Always something, Straight through

With eight printers in my hobby room it feels like there is always one or two that are in need of some sort of attention and/or repair.  I just got my one Prusa Mini working again and one of my others developed a problem yesterday.  It’s like being a hamster on an exercise wheel, it never stops spinning.

Evidently I was really tired last night.  I somehow slept through my alarm this morning.  We use one of our Alexa devices as an alarm clock so to turn off the alarm requires me to give it a voice command.  I must have given it the command to shut up and immediately fallen back asleep.  I have no recollection however of my doing so.  I didn’t awake until a couple minutes after 7.  Cindy and I sprung out of bed and put our morning routine on fast forward.

I bypassed my my normal egg and toast breakfast and opted for a Pop Tart speed meal, something I do less and less often nowadays.  I didn’t shower or shave either, luckily my recently buzzed head doesn’t require a shower to be ready to go.  I was only about 10 minutes late getting to the office which isn’t bad, all things considered. I attribute my tiredness to playing some old school WoW Classic last night till almost 11PM.

I have been in tunnel vision mode at work lately.  I have been trying to get something implemented at work that is outside my area of expertise.  Because of my lack of knowledge and experience I am bumping into all sorts of challenges along the way.  I finally think I am onto a solution which should work thanks to getting some direction through various sources.  I am far from an IT genius, I think my strength is actually more as a troubleshooter.  In most situations I can dig through an issue until I finally come up with a resolution, even if it takes me a long time to get there. I don’t give up easily.
