I don&#8217;t think she&#8217;s actually scheduled to work any more over the summer, but she says she swaps comp days, and I don&#8217;t know enough yet to argue. I wasn&#8217;t sure where to start, so I decided to poke around the 3CX phone system a little more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blake came into my office a little later and said I had about $50,000 to spend before the end of the year. I&#8217;m guessing that&#8217;s normally a good problem to have, but in this case I&#8217;m still not even sure what we have in order to make a judgement on what we need. I&#8217;ve got dozens of fires going at once, and I&#8217;m just not able to prioritize any one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lunch room was obviously closed, so I didn&#8217;t even bother trying to find anything to eat. Kim found us some leftover cake though, so that served well enough. We spent the afternoon going room-to-room looking for Chromebooks, and I made a spreadsheet to compare those that we scanned with those from Google Admin. That seemed like a good start, at least. We found about 200 by the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently we&#8217;re already starting four ten hour days, so I left a little after five and raced home as quickly as traffic would allow. Summer had swapped to charge, so I had to shuffle cars around after I changed clothes and stoked the fires in the back yard a little more. Then I picked up some Taco John&#8217;s on the way up to her house for the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I brought home some leftover hot sauce from our Taco Villa lunch on Friday, and it made my tacos about a thousand times better. I only stopped eating them because I ran out. Summer sat in front of the TV the rest of the night until she went to bed. I finally got Summer&#8217;s Fitbit Aria scale paired again, after an infuriating conversation with tech support, and finally bringing out an old iPad to complete the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eaddie had spent several hours helping her grandmother in the garden, and best I could tell, Autumn was out at the movies with Adam. Eaddie came home and showed me some new shirts she got, and I made it to bed before Autumn got home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tek Tuk Tuk!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim called me while I was on the way to work this morning, and said she would be coming in a little [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[36,27],"class_list":["post-6953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-food","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6953","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=6953"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6954,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6953\/revisions\/6954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
