But at least I have one, which is something.
First one went fine, her major issue was solved by hitting the "on" button for her wireless on the laptop. Note to manufacturers: please stop including this button. Thank you.
Then over to the mortgage place, for more head shaking action.
Then to the hotel, where I learned some enterprising young thief turned their camera system off and stole some TVs. Really, TVs? Are you that desperate for cash, my friend, when obviously you work for a hotel as that's the only way you would have found you could turn the cameras off. If so, I have a solution: wait. Do your job. Every two weeks money will accumulate, save part of it. Soon, you will have what you require. Easy, and legal!
Then to one not that old, but still her HD was pathetic. I shall soon replace it.
Nextly one who said porn sites were popping up, and she couldn't use firefox, waaaa. I went over there, it was the recent proxy setting trick, and ran Malwarebytes. It found: NOTHING. Okay, machine is clean.
Then to another place overlooking the beautiful bay. The heck? Goddess, are you trying to tell me something?
Very odd message about some .dll being missing or corrupt or whatever, yeah, keep using those dll files you came up with in 1985, Microsoft. Oh, right, you can't help it because of "backwards compatibility" or whatever. Uh huh. So I tried removing the software. It complained. I tried removing the registry entry and removing the software. Complained. Tried repairing the software. Complained. Tried reinstalling the software. Worked! Tried removing the software. Complained. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Did some stuff to a second one. Home.
When I arrived home, many messages greeted me like happy puppies, happy, happy puppies.
Apparently the porn stuff malwarebytes didn't find is back.
The cameras are now not working in the "security room".
And the person I talked to said the router was worse then I was told, though it was working when I was there, so I guess I better duplicate the settings and replace it.
That's three, count them, three places I GET TO GO BACK TO! Yay! Plus all the- and you'll love this, before nine o'clock in the morning, I had THREE calls from people, just as I predicted, who had called yesterday, calling again. Can I call them, or what? And then can I call them back, without them needing to call a second time? Yes folks, yes I CAN. As I was saying, plus all the actual calls I got today, so tomorrow is booked, again, with more work then I probably want to do, and one for Saturday. YES!
Oh, and there was a call from my mother, that her mother fell, again, in the night. Apparently, backwards, taking her walker with her. She yelled for help, apparently because she thought she was on a camping trip, and couldn't figure out where everyone had gone. She finally remembered her panic button, which I'm amazed she had on her, given her state of mind, and was taken to the hospital. This was at around midnight. What my grandmother was doing wandering around her house half dressed at midnight is also something to consider. She is in a lot of pain and can't walk, and the two doctors there can't decide if she's broken a rib or if it's an old break. Medical Science, how wonderful you are. She is again in rehab. I am absolutely certain even this event has not penetrated her brain that she needs to move out of that huge house and into a place where she can be watched 24/7. My mother stayed with her until 2:00 the next day, meaning she got no sleep at all, so I have not received another status report as she is probably still sleeping off the ordeal. What happens next is anyone's guess.
At least I have my Friday thing to look forward to! Just have to make it through tomorrow.
The plan for friday is:
Morning and perhaps part of afternoon, prison outreach program computers
Perhaps a quick one after that, depending.
Home to get ready.
See Grandma?
Help move freezers around parent's house.
Thing.
Then game on saturday with Sean. I'll probably have two more appointments to add to my 11:00 one by tomorrow, so don't worry.
