Oh Shoot I Just Noticed Something
This is typically not something you want to hear when you're about to send out fliers to multiple distributors and retail stores. This is something you hear very frequently here.

Everyone that is submitting some form of advertising has to get it approved by Boss. The way this works, is that every newsletter he gets a proof. He'll read it. BUT, as he's reading it he'll find something in the first paragraph and call your desk "Oh hey I just noticed a typo on this sentence, can you fix it?" Then he gets off the phone the edit gets made. Then as he continues reading, he'll find something else, make the same exact phone call. In fact, I heard him do this about 5 or 6 times just now.

Now if I were in his shoes, this is how I would handle this. I would read the entire document first, on the screen. Then if I found an error I would type out an e-mail. Adding to it as I find other errors if they exist. After finishing the read, I'll read it again, making sure my notes match up to errors I find on my second read. Then I'll send you an e-mail, and since the matter is semi urgent I would then call you and inform you that you have an e-mail of requested edits.

The way he does it just makes life so stressful, and this is how he handles everything. What really sucks is when you're managing about ~30k products. Because guess how he gives me my work? The same way. 90% of the time it's work that I won't even be able to start that day. I have no record of receiving the request, or what the request is so I can start it when I get the chance. I used to have an e-mail setup with spiceworks. So I was doing well for a while until randomly everyone, literally everyone in the store gave up on it.

If you're organized here, you're going to have a bad time.

You're Awesome! Thank You so Much!

The past couple of days I was working on a coworkers laptop. Someone informed me that she was complaining about it running slowly, and that there were tons of pop ups. Easy fix. She left early that day so I took her laptop and got to work on it. I alway start off with MalwareBytes right when I get a computer I have to fix up because 9/10 it's packed with viruses/malware. Since I had half the day and a semi-powerful laptop I was running a full scan. Guess how many things were detected...

~500... I have no idea how you can get that infected and wait that long before you tell someone. So bam, 1/4 of the job is done. I have a fairly decent list of tools that I have to use to clear a computer out of almost everything.

Step 2, hide IE. I hate IE.

Step 3, make Chrome more visible

Step 4, install ABP on chrome

I'm not filling in with the list of my tools, but every tool turned up something different, I also found about 17 RootKits.

So I returned the computer back while she was out yesterday. I just received a phone call saying how much better it was and how grateful she is that I did that for her.

At least someone appreciates the work I do.

That's a Wrap.

Day's over with nothing new and exciting to report except that I'm going on a nice bike ride in 33mph wind.... Should be fun.

Good night! Good Weekend!
