You know how some days you have bad timing, today was one of those with good timing.
I got my 3D printer restarted right before the tree trimmers came and my meeting were done and tree trimmers were done right before my PT. I got to my PT in the nick of time and after that got to HOA meeting (ok they did not attend) and I got home in time to finish some scheduled work and watch a movie or two with my wife.
It was an extremely tough week, but it ended with this exchange which made me smile.
So my mom calls me said she wants a radio for her birthday.
I said "ok",
then she said, "the one I can put tape inside".
I am stunned at this point, so I said "I don't think they sell those anymore."
She then said "what do you listen on now then CD?"
I literly can't speak for a second. "Radios don't come with those anymore either"
So she said "just buy it at Radio Shack."
I am more stunned.
I told her "Radio Shack closed years ago, I will get something for you on Amazon. "
I then said "I thought you want to come here for your birthday"
She said yeah, "can you send me money, just in case I want to eat something on the plane."
Then I reminded her "planes don't take cash anymore." for context she doesn't have a credit card
We spoke some more and we will figure it out.
After I hung up and my son comes in saying he heard all that, then asked me what Radio Shack was.
I had to laugh at what just happened, it made me feel good.
I just HAD to update my post. A friend Ronzell actually fixed my 3D printer
First Good 3D Print where the XYZ are pretty clean. Took over 2 years for it to print out a clean print.
Also he was interested in my CNC that is not even unpacked.
For future reference it is a SainSmart Genmitsu CNC 3018-PRO.
Kind of a heartbreaking day today, I was reprimanded by my boss today. I made a mistake, but the thing that hurt was I let him down. I pride myself with the quality of work.
A lot of things lead to my mistake but in the end, I my workflow is faulty.
90% of the time a like my job, but today I was reminded that the 10% exists.
Not sleepwalk, but a good sleep and a decent walk.
I slept from about 11PM to 8AM, so it was a good sleep. Fitbit said I slept for 7 hours 19 minutes. Felt more but it was a good sleep. I scored a rare “good” sleep.
Walked in the evening, and it was a tough one even though it was only 2 miles.
