2024-04-26 - 1:29 p.m. Well, I guess today is to be mostly a day of rest. I was tired this AM Slept in ( awoke 8smish. 6:30 my normal biorhythm wake up when get yo bed at me preferred time by 10pm, sometimes even a bit earlier if tired after a busy work day. π΄ Using the Brain can be more exhausting than physical activity sometimes.annoying
Tried to set up myself rather than call company I support and spend their money on the help desk. I saw that contract years ago abd know they are expensive. Try to be mindful of not using resources if don't need to. I nean energy in any respect. Mine or others, right- use wisely, efficiently. I shut off lights when not in the room. Total aside: my kid who is energy conscious as evidenced by her choice to sleep and only expend energy when ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY is freaked out out tenant leaves the lights on. I leave him alone about it. It's his space. Rented to him fir his use only; not ours- including utilities and of fir his comfort for whatever reason he chooses to leVe lights on - so be it; as I am not one to fictste how PTHERS choose to live. I mean within certain parameters. Like no drugs were in my lease I think. But the lease does not include guidelines of shutting of lights if nkt in tge room... It's HIS home, not ours as far as I am concerned when it comes to the basement apt.
who I have FIVE..yes 5 Agreements to draft and send out. None are late ; but all are ones I woukd have LIKED to have first drafts done YESTERDAY But...investing time to get really well set up for other clients. Put time into BD last couple weeks And. Worked for other client ( seriously owner is my personal hero)... She sweetly sent msg hearing I was " very sick" and hoping well. Not really " very sick" but yeah....not delivering work to that client that I want to dig in and do as VERY reluctant to go into their system until I have SOLID SECURE FIREWALL
I ordered one I had a couple documents to review and get back so wanted those deliverables done in timely fashion for their CM BEFORE messing around with password resets and logging into a new machine. Did not want a lock out and slow down. One more doc for them should have reviewed this AM but no...FIRST I figured tackle the new computer set up ...again. Now this is after I DID cave and call their help desk. But, now thus is RIDICULOUS- when called them I was at home and for the life of me COUMD nkt find the freaking router Password. Of all the damn constraints I felt like a fool waking my disabled, sleeping teen to ask her to confirm Of course I had some version of it sorta in memory π yup with flipped numbers But she too was not good at its recall And despite however late in day, she was non functional on the moment.
But of course, when need it , the index card was not on its hidemden spot .
So ridiculous. I swear I prefer working IN an office. If I am successful enough I think I world like to rest office space. Hell maybe it's time. I has a great offer a couple years ago in a coworking office and maybe it's a possibility π€. But I woukd likely be shleping three laptops back and forth. Coffee shops with the secure VPN are likely sufficient.
I get so not worried But then a week of my connection not working ONLY when I have a client call and I get freaked again.
It never goes away. We who have it live through it and work despite it. Some better than others. That company is incredible. When manic that CEO just becomes on fire π₯ abd it's wild to see how many sales are made on a couple if weeks of mania. The team rally and figures out how to support: hires to scale as needed. Ha ha It's been a successful business model. Not even kidding. A couple brilliant engineers with solid product they own IP of and it's a solid company. So today I spent a few hours and THOUGHT all was good with my new machine. I just imported profile from my business laptop that had the client log in wanted. Then I wiped it of everything BUT that log in. Deleted everything could. All the bookmarks for anything non work related to work do in that company support. Closes help desk tix; thanked tech dude and told him " all good". BUT I had not listened to his instructions on how to set up the new computer. He had given me a dummy log in Microsoft sets up for such use; to get into and set up a new computer. You change the password on it and never use it after you are in machine and can access internet. I can log into the co.pany from the on line Microsoft portal into their drives. I was just hitting the first computer set up constraint of it wanting a ms log in and it not recognizing the company issued one; which yes exists; but gave msg " Username does not exist " Wrong It exists Bit could not be uses to set up a machine not owned as asset of the company. Think blocked by THEIR firewall? Or something.... I should have listened to him. He said the ms issued fake user log in might not work. BUT I dud not as realized I voukd set up with my Own profile ( my personal one) and just NEVER log into Anything else and delete it all, and I should be OK. This also would entail deleting the redundant back up log in for the other company I support. While prefer to use only the OTHER dedicated computer I like the redundancy. But I figured once port and update on BOTH devices I could re-set up thst log in fir bsck up ONLY on my Business work machine in another browser-say Firefox. One not used for anything else and still have redundant back up access if the primary machine used for that client ever fails. So I swear I put off drafting this AM ( can work later today/ tonight or Mon. It is what it isπ€· ) just to get set up for this client And then Successfully logged in on this new machine All the crap pushed Figure log off Going to review one doc to redline and flip back after getting my own purchased security software and VPN on But as looking up my pw for that acct to install it Log bsck on And lo and behold ot starts to log in with The damn email of OTHER Client !@@ WHAT?? It did not work.. Sigh. Three hrs wasted Not billable time. Sigh Ok break up. Back to OTHER work machine to knock of some work and draft a couple of the new agreements due bto them, then will try again. Frustrating
Apparently not. It is exhausting bring mindful of security settings. Also aggravated to see freaking McAfee Vault. No I don't want to set that up and save files in your spammy company McAfee server. Remember deleting from desktop does not delete files. One has to disable the freaking spammy connection that autosaves the files in that 3rd party server. I just wanna be able to do good work with peace of mind my client's files are secure , private and protected ; and peace of mind I can connect securely to client meetings as well. Good news: Used to these funky issues periodically Par for the course so roll with it. Back to work after a nice walk while writing. οΏ½ οΏ½ |
