I definitely travelled the halls a lot more today than what I would consider typical. I keep getting more and more grunt work and less that I can actually learn about, so that&#8217;s frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>After working late, I went by my parents&#8217; house to see if Dad had a suitable RCA connector that I could use to fix the preamplifier in the junior high cafeteria, but I didn&#8217;t have any luck there. I tried to help clean up some leftovers there, then came home and couldn&#8217;t find a suitable connector in any of my old electronics here either. It&#8217;s crazy\/not-crazy to me that our home theater contacts don&#8217;t do any repairs, but I guess it&#8217;s not worth the effort for them to keep parts like that on hand. I remember the days of going with my dad to the TV repair shop or Radio Shack for parts. Now you just buy a whole new thing.<\/p>\n<p>I muddled around the house for the rest of the evening and eventually made some hot tea before refunding my Star Wars tickets. I&#8217;ll give my new Pixel another day or so to get the update before I box up the old one to ship back for a refund as well.<\/p>\n<p><em>You can count on it, I&#8217;m where you left me<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like I&#8217;ve been running around a lot lately at work.
