I hit the snooze button about 10 times this morning. Then I got up and headed for the coffee maker, fired it up, then fed the cats. I got my coffee and space out in front of the computer until the coffee started working. Then, I got more coffee. After that, I stood in the show and spaced out until I started to run out of hot water. Eventually I made it out the door and drove to work and spaced out at the first exit. Fortunately, the next exit is just as good as the first. I just enter the parking lot on the east side of the building instead of the west. I walked up to the elevator and realized I forgot my phone. So, back to the truck I went. As I was walking back to the elevator I started thinking about more coffee. So, I got more coffee. Then I walked around doing nothing but drinking coffee for the next 20 minutes while checking to see if there were any neato electronic gizmos in the ewast container. I came across a device in clear plastic with the circuit board visible through the back and a small lcd display on the front, complete, unopened, with the power supply. So, I grabbed it, made another stop at the coffee machine, then wandered to my desk to check the tickets. Just as I expected, four tickets to assist people with their passwords. Peope who make $120K a year, but can't figure out how to make a new password. I unlocked their accounts and had them try again. Then unlocked two of them a few more times because they kept typing in the wrong password. Then, I looked up this thing I found in ewaste. It turned out to be a jpay5s tablet for prisoners. It's a cheapo Android tablet that doesn't let people in jail look at anything that isn't approved. So, I guess, that means no nekkid women for them. Maybe I'll see if I can root it and install some version of Android that will make it useful. The real mystery is, why was a tablet for jailbirds in the ewaste where I work? It wouldn't be the first time something out of place has ended up in the ewaste. Someone put a lava lamp in there about a year ago. I would have taken that home, but it didn't work. After all that I wandered to the mailroom to ship a few items to people working remotely, then went to lunch and ate too much. After lunch I spent 45 minutes trying to help someone who couldn't rename a file because she didn't know how to right-click. The next one was a real winner. This dude locked himself out of his account after changing his password and entering it wrong too many times because he kept getting an error that the server coudn't be found when he tried to connect to a database after he typed in a 6 in the IP address instead of an eight because he needs to update the prescription for his spectacles. Then someone messaged me on Teams to thank me for getting his computer running. Really, I don't remember helping him, but I replied, "You're welcome SIR!" Then I went to sort through some laptops and had the bottom fall off of one because someone stole the screws out of the bottom cover, I think. Finally, I headed home, stopping at the gas station on the way home, and noticed the steering wheel still shimmys on the freeway after I moved the tires from front to back. Arrived home and dropped the keys on the front porch while trying to unlock the front door, fed the cats, went outside, watered the plants and just generally wasted water because it was hot, went inside and nuked a few chorizo sausage hot dog whatever they are called, then decided to make a very detailed post about what I did today.
