Day 2 of not being able to get connected remotely to my work desktop. Frustrating to say the least. After the new Windows version installed, which took a couple of hours, it was finally about 6pm my time when we got to test it out and of course that didn't fix the problem and it's time for the IT to go home, so they said they'll have to start working on it again this morning. I can sign in, but as soon as it does it freezes and then kicks me back off. Just seems so strange that it can go from working all day Wednesday to suddenly "nope, not gonna connect you anymore". Let alone strange that they can't figure it out.
This morning, my boss who is on vacation, called our IT and escalated me to highest priority. Another tech called me and after about an hour or so he had me back up and working ok so far. Keeping my fingers crossed. Everything on my work desktop seems to be working at a faster rate, too, which is nice. His last comment made it sound like it was something with their new VPN program, it wasn't staying "stable" which was why it kept disconnecting me. Which makes sense because all my problems started after they installed this new VPN.
The assistant caregiver did show up at 6:15 to make sure mom got her meds. Not sure about getting her downstairs this morning. With only one camera working, I'm only seeing half her apartment. She was dressed and walking across her living room at 8:15, so obviously not downstairs yet, but with this one camera view it doesn't catch motion at her door. It's the camera on the shelf under her tv, so basically I can just see her recliner and her sink area. At least when I talk to her at some point each day, she is much better mental thought wise. She still has her apartment keys, I see and she's been watching tv with no problems. A little bit still worried about her "accounts" every so often, but nothing like she was while on that medication.
I just ordered an "accent" chair for one of our guest bedrooms from Wayfair. I had $44 in rewards to use ( $24 from the purchase of my office sofa and $20 for doing a review on it) so that saved me some. It's supposed to ship right away and be here next week.
At least, you can work now. That would make me nuts, going slow or not having it work.
ReplyDeleteShow us a picture of the chair, please. I have wondered about wayfair. there is a chesterfield chair, sort of grape colored that I would love. Of course, I am not going to get it ever, but still.
So, what was the explanation for why they did not help your mother and why they did not tell you they were not coming. I can see an emergency one day, but I would expect them to tell you they missed coming. After all, this is your MOTHER!
I will post a picture of the chair once I get it and place it in the bedroom. I have ordered quite a few things/furniture from Wayfair and have only been disappointed in one item, that wasn't as described. Mom's caregiver didn't really give an explanation - she tried to say that my mom got her meds the evening before my text and she was down for breakfast that morning....to which I had to reply, that is because I called and took care of it. Then she said her schedule can change every day because she has hospice clients, but said she will do better. So, I'm giving it another try.
DeleteYour mom does sound to be doing a bit better doesn't she. Thank goodness you stopped that medication!
ReplyDeleteShe does seem a lot more calmed down and not worrying about everything. She didn't even call me last evening to ask how much she was paying "this lady" LOL.
