I had all morning to myself to do some more device shuffling, and start getting together claim information for the devices I couldn&#8217;t fix in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just before lunch time, Autumn texted me and said she just wanted to stay home all day, so I wouldn&#8217;t have her in the afternoon either. Zach let me know when my 120 teacher laptops arrived, and they already had them loaded into the Gardner kitchen by the time I got there. Everyone else was busy, and also using the trucks and trailer, so I just loaded 30 laptops into my trunk and delivered them to the high school myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ben showed up just as I was getting a cart to retrieve them from my car, so he helped me unload. Then we chatted with Karen for a tiny bit before I went in to try imaging one of the new devices. It was then that I realized I would have to do a bit more work on my task sequence to make it work with the teacher laptops. I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to get that working, but it won&#8217;t be until tomorrow that I have a flash drive ready to test again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I went home to change after work, then went to meet Beth and Mark at their shop to do some technology consulting. He was finishing up with a customer, so I had to wait a bit, and then things went very differently than I expected. He sat down and started chatting about school district stuff with me, and I just started vomiting grievances. I figure this will end one of two ways. I&#8217;ll either be let go for not drinking the Kool-Aid, or be inducted into some dark society whose sole mission is to root out the corruption in our local government. Either way it should be a lot of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving on from that, we chatted at length about choices in email hosting for a business domain, and I was left mostly confused about why any of this was happening. He seemed anxious to pay me though, if I only had the mental capacity to conjure up some fair billing practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time I got up to Summer&#8217;s, the girls had already eaten the homemade Hamburger Helper that Autumn made for dinner. I warmed up some for myself, and then watched the last episode of <em>The Punisher<\/em> with Eaddie. The evening went by frustratingly quickly, and all I have to look forward to is more laptops in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Don&#8217;t go and try making sense of it. You&#8217;ll go positively mad.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autumn didn&#8217;t want to go to work with me today, but said she would help after lunch if I came to get [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[27],"class_list":["post-4405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4405"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4405\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4406,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4405\/revisions\/4406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
