What could be better than more quizzes? :)

Why do I do it? Because I like taking quizzes!! :)

( Yes, more quizzes today! )

Retail woes... (My Day, part 1)

Well, here's my day, not like any of you are.. :)

I got to work this morning at 7 after. I *just* managed to avoid losing a quarter hour. I got inside the accounting office, and Tom, the guy who closed, had left one of the fans off!

• (Quick note: Our accounting room was an afterthought. Originally, we had the "back office" concept, with the door to the accounting room located at the back of the customer service counter. They built this room, and PROVIDED NO DECENT VENTILATION TO IT! We're on the same duct as the bakery, and guess where the heat from the bakery goes? That's right.)

I started checking various line items, and found a note: "P.S. The deposits are in the time lock compartment, since Lindley (our manager) wants two signatures on each." This bothered me. I checked it, and sure enough, $16000 was sitting there, waiting for our auditor to kill me dead, fire Tom, and bust our manager back down to bagger. I made a mental note to throttle Tom when next I see him.

Things went more smoothly ( Click here to read more. )

Server Room!! (My Day, part 2)

...and came home.

I found the server room in pieces. Kevin was finishing reorganizing his computers. He has *SIX* computers on one side of the room. He keeps his laptop in his room, and my computer is on the other side of the room from "The Wall". To summarize, we have:

1. a Macintosh Quadra 610, running OS 7.5.3


2. an Amiga 2500, running WorkBench 3.9


3. a Hewlett Packard, soon to be running Linux Mandrake 8.2


4. a custom-built PC with an AMD K6III-400, running Windows 2000 Server - our Network Server


5. a custom-built PC with an AMD Athlon XP 1800, running Windows 2000 Pro - Kevin's Video Production Box


6. a Compaq with a 486 CPU, running Windows 95 - our Print Server


7. oh yeah, my custom-built PC with an AMD Thunderbird 1.33, running Windows 2000 Pro...


8. ...and Kevin's Sony Vaio Laptop, with 1GHz AMD CPU - his Programming Box

Well, that's quite the list, ne? Yeah, that's what I thought too. :) Anyway, the server room is actually getting cleaner, and more organized.

( What's that? )
