I went straight to the high school this morning, unannounced. That meant I arrived early enough that I didn’t see another soul for several minutes. I texted Jim to see where he was, and he eventually showed up after I had rummaged through Kyle’s office looking for some network ports. Jim and I went up to look at a couple of his tickets, and then we settled in the library again. I was there all day, quickly tweaking my task sequence to try and resolve the domain trust issue, as well as the driver issue after the OS deployment.
Kyle asked about lunch, and I found a place near us called Mr. Cajun’s Kitchen that everyone agreed to. We had one of the biggest lunch crews we’ve had, including Randy, Maggie, Jay, Kyle, Jim, and myself. Most of us got the blackened chicken and shrimp pasta at the recommendation of the girl at the counter, and it was super good. The lunch portion was a little bit small, but Maggie gave me her leftovers. Everyone really liked it, so that was a second win for my lunch suggestions.
The afternoon went by pretty quickly after that. Kyle came by to check out a possible DNS issue I found, but then didn’t really know what any of the forward lookup zones meant. I guess it’s an opportunity for me to learn more about the networking side since he doesn’t seem to have any interest. Jim left before I did, so I got a little bit lost trying to find my way out, but I eventually did.
The drive home was pretty raw and I got a bit jittery without anything to focus on. I took Muad’Dib out for a run to decompress as soon as I got home, but I cut us a block short to avoid some traffic. We visited Dad for a little while before making it home to Summer. She wanted to sit on the porch for a bit, so I sat with her there until she started asking about my day. That sparked a difficult conversation that we took inside, and eventually just had to step away for a bit until we both made it to bed.
Not me, feeling all these feelings!
