So yesterday was a productive day… I re-fueled the boat.. Talk about a workout. I had to manually haul fuel from the local gas station back to the boat. 10 gallons at a time, 70 LBS at a time. I did 4 trips. I was exhausted.
I also used the washer/dryer here which was nice to have fresh dried clothes. Sadly the water on the dock is broken, so I haven’t been able to refill my water tanks or wash the boat. But we did get a nice rain storm yesterday which cleaned the boat pretty good.
One of the kids (well, he’s 19ish, I think?) from the family I had dinner with the other day messaged me on instagram. They moved over to the same area I am but they are anchored out, not at the docks. There’s a gym here at my marina and he messaged asking if we could go together. I said sure, told him I was busy until 4:30 but be here at 4:30 and we can go.
Well I’m out walking astra about 3ish and I get an IG message from his brother. Apparently he got in trouble for asking to go to the gym with me and I assume got his phone privileges taken away (hence why his brother told me he wasn’t coming).
The new guy at work seems like an idiot… Or at least I don’t understand his thought process. He has me, the guy who built and designed everything for the past 7 years. The main knowledge base for this company, processes, procedures, how software works, etc etc. But yet, he has not ONCE come to me asking a question about anything. We had ONE call so far where I laid out high level how things are working, what’s going on. I even clearly told him in that meeting that we as IT people have TWO accounts, a user level access account and an admin level access account. We were in a meeting with someone the other day and he mentioned needing to get access to the servers because his account didn’t have access. WTF. 1) ANY good IT person knows you do not access servers with your USER account and 2) I TOLD YOU that you have an admin account.
He also doesn’t have ANY BC background and he has yet to ask me one thing about BC, he hasn’t yet asked me for a user account to access it.
There’s some Helpdesk tickets coming in, I’ve just been watching the shit show. He replies with incorrect information. Makes poor decisions about what to do and how to handle things.
We will see how well this goes.
I think that today I will have to move to an anchor position and pick up the parents from anchor… I really really do not want to have to move the boat into the slip they have assigned to me here at the marina.
