Oh, I forgot the Kitchen Sink.

Yea, about that...

Last Friday was grand, kinda like the last day of school, you know your there but you pretty much do nothing. Well, I did a few things to tiddy up around a leave a few notes and what not, but I left early. I know Mr. Wonderful was kinda mad at the fact that he didnt have any one to replace me before I left and that I couldn't be there this week for the install, or I should say implementation of the service advisor's tablet pc's. Don't know much as so far to this week other than Mr. W calling today. So, If I know more...

First Day, New Job. New Wooden Spoon.

First day on the new job, Had orientation today at my new employer, Pala Casino Spa & Resort. Mainly orientation was first part of the morning, after lunch. Oooooh Lunch, Yea, I get free food. Yum! Actually it is good food, so far, so cant complain on that aspect. Parking, Ahh Yes, Fantastic, employee's have their own section, and no more fighting and having a brisk walk to and from your car to your office. Oh sorry, Back to the day events. After lunch, I started the (actually second tour) of the casino, which was more indepth than the first one. Every employee I've meet today has seemed very friendly, everything is up beat, which is good. Heh, back to the post, and stop rambling... Got setup with User name and what not today, and started my shadow process and followed a co-worker around. This will be my first job that I will use a Ticket system, which I think is great. No more Excel spreadsheets for mee! Nor, no more waiting to fix an issue. By the way, Mr Wonderful called me this morning. He needed to know why I set something up the way I did, so I explained and he said, "Oh". I think I will expect other calls. But thats besides the point of the post. So on ward. Actually thats pretty much the days events in a nut shell. So until next time, I bid thee ado.

Question to ponder...

Why do pc's have a hibernate/sleep key on the keyboard?

Two Days... To Go...

Then my friend I shall be free of wonderfully fantastic place I work for and Off to Start a new adventure.

Supprisingly, Mr. Wonderfull has been decent with me over the past week, well in away I shouldnt be so supprised, I've been getting the feeling that I am needed there and that the place can not function well without me. But, I will find this out later when a friend of mine informs me in a bout a month.

I'll Post more Friday, my last day at the dealership.

"Whats this?" ... "Read it."

I didn't post yesterday's events so I shall post them right now, well then I should say, because now just happend then, and now is now a few minutes ago, or a while ago. Something like that.

So, I walk into Mr. Wonderfull's Office with a Sheet of printed paper, Set the sheet of paper on his desk.

Mr.W: "Whats this?"
Me: "Read it."
MrW: {reads paper and mumbles while reading.}
MrW: "I knew you where going to be leaving, and I thought I told you a few months ago that you need to tell me when your leaving."
Me: "Yea, I am telling you now. I'm giving you my two weeks..."

This is what I handed him...

I hereby tender my resignation as Network and Systems Technician from Singh Chevrolet. My last day will be May 5, 2006.

Thank you very much for the opportunity and learning experience.

That was it. I didnt think it was hard to understand. So the conversation continued...

MrW: "I know this, but I need some time so I can train someone to take your place."
Me: "Yes, that is why I am giving you My 2 WEEKS Notice. My last Day being May 5th."
MrW: "I know, I will need to train someone.."
Me: "Why? I started here with out any training. Its not like this network is large and what I do here is hard."
MrW: "Thats not the point."

He then continued on about how I know what Im doing and such and he needs this and that. So Im guessing he's expecting the next person he traps, er, gets wont know the difference between left and right mouse click. I also told him I dont plan on just leaving, unless he gives me shit or requests one of his many fantastic ideas to be carried out. He didn't put up much of a bitch, but I know he's pissed about it. I've also told the service manager about it and he told me Why leave, this is the greatest place to work! Ha! ;)

In long there is currently no one to fill my place, co-workers wonder if Mr. W Jr is going to take it, Which would pretty much be live not having anyone. I highly doubt they will get someone with skills like mine or simular to work there, or at least for long. Til next time.

Fast Times at Singh Chevrolet...

I have neglicted my blog. I am a terrible blogger. I must be hanged at once. Well, I'll choose cake instead.

So, whats been going on here in the wonderfull world of Chadsville. Well, my stars the things I've done. Well for starters alot, and like normal I've been meaning to post about some days events at work. Of the newest things is that Mr Wonderfull decided to turn on Websense again, which once again blocked users from doing their job, but this time he took a little of my advice and to completely re-configure websense, being that it wasnt working correctly. So, he cleared the lists of allowed sites and blocked ones, So naturally I start getting phone calls about this. My response to them was.. "Call Mr W and tell him." Yes, I was structed by him that I am NOT to do anything unless it had gone through him first. My question, "What the hell do I do then? Isn't that my job to fix these things? His title is not, Systems Admin or Tech, its something like field Operations Manager or something. Well, Curious to see what it really is, (at least whats on his bus. card) I took a look at his business card, which he has had new ones made they now read "Purchasing & Systems Manager"? Huh.. Nice title for someone who told me when I first started titles on a bus card doesnt matter. Great isnt it?

Day in and day out, do this and this but do this first and dont forget to do that too, Oh and fix my home PC while your at it. Wait..., Aren't you the Systems Manager, so you should know how to fix your own pc? OH and Mr. Wonderfull junior seems to think he knows more. He even set up the network here at (Dealership) and at the northern California store. Wow, I could have sworn Myself and a school buddy did. So Jr should be-able to fix it, no? Guess not. Well when you cant figure out to check if the pc has memory in it and what the beeps are when you power a pc on and you dont know? (Sorry if Im bitching about it like this but, when you say you know something and you don't, you shouldn't bragg, because when its time and someone asks you to do something and you cant, then thats your fault. And yes this happens, the job usually ends up coming back my way anyhow, I don't understand why Mr. Wonderfull does this. But I've come to just let it be and wait).

Today, Mr wonderfull had one of his wonderfull moments again today. Friday he sent me an email with the message of....

"[filename.xls] see me monday morning about this."

So I asked him about this today, he told me that the file was sent in the email, and it wasnt. So he proceeded to forward it to me again while telling me to print it out and bring it back to him. I told him to just print it out right now and thn tell me what he wants, and No, Just print it out he said. I stood there telling him to just print it out, it will save me the trip and time. But to no avail, He sent the email to me and told me I needed the exercise. I told him I didnt need the excercise and that I've spent good money on my keg (opposite of a guy's six pac, mind you Im not plump See flickr if you dont know what I look like.). But Still, a no. I mean if you dont print things whats the use of having 2, yes, TWO printers in your office? Mind you both are Multi-function printers (I'll post a photo later...).

On to the next thing. Heh, The Workweb cam was finally found after numerous times of people starring straight at it. Thus I removed after being asked. Oddly enough, I wasn't asked why I had it installed on it. None the less it would have been removed sooner or later. Im saying this because, As of Tuesday April 25, 2006 I am putting in my Two Weeks notice. Yes, I have finally found another job, more or less a career. I'll keep you all posted as to what happens when I turn in my notice.

Waffles!

Dihydrogen Monoxide is my Friend.

That is all.

Thank you Pull Forward...

The other day, Karen wanted KFC for dinner. So I drove down to the nearest KFC and went through the drive-through. As we approached the Menu, I thought I wonder if they take ATM, being I didnt have any cash on me. So its our turn to order. I thought I would ask the attendant if they took ATM.

Attendant: "Welcome to KFC, ..." Blah Blah " order when your ready."
Me: "Do you guys take ATM Cards?"
Attendant: "No, Only Debit Cards."

Normally the answer from them is "As long as it has a Visa or Mastercard logo."
The answer that was given actually stumped me and I couldnt order, I turned and looked at karen, and asked just to make sure. "ATM and Debit card's are used the same way, right?"

Ah..

So, I've gone back to a Template for my blog. Why you ask, Because I couldn't get the Comments issue fixed. So now you can comment. Im gonna redo the layout and hopefully I wont have that issue again.

Not much in the world of mine. I turned another full year older yesterday. So Happy Un-Birthday to me today! Why I think its Your Un-Birthday today Too! Ah.. More Tea!
I have an excellant Idea... Lets change the Subject!

Thats a Great Price!

Was walking by the vending machine here at and work and notice something that made smile and laugh, So I snapped a photo with my trusty Cell Phone with that nifty Camera built in.

So if I get the Lime flavored Gatorade its 1.75 and if I get the others its only 1.50. Hmm, Thats a fantastic price!

I was Bought my Microsoft.

I have fallen to the powers of Microsoft. This is my last Post. So Long Fare-Thee-well readers. I shall now move out of the USA as part of the Buy out contract from Microsoft, I take my 100-Grand and My Lovely T-Shirt I got with the Buy out and Bid thee Adu.

Cheers!

Work Drawing...

No, this isnt me.. Its.... well a long story. Mr. Wonderfull's Son

Two or 10... Hmmm Interesting.

42 Times. Once in the right Direction. Twice In the other direction and three times a twinkie. Why is it that 1 can not be enough, but 3 is a crowd. If I can get Whole Sliced Peaches for a $ 1.75, why is it that Jimmy cracks corn. How do you crack corn, anyway. So back to 42. It's said 42 is the meaning of life, or the answer. So My question, is what was asked to get the answer. Was it how much does this Pearing Knife set Cost? Or Is it, How much the Doggy in the window really is? Or is it just the answer when you Multiply 6 by 7. Either way I will never know if its 42 licks to the center of a Tootise pop.

I actually hoped I would have something more meaningful and factual. Well, I could tell you that that the answer is "2 b" ("to be").

Something like that. I'll post something more meaningfull and useless. Oh and I'll try to fix the comments button too.

To Unlock or Not to Unlock... This is the Question...

Got an email today regarding how to unlock your car if you locked your Keys in the car. No, this isnt done by calling OnStar or Triple A, as I thought it might be.

These types of email are all over the place and find their way around the net. I personally don't think so. For one, a Cell phone is a different Frequency than your car's security alarm and the Lock/unlock remote.

But, Here's the email anyway.

"LOCKED KEYS IN YOUR CAR"

This is ingenious... If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone on your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your
car door and have the other person at your home press the unlock button
of your key fob (clicker), holding it near the phone on their end.
Your car doors will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.
Distance is no object you could be hundreds of miles away,
and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote"
for your car, you can unlock the doors (or trunk)!
Editor's note: It works fine! We tried it out, and it unlocked our car.

And no, this is Fiction. For one I went and tried and secondly I did a google search for this story and came across this. So, thats that. Don't Believe everything you get in an email. The best way to get into the car.. Use a "Slim Jim" or a Wire Coat hange. They work fine, I know this from experiance.

Na Na Na Na Na Posting... Posting... Batman!

Yea, I need to post more often.

Window Tinting and Wireless...

They don't mix.

So don't put a Wireless connection behind a Very Dark Tinted window. Unless you dont want the outside world to use your connectiong. I've learned this from experince. and also looked it up on the net. Heres one link for it.

Yes, I racked my knoggin on this one. Trying to setup two Access points to act as a bridge to use a VoIP Phone. One AP was set up in a Gazebo (sp) and the other in a Building that has a big window, in-which is very much tinted. Closed the door to the room and bam, Connection lost. Arrgg.. WTF. Before all this both AP's were testing and worked fine. So, when they were put in place, they had a low signal. I check to make sure the distance was not a factor, which it was not. Low and behold it was the damned Tinting on the Window. Good Times
