Setting up a new Win10 build. Had testbench speakers turned way up from listening to music previously. Apparently Cortana vocally walks you through the initial OS setup now. Juuuuuuuuust about had a heart attack when the voice came on.

Went to bed way too late and woke up waaaaay too late. In fact, I just woke up an hour and a half ago. **yawn**.

I think the #1 thing I hate most in the world is being tired. It's just awful. Dragging through a day is no way to live :(

goes back to posting at midnight

Last night I lied down on the couch with my blanket and along comes the cat, jumps up on me and starts cushioning my balls with his two front paws. I moved him away and then he climbs up on my chest, turns around and puts his butt in my face. It's like he was saying, "this is what you get." Little bastard. LOL

Checking the visa...the wife spent $311 at dollar general. How the heck do you spent that much at dollar general? And she's not answering her phone.

After years of directing employees to set up sharepoint sites for every freaking little project or idea (better handled through thoughtful creation of shared directories), corporate IT has noticed that the sharepoint server is a mess where it is impossible to find anything. The proposed solution is to simply delete all sharepoints and the contents therein by the end of next week. Now employees are scrambling to remember the names of the sites they created in order to salvage project documents. :D Being the Luddite that I am, I never saw the point of sharepoint and never created a site.

Come to find out there was a kind of silent recall on the receiver I had, so it'll be shipped out for free repairs. Good job Onkyo, I just wish you had more than the one trade in option that was sold out...I might have considered going with a new unit then. Now just crossing my fingers that it all goes well, it's old enough that the other electronics could be worn out and fail shortly after getting it's current issue fixed.

Went to check the PO BOX for a shipped item but it was not there yet. Slow USPS.

I just got home from work and I need to poop. If it had hit like half an hour earlier I could have done it on company time. My cat is now on my lap purring away so I can't get up to go do it.

I'm in the same boat, I ordered some transistors off Amazon but the projected date is later this month but I keep hoping they arrive early. I only ordered from there because I did not want to spend the $8 shipping from Digikey, but at least with Digikey they would be here within a day or two. I'm tired of waiting since I want to clear my workbench but have to wait for these dang things to show up. It's for my nephew's hoverboard and it's all laid out so I don't really want to move it until I can put it back together.

I like cats but I like puppers more what do?

Pound for pound there's nothing tougher than a cat. They're also far quieter, far less needy, far cleaner, smarter, and just as trainable as a dog.
Could always get one of each though.
