I Got Out

Yesterday I took the majority of my day off as we had so many computer issues. I really don't mind my job. Today was difficult though. More system issues. In fact, mine began within 10 minutes of firing up my laptop. I called the HD (helpdesk) at least 8 times. They tried everything. But, now my issue has been escalated.....finally. I messaged my boss, and told her that I wish that there were some online courses that I could do, and to my surprise, she asked me to send her the incident number from the HD and go out and enjoy this beautiful day. She understands that I have tried my hardest, and it is out of my hands now. ~Photo is mine

I’m glad you have a boss who realizes when someone really does all they can do.

She is an amazing person, and to have the good fortune to be able to work 5 days a week with her is just terrific.

She recognized that it was out of my hands and that I had done everything possible and spent hours on the phone with the help desk. She is quite fair that way. I really hope that I can work today.

@LadyDuck The last technician that I spoke with advised me that when you first call they start a ticket, and should you have to call back anyone that you speak to must read the notes and then add to them as to what they did. I was on the phone with a couple of techs who did not read the notes I could tell because our conversation was so short.

@Juliaacv - It is such a waste of time when you have to talk with the help desk and they do not arrive to fix the problem.

Yes, she is a sweetie. She is also the most professional and wise person I think that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. That makes a big difference in your day. I got out to our son's place and it is kind of windy today, so me and the girls went outside and blew bubbles. The neighbourhood was full of them.

@Juliaacv Tots and small children are so cute with bubbles. Nico likes bubbles too. I have some with catnip.

@snowy22315 Kids are cute with bubbles. Willow likes to wave the wand and have the bubbles come out while Harper prefers to chase them. They each have their own long bubble bottles, but Harper asked me to hold hers while Willow made them.

@JudyEv Yes, there are almost too many people, chances are we are both speaking about locations which are very popular as well, and in today's world, I feel like there is such a sense of urgency with people.

Yes, it was much better. I went over and played outside with the twins. I made reservations for a little get away for this summer, we wanted to go in July but we didn't book early enough and they are all booked, so we choose a few days in August.

@Juliaacv Here, you really need to book early for just about anything! Sometimes it seems there are just too many people in the world!

@LindaOHio Yes, although I had to go to the top of our department to request to be put back on this team. My former manager was terrible, she literally made me feel like I wanted to quit.

Thanks, it is a monarch butterfly. But I can see why you'd think otherwise. My manager is the greatest.
