Still do quiet, like record quiet. I feel like I'm missing something.

We will never tell...

I mean, how far are you from the ocean?

More important, how far are you from the sushi place?

No. I don't care how close you are to the sushi place if you live in a place where fresh fish is not actually fresh.

/me glares at St Louis

This. Sushi in Seattle? Awesome. Sushi in Denver? Ehhhhh. Maybe not so much.

Chicago is generally good also. Because it is brought in fresh in quantity due to a large Japanese population here. In the 60's and 70's many Japanese companies opened offices here because it is "central"

Kroger has a "fresh" Sushi bar that I have never gotten sick from. Granted it is not Gas Station sushi, so there is still an upside.

Debating lunch or ordering groceries , but I will still need lunch....

Do I dare trust Sushi delivery?

Also....
Why does Netops and Sysops teams always seem to be oil and water? Sure does put the CIO in a bad spot trying to play babysitter.

Amazon Subscribe and Save of TP and Paper Towels, before any of this pandemic even started. More is ordered than I actually use, so I have a nice stock. So I had extra and I did not need to be the horders going to the store.

I found two packages of 24 rolls of TP under my guest bath sink.

Winning!

Anyone ever heard of / used R1Soft server backup? Looks like it was preinstalled on a couple of newly leased cloud servers (windows) the boss set up, very mixed reviews.

Heard of it, yes. Used it, no.

ditto

@Grey said in Weekend Plans:

@travisdh1 I got my wall mount made by a company called Cheetah. It was like $20 on amazon.

I am using the same to hold up a 32'' LCD TV in my Office. Just the Tilt one.
I spent way more money on the one for my 4k 55'' in my Living Room. Tilt and Extend.

Same plans for all other recent weekend. Try and take over the world..........from home....again.....

Why didn't MS ever fix the extend filesystem bug that you have to use diskpart for on 2012 R2?
Extend volume (Exchange) OK
Unsupported Operation, ugh, Damnit, forgot
open command prompt and do the diskpart magic...

/rant.

@nadnerB said in Random Thread - Anything Goes:

I can beat that.....
Meeting between internal IT departments.....I was running the meeting and screen sharing and the conversation was going sideways.
Open up Slack on my active screen being shared and start steering it to rant about the other dept. Coworker came over to my desk waving his hands trying to get my attention.
D'OH!!
I caught flak for that for a week and I still think they have a grudge.

The things that make you scream in your sleep!

Oh wow, calculating the jobs for Agents vs Sockets. My CIO would ask me if I would like to keep my job.
Nevermind, nothing to see here...

30 days until renewal.
We have a mix of Sockets and Instances.
My gut says we just Keep a small amount of sockets since they are cheaper. I am thinking Instances would be better since the agent is portable. We are moving Datacenters coming up and I am not wanting to stick with HyperV. The 1.5 Licenses per server kinda sucks though.
Plus counting on HyperV to do our backups have been meh.

Sockets or Instances?

Site 1 - Run new wire for payphone
Site 2 - Add extended monitor on camera system to new POS counter
Site 3 - Meet contractor to spin up new DEF dispenser
None of these tasks are overwhelming. Just takes up the whole day.

PayPhone? really? Did we time travel back to the early 90's?

Writting up reminder topics for a call with a company helping us with a Large overhaul that is one of the Life Bloods of our company.
Watching A Team movie in the background.
Storage Motioning a File Server for a sister company.

Finally got a sysop helper, just dropped him off to do the paperwork after the tour. Brian can start to sleep better in a few weeks.
