We had a client that we flew a project and in the past we made prints for them as well as the digital files. This time they decided to print them themselves. After several months and lots of bad prints they are wondering why the look so good on the monitor and so bad on paper. I wanted to just say because you don't know how to make prints.

So now I get to make the prints. Easy Peasy. We should have charged extra for the prints, but we held the line and charged normal prices for 48x66 inch prints.

Dang it is BRIGHT.

Must be my sparkling, bright and shining personality or maybe the eye drops to dilate my eyes. It seems really bright in here. I went to my ophthalmologist today to get me eyes checked, and new prescription. My left eye changed a little, and it is my dominate eye.

He always checks the cornea and retina and all is well. It is the same eye surgeon that did my wife's cataract surgery and lens implants. I got some of those really special dark filters to put inside my glasses to even get to the car. My eyes are still a bit fuzzy but that will get better as the dilation goes down.

I used to work in a 100% dark as a coal mine with no lights darkroom. I would spend hours in there loading a film processor. One time I walked out and a co-worker came running up and said they were about to paint the gas meter that I was parked next to, and I need to move my car. Just walking into normal room lighting is painful bright after two hours in total darkness. To walk outside and see the white concrete was like being Mr Magoo. I had my hands in front of me and squinted like mad. I hopped into my 914 and found my sunglasses and that helped. I am sure the crew painting the meter was wondering about me.

Was snowblind once driving home from the eye docs. Got dilated AND a shot in one eye that makes it worse, Wore my regular glasses that have flip down shades, some of those temporary sunglass that go behind your glasses, AND some of those post eye surgery sunglasses that go over your regular glasses. It not only hurt, but In the heavy snow storm I could only see about 5 ft in front of my vehicle.

And you still drove?

They do have UBER for that situation. Cheaper than a wreck.

Same old same old here. Oh, I do have to write up a draft of risks in the cyber world so we can justify to the board why we are or are not buying cyber insurance.

Should be pretty straight forward.

Richard, sounds like someone is sold on MS crap. My wife had to go back and redo all the SharePoint stuff for all the teams but they never gave her permissions to add or remove folders/directories/hierarchy. Made it a bit hard.

There is some stuff MS does well and lots it does not do well. I prefer to do what works and drop what doesn't and have no problem telling companies why they don't get our money. Some of it is free and works better than the high end stuff. We had some highly rated DR software a few years ago and after talking to several people we switched to that because the one we were using got bought out and turned into udder crap. The DR app we switched to was even worse. Those were some fun conversations. It was like putting the dimmer switch behind the dome light and required a foot to run it. But hey, that is where there is space for it and it has really comfy seats! No thanks.

Uber is a wreck!

[GH85Carrera]

I personally have only used Uber one time. It was great. Cheap and easy to use. But it was not a prime time, and not a long trip. I have heard it is not reliable for real early AM pickup.

[flipper35]

I was thinking financially and in regards to public image. The crap they pull behind the scenes is enough for me to use anyone but Uber.

[GH85Carrera]

Lyft will work as easy as Uber. As I mentioned, just once. It was way better than any taxi I have ever been in.

EDIT: a decent chunk went into the 401k so uncle Sam didn't get all of it.

[flipper35]

No, Uncle Sam will take the rest when you use your 401k.

Need to go examine a Remington Model 12 to see that parts are missing. Looks like another project for the boy.

Nobody else was driving. Was the onliest car and it was my cayenne,

Just got back from a meeting I had to attend. For the 4th time they want to try to move the job I am doing to keep our HR database, Active Directory, and Office365 synced and add and terminate users. it also automatically sends notification emails as well. They don't like that I am doing it with my personal computer instead of it being off site. They are affraid if there is a tornado or file the database and it;s functionality is lost. Don;t matter that it is backed up every night bootable on a fireproof, waterproof drive AND the same thing is backed up off site.

They keep saying it needs to be setup as a workflow. Well, it already is.

They have been really positive and excited about it, then give up when they can't get it to work.

Did the same thing when I used a Filemaker database to manage our Catalog. Then they just didn't like that it was running on a Mac and wanted the programming department to manage it. What they are doing now still doesn't do all the tasks Filemaker was doing. And filemaker was easy enough to program as databases go everyone in my department was able to update and change the database.
