@churley79 I took that photo while we were resetting the pull station, before going back to the main panel to do the reset (the alarm company didn't give us the annunciator passcode when they installed the system a couple of years ago).
A small child pulled the fire alarm in the school where my office is today. Thankfully I was around, because I was the only one in the building who knew how to shut it off!

@MightyBigCar If I recall correctly, the 2010 Escape doesn't have a thermal flasher unit.
Replaced a melted load resistor on my LED turn signals. I hate that the line it's on is also for my brake lights.
I would like to take a moment to talk about the Windows 10 1704 "night light" feature. It's great, but so far it likes to get stuck in the enabled state. We'll see how tonight goes.
I should not have had that much chocolate milk for breakfast.
Trackpad fix, take 3: obscure registry settings controlling the Microsoft PTP driver. Hope this works.
False alarm (so far). An update to Windows 1704 seems to have a better trackpad experience. Fingers crossed!
@rascalking Thankfully I already have two UAP-AC-PRO access points in the house so hopefully I won't have a huge issue. Let's see how well a fresh Windows install works. Failing that, I'll see if I can get warranty service or something.
Holy balls, the trackpad on the XPS 13 is horrible. It keeps freezing. Might return this computer and go for the HP Spectre
Student came into my office because he couldn't find his phone. (We can give a rough estimate of where missing devices are located.) It shows as in my office. I informed the student he probably had his device. It was in his bag. That was the high point of my day.
The weather could get a little hairy in some parts of the US today... wonder if my @Tornado_Emergency bot will spring to life. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2017/day1otlk_20170426_1300.html
Ah yes when they called HSPA+ 4G (it wasn't lol):

@indi @eurasierboy Beware Apple's 30% cut of that! That's $245 per awoo!
Finally got a message about a computer I've had listed on one of those "sell-your-stuff" apps for like three weeks. Maybe today is getting better.
@zoeclaire She is! Her favorite thing to do is sit in a human's lap and purr loudly.
I'm feeling really drained after a stressful day. Not even the cat sitting in my lap is helping.

Oh hey look, drama came to me today.
How cool is your day, fediverse?
Hey look, lots of drama in the workplace that I will gleefully enjoy staying as far away from as I can.
