Bummer!

lilnl and the mr finished my dresser into a bench and shoe storage thing. It looks awesome.
I still haven't bought my laptop. Called a couple of places and got none of the answers I needed or wanted. Sigh.
Had the start up meeting for this semester. I now manage to expect the lack of attention to detail but it still is way to weird for me.

Every time I've bought a laptop, I state exactly what I use it for and tell the salesperson to sell me on something. I "neglect" to tell them any research I've done, to see if they actually know what they are talking about. Basically, I play dumb. If they sound like they are on the ball, I then offer more info on what I know.

Evening, Lodge. It's nasty humid here, and will be for the next two days, before nice weather sets in. Feels weird this year without the State Fair. :( Kinda hard to believe that summer is almost over.
 
Went to do something non-work related for a bit before my 11:00am conference call. Looked at the clock, saw it was 11:02, freaked out a bit. Ran back to my laptop, logged into the meeting all set to apologize profusely for being a little late. Business partner IMs me to say "Sorry! Running a few minutes late." Ha ha!! Oh, no worries at all. :)

That is what I usually do too. Unfortunately what I want to but is no longer manufactured. Apparently everyone thinks I want multiple c drives and I don't

Good morning Lodge (central time bias)!

Had our start up meeting for teaching this semester. It would be really nice if they gave any sort of guidance on how to teach what I am teaching via zoom. You would think they might offer some sort of guidance unless you knew how they operated. When I asked the response was shock that I would ask. Not that I didn't know but that this was something that I would want to know. THese chicks are very focused on what content they want to present but have zero thought about the importance of how it gets presented
Sigh.
 
As if I wasn't already worried enough for my family with Texas and Houston being corona hotspots, now they have to deal with a hurricane?
My nieces never did get to return to their elementary school after Hurricane Harvey flooded it. They and their classmates had been going to a different building with all the Kolter students and staff. Now they get to start middle school virtually and deal with another hurricane.

Oh my! That is scary and sad!

Good evening Lodge!
I finally bought my laptop. I got a really excellent guy on the help line- I could have talked to him all night- he sounded like a dude from California

Love when you get good tech support. The last time I called, "We'll help you back to internetting."
Me, in my head: He speaks the language......
 
Looks like Houston is gonna be ok as the hurricane went East of them. Good for my family, not good for the people in Louisiana.

Trying to prep for a job interview. Not sure how this will go, as it's for my manager's former position and the interviewers include 3 people I already work with, they already know what I'm capable of, and I'm already doing the job. Talked to my manager about it and asked if she had any experience with this, did she have to interview for the divisional manager position they gave her? No, she didn't, they just told her 'we want you to do this now'. Makes me a little angry that I have to interview and they didn't just give me the promotion.

If they find someone more qualified than I am, I'm ok with that. I don't think they will. I hope they do, because then my department will be closer to the right head count, whereas if I'm selected, then we need to backfill my position.
 
Good luck wT!! Sending positive vibes your way.

Was having breakfast this morning and saw a moving truck pull up. Three guys got out to start moving someone in. Not one was wearing a mask. The management company put signs up around the building a few weeks ago (at the entrances, in the lobby, in the elevators) to wear masks. I can understand a little more if they were moving someone into a house, but this is a building with many residents and common areas. Why the company itself doesn’t require their employees to wear masks when entering a building like this is beyond me. I emailed the management company. I know there’s probably not much they can do. I also sent the moving company a message on Facebook Messenger. They have all their safety protocols listed in a post and their movers weren’t following them.

Took today and tomorrow off. Waiting for a plumber to come in for an estimate. He better have a mask on. I have disinfectant spray at the ready to spray around my condo for after he leaves.

Thanks.

When we moved at the end of April the moving company was not requiring their workers to wear masks. We were moving from one single family residence to another, so a different situation. We were able to keep windows open and tried to keep at least 6' from everyone.
 
Good Evening Lodge!

Glad the folks in TX are OK. They really missed the prediction on this one. I know they are saying with less planes in the air they have less ability to predict. We were supposed to go to Maine for the weekend because it was going to be nice. Now it is going to be 65 and rain. Taking a pass.

That's a bunch of BS. When I last visited my parents, they had a Comcast visit scheduled. Not only did he wear the mask, but we all did also, AND kept the 6-foot distance when having a conversation. He also explicitly stated thanks on us wearing masks, he said it was rare in his area.
