Connected into a site this morning, going to do some changes for a couple things - no biggie.
Open file explorer and it says ther's 15gb of 450 available.
So now instead of doing what I originally was going to be doing, Now i'm doing disk clean up and freeing up more space - at least its hump day.
Yeah. Too bad it's ONLY hump day. Just got out of a 2 hour meeting. Oy.
@PhlipElder said in Why have mass shootings increased - you thoughts?:
Guns don't kill people. People kill people and with all manner of devices.
I don't think it could be said any better than that... I mean anything that's not bolted down is potentially a murder weapon.

Anyone else lucky enough to get a Steam Deck? I just got mine recently and am loving it. It's the perfect size and has the usual Valve polish.
I've seriously considered one. Just haven't been able to bring myself to pull the trigger yet.

just finished a site upgrade to a newer version to fix a kitchen printing issue. Today is going so slow.
The slowness for me was Tuesday. Ugh. Yesterday and today have gone faster.
Today is dragging because I'm looking forward to 1:00pm lol
2 hours to go (until 1pm) for me. Sadly, I came in at 5am and won't get off until 5pm. Urgh.
3 ish hours for me.. gotta love Central Time.
5am? ? had to put some fires out?
Patch day for me..... 5a to 7a ... all week long. We usually don't do anything on the weekends... Today was my turn, so I did vCenter updates this go round.
Nice
Eehhhh..... VMswear updates make me nervous these days. They still haven't fixed a couple of issues before this one, so we'll see.
software updates in general have always been a little bit of a Caution flag.. at least to me
Yeah. Between our IDP, Microsoft, and VMware the last few months, we've been taking it going and coming.

Letter of resignation has been submitted.
Sweet! Congratz on the new job! When do you start it?

Yeah. I'm still in the beginning of the story. Just got to the church with the guy in tow, lol.
Have you already played Morrowind or Skyrim? Or are you just starting your Elder Scrolls journey?
I've played Skyrim -- it was a lot of fun. I somehow wound up with the Steam VR version too. It's a lot of fun to play on a VR headset.
And yeah RIGHT at the beginning of Oblivion, lol.

Realizing that being at the right company makes all the different for what you do and how much you do. This company in a week has been 1000x better. I'm truly hoping it says this way - but I've been much happier and not dreading going to work for the last4 days has made such improvements to my psyche.
This. So much this. If you are in a job you hate, then it is time to start planning your exit.
Glad you found you a place that looks like it is going to work out great! Is your new job a WFH job?

Nice! That'd make an incredible perk.

Just got done walking my daughter’s german shepherd puppy. Man these dogs have so much energy!
Hop on a bicycle, strap a leash to the dog, and hold on tight, lol.
Even at 6 months, my dog was able to pull me on a bicycle until *I* got tired, lol. He would then proceed to collapse on the floor after we got home, lol.
Workday is already in full swing, lots of fun tickets to deal with. Been a whole bunch of oddball requests lately.
Still working on coffee #3.

Comp day failure
I had forgotten I signed up for a VMWare training on a day I chose as a comp day.
oops. I hate it when that happens!

First evening shift - 2 hours left, I can't even begin to explain how much better this company is
Was anyone even a little surprised?
Looks at all the circkets.
Guess not, lol.

It has suddenly become autumn in the south! Which will be even better when I get to Asheville NC later. Going to see WEEN tomorrow night, but we're making a weekend of it. Mid 50s F at night.... I'm ready!
Best to enjoy it while it lasts, lol.
@RojoLoco said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
We had a little cold front roll through the south last night. Had to bring all the plant babies inside, and then got to enjoy that distinct aroma of turning the heat on for the 1st time in 8 months. And we have a freeze warning for the next couple of days. Stay tuned for more 80F days coming soon.
27F tonight, 87F degrees tomorrow. lol.
@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
Man, being on an international team is hard. Today daylight savings (summer time) ended in the Yucatan. But Nicaragua doesn't have summer time. And the US doesn't change for a few weeks. We go through like six different sets of time zone situations every year, It's insane.
Ha ha ha. This is probably where the phrase "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" originates.

I'm going to go with this being factual. It's not like anything on the Internet is made up or anything
Had a FL Warden grab me and pull me back from what I was doing. I'd crossed over the little 1.5" or 2" bar that was about 3" off the ground so looked more like a suggestion than an actual DO NOT GO HERE type of thing.
There was a good 6' to 7' or more 'gator lying there that I wanted to get some pics of.
I'm sure if he could he would have called me a fucking ID10T right there but he was pretty polite about it. My buddy just stood there laughing. He was probably waiting for the bite. Bugger ...
Your buddy was waiting on the gator to get you... At that point, HE would have been the one taking pictures.

@WrCombs sounds like it might have died. Do you have a Linux box to plug it into? If so, plug in and do a lsblk and lsusb and see what shows up.
I do not, at the moment but I have an old PC in my work area I can throw linux on and try that. I just heard it beep a whole bunch so I think your right.
I'll have to work on that another time, but Thank you!
You can also boot from a LiveUSB or Installer and they should have lsblk and lsusb, I'd think.
But I'm leaning towards dead as well.
