Which means that my tasks ranges from network layout schemes, Server deployment, VPN deployments and long list of task. Due to the Covid outbreak i got an extra task, that is to help employees to work from their houses and is not easy for most of them..... Some folks have a real hard to time adapting to home office and most of the time the employers will think that the employee is doing that on purpose to the point of firing employees with years and years working with them... |

No comment that can be censored is worth making, so just grab your musket and extra balls and powder, and head for higher ground. 🤠

On a lighter note..
A duded-up city rider walks into a seedy tavern in Sturgis , SD. He sits
at the bar and notices a grizzled old biker with his arms folded, staring blankly at a full bowl of chili. After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the newbie rider bravely asks the old biker, 'If you aren't going to eat that, mind if I do?' The old veteran of a thousand rides slowly turns his head toward the young pup and says, 'Nah, you go ahead.' Eagerly, the guy wearing the shiny new leather fashions reaches over and slides the bowl into his place and starts spooning it in with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom of the bowl and notices a dead mouse in the chili. The sight was very shocking and he immediately barfed up the chili back into the bowl. The old biker quietly says, 'Yep, that's as far as I got, too.'

I can understand having issues with adapting to a different work environment, but still have dialup? Sheesh.. Were these people still using a rotary phone? As for people in my office switching to a WFH environment, other than the initial VPN setup, I don't think anyone had any issues... I will say this, about working from home. I 1st started doing it around 20 years ago.. the 1st couple year was the worst, and it's still annoying at times. What I mean is that when working from home, I don't do squat other than work or stare at my monitor. When I'm in the office, I've got people stopping by, end up talking with others at the water cooler and what not. At least once a week, some dept is having a social gathering with food for whatever reason. When home, even if I have everything done, I don't leave my PC other than for coffee and bathroom breaks. I think I get about 3x as much done from home than I do when in the office. |

I'm not getting into the above conversation because I'm mostly retired and am really happy about that lol. But I too know the pain of living in the sticks without service. I was using a signal boosting antenna mounted over my cabin, but it wasn't much of an improvement. So in June I finally got DSL Wifi. The reason I hadn't before was they only offered it in a bundle package that included phone and TV, and after a year they would jack it up to $200 a month.
But I found out that as long as your guns and are adamant that you only want DSL (the sales rep offered me about 15 different packages and rebates because they want to be able to raise the price eventually) you can get it for $50 a month and that's locked in for life. It's 72mbps and huge improvement over what I had before. And I got Netflix, Prime video with HBO and Starz etc. The only trouble I'm having now is with generosity. My sister lives nextdoor with her man and ofcourse wanted the wifi password, which I agreed to with the stipulation that they go easy on it in the evenings when I want to watch movies. Well they've been getting a little greedy and streaming movies over there as well in the evenings. Add on to that my niece Gabriella coming down on the weekends and I usually have one of my lady friends over the system is getting severely taxed. I had a little sitdown with them lastnight and if things don't change in the evenings im gonna change the password. One thing I did do was connect the TV and Blu Ray player directly to the router/modem with 4k cables so I'm mostly getting the lion's share of the precious internet. The struggle is real out here in the sticks lol.

He has dsl available. Another guy lives around him and got it and has been good. He just refused to call and get it set up because wanted me to do it for him. Why he went with one of the mom and pop point to multi point wifi providers is beyond me. He gets 10/10mbps which is more than sufficient. Oh and it doesn't cost him a damn thing because the company is paying for it. Must be nice, i fork out about $180 a month between home internet and having a separate att hotspot along with my vzw phone for work availability that is not reimbursed lol.
I wish i would live to see retirement, aint gonna happen.

My job site in Arkansas was shut down yesterday because we had a worker come down with the beer virus. I don't know if he is in the hospital or sweating/coughing it out at home. Its very hush hush.
-We will resume work at the site within a week. -The good news is that they didn't quarantine us all.

Get this.. I've got a friend of mine who is in a family of 7. Only 2 of the kids are out of the house, but the family is really close.. so they hang out together all the time.
3 of kids got to the beach and party it up at the bars.. Now sure if one or all 3 caught it, but one of them got sick. Got tested and came up positive.. Then the rest of the family gets tested. All 3 end up coming up positive, and my friend, who is the parent comes up positive. The other 3 test negative. Now here's the funny part. Out of the 4, they all had different symptoms. 1 had none, 1 had no taste/smell, 1 had diarrhea, and the last had a light cough and fever. All symptoms disappeared in about a week. They said it was like have a cold.. except the one with diarrhea.. He said it was light food poisoning. Ok, maybe it doesn't read funny, but if you knew those folks, you'd get a laugh.. When they re-tested after the 14 days, they all came up negative. |
