawa Senators.
Someone hold my hand.
I wish I could watch a hockey game between literal penguins and literal senators. Potential comedy level 10.

The thought of that made me open my wallet involuntarily.

Switching to a new internet connection at the office. That was easy. Getting the Edge Router to Azure VPN back up was challenging. Quick tip that I forgot from last time: Don't use the GUI for a site to site VPN with Azure. GUI fails....CLI wins.

More than 99% of the time lol.

Trying to get my morning stuff knocked out so I can go home and fix my leaking toilet. The joys of home ownership have found me.

Solution ended up being restarting the box that was running IIS. As it couldn't establish a TCP connection to our SQL server. Problem is trying to figure out how to prevent this in the future -- if it can be prevented. Devs and I are very much wading in the dark

My old roommate had just purchased the house we moved into and I had a leek (the vegetable) I had put on top of the toilet. I said "Sean, there's a leak in the bathroom" and he's like "god damn it. already?" goes downstairs and is looking for water, doesn't see the leek on the top of the toilet. "Where is it? I don't see it." I pointed to the leek. He died inside right in front of me and said "You asshole".
I am not a good roommate in that way.

I have an 2008 R2 RDS server that is constantly stupid. I "fixed" the issues it was having by creating a task to reboot it every morning at 4am.
Weird problems resolved enough for me, because the server will be decommissioned in August.

I have a site that refuses to allow the installation of any remote administration software.
User E-mails: One person needs a printer installed.
I drive over and install the printer. I ask her if there were any other people that needed this installed or any other issues that needed my attention, even though our ticketing system is empty. "Nope. Everything is fine." Me: "Are you sure you don't want to check with anyone else?" "I know my employees". Smh, cool.Same User E-mails: Three more people need that same printer installed.
I drive over and install the printers again. I really want to say "I guess you don't know your employees as well as you thought" but I remain professional in my words and actions. I then check again, this time with everyone else.
"Nope nothing". Ok, cool.Same User E-mails: We are having a problem with the scanner
Me: Can you please provide me with more detail? Where are you attempting to scan to? Are you receiving an error message?No reply for the past hour. I absolutely despise people and I would never do this to another human being. I guarantee that there is no actual problem. They say stuff like this when they create a new folder they want to be mapped to in the copier so they can scan to it. Sigh.

Very normal user issues. Still frustrating, but VERY normal.
