What did you do today?

Ty, from what I understood there's 2 lvls left: technical test & big boss interview.
Just went through round #3 of my job interview (lasted 1h30). Made it to round #4, technical tests.
This will take the form of either a coding game or an interview with a technical guy. Finger crossed.
Hope you succeed!
Those laptops are probably HP EliteBooks. Not bad but like with Dell Latitudes and Lenovo ThinkPads, I have lost faith in them.nooo not X201
today I had work also. wasn't as bad, just that the district bought the cheapest DisplayPort to HDMI dongles ever and some teachers were having screen issues. also, the laptops provided are blasphemous to the glorious ThinkPad: they don't even have center clicks on the trackpoint buttons and they're silver (gasps).
Ooooooh!Received a bunch of stock for Lux Industries, as well as a NFC S4M
That. Is. Awesome! I'm rooting for you!Just went through round #3 of my job interview (lasted 1h30). Made it to round #4, technical tests

Finally took pics of my ZS-A4 so I can sell it.
YAS! I coveted the business focused ones when I got my first IT job.two words for you:
panasonic toughbook.
(yep, they're "elitebooks")
Today was mostly working on computers. Primary job is a HP shop. I worked on seven EliteBooks of the same model to try and get more than one working one in more pristine condition. I changed the address that the device I ordered is going to. The device has not gone out yet despite confirming that so I'm not sure what will happen there. I am now on a week "mandatory" vacation as vacation days don't roll over. One of my colleagues is "jealous" given the time they have to work before they get theirs. I suggested that they check with HR to amend their employment agreement. So yeah, I'll be on here more often next week.
(Perhaps I'm just tired) Until there is truly a way to walkaway, I live in default.(GASPS)
HERETIC! STALLMAN WILL CURSE YOU!
i was kidding... you know how crazy some thinkpad users get...
For the third day in a row, I have managed to wake up at a "normal person" time.
point of no return time ,_, hopefully my time machine back works just enough to undo the partitioning workarounds for that hybrid MBR setup
(if OSX is in order before Windows 7 you can't add a partition after them, but if Windows 7 and a separate space partition is first then you can install OSX after them. thank goodness Windows 10 left the inflexibility of MBR ,_,)
EDIT: yay it survived! time to get windows 10 up

Enjoy your vacation, though!
oh shit i remembered why i didn't install windows 10 for the MBP when it first came out ( /)_(\ the blackscreen discrete GPU issue
YOU WERE THERE?! OMG I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE ¡-¡
EDIT: seriously i feel less horrible for myself now ,_, all the frustration i had with trying to make that thing work
making plans to transition away from using a mac now (yes i have a PC and that's my 90% machine). problem is figuring out using an iPhone on a windows environment. getting photos out painlessly would be an issue
man the prices on laptops are pretty steep these days ,_, that problem I'll leave it to when i need one again

I meant in the case of getting Windows 10 to work as it's supposed to. You could get an off-lease or refurbished business-grade laptop. I agree on you with new laptop prices. I can build the equivalent to a Huawei Matebook D 14 (cheapest Ryzen Mobile laptop yet) with more.
I'm trying to get used to a new way to hold my mouse going from using my index and middle finger (2nd and 3rd) for left and right mouse button, to index and ring finger (2nd and 4th). This because the former means I have two unused fingers dragging on the right of my mouse, often causing friction when swooping to the right.
It's difficult to fight many years of muscle memory, but the biggest issue is that I often just forget to hold it the new way.
