Big move is NOT go. Yet. Manager sez to wait until I'm out of schooling before making any arrangements, on the off-chance I'll get assigned somewhere else. DEAR CHRIST NO. I mean, I'll do it, because I want the dough and the job security and the whole actually-in-my-field-and-career-level-thing etc etc, but I like Houston a lot better than, say, Prudhoe Bay or Bismarck.
Last night was a site abort. First one yet, store was under remodel and couldn't find the registers. Nevertheless, we still spent until about midnight trying to track them down. I ran the script upon arrival to convert them all to the new definitions, and then the helpdesk had to roll that back one by one. Apparently the store had 50 registers in the system that showed active. And each script run takes about 5 minutes during which you can't do anything else. And when I called there were only 4 people in that call center. Needless to say they were not too happy with me. So they wanted me to stick around and reboot all the registers to make sure they were OK. They were. Life goes on.
I forgot the con! We check into the hotel on the 31st, it runs through the 3rd, I'll have to take Jez in on the 4th and bail on the 5th. That leaves me the 29th and 30th to finish the lights for good, call Forged and set up an appointment, blah blah blah. At least I won't have to dismantle the study.
Still contemplating the logistics of taking my desktop WITH me. 11 weeks is a long-ass time to be stuck on a laptop that can't really game.
