We had an educational meeting this morning, and covered GoGuardian, our prospective replacement for Impero. We were never really satisfied with Impero, though we hardly broke the surface of what it could do. GoGuardian will allow us to give the parents some control over web filtering though, which is something people want in a time when we’re handing foreign technology to children and basically not educating adults enough to manage that responsibility on their own.

After the meeting, we had to unload a pallet of water bottles, which I still don’t drink because we have a filter on the faucet. Then I spent the whole day in my office working on a workaround to run a piece of software for a high school science course.

Mike ended up taking over half a day off when he left early for an eye appointment before lunch. The more I’m around that guy, the shadier the vibes I get. The rest of us went to Mulan’s for lunch together. Greg complained, presumably because they serve vegetables there, and picked up some Sonic on the way back to work.

The afternoon went by slower than the morning, and several of us took a break to dig around for the hidden bead curtain some more. I called Melinda to check in, and she wouldn’t spill the beads.

When we left, I stopped by to see Summer at the shop for a while, then came on home to start some laundry and clean up a bit. The girls all came over eventually, and three of us watched another episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier. We’re way behind, but maybe tomorrow we’ll get a chance to catch up if it’s rainy all morning.

Pay no attention to the man behind the beaded curtain.

I’d been out of work so frequently lately that I forgot my backpack this morning. This was a problem because I actually took my laptop home over spring break, and I needed it for work. I ran back home, then ended up at the high school for the morning to help Mike replace some laptop screens, which turned out to be pretty simple.

Summer and I had a lunch date, but I had to be back to the shop in time for training right after, so I quickly ran to get her and get to Mulan’s. The food was super good today, which made me that much sadder that I didn’t have time for dessert. I barely made it back in time. Karie was already at the shop and had already started, but it was just a refresher for me anyway. She kept it short, because the real TLDR is that we have to fix things without looking at anything.

I stayed there for the rest of the afternoon, and had to go hunting for all the things Melinda took out of my office. She found the cricket and hid it in the ceiling right above me, which wasn’t at all creative. I felt like I was annoying others more than anything, since I had to go through their things to find my own. She took so many things that I didn’t even remember what all was missing, but I think I found it all with some help from the others that were less than excited by her shenanigans.

The girls walked to Oakland after school, so I picked them up and took them home after work. Then I dropped Autumn off for her third last day of Monday night school. I stopped in to fix a couple computers in Ethan’s lab, then met Summer at the house so we could watch the newest episode of Falcon and Winter Soldier with Eaddie. As that ended, they had to leave and get Autumn.

I just relaxed for the rest of the evening. My blood pressure has been high without my medication, so I’m starting back on it in the mornings to see if it makes any difference compared to taking it in the evening. Hopefully the anxiety attacks don’t return, but if they do at least I’ll be prepared with a better explanation for them.

April Fools is coming…

It seemed like a perfectly normal, average day. It was frosty in the morning, then warm in the afternoon. I spent most of the day picking at things at the shop. Things were relatively quiet, save for a brief fire at the junior high during testing. Nobody mentioned food, so I went home and finished the leftover pretzel pizza, then brought the R1 back to work.

Brody had some questions, so I spent some time with him at the junior high before ending back up at the shop. Melinda spent a good amount of the afternoon guessing with certainty that Greg had stolen the magazine to her dart gun. I planted a prank device, but it seemed to only go off shortly after she had left the room. I ended the day with some exciting, but sad news.

The girls walked to the house after school, so I picked them up after work and we got some Subway to take to Summer at the shop. We split a pair of footlongs before we dropped Autumn off for her last day of night school. Then Eaddie and I went home to watch a couple episodes of WandaVision. Summer got home just before the conclusion of episode seven, so we stopped as not to reveal any spoilers.

The girls left for home, and I reassembled my master closet the best I could. It needs to be rearranged, but at least I have a bed again. Tomorrow looks to be busy, so hopefully I sleep right through the night.

Bye, bye, bye!
