It was a work day deferred but a work day nonetheless

Its like 2 in the afternoon and we on the highway back out to somerville. Honestly I don't know why I'm riding 3rd seat again. If you got K & J the wire team, wire team extraordinare(when they aiin on the Bull) what you need a tech for? Hey we out the house though


We're now at the site and honestly not much for me to do here so back to the blog. I won't lie I'm boooored again I can carry things from the front to the back but honestly this was a wire team job, but maybe the next site. Just the way it works sometimes, while I'm not a big college football fan I am a football fan so I am watching.


Auburn vs. Georgia lots of yellow hankies on the ground and Georgia has taken advantage of every miss step by Auburn, they showed a graphic about auburn coming back from large deficits so let's see if they calm down.


Penn state vs. Ohio state first TD's in Columbus is Joe Pa's history at Penn state wow, hey like I said the other day "all good things must come to an end". So Joe Pa CAN score in Ohio.


Wire team is almost done moving this system across the store so we're about to be on to the next site, maybe I'll be busy, maybe I won't I never know but I let's go on and get there

SOS-Save Our Signal

Don't ask me why I am thumbing this one out too(even though I guess my fingers are smaller because before I had to use my thumbnails so hooray, I think) I have no signal here so just like last time when I was bored as all hell, well dude, there you have it(rip off of a ludacris skit from his first CD).

Thing is I'm here, no chair(though sleeping on a site is frowned upon), no laptop(but hey its not like I can surf the good porn there are ladies present), the puter for all intents and purposes seems to be a wash(which is why though ran a quick scanner it really could use a full scan)

And just as I say that poof I fixed it(for now) 5 scans and 17 trace removals and we have picture which makes me think I need to run the full scan and get it all. Now my favorite comments from customers when I do what I do are "we didn't touch ANYTHING" and "the last guys who were here did that". First if you didn't touch ANYTHING 9 times out of 10 you'd be seeing the wire/hardware repair team instead of me. Yes hard drives crash, memory can go bad, and computers can need analysis from time to time. 10% of the time it had nothing to do with the user.

The rest of the time yup somebody went somewhere and downloaded something. Another tell tale sign of this:the computers browsing history is non existant. Yup, there is a common misconception(hell it ain a misconception its a CYA move) that if you just "erase the history and POSSIBLY the cookies your PC will be all better. That's false, insane and the worst lie ever.

All erasing your history does is make it harder for me to discern WHERE you got the virus. Hell, if you leave your history alone it may not have been the site itself but an ad or a hijacking script added later(yes just like folks tap into other peoples cable they hijack things on peoples websites) is not a bad or malicious site. Most people don't even have a "virus" per se they have malware a program that is hijacking processes, functions and data from you computer for whatever nefarious purpose. When I get somewhere with a signal I will go ahead and update the proper definitions for virus(as per computers) and malware(or malicious software you know us techies hate long useless names) right her ----> computer virus and Malware

But yeah it gets mad annoying because you're looking at the person like "do you really think I am that stupid". It could have been an accident, another victim of a FB buddy who couldn't resist clicking that brand new cool link(hell some of them look cool to me to, but I have "THE DISK" and you do not and I still control my clicky), or everybody's favorite somebody got file shared a virus/malicious code.

I will say this about our customers most of them will feed you, I may not have my cookies but hey a free footlong subway club can't beat that. It seems this owner has some businesses in Chicago and my dad would love to expand a little bit further. I mean it'd be nice to hit another major city, but I'd be working most of the time so don't know how much "sight seeing" I'd get to do past to and from the site.

I guess I never realized how gruesome part of my job can be. While the shooting I saw on camera did not result in a death, I have seen people shot and shot at a few times. My younger brother just "witnessed" his first, granted usually I get a heads up. Unfortunately the customer told him it was a robbery, so his head wasn't prepared to see a man lose his life. I can't remember the last time I was physically present when that type of extreme violence happened. I was younger then him and while there were times when it shook me I guess as I grew older it was just, meh okay.

Kinda sad when you think about it not cringing when someone is beaten, shot, or stabbed. Now where I grew up at in jersey wasn't that rough, nor were the places I USUALLY hung out(I've hung out in some rough places too I was young and trying to live a life worth remembering within reason). But life isn't always about being in a bad part of town when something bad happens to you, sometimes chance just sucks.

Okay enough about that morbid subject, most times if I get a phone call its because someone broke in, gave themselves a 5 finger discount, or else claimed "injury". I also like the folks who try to play the "return an item I stole scam". I've seen quite a few and have video of a bunch on top of that, just don't think I can legally post it anywhere. Unless of course I find a way to edit out faces, I should really look that up.

Be nice to add a "funny thing happened on the way to the " dunno which title I'll bite off for that yet. But then you could see why on some of my later nights I'm not always in a crappy mood:cause sometimes my job is straight comedy.

Okay I'm putting this blog to bed. If any readers know any decent affordable video editing software let me know

Meh previous title was too melodramatic

I was gonna title this "Ooooh Nooo! The world is gonna end primal didn't do a morning post" but the ham on me is either sleeping (lucky bastard) or else just wasn't feeling it.

Favorite thing about loading a computer:

When having mismatched memory installed causes your board to go AS(haywire use your imagination). It keeps getting later and later in the day. Today has been pretty boring, I've trained troops in Evony Age II, in kingdoms of Camelot, have ignored my fish on tagged, and have had a nice conversation with a good friend about the stupidity of shaming a young to preteen girl into having a child. (By the way anybody who is legal and gets somebody underage pregnant deserves to be under the jail)

So yeah goofing off wise this has been a pretty productive day, work wise not so much. I've even drained my cell battery down to two bars(about to run and plug it in now). Really don't have my mind wrapped around much right now. Thinking of going to make lunch, possibly more of my delicious buffalo strips(you wish you could taste this sauce perfect bite to it with just a hint of *this information has been stricken as it is proprietary information*). Think we have a couple of wraps left if not guess I could make a salad.

Its mid season so thursday night football starts. That's about it just popped in my head really ain thought much about this pre pre weekend edition. Like I said was goofin off hadn't blogged yet and want to kinda keep the flow going just in case later on tonight I'm not in a blogging mood. I mean looking at how much and what I've blogged about its doubtful but as we know capricorns are mercurial by nature and if we know anything about me I AM a Capricorn (CAPS ROCK) so somedays just gotta head of my natural tendencies.

Aiight putting another one to bed holla back lata

Less heavy fare

Has anybody noticed as of late that the folks doing a lot of the major voice over work lately are actual big name actors in the prime of their careers. Megaminds is coming out this weekend and its like wow Brad Pitt and Will Ferrel, really? Aren't these guys like swimming in live action movie deals? But over the last say 6 years I have noticed that a lot its like hey, its easy, its fun the movies are actually about some decent topics why not.

And I don't mean heavy cgi flicks as those can still be partially or equally live action and usually end up to HOPEFULLY be a big blockbuster. I mean I guess shrek and pixar really started something. We actually enjoy watching animation again(which I feel is a good thing) and we don't need an "oh its just for the kids" excuse(well I don't, some of yall might still be a little embarassed and skittish). Granted that begs the question will I go see it, meh I have no earthly idea, I just remembered seeing the ad for it last night and it made me think.

It's sunday

Normally I'd be jacked because it's sunday in October which means it's football season(American Football for my European and asian visitors, what I check my stats now I told yall I would be more attentive) so my favorite team The Philadelphia Eagles NORMALLY would be my main focus buuut it's their bye week. For those not familiar with AF the bye week is a week where a few teams aren't on the schedule every team gets a least one bye week during the season USUALLY no more then like 4 teams are off at any one time. the byes usually run from weeks 3-9. Now every sport hear in america has a bye week or a "break" basically all that means is that there is basically a rest longer then the normal span between games. In basketball you could have 3 or 4 games in one week or you could have a span of like 2 games over a week. Baseball is the same way, so is hockey. But football is 1 game per week for like 17 weeks then whoever makes it to the playoffs. Also unique to football is that their pro/allstar game is AFTER the season not, well not as after as it used to be before it was after the Superbowl but not its the week before.

Anyway again before I run all the way down this is my teams bye week so while I do like football this should be a productive sunday for me, now watch not a DAMN SOUL call for nothing today. I swear the last 3 weeks while my team was playing all hell was breaking loose, people were having issues, it was an emergency "PLEASE PLEASE MR. SURVEILLANCE GUY YOU MUST HELP US!!!" all while my team was playing some good football(granted LAST week I should have left how you give up 27 straight points in !!!4 minutes!!! *breathe breathe* anyway that was last week, we were 2 men down so the bye week will allow them to heal, yes it took everything I had not to do the whole Robot bit from lost in space


It's because well I'm mad we lost but our starting QB was down and our No. 1 receiver was down so hey we weren't at full strength and a little inexperience showed. It happens next week is another week (granted the colts are coming to town so that ain good so we better be at full speed) plus the other team had a wide receiver play the game of his life. Again things happen it's a 16 game season and we are above .500 so I'm happy about that plus I could be a dallas cowboys fan 1-4 talk about lame, though I will give them props for beating the texans they are a much improved team this year. Aiight I might blog more later I guess I can get a heads up on my wife's fantasy players for her real quick
