This week felt short. Oh, yeah. I had Monday off. It was short.

Pesky receptacle... always does this! πŸ˜‹

#IT tip: if you aren't required to use your work account, do not use your work account.

Some times I like to tip back in my office chair and balance between sitting up straight and fully reclined. I put my feet in the air and pretend my headset cord is the lifeline connecting me to my space capsule. "Ground Control to Major Tom..."

Did another "random snack raid in the Asian grocery" trip over the weekend, and I have to say, variations on chicken recipe flavored chips are an under explored space in American snacks.

User is mad after failing to follow clear directions given two hours ago. No, your issue is not resolved. I've never wanted to send somebody a phone transcript so bad in my life. #IT

What I'm finding with the loss of my father is all the previous losses hit a little harder when I recall them. Friends, grandparents, cousins... It's as though every passing re-opens the previous wounds just a little.

The community population my #IT job serves is just a bit over 10,000. The few hundred ticket we process in a week represents 2 to 5 percent of the population. More than 6% would be a significant spike. This post is for me. It's to maintain perspective.

Easter or whatever. It’s 4/20.

This about finding new music is so incredibly true. All my recent favorite music I discovered through apps, YouTube, and social media algorithms.

I know I sound like a broken record, but the disconnect between how I understand and use email as a tool and how some end users do is... South Pacific vast. #IT V A S T I tell you.

User: What do I do? #IT: The same thing you did last time. U: Oh, I didn't bother to remember. And then IT does NOT say, "oh well I guess!" Because, in spite of User's apathy, we'll help them.

Is having to enter the Windows registry for anything the #IT equivalent of a stripped bolt?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you even suspect some one is posting AI generated content or re-posting art with out attribution... you can block them. No questions asked. Just do it. You don't have to engage.

Happy Friday to all those able to celebrate it. To the rest of you...

New Work Mouse Day

What would you put on an #IT call center bingo card? "Give directions to a delivery driver for an IT package" "Call a non-IT office to let in a delivery" "Caller who insists you represent an organization that is not your organization" "Caller who has the 1st 1/2 of your url right, but not the 2nd"

Untitled Update One I've mentioned it before - and I promise this isn't becoming a grief blog - but, my Dad died January 3rd. My professional life is also taking more processor time than it ever has before. I love my work (most days... today is testing my faith in humanity, but it's just one day).…

I am annoyingly proud of the "question zero" I added to a FAQ being further refined. Everyday since I suggested it another small refinement. All because I suggested we define a term at the very beginning of the FAQ.

It is Tuesday. The energy is short attention span Friday. This is a problem.

The first original short I made with these art bros, which was actually a project for myself to make a quick casual film entirely in Blender, which we all know is a FREE software! This was also my first project to let loose and be an idiot, something I haven't done in forever!

I got to use the words "jabbering nuisance" in a sentence today, so you know, good day.
