  • Re: Gear Grinding 9: I Need a Wine!

    Project mismanagement leading to me basically being the PM grinds my gears.

    EDIT: Also, setting up a new home laptop for the first time in 8 years grinds my gears. I remember I used to look forward to having a new computer, and now it just seems like a chore to move files/music over and such.

      I dread that more than anything. I just changed a phone and it was beyond irritating.

        I'm doing a little bit each night, with the goal of being all setup by the weekend. Phones are the same way.

          They have prigrans that automatically do that. Pull settings off Office and about 200-300 other applications.

            So, Office is a user story in and of itself. I'm still on the 2003 version because I am cheap and haven't really needed to upgrade. Plus now I am seeing that Microsoft has moved to a cloud subscription model for Office 365. Clever.

            Music has been addressed. Just need to pull my other docs now, and get my Chrome folders/bookmarks setup, and then that will be OK.

              I used Smart Switch when I upgraded my Samsung, and all Google related content just required me to login.

                You don't have to get Office 365 in order to have Office. I don't have 365, but I have current Office on my PC. You might want to check if your employer has a Home Use Purchase program the way mine does. $10 for full Enterprise Office, and it's always updated to the most recent version when they're released. And it's on my computer, not the Cloud.

                      I'm in an online program through the University of Denver for my MSW... I need to do some coursework today, and the website is down.

                      Fun.

                        Closing on a new house and having the old one sold at the end of the month is on the Anti-List.

                        My mortgage guy not being a details-oriented person is on the List. I've said for about 3 weeks now we'd need a bridge loan for about half the down payment, and we could get a "gift" from family for the other half. I turned in the gift form a week ago that clearly showed it was in an amount roughly half of the down payment. The personal loan guy handling the bridge loan said he'd talk to the mortgage guy to see if we need the bridge loan based on closing dates. I told him we'll need it, but whatever. The mortgage guy in turn hears we got a gift and thinks we no longer need a bridge loan. So he was surprised when I called today for a status update and he heard we'd still need it. Oh and even though I've told him by phone and email that we'd like to get it done ASAP so we can move up our closing date if possible to give us more time to move, when I mentioned that again today he was surprised. Meanwhile the personal loan guy hasn't returned my phone calls even though, based on the timeline he gave me last week, we need to get it moving ASAP.

                        Guess I get to hound them both all week til I see the paperwork.
