Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #35 2024 (Monday 09/02/24 - Sunday 09/08/24)

IsayUncle September 2nd

I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today. 

But importantly, talk about getting it done..... or why it didn't happen yet.

To praise each other for our efforts and wins.

While supporting each other through trials and setbacks.

And to continue trying and not give up.

Remember: 
Every Goal should be considered "Worthy".
Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments!
Whether they be Complex or Simple.
Getting out of bed is a good day..... Good job I say!

Share your goals today, for support and encouragement.

A Reminder For Me This Week..... (Shared)
Desire for more invites dissatification for what we have and diminishes our accomplishments.

ALWAYS BE PROUD OF YOUR PROGRESS. 
Acknowledge, Absorb, Appreciate
YOU.

It's a new week? I don't want my alarm to go off in the morning....

My tasks are pretty much the same as last week. Get my assignment done (I'm actually ahead this time. My next assignment is to create a CSS for the web page but I already did that. Haven't figured out how to get the background in each of the sections though) and get my work done plus ignore the baying from the supervisors. Incidentally, I found that one or two co-workers were mad when I got in trouble for stuff that wasn't entirely my fault a year or so ago. I am aware that holding on to grudges isn't exactly good but my feelings about the company and management changed that day. The environment is not one that I should be in long-term.

But now, I'm going to give the dog her nighttime treats and get ready for bed.

@IsayUncle That's because most everyone is taking the holiday off. I did run into the supervisor from the other side that trained me when I was a temp. worker. He agreed with my feelings, said that management at this office is poor compared to the corporate office. He's tried to transfer a couple of times but they won't let him because he's doing the majority of the work. I'd consider the corporate office but I don't want to deal with the downtown traffic. That wouldn't reduce the stress even if the job and management was better.

So many people are unhappy here.

@Enthenia

frsometimes it's just nice to run into somebody that agrees with you or even just understands what you're talking about period. So that was nice.

So I'm thinking 2 hours tangled up in traffic for 8 hours of good working conditions. That is a tough consideration to lose that much time out of your day but to be balanced by good possibilities or unseen possibilities. I can understand your dilemma but maybe it'll be an option when you're ready to throw in the towel and sink the ship and blow up something. 😁. Might be nice to go to the corporate office for a change of pace and take on those challenges for a while

@IsayUncle I live in a tourist town. Lots of hotels where the corporate office is. I used to work across the street in another hotel (different company). Traffic wasn't too bad back then but they've built up other attractions near the place and that section of town really didn't have many through streets so I can only imagine what it's like now. And right now there are no openings at the corporate office. I checked. Only thing open was a financial accountant but I don't know enough about that to apply although I do wonder how some of the people I work with got their jobs...

Anyone know what's going on with the main page? Keep getting errors like I did a week or so again no matter what browser or device I use.

Oh, and I still need to do background checks for people. Turned out to be a week behind pulling reports for one state and the new reports will probably come out tomorrow so I'll be swamped again.

I'm not having any trouble with my homepage.. i haven't heard of others saying anything but i don't know

good luck on your work stuff today and that corporate office thing can be a background idea something good comes up. But hopefully by then you're following your own path of employment doing what you like with a much better company or for yourself. 😀

@IsayUncle I got an http error. Was just for the main page. Other pages would work fine. Tried my mobile, work computer and my home computer using Opera, Firefox, Edge and Google but I would get an error each time when I tried to view the dashboard. The message varied from browser but it was basically the same error.

Happened one day last week too. Just on the dashboard page.

---Maybe one day this week I can look at the grade on my assignment.

@IsayUncle Desire can coexist with gratitude<3 I feel it is important to have things to want and work for :) it keeps us going but yes a constant comparison of what we have and what we don't is not healthy. I'm grateful to have a piece of cake while looking forward to having another *-* or a whole cake or two or three °-° Hmm I guess I get what you mean :D

Happy Monday and start to a new week.....This week should be pretty status quo for me, with the exception that high school soccer starts so I have to do all the things that go along with supporting the boy for this....only this year, it will be a little easier now that he has his drivers license and will have a car.  I do have to get myself signed up for the concessions....games to work the stand and crockpot meals and snacks to bring....other than that, I'm going to try to relax because next week and the week after are going to be hectic at work for me do to covering for people who are out for surgery and PFMLA....I'll be changing my schedule again, working on my days off, taking different days off, etc....I'll be so glad once all the employees are back and things are "normal" if there is such a thing. 

Anyway, I shared this last week in 7 cups but can't quite remember if it was this thread or another, but I feel like it needs to be shared again....

Gosh the concessions and crockpot meals and snacks responsibilities sound overwhelming to me! And that on top of a full time job! Good luck getting some rest this week in preparation for the next two! You seem to have a good attitude about it!


I love what you shared about taking care of yourself - good reminder and easy to forget how much it makes a difference!

Good morning and Happy Tuesday.  I took today off of work to get some things done.  Honestly, I could have probably gotten them done after work, but my son does have a soccer game at 4pm so I'd be rushed and stressed so my answer was to take the day off and do the things.....the things I need to do, you ask?  My son is buying his first "used" car.....since today is his first day of school, my task today is to make sure it get insured, registered and inspected....

I hope everyone in this thread meets their goals for the day and the week.....

I almost commented on the post for the previous week then checked the date.

Got caught up with the customer info and changed the date on the reports from Aug. to Sep. (I don't know what month it is. Of course being in a heat advisory *again* doesn't help). Also had to reprint one because one site does last name, first name and another site does first name, last name & I forgot to switch. Would be my luck that the supervisors would pick that one to review and email everyone about it...

Got rent scheduled. May have some money left over to pay other bills. Going to check the university's site since the new reports haven't been uploaded yet. IT probably took yesterday off. I was here. I don't mind working in a practically empty office. Not nearly as much stress when no one is really about.

The new billing session for the university is next week so if there are any refunds, it'll probably be then.

Didn't really make any progress. The time I was going to use to look at my grade on the assignment and start on the next assignment was spent on redoing the reports I ran that day. I failed to do an email validation for one of the sites we use the background reports on and the social security numbers were masked. I saw the X's at a glance but didn't think anything about it. I was trying to get them all finished because one of the supervisors was asking about it. 

Even if I had gotten around to it yesterday, I wouldn't have accomplished anything because one of the sites was down for the holiday. So the same supervisor and one of the managers confronted me about the masked social and I was trying to finish something else on the VPN. Certain things work only on the VPN, other things don't.

So I was trying to log onto the site and it kept giving me errors and I couldn't figure out why because I knew the username and the password was right and I have the supervisor and manager standing behind me and yes, I start to panic. Then the supervisor tells me to calm down like she's talking to a child. Yes, that annoyed me. First, if it's not a big issue and if it can wait, don't come up to me like it's a big deal. Secondly, don't talk down to me like I'm a simpleton. 

I eventually realized what was wrong (the VPN) and I submitted what I had been in the middle of doing (was finished; just needed to validate) and signed off of the VPN. Then I was able to log in to the other site and redo the report the supervisor had looked at. They said that I didn't have to redo all the ones I had done today but I did anyway because I didn't want to get in trouble over them again. Then I had to replace the files in the three locations.

Sent the supervisor a message stating that all of the erroneous ones were replaced. Didn't apologize or make excuses because I could get in trouble for that. But, if I had left the erroneous ones where they were, I could have gotten in trouble for that too.

I doubt I'll be able to look at my assignments tomorrow because tomorrow we'll probably have the reports for last month. 

I'm just getting really tired of everything I do being wrong.

@Enthenia I really feel bad for you with your work. It's obvious to me and I'm sure the others here - that you're doing your best to do what you need to for the job and you work hard at it. It sounds so stressful trying to keep up with the demands that they keep bringing to you. Their system is old and slow and they keep changing their minds on how they want things done. I'm glad the person that trained you agreed and helped validate what you're dealing with. Is corporate aware that the management is so bad there? Is there a way to make them aware if they aren't? An anonymous "tip"? I mean I totally understand if you couldn't but it sure is fun to think about them getting into trouble once. *sending you some good vibes*

Actually reviewed the first assignment. Have to resubmit it. The .doc wasn't supposed to be in the zipped file and I have to have a web hosting account (which I thought, but that wasn't specifically in the instructions, just on the reading list.) 

But, I'd rather deal with that than work although the reports for last month have just been loaded so I guess I'm behind again...

But, I have only two days left to the week and then I get a reprieve. And most of the supervisors aren't in the office Thursday and Friday so that's something.

I had to set up the environment for the webpage to be viewable places other than my computer. Basic knowledge I suppose but it's been a looong time since I did a web site and I don't think I ever had to do a domain 

So technically the code is right, I just can't get the environment set up. That's giving me an error. I emailed the professor and found an article with updated instructions. Hopefully one of those options will give me a solution to the error and I can continue with my assignments.

I am so confused on this assignment. I have my basic code down and have tried to deploy it. I've even tried to do AWS and the free hosting site recommended in the reading list. The free hosting site says to create a database. Why do I need a database just for the homepage?

Fortunately, the target date for the 2nd assignment is the 14th so maybe I can get it figured out by then.

cloudySummer September 7th

@Enthenia Depends upon the selected CMS. If you don't use one, or use one that doesn't use a DB, just uploading the web pages, exposing them to the web and getting a certificate should suffice.
