May. 7th, 2025 07:24 amI fell asleep during Spring Baking Championship but woke up just as it ended so decided to rewind back to where I fell asleep and watch it again. I then watched the last two episodes of this season of The Neighborhood before going to bed. I managed just under three hours (that for some reason are not showing on my daily tracker?) before I had to get up and then spent a large part of the night in the bathroom.
When I started my job, we used Skype for business but we've been using teams for a few years now. About a year ago, they told us that Skype was not to be used any longer but a few of us still had to have it on our computers in order for us to make and receive calls (only when I try to call my cell, I get a message that my phone is not set up for that?).
Last week I received an email saying Skype for business was going away and would be removed from my computer (except the task bar icon keeps showing up after I reboot?) and gave me instructions for connecting (downloading?) our new phone system.
I cannot for the life of me get past the verification page. When this first happened, I thought it was simulated spam (I tend to get one three to four times a week) and marked it as such. However, when I tried to call my office number from my cell, I got a message that the phone wasn't set up.
That's when I contacted the IT guy who sent the email. He's a busy guy and didn't respond for several hours. Not that it matters as this was not an urgent issue at the time. I tried off and on over the next day to get it. I even tried the other verification method but with the same result.
Then today, I received an invite to the quarterly meeting (which is mandatory) so I tried again. Still cannot get in.
Today I noticed a link to 'send feedback' so I clicked it and stated my issue (it gave me the option of 'no success after multiple attempts' or 'other'). I'm hoping this gets resolved soon since I have this meeting I need to attend.
Also, I have decided to push my start time back to 8am. I am finding myself having to space out my work in the mornings and I want to avoid that.
Backstory-ish: I work for a gasoline distribution company in their consignment department. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays we have to have certain sites (VIP sites) done by 11am so that my boss can process them for draft/payment. Most of our sites now import into our accounting software but that process is not run until after 9am meaning I have to wait to 'key' (process) most of my VIP sites. I hadn't pushed my start time back yet because I wasn't sure I could get them all done on Mondays (the only day our VIPs are allowed to be more than one day out) in time. But this hasn't been an issue for a while now so I thought, why not. Plus, most of my teammates work past 4 or 4:30 but three of them have kids and have to leave for an hour or so in the afternoon to get them from school.
