[02:15:26] <Bytram> That does it, I'm knackered. Waking way too early, and then to have the site fall over was not on my list of "Favorite ways to start my day".
[02:16:02] <Bytram> maybe I just need more experience/practice?
[02:16:24] <Bytram> Just no time soon, please!
[02:17:07] <Bytram> Have a great night everybody!

[14:28:22] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: o/ Good morning! In Buffalo?
[14:28:30] <AzumaHazuki> o/
[14:28:35] <AzumaHazuki> yes, going home in a few hours
[14:28:53] <Bytram> So, it all worked out?
[14:29:02] <AzumaHazuki> hope corporate pulls their head out and tells me where to transfer to soon...but yes, i put down the deposit
[14:29:25] <Bytram> awesome!
[14:29:46] <Bytram> #weather buffalo, new york
[14:29:48] <MrPlow> Buffalo, NY, USA - Today: "Rain in the morning." 71/63F, Humidity: 90%, Precip: 93%, Wind ~10mph. Sun: "Partly cloudy throughout the day." 74/62F, Humidity: 87%, Precip: 28%, Wind ~6mph. Mon: "Clear throughout the day." 78/62F, Humidity: 76%, Precip: 5%, Wind ~3mph.
[14:31:20] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: Hmm, maybe stop by a couple sites and see if you can get them to help? Instead of getting corp to push, get a location there to help pull?
[14:32:27] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, i got some phone numbers :)
[14:32:58] <Bytram> good!
[14:33:42] <Bytram> fwiw, I sometimes find an in-person connection -- how can I help you out? goes a long ways.
[14:34:13] <AzumaHazuki> it really does, yeah
[14:34:18] <Bytram> =)
[14:34:38] <AzumaHazuki> the northwestern PA district manager is actually working on this, which was a nice surpruse
[14:34:40] <AzumaHazuki> surprise*
[14:34:51] <Bytram> Heck, store might be busy and you can jump in and give 'em a hand?
[14:34:59] <Bytram> =)
[14:36:05] <AzumaHazuki> yeah. and i made it a point to rent in a place i can get to no fewer than eight branches of said store within 45 minutes on a bus at all times during, before, and after hours
[14:36:34] <Bytram> you go girl!
[14:37:19] <AzumaHazuki> well, i don't go till August and then only if corporate doesn't fuck up
[14:37:30] <Bytram> so pick *your* preferred branch and stop by
[14:37:47] <Bytram> people remember when you help them out of a jam
[14:37:49] <AzumaHazuki> i'm worried, too...the aftereffects of this coronavirus plague are going to be astrnomical, and Buffalo is already shaky. lots of protests happen here. i am probably going to stay well away from the capitol
[14:38:51] <Bytram> use that to your advantage -- pick where YOU want to work, stop by, say Hi, and ask if there's anything you can do to help?
[14:40:02] <Bytram> they'll probably say no, but they will also probably remember your willingness to be helpful... I know *I* would!
[14:40:22] <AzumaHazuki> yup, did that last time
[14:40:30] <AzumaHazuki> it helps i can speak just enough spanish to be useful
[14:40:34] <Bytram> Also, consider checking out "competitors" and alternatives
[14:40:45] <Bytram> Oui!
[14:40:47] <Bytram> ;)
[14:41:02] <AzumaHazuki> oh yeah. i intend to see if i can get hired at a hospital here at some point, too. or maybe pursue an ulrasound cert

[22:23:05] <Bytram> Fnord666: !!
[22:23:29] <Fnord666> Afternoon
[22:23:47] <Bytram> howz thingz?
[22:24:03] <Fnord666> Going OK. Yourself?
[22:24:18] <Bytram> just woke from a nap -- better!
[22:24:26] <Fnord666> Noice!
[22:24:50] <Bytram> still struggling with the story asking for financial help for the site
[22:25:34] <Bytram> don't want it to sound like we're begging "Send us your monies!"
[22:25:41] <Fnord666> I saw that in the story queue
[22:25:55] <Bytram> also want to show we're being frugal
[22:26:46] <Bytram> but also am trying to not come off as self-justified, either. Since we've done so well, you *owe* us!
[22:27:44] <Bytram> I read someplace long ago "The difference between a request and a demand is obvious to anyone."
[22:28:18] <Fnord666> A balancing act worthy of a Walenda.
[22:28:33] <Bytram> very well put!
[22:28:42] <Bytram> thanks for that!
[22:29:01] <Bytram> Hmmm, I wonder how we've done in the past?
[22:30:11] <Fnord666> That would be interesting to research
[22:30:18] <Bytram> I *think* we are in a better place right now that we were at this point in the prior half-year
[22:30:45] <Bytram> there are some docs somewhere... up on the Wiki IIRC
[22:30:57] * Bytram goes spelunking
[22:30:57] <Fnord666> Percentage wise or $$-wise?
[22:31:37] <Bytram> there is a complication,,,
[22:32:49] <Bytram> there was a stretch where, having no hard information to go other that site hosting costs, I set fund-raising goals too low in the Beg-o-Meter
[22:33:02] <Bytram> there was a stretch where, having no hard information to go on other that site hosting costs, I set fund-raising goals too low in the Beg-o-Meter
[22:33:52] <Bytram> So %-wise we were doing better, but as a % of actual costs, not as good.
[22:34:15] <Bytram> I really need to find those docs

[23:59:23] <Bytram> Fnord666: watch out -- the Intel die shrink story lost links and tags
[23:59:32] <Fnord666> ugh
[23:59:37] <Fnord666> I'll check it
[23:59:48] <Bytram> thanky!
