Hubby: "Wanna go to the grocery store later today?"
Me: "Sure! Yay! Excitement/event of the week! Maybe we should get some early dinner too?"

...such is our life at the moment. 

Although last week, hubby's car broke, mine wouldn't start/stay juiced even after jumps with a portable power/jump unit thingie, and the van needed a jump (that one worked/stuck). Hubby's car now fixed (dealer shop), mine has a new battery. I guess lack of excitement is sometimes better. 

Most exciting thing for me is trying a new scent of deodorant.

I spent the last 3 days putting ~2,000 comics in new short bins and trying to organize a little.  Admittedly I gave up on the last 6 bins (or my back did) so I didn't actually keep track of what went into those bins other than to make sure a few small groups of comics weren't in them.  Now I'll spend a few weekends writing what's in the bins in a more specific sense and all that so that once I've got everything in new bins I can start putting like titles together in some sort of logical way.

Was off yesterday, checked work today to see if a #$@#%@# FTP process decided to work.  Amazing to see a guy trying to power his way through my Out Of Office status in Teams, messaging me at 2 am.  At least it was a productive day out, got to run into a guy who was drunk at 9:30 AM

I like coming back from making coffee or the lunchbreak to a plethora of Teams calls. If only the software would give people an indicator when someone is AFK... dunno, it could set the status to away or something. That would be something.

I once did leave my status as "Be Right Back" for 3 weeks though, before someone pointed it out to me.

Kind of like driving down the road with your turn signal left on, I suppose. I once left my vacation e-mail auto-reply on for weeks after getting back. It was surprisingly peaceful.

Woke up, checked my mail, Amazon tells me I am now subscribed to Luna+'s free trial.

I certainly did not sign up, I also did not get any notifications that a new login happened or a new device was registered, which Amazon normally sends my way, plus I have 2FA active. Killed the subscription, deleted the app from my catalogue, checked my device list (everything in order) and changed my password, just to make sure. Did read that it is possible to sub to Luna+ even when you have a security PIN set up, so I guess it's technically possible that my wife clicked something on the Fire TV stick. Would be strange, but not impossible.

Nothing else was ordered, so that speaks against a hacked account. I mean, out of all things, why'd anyone hijack an Amazon account just to sub to the cloud gaming service, not change the e-mail address or buy stuff that cannot be returned or cancelled (like Microsoft licence keys)? Bizarre.

1. Upgrade Java version on server 

2. Service dies

3. Find out the path to the JRE is hardcoded.

4. Have to create a JRE 6 folder in some folder with a guy's name in it.

5. Start searching for new job.

Well yeah, but certainly not the language's fault when a programmer doesn't know how to reference JAVA_HOME.  So many instances where we have this crap, like our engine zips files, and it needs a WinSCP dll that's in C:\My Downloads|work stuff

Fair enough, that does sound moronic.
