    Morning
    Parts and office are short handed and no plans to add people.
    So employees are multitasking and of course overwhelmed.
    Longer shifts etc. people are not coming back cause they hear what’s happening.

    Wife is overwhelmed at work also. 3 times as much paperwork per patient.
    Washing the exam rooms all the time. Washing the bathroom every time someone comes
    out. The girls are exhausted...


    On a good note today the garage is getting a new roof.
    Bad news is I have to pay for it.
    There has got to be a way I can get anything I want for free. Some people
    do it now...lol

    More heat today..
    More tomorrow.

    Is it Sunday yet?

    Good morning all, sorry, didn't mean to start a frenzy over a movie and I did read the book years ago. I was kind of down in the dumps and the movie picked up my spirits and got me to think. Heck if I cannot be working I might as well change my mind set then start enjoying the time off. I am not used to being idle this time of year and it is hard to adjust. Mind over matter...

    Don't get me started on customer service issues these days, other than quality of goods their customer service is what keeps me a customer.

    Now for today's wish to go fishing - unfortunately / fortunately it rained all night, a good steady rain but TStorms rolling in and one thing I don't do is stand in the river with lightning and with all the outfitters having specials for guided fly fishing outings this weekend I will wait until Monday when everyone is gone. I too like to be alone on the water, there are some real anal anglers here. Example; a few years ago this time of year we were under pre-evacuation here with two forest fires within a few miles of us so every night we would head up to the local fire station for the daily report, where the county sheriff's and the forest service supervisor would share daily progress and take questions. A gentleman (trying to be PC here) stood up to ask a question - more like file a complaint - he is not from up here but from the Springs. He was concerned with the water levels in the canyon due to helicopters drawing water to fight the fires and how that was gong to affect fishing that summer. Needless to say he was escorted out by a deputy and was told not to come back.

    Good morning and welcome to Friday. Had my 40 hours in a couple of days ago. Like about 3 days ago. Can I go home now? Wait I am home...

    Storming here and under a flash flood watch. Not a fan of standing in water during a T-storm either. Or holding a shotgun in the woods during lightning. But done it before when I was younger. And dumber.

    I wish I knew what happened to customer service. It seems to have completely disappeared.

    I bought a new network router(Netgear) for home back in April.It failed two weeks ago. They sent a replacement in just a few days. That one failed in less than 24 hours. After a good three hours on the phone they sent a third one. It failed in under an hour. Then spent 90 minutes on hold last night waiting for a supervisor. I finally hung up. Hoping I can get someone today that might help.

    Good luck with them, I dropped my Netgear router several years ago and went with Lynksys and have been very happy with the router and its functionality to expand as needed. I run a server from home for work when I travel - oh that's right I am not working right now. If you do not get help look into Lynksys.

    Very few things tee me off more. By the time you get to talk to someone, you're already ready to :duel:

    I've had pretty good luck with Netgear in the past. My last home router was an Apple Extreme. I really liked the Apple. I work with Cisco at work so pretty familiar with Linksys. May go that route after this one.

    well...thats an hour of my life i'm not getting back.
    can't reinstate my order, cant reorder the same item today even though its showing in stock. their reason being that other people may have already ordered it and depleted the stock before the website could be updated. why are new orders being fulfilled today while my order from a month ago is ignored? couldn't give me an answer.
    i think they may have just lost a customer for good.
