My 5year old son has school on Tues and Thurs. He gets picked up from Daycare in the morning and taken to school. Picked up from school at 3:20pm and taken back to Daycare. After work I pick him up from Daycare anywhere from 4:30pm to 5:30pm. Today I arrived at 5:20PM He was not there. Daycare did not know where he was. The bus not only did not drop him off it did not even stop there.
My wife calls the bus company while I race to the school to find out if he is there. The bus company says the driver is already gone home but they will try to get a hold of her.
The school luckily was still open, due to a volleyball tournament.
They get a hold of the kindergarten teacher and confirm he was indeed escorted to and put on the bus after school.
The school immediately starts procedures to call the RCMP and file a missing or abducted child report.
The daycare calls my cell phone to inform me that my son was just dropped off (this is 2 hours after he was picked up from school) at the daycare.
I race back to the daycare, where my wife is also racing to. We find out that:
Son fell asleep on bus. Driver did not properly check for children on bus before going home. Driver lied about checking for children on bus (we found this out 2 hours later) Driver took bus home, locked bus, and left a FIVE YEAR OLD ASLEEP ON HER BUS
Once he was found by the driver being alerted to the fact there was a missing child the bus driver instead of informing anyone just drove him to the daycare and "apologised"
The Daycare told us when we found our son that they were immediately changing their policy for bus drop offs and no shows.
The school called us within 30 minutes of getting home and told us they were informing the school board superintendent, the director of transportation and filing a complaint with the bus company
The bus company... didn't call us for 2 hours. Not even when they found our son to say "We found him and are taking him to the Daycare"
To their credit the company immediately suspended the driver pending investigation and told us the result will most likely be the loss of her job as she could not explain how she missed seeing a child on her bus when their policy is to check every seat before locking the bus for the night.
So tomorrow I have to go to a "round table" with the school principal, the Daycare supervisor, the school board superintendent, a representative from the Transportation department, and the manager of the bus company...

Jesus that’s awful. I’m glad your kid is okay though and it sounds like measures are being taken to prevent this from happening again!

Woke up Sunday morning to the sensation of something sharp in my mouth, and spitting out hard crunchy things.
Call the dentist on Monday. Appointment for Tuesday.
Go in today.
"Ah yes, your wisdom tooth that came in sideways shattered."
"Ah."
"I will grind it down so it's poking your cheek less, but you need to get an appointment with the oral surgeon."
*grinding sounds and nearly choking on my own teeth dust*
Front desk
"Ah, the oral surgeon is booked to hell. Soonest for a consultation is in a month. Call us if something changes between now and then, and we'll give you a referral to a surgeon that's less booked."

Something happened that managed to bring back every bit of hurt over an incident that happened to a previous character, and I'm really OOC struggling to get past it. Man. It's been like three years and I thought I was over it.
Just goes to show that sometimes the stupid crap sticks in your head forever.

I've been in a pretty bad way the last couple of weeks, with the issues at hand coming to a head yesterday. Unfortunately, they are not going to go away. I'm hoping this means I'll bury my head in Glomdoring festival planning and play more, but, I apologize in advance if my bad mood ever boils over.
‘It’s important to be kind. You can’t know all the times that you’ve hurt people in tiny, significant ways. It’s easy to be cruel without meaning to be. There’s nothing you can do about that. But you can choose to be kind. Be kind.’
You know that feeling when you're waiting and waiting and waiting and you've actually got time so the waiting drags out even longer? That's where I'm at. I'm so tired of being frustrated about waiting endlessly. I'm tired of hearing it on my own head.

Woke up dizzy to the point of nausea. Got a doctor's appointment with someone who wasn't my primary (but still on my insurance) and it turns out...my ears were so full of wax it was impacting my dizzy...abilities. Oh, words.
Which my primary refuses to look at. She won't do ear cleanings ever, despite us both knowing I get terrible ear wax. >:( So now I have to go to an ENT because the wax was so bad that they couldn't get it out at the other doctor's office.
But they got enough out I'm not throwing up dizzy anymore.

For what it’s worth, you made the right call going to an ENT. I didn’t have insurance when I had the same condition and went to a nearby minute clinic, which blasted my ear with water irrigation. What followed was a bunch of super fun ear infections, which eventually led me to an ENT anyway! Sometimes a specialist is the right call.

So I'm pretty sure my mudlet profile got corrupted. Maybe its fixable I don't know - but even loading old versions of the profile didn't fix it (was acting like it didn't recognize the prompt so defup stuff queue wasn't working). So I've gone down the rabbit hole of setting up a new profile and trying to remember all the options I had and even where/how to set them. This sucks and is awful and I hate it.

Now, now. Everyone knows you store a backup copy in a dedicated cloud service, on a forgotten memory stick, elsewhere on your harddrive, and in your e-mail cloud. Minimum! (least once you lose it once, RIP )
Thanks to server side curing for saving a lot of the potential headache of needing and reconfiguring a full system. Most of my own aliases I recovered too. Scavenging add-on packages and figuring our settings will be lingering pain but manageable.
edit: To make this a dissatisfaction. The 4 hours of sleep because I stayed up late to fix and my asshole cat then woke me at 6. Will be a fun day at work. Coffee get me through today.

Man, I hear you. When I first returned to Lusternia, I had to move from MUSHclient to Mudlet, which I never really figured out. Now I’m on Nexus and still slowly piecing a set of reflexes together. SSC is an absolute game changer, as is path tracking.

My mudlet profile corrupts occasionally when I leave it open too long. Usually going back a day or so gives me an uncorrupted one so there might be something salvageable?
You know how you plan things just right? To have enough time for everything, to not have anything scheduled during a certain time, to be able to take it easy and really enjoy the holidays to the fullest. Yep, all out the window. Do not have as much time in the lead up to holidays as I planned but I'll do my best!
So the entirety of the semester we focused on Linux, network ports/services, and pretty basic scanning. Midway through our prof asked us to teach one topic each, so that he could 'focus on creating a final'. We agreed. End of the semester, the Sunday before finals, he announces that he hasn't finished it, but our final is going to be breaking into this box that this website just came out with. "Don't worry, it'll be easy."
Ok... except that it's entirely about Windows, has nothing to do with anything else from all semester, and was assigned - seemingly - to address a complaint from ONE student who wanted to do more on Windows. Which... that'd have been nice, if we didn't have to teach ourselves all the information in literally three days. And if you've never done pentesting, let me assure you: It's a ton of information. There's no easy answers for how to do anything, just reading, more reading, figuring out command-line options, and then trying something else because nothing you're doing is working and you have no idea why because it could be anything.
In. Three. Days. Meanwhile, I was the only person dumb enough to agree to do a research paper/presentation and give it that same week. I stayed up for days straight trying to force myself to keep reading and not fall asleep.
Really, though, I'm not even mad about having to do it because I like the material... just angry it's graded and nothing about it felt fair, at all.
One month of waiting to see the oral surgeon at the dentist's office, to be told they can't do anything at this office, and I need a referral to a different oral surgeon.
Because I'm going to be knocked out, since they need to break teeth bones and stuff to get the shattered wisdom tooth out.
Fuuuuuun times. Consultation on the 23rd. So a better turn around on that than this last visit. *sigh*

Was kind of sick and am now quite sick. Basically just sleeping at all opportunities I get unless I'm too restless to stay asleep, so might not log in for long or at very weird times.

I'm only here because I caught the flu and was sick of being in bed alone all the time. Hi. I'm still not over it. get better very soon.
In continuation of my general work suckiness (highly technical term), I misread my hours on clocking out previously, and almost freaked out when I saw I was just below 50 hours clocking out tonight, with six more hours left on my work week. Sigh. I really do need the money though.
