Coffee and emails, getting ready for a conference call at 930cst
Oh fun, the Friday morning conference calls. We have one here, too. But I always skip it.
this one is with a customer about adding e-giftcards to their system.
Eww.
I have a REAL meeting this morning with the national brewery.
Let us know how the samples taste!
We were turned away from the meeting that we were invited to for dressing like Americans. So we just waited outside and took a taxi back.

So - a suite and tie or knee length shorts and a Hawaiian shirt?

Dressing like americans?
Yeah, it's about 95 degrees and no air conditioning and blazing sun, so we were in dress shorts, and button down collared shirts. Still pretty hot, but not unbearable. But the cultural thing is to wear jeans and whatever shirt. So they turned us away. Not for not being dressed up, we were dressed up far more than the people that they let in. Just turned us for not wearing warmer clothes.

Ah gotcha - sounds like a weird cultural dynamic

Starting to gather info on a new kitchen... gotta touch base with the lender, but I'm beyond ready to remodel. And one of my friends is a contractor, so hopefully I'll be getting a nice price.

aww - they frowned on the short vs jeans. gotcha...
And this was the bar that turned you away? as in the bar itself had a dress code?

Yeah, dirty dress down jeans are totally okay, clean dress shorts not okay. Because the point is to make it hard to stay cool not to dress nicely.

The brewery. It's a factory and distribution plant.

Getting ready to head into Managua to go see Don Quixote at the theater tonight.

Bit of a random thought… whatever happened to that mob quixotic that used to be here a while ago?
Don’t even recall what they were building.

SodiumSuite? It stalled a bit and then TacticalRMM came along with basically way too many overlaps and it was best to just bow out as they have momentum and a great product and while it doesn't yet do everything Sodium had hoped to do, Sodium wasn't to the point of doing it either.
Quixotic makes veterinary management and marketing SMS tools now.

Speaking of things Quixotic... I came into Managua last night to see... Don Quixote at the theatro El Gato! It was a really good show.

Been a few days - still having issues with the work computer and Chrome so I haven't been signed in via work.
Playing some HamRadio, building a recycled computer for my wife to use and otherwise kicking back best I can - Next week will be a pain as half of our staff will be out.. the half that has been there 5 and 7 years respectfully... Don't know why you would let BOTH of the veteran staff have off the same week but he did.
We onboard nine people Monday, which means that we'll be down to just me running the phones and all the break/fix. and I hope to hell it goes to hell. It'll be worth it to say - don't you ever do that again.

I'm assuming by context that he's talking about a power outlet.
and he wants to plug a power strip into the outlet so he can plug two things into the single wall outlet.
Is that a good idea? well that depends on how much draw you already have on that circuit.
