Condolences, Sharoth. If nothing else, at least she's no longer suffering.

I'm so sorry, Sharoth. I'm terrible at finding the right words for things like this, so I'll keep it to a simple .
Sharoth, I'm sorry. Go do what you need to do as soon as you can.
Please accept my condolences, Sharoth.

Today's word: Obfuscate.
Nothing to do with anything, just a fun word to use.
And a Skyrim Shout, as well.

I am sorry to hear that Sharoth.
You have my sincere condolences, and my prayers for you and your family at this difficult time.
Have I mentioned lately just how much I despise Windows 10?
As usual, last night I ran Strange Aeons, so I pulled my laptop out, enabled wireless, Windows 10 kept grabbing the weakest-possible signal, so it took us 15 minutes to get started as I had to manually force Windows 10 to connect to the wireless with the strongest signal instead of using the one I'd most recently used. Really? More recent trumps stronger? In what universe do your developers live, Microsoft?
This morning I put my laptop back under my desk to start work. So of course it ignored the hardwired connection and I had massive network issues because from under the desk behind the steel file cabinet it couldn't get a strong connection to any wireless hubs. Because we all know that using a hardwired connection just isn't done.
I cannot believe that every time I move my laptop I have to turn wireless on or off manually, then manually select the network because Windows 10 does it so poorly.
Really, Microsoft? THIS is your flagship product?

And while I'm venting, FFS, co-workers, can't you even do your simple jobs?
Two years ago during handoffs, the production team screwed up our numbering fields. We were all given action items to manually fix the fields as of our next release. It's been at least four releases since then.
And yep, you guessed it: The moron whose practices I'm testing never got the memo, so I'm manually fixing fields that should have been fixed over a year ago!

I asked a user "Have you gotten migrated to the new system yet?"
She may as well have replied with "I like flowers."

Woohoo! Finals done. Now that I’m out of a political philosophy class hopefully my friends and family won’t run for the hills every time they see me coming. That class was not kind to my mental health.
NobodysHome: Overwrite the existing files with your changes. I have all the originals locally in case of disaster
Tester: "I can't get started! You don't have versioning turned on so if I try to upload I'll overwrite your files!"

Is this a custom image? Work image? Standard out of the box image? I never have this problem. Of coures, I build a custom image myself as any OS you buy pre-installed comes with a lot of crap and bloatware (just like phones)

this is usually what I insert when any of you complain about your jobs, as what you do makes no sense to me.

I'm still on Win8 here, but I've lost track of the number of times I've said something along the lines of "Win8, stop helping".

Captain Yesterday: Are you trying to obfuscate how much we have left to do?
Co-worker: The truth, you can't obfuscate the truth!!
Captain Yesterday: I guess that's why the rest of my family are in politics and I'm covered in mud. Worth it!

Locked my keys in my car.
I did that, once.
I stopped locking my car after that.

well shit. I'm sorry man.
The good news is my insurance comes with roadside assist so I can just call them after work to come open it up for me.
Still, irritating.

Yeeeaaaaah I wouldn't want to do that here.
God, do I hate MAP testing.
I'd say, "Ah, teenagers," but I'm well aware this is an issue throughout all ages: The girls on the trip really wanted to order sweatshirts, and I told them I didn't want to pay for them this year, so I wouldn't let them use my card unless they promised to pay me back.
And yes, a month later only one person has paid me back: The person who wasn't even in the car when they made the promise!!!
So I texted them a polite note.
But my approach to life is simple: I'll front you the money once, ever. If they don't pay me back this year, they'll never get to order shirts again. Not my problem...

She was given written instructions. They included pictures. There was no math involved. There was barely anything they had to do, other than a copy/paste.
Really, the only way the migration could have been made easier on her is if she were fired before going through it.
Well, my afternoon just got easier. Showstopper issue in the practices I'm testing, and the guy doesn't get back from vacation 'til Monday.
Yeah, I still have a bunch of cleanup to do on my own labs, but I'm no longer under the gun to do testing...

If there's something of value in my car it's news to me. Even the CDs in there are burned mix CDs.
Shoot, the car itself has more sentimental value then street value.

Sounds like they put in some 'helpfull features' that either were not tested properly, or were not tought out at all.

Roadside assistance is on the way. Insurance app even has a button for it that basically lets me send all the necessary info eithout actually talking to a person. Yay!
Hour wait though. At least it's nice out.

I strongly suspect it's "European Windows" vs. "U.S. Windows" rather than anything else. Everyone I know who has a Windows 10 laptop has wireless connectivity issues, no matter what brand nor where it came from.
My son, with a store-bought MSI laptop, gets the exact same behavior as I do. When his friends come over, they have the same issues. We've all just gotten accustomed to disabling our laptops' wireless adaptors the moment we plug in...

We're done with our job, start a new one on Monday.
The boss was so happy with it he hired a professional photographer to come out and take pictures.
I'd say that's a job well done. :-)
Woohoo! Finals done. Now that I’m out of a political philosophy class hopefully my friends and family won’t run for the hills every time they see me coming. That class was not kind to my mental health.
All my family does at family gatherings is debate political philosophy.
That or Star Wars vs Star Trek, or how awesome Firefly was, and that there's an online petition to bring it back.

So this may be as obsolete as my car, but back when I was a AAA member they had a service where they'd cut your key into a plastic card the size of a credit card, but maybe 1.5x as thick.
I got one done for the Celica, and 18 years later that stupid plastic key can still open the door. And you carry it in your wallet with your driver's license, so it's pretty much impossible to lock yourself out of your car unless you lock both your wallet and keys in at the same time. (Sorry, ladies! 'Cause I know purse-stranding is a thing.)

I'll have to see if I can get that done around here.

part of me wants to crash your family gatherings. If I do, make sure Vany or Nobodyshome are there. We may need video evidence and I can't be me and hold a camera without a selfie stick.

Sorry for your loss Sharoth.
I've never jumped to do a pull up, and I love pull-ups.
