This morning went much more smoothly. We had a good ride in and got right to work. Things were quiet. Too quiet. I worked on deploying printers remotely until Janice stopped me with a scanning issue. That was a frustrating, AI-guided troubleshooting session that just never got any better. I eventually made a change that seemed to help, but I still wasn’t getting the scans. Then I started getting messages about Outlook not working. After a couple, I saw that Microsoft had an incident report open, so we went to lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sonic and McDonald’s both had cheap deals today, so we grabbed cheese sticks and then McNuggets and fries before making it back to work. Things were very broken. Joel came up and said Downdetector was showing all kinds of services having issues, but I couldn’t be sure what might have just been a domino effect from Microsoft services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We struggled through until the end of the day and headed home. I thought Summer was going to be home after getting off work early, but she wasn’t there. Then I saw a message from her about a festival of lights at Tech. I ran Muad’Dib to my parents’ house and back before loading him up quickly and driving over to find her. I brought the Onewheel so we could park at the charger and ride across campus to their new building. They had a nice little courtyard plaza thing with tons of people coming in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We got lots of oohs and ahhs as we raced through the crowd, but then just found a high curb to sit on since Summer was deep in the mix. We waited it out for her to come find us, and Muad’Dib got a few pets. We looked a little homeless, but that was alright. He did great. I saw Brandon and Miranda, and Charlie and Sara. After things wrapped up and people started moving inside, Summer finally came over to find us just briefly before we headed back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summer drew a bath while I made us some chili dogs. Then she went to bed while I wrapped things up early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
