I wanted to do a bunch of things today... Did none of them. Eventually, I expect to get used to working 6 days a week, so far, I have not been getting used to it. Oh well, there's always next week!

Good Night TPU!!
"I don't know what to do with the WD Black 500GB NVMe SSD that's in Yellow. I bought it thinking it would work as a M.2 SSD. Can I buy an expansion card that will allow me to use it somehow? Not sure what to search for to find something like that. It would be nice to throw the extra capacity into Grey. 3470MB/s Read should be fine for 1080 gaming, no?"
Anybody?
OK, so. I got the day off to go watch a hockey game, MN Wild vs. Vancouver Canucks. It starts in 45 minutes. I have a 5 minute walk to the Arena. I think I will go buy a Snickers and then start over there. Food at the arena is outrageously priced, maybe I'll buy 2 Snickers.
BTW, GO WILD!! https://www.nhl.com/standings/2021/division
Well, I just bought a, clean, used, PowerColor Fighter Rx6600 XT. I watched a Paul's Hardware, detailing GPU prices. I found this one for $469.26, after tax. The seller is a 100 per cent-er, and is sending now. Should get it by the end of the month.
OK, Goodnight, once again. I am going to my Brother's place, in the morning, before work, to hang his new TV on the wall. Maybe, even, put a pane of glass in his window, if there's time. Got everything we need, last week. So, hopefully it goes smooth.
Goodnight, TPU! I am ready for bed. I forced myself to stay awake, so I can sleep tonight. Rather than napping when I got home and being up all night. It was tough to stay up, got 2 hours of sleep, between Thursday night and Friday morning. So, I've been draggin' ass all day. Time for bed!
I realized, today, that I am actually going a little nutty. Due to a lack of sleep and the cross section of the public I endure, while at work, and (other than typing this) I have no outlets. The reason I realized this is because I realized I have been talking about buying another Motorcycle, non stop for days. Mostly to try and justify working these extra shifts. But also because I need it so badly.
Well, I am gonna get up in the morning and go to my Brothers place to sort out a TV mounting and wiring. He wants a 55" in his small-ish Living room. So, gotta find the studs and measure it all up, then figure out wiring. Probably won't be done tomorrow and I will be there Wednesday, too.
Hello Monday, or, in my world, Thursday. Things are looking good, so far, that I will not have to work either of my days off, knock on wood. I need the R&R. my back and forth shifts have been causing me to oversleep. Particularly, Saturday mornings, I ran two alarms on Sunday and it worked so, I have to remember to do that for Saturday mornings.
Well, it's the end of a 2 day off spell. Back at it tomorrow morning, wake up, 4:30am, Train: 5:28am, work 7:00am to 3pm. Rinse and Repeat, Sat and Sun. Then, two 2nd shifts, Mon and Tues.
Hopefully that's it. It would be nice to have a 40 hour week. It's been a while since that happened, before Christmas, if my memory serves me. Anyway, Good Night.
Good Night TPU, I am tired...
Just worked 16 hours and get to back and do it again, I leave in 5 hours. 3 people out sick, 1 confirmed Covid, and 2 are testing tomorrow. One was supposed to work tonight, which is why I worked 16. The 16, today, I knew about last week. I WAS prepared for it...we'll see how it goes. Good Night!
good night TPU
So, Well, Happy to have been led to a possible, inexpensive, save of my "White" box. But, coming off a bit of a low day. It get's to me every so often, working Security in a busy building. I get to deal with Liars and Thieves, or just plain looney tunes, on a regular basis. Add to that a couple of co-worker's that seem to disregard facts as opinions and, well sometimes it sucks.
So, here I sit, flummoxed. I had a gpu die, some time ago. I was, was, able to keep it crunching on WCG and, could pull it up on Teamviewer. Every 3 weeks, or so, I would have to reboot it because the numbers would fall off. That all worked until Wed. I took the GPU apart and re pasted it. Did not see anything unusual.
Wishing you a
I hope everyone is doing well. I am off to bed, 4:30 am rolls around too fast!!
Well, I accepted some overtime for Monday. 9 am to 11 pm. My boss said to not check in at 9, because she is going to pay me from 7am. So, work 14, get paid for 16...not too bad! Full 8 hours of Overtime.
BTW, I found my watch. Somehow I had forgotten I had picked it up (I blame lack of sleep, due to a crazy work schedule). I was gonna do some laundry the other night, found the white Sieko box in there, with my watch inside. I apologized to the sender, profusely. They were happy it was resolved and said they were looking forward to me being a happy customer.
In about an hour, I'm gonna start my trek to the VA. I was approved to get a booster shot, since I work as Security in a large public access building. Even though I would be paid for 2 weeks if I got sick, I would not wish it on my worst enemy. My thought is, if they're willing to give it to me, I'll get it. I had zero complications from the first doses and I believe wholeheartedly they have kept me safe from Covid.
Yesterday was Veterans Day, so, Post Office was shut. Looks like it will have to be Monday morning before I can go raise some feather's there. Hopefully someone competent is working.
My Post Office is Skunked! Amazon sent me an incorrect Tracking number. 2 months on, I contacted the seller, got the REAL Tracking number. Turns out it was delivered on the 13th of Sept. Post Office printed out proof that it was delivered there. Woman there said it has been too long to figure out where it is. WTF? I'm going back tomorrow, I had to leave before I made a scene!
Well, apparently I spent too much money. My 2 acct's bank and CC are both down to $2 and some change, available. Today is the 4th, payday is the 11th. My rent went up and is now causing me some issues. Looks like I am going to have to really change up my budget!
dammit. I just missed my bus to work, granted it gets me there early, because of the slow fricking elevators here. Just now I waited 8 minutes and missed the bus by a half a block. half hour between busses so, here I sit trying to compose myself.
