Wound up rescheduling my neurologist appointment.  Yeah, the one I've been waiting three months for since getting migraine auras and whatnot.  Dry throat combined with Mr Thermometer continuing to rise (36.4C when I got home, 37.4C when I last checked) means this fox gets to stay home for a little while.

 

Here's hoping I at least have energy to hobby tomorrow, tonight was definitely a wash.  I did make tea though, that counts right?

Sometimes my wife just stuns me. She has a craft booth in four stores right now, two of them at indoor shopping malls. She needs to go refill them before Black Friday hits so her options are today or tomorrow. She picked tomorrow. Why?

 

Our daughter has to go work at 10am tomorrow. So my wife won’t have to move that car. That’s the entire reason! OMG!

 

What’s even funnier is that we will go out to eat tonight, so my daughter will have to move her car anyway!!

ETA: Anne will not be on tomorrow, and there are no streams on Thursday or Friday due to the holiday.

 

In addition to this, there will be no Crow's Nest tonight, and no Miniature's Den stream tomorrow. Anne's morning Tuesday show is the last Reaper stream of the week; normal streams should resume on Monday, November 28th! 🖤

Maybe she or daughter or both are planning to cook instead?  Or there is a plot involving ordering food?

Nah. Tuesday is our family eating out night for two decades now. Kids eat free usually. Course, both are well past the age for free kids meals.

Finally got hacked bank account squared away.

Be advised that Apple One is being used by hackers to steal peoples money.

I do not have, nor have I ever had an account with Apple One.  I don't own any devices capable of using anything they legitimately sell.

On the upside, I was told it would take 7 to 10 days to have my accounts made whole.  Funds were restored this AM.

For those of you traveling tomorrow, have Happy Thanksgiving.

I wish we lived close enough to restaurants to make Tuesday our regular night out.   Other than a Subway, a Hardees and a decent, but expensive Brewpub in town, all our good restaurant choices are 30+ miles away. 

Today was broccoli. 

 

Had a 2 hour training appointment that  lasted 3hrs, 15min, and we were only half way through the material I was supposed to cover when I had to finally call it to an end so I could get lunch before my next appointment.  It should have gone quicker because I had already spent 45 minutes a couple of weeks ago going over some of the same things. 

Got back from lunch and got roped into helping the new guy figure out a bizarre problem that it turns out even the Engineer couldn't solve. Just had to shrug, and come up with a workaround for the customer while engineering sorts it out.  System says a particular 5 digit wash code is both invalid and valid at the same time, so the guy's code doesn't work.  It's an employees code. 

My afternoon appointment was the configuration of the equipment that we had to reship because they lost the ones we shipped three years ago (I believe I mentioned this already), never installed, and lost.   Wanna guess what they found right after they received the replacement parts? Yep, the original parts.  And so now they want to send back the replacement parts and get full credit. They're gonna be pissed when they get hit with a restocking fee. ::):

 

One of the things I mentioned to the two guys I talked to when setting up this appointment yesterday is "Whomever I am working with will need to have the user name and password to access your site router."   Yeah, wanna guess what aborted us from finishing the setup?  Yep, they didn't have it - so 90 minutes into what should have been a 45 minute to an hour appointment, I told them we were done for the day, and they'll need to call me back when they get their network configured with the settings our equipment needs.  By this point, I was ready to throw myself off a cliff, had there been one next to my office. 

My guess is that they'll call back on Thursday (since they're Canadian), and then get mad to find out they'll have to wait until I get back next week.  Boo fricking hoo.

By which time they may be into double digits in the que for those who had problems and phoned them in over the weekend.

It's been years, but hackers got me for over a grand in the Apple Store. When I told my bank about it, first thing I said was "The only thing I've ever owned from Apple is a ipod, never have I owned or liked their computers or phones." & showed them my Samsung S3 phone. It took a week or so, but the cash the hackers stole from me, was put back into my account.

 

Seems funny to have a load on Monday night, but the holiday has tossed this week into the blender. I feel like I should be getting ready for my Weds game right now, but alas not this week. Oh well, I guess a break every now & then helps the enthusiasm for it.
