hi I'm Alice hi I'm Justin and you're listening to the otterly Alisa podcast who knows what we'll talk [Music] about like so your devices will they'll be on one and then they'll see there's good strength from the other one and so they'll hop from and then that slows it down when they're when they're not properly overlapped yeah I think is what happens unless that technology has changed I don't know but I don't know um yeah I'm still probably not I networking was always my weakest um yeah strength I worked in a knock for two years but not my jam I can make a cat six cable though I've done that I've done cat five I didn't do cat six yeah and I've ran Cable in a wall with the little fishing stuff fishing thing yeah I think you I think you remember me telling me that I remember when I knew it was way above my head was we were and this is back in my data center days we were trying to do a failover between data centers and um it was between two Sands so one sand was had control and the other one was being copied to replicated and what would happen it was it would fail over but it couldn't fail back so it would go that direction but it wouldn't come back and I remember like the net the senior network engineer got in there and he's like in the load balancer logs and he's like oh I see this little packet I'm like are are you freaking kidding me like you could get in there and see this one little packet means whatever it end up meaning yeah but area oh my video is awful jeez what is going on let me I'm plugged directly in I so OBS Studio updated and I bet there's a setting or something that's messing up my video here talk while I troubleshoot okay what am I talking about I don't know um how Deltas talk about your Deltas o I have two more to go um I have to do CSM and itsm I always save itsm for last I don't know why I just always have and I have to do some more continuing education for my CMA points that one's always the hardest for me CU I just don't have the time to like sit and take like micro Sears right so I I can count so at SK the training we're doing I get to count that so the medic the medic training so have you started the book yet no but enough people have started it that I keep having to flip to what they're talking about instead I'll like read half a chapter of what they were talking about so I can converse I have not started it yet but I'm trying to finish the book I'm reading I have like two chapters left and then I'll hop into that one but yeah H I just killed my video I'm trying to see I'm not streaming do you want to know the crazy thing that's happening to me right now yes so my teams is the new teams you know and if I in a meeting and I share everything's fine but then if I stop sharing my entire team's crashes and even if someone like takes the share from me my entire teams crashes and so you can imagine in the middle of a customer Workshop when you're trying to like share and do like a demo and then you need to unshare it's the best like meeting excuse ever though like oh sorry I got disconnected well literally every time so the last because I'm on an advisory project right now and I'm doing like the technical side and the the groups have never even seen the platform like they they some of them have never even heard of it and so the advisory consultant does the first part and then I go in and kind of walk through like saying you know that thing you talked about that would be here and so every time I'm like I'm going to pre-apologize my teams is haunted and when I stop sharing it crashes so they've been very nice about it but and you're mab Pro right no I'm using an iMac an iMac I took David's iMac okay and I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it it doesn't do it on my MacBook it only does it on here and I don't know what to do but cuz I've done all the things I know about so if you go into the setting for allow these applications to to record and view my screen do you know where that setting is yes is is the new teams enabled on that one I'll have to look after this cuz I don't know um I think so cuz I'm pretty sure I turned it on when I installed allow applications to record your record your screen so when you get done search for that it's under screen and system audio recording and then it'll list the apps and then I would just make sure the new teams is there cuz my classic one is there and I turned it off my new teams I had to turn it on I think you just need a new um you need a new computer no you need a new iMac state to the art oh oh oh you want to hear so okay this is good we're on our podcast we're not on other meeting um I I think I said on our last podcast I bought a microphones yes for recording in Vegas um so I bought the microphones they are supposed to be here Friday by 7:00 p.m. it's like we're just like totally last minute this like yeah getting in by the squeak of my pants squeak of my pants I don't know if that's the thing but um squeak of your pants the what the seat of your the seat of your pants there you go squeak on my face sounds like I'm farting all over the place yeah um so I it's supposed to be here and then I log in this morning I get in my office and the company that I bought them from they're called DJI it's where I buy most of my video equipment and stuff like that this I I get an email from them they've released the Next Generation microphone I'm like I haven't even gotten the old one yet and you seriously just upgraded it can you email them back and be like hey I'm going to I will use these once and I will mail them back I'm going to email them and be like I'll pay the price difference because it's $100 more but like I'd rather have this last for five more years than right you know I bought something at the end of the life cycle it makes me think of like apple like I you know I love my Apple products but every time like you know your phone starts to get out a date and they just like it slows down it makes me think of that with the microphones and then I saw a me I don't know if it was a real ad but it said like apple was testing like creating EVs and someone put man that's gonna suck when the new version comes out and your car won't start like so true yeah or it or it slows down because it won't go above 20 miles an hour yeah my I'm going through that with my MacBook Air right now it's from 2014 oh wow and now in the top and when I plug it in it goes there's issues with your battery please see support for uh and I'm that's like seriously yeah you just want me to buy a new laptop yeah but I think that's any I think any laptop that's 10 years old you're going to I'm impressed it's made it this long to be honest say that's not just an apple b but I'm like I I just spent money on the microphones and the I've also bought um uh tripods that were supposed to fit in my luggage but they don't sure well I measured them and I where I measured my luggage and I looked at the measurement online and I somehow got my numbers crossed and they won't fit in my lug so I'm going to try to sneak them on the plane we'll see I mean do you not have bigger luggage I do but I don't have bigger luggage that I can't that I can carry on oh so you can carry on yeah the one that's that I want to carry on I'm thinking of just sliding them on top of the thing that and see if I can just sneak past the you can buy those luggage straps and just strap it on yeah I'm hoping that like so but I have to take them off to Stow it but I'm just hoping yeah I'm Deb so I never I hate checking bags like I have a gift of packing like it's impressive even David's like I don't know how you fit all this crap in your carryon but from here to Charlotte we're always on the little planes and so they have to gate check my bag mhm and my connection is like really really tight and so I'm like for some reason reason they always take like 30 minutes to get the gate checked back when I have a tight connection when I don't have a tight connection it's like right there it's right there yeah and so I'm like do I risk it and then be stressed or do I check it and be annoyed that I now have to wait for my bag yep I have not checked a bag in years I have had to check a bag when I'm traveling somewhere that requires a lot of layers like Toronto or Chicago Toronto or Chicago Vegas is going to be kind of chilly but we're going to be inside most of the time so I'm less concerned so I'm debating right now though I have short connections there and back and so I'm like I did I I actually upgraded my connection to Atlanta because if I can get the first row first seat yeah that I'm first off in Atlanta and get to the next flight so I I paid for um like 50 bucks for first class um not I never really a first class person but it was strategically because then I could just get to my next connection really fast well but see that's if I have to wait for my bag it doesn't matter what seat I'm in yeah you have a concern now yeah you know and so this this is probably bad but do you ever fly American or do you just fly Delta I think i' yeah I've flown American okay so I all my status is with American and I know a lot of people don't like American I actually don't have any issues with americane because I have status but when you're I get upgraded to First a lot which I love but what they do is that they have to gate check your bag they give you a yellow tag because those are supposed to be the first out of gate check so that because it's another benefit of being in first I collect them like I keep them put them back on and so if I and I only do it if I have a tight connection and didn't get upgraded because if I have like a 30 minute connection and in Charlotte it's there's no plane trains or shuttles it's all walking running you know Y and so I don't do it often but I have a stash of the yellow tags that's hilarious or my short Connection airport hacks from Allison yeah but either way it's that's my current conundrum so well unfortunately we get to dress casually get to dress casually and and we need to plan out when we're going to record because I need to get you before you start drinking when do you get in Saturday Saturday I get in at 10:00 okay so I'm thinking I'll have just enough time to get there check in like take a breath and then the session start yeah they start at 1 yeah right yeah so we could always do it then or we just do it after I mean on Saturday yeah okay yeah I think after is ABS and drinks I guess we could do it there and like find a corner yeah it made me think of parks and wreck did you ever watch parks and rck like I think I started it yeah so if you can power through the first season the rest gets really good but aiz on sarry I think is how you say his name his character is hysterical but he likes to Short things and so he calls it apps and zerts so like appetizers and desserts desserts so all I can think about was apps and Zer this is ABS and drinks not zerts it's NOS I know there's lots of celebrating being planned in Vegas so me and Aaron haven't gotten officially to celebrate together so we're going to celebrate those my happy you get to walk with me in the morning so I don't get murdered oh my God I haven't told you what happened I'll probably still walk with you but Sunday I woke up I could not put any weight on my left foot at all really it was bad it was like a on a scale 1 to 10 it was a 10 in pain and I'm like what did I do I have not been exercising like I should be I think we talked about that I have not been doing anything we've backed off the Halo walks because of issues with her health so I'm like all I've done is not do anything and now I can barely walk on my left foot so I made sure Sunday I didn't have any alcohol I I drink lots of fluids and I'm trying to rule out something called gout which I've I've heard of but I've never experienced it's the only thing that really fits my symptoms of just waking up all of a sudden with pain and now I'm on so I did good on Monday got better two Tuesday yesterday I was like hey I think I'm great to walk around and probably go for a run again but still didn't go for a run this morning I get up and I'm back at like a five or a six in pain I'm like what in the world is going on you should go to urgent care today I'll probably go when I get back if it's still hurting because I don't know what's going on I had to buy so I used to play soccer and I was okay it was pretty decent I had some scholarship offers but I had like I was fortunate enough to never have like a major injury other than like once but never to my knees but for some reason like my left knee I had to buy one of those straps you know that like support your knee and I hadn't had to use one in a really long time and last week I was like what is happening so I had to order one and get it delivered from Walmart so now I'm back to F you're back to where I went yeah oh I'm so old but as you get back into shape that's the thing is I'm like I'm telling I'm trying to use this as motivation I'm like yeah you got into this situation Justin because you haven't been working out like you should if you've been working out like you should you wouldn't be in any pain and everything be fine that's not true because I I need to tell myself that so old soccer ailments you got to flip it around as motivation Alison yeah hey I got up this morning and froze my butt off in the garage with my tiny little so David's office is an like external garage like a single car garage and because I prefer to work out in the morning to get it done with cuz otherwise during the day I'm like I don't want to do this I talk myself out of it if I do it first thing I'm good so I I bought a like Bluetooth space heater so that I could schedule it to kick on it like full so by the time I got to the garage it would be somewhat warm well David stole it for his office because it's so cold and so I still have a space heater but you can't schedule it I can't even put it on a smart plug cuz you physically have to like hit the button to turn should which you should but I told him I was like I'm going to need a new SP so cold how cold was it this morning for you guys we got to compare outside it was 20 I don't know what it was in my garage but it was not warm yeah I got up and looked at the thermometer it was 7 I was just like yeah not running today yeah now I did my bar class and then I did some treadmill I'm watching selling the OC is a real estate show yeah I just love it cuz of the houses we've talked about that before but like I just love looking at the houses I don't want one cuz that's too much maintenance you want to take care of one yeah you got people where you are now remember the cleaning ladies I know they're great and they come every two weeks I see the one that we we don't have them but I see the ones come to the airbnbs across the street so we used to not have anyone come but it became you know they don't charge a ton and they do the stuff that I just like they do our baseboards and we have plantation shutters and like they dust all of that and I just I hate dusting and especially the plantation shutters yeah they're pain the shutters or blinds are just a pain in the ass yeah and so it it's worth the money to me for them to come every two weeks and you know I would do it but the other half thinks that the they are part-time um robbers that are scoping everybody's house and that that they're just trying to get a lay of the land to see what's valuable so they can come by and Rob you so that's we don't use them I feel like if I didn't work from home I wouldn't use cleaners because I would probably feel like they know how to get into my house but I'm always here and they've never like come into my house without me or David or his mother here so I'm less worried about robbers but if they're part of some cartel that you don't know about and like on you know February 1st of 2024 they're going to go rob all the houses and Aken maybe oh man I I I actually enjoy housew word too because that's time for me to listen to my podcast so that's fair not this podcast although I do listen to it but yeah I have a like I need to take PTO so I can just like sit and reorganize my closet cuz like on the weekends I'm just like I need to do it but I need to like decompress so I just need to like take a day of PTO to I need to go donate a bunch of stuff like my our closet is my side David is a minimalist he can deal with that he can deal with your messy side next to his clean side cuz my partner would be cleaning both in the closet he's fine because most of his clothes are in the dresser and so he really doesn't go in the closet that much unless we're like going on a date and he's going to get like his jeans and like a nice shirt or a different pair of shoes otherwise then you get then you get a mouthful I'm sure well then I get a are we going to do something about the closet and it's always we and I'm like we will when we have time so that's better than like look at this closet you lazy slum Lord like what do you clean up after yourself I would love for him to say that to me but no he it's it's one of those it's just when you're working and then you I'm on like meeting burnout this week I think I was telling you earlier that just yeah and here I book you back to back in meetings like all week it's been back to back to back to back to back to back to back I'm sorry I'm sorry to add to the pain this is fine cuz I don't have to be on I'm never on for these I hope you don't want me to be this is what you get everybody you thought you were getting a good podcast but you're getting Allison at 35% and that's all you're going to get but that's 100% for today I read something one time that was like if all you have is 35% and you're giving 35% you're actually giving 100% I was like you know what call this lazy episode I know I did this weekend though let's see what all did I do I reorganized part of our kitchen M I have somehow hit the time in my life where I hate things on the countertops that aren't used daily like I don't want a toaster on the counter the coffee maker can stay cuz I use it every day but if it's not used every day like I don't want it on there and so I did like a big Purge of stuff that was like also David's weird and doesn't want bread in the dark like in the pantry because it'll mold faster so it's like then it's going in the fridge I don't care it's just not going to sit on the counter does he know the fridge light turns off when you close the door don't bring it up because I I won the battle because it was like I just need this crap off counter and so I went through and like took everything off the counters and redid it all and so I did that this weekend but my closet I just it's going to be a lot it won't be done this weekend it will not be it will not be so oh by the way are you do you know did you get your room reservations are you uh staying across the street or on our side of the street I don't even know what that means so leadership is staying at a different that's for sko if you look they're staying at our hotel until service Nows oh okay cuz I did the same thing when I looked at I was like that's yeah I was say same thing I was like really oh no I did the same thing I was like did they forget to remove this from the thing they shared with everybody oh yeah I did the same thing yeah okay she sounds mean hey people can walk on the street we're not the only people that live here people talking stop Riley's like I live here come look at me this F to you by the way I have gotten lots of compliments on my pillow really good the best one I got was like huh did you have that custom made I was like why he goes those are two interesting things to put together like yep it is interesting that that's why was like I got to find something wine and honorous well good that means I actually didn't do as bad of a job as I felt like I did so I still need you to try your hot sauces yo I was thinking about that last night because um or no it was actually at lunch today because I had a tomato B tomato bisque soup and it was kind of sweet and so uh my partner's like we should put some hot sauce and I'm like Habanero hot sauce from Allison maybe I should have done that it was too late i' already ate it but so it's St my mind I'm trying to figure out what to put it in without like should bring a small thing to sko and just like slip it in people's start betting people yeah yeah I am bringing so there is um this game that we play with some friends of ours called Left Right Center the dice game have you played it so it's a lot of fun because it's easy and every everyone has like $3 like $3 bills and there's three dice that say either l r c or there's a DOT and you roll them and if it says left you pass a dollar to the person to your left if it says R you pass a dollar to the person on your right and if it's Center you put it in the center pot and if it's a DOT you get to keep it so there's three dice so you could lose up to all three doll or not and then whoever gets all the dollars wins so it's just fun and easy and it's just you roll some ni someone gets some money that's my kind of gambling I don't want to play black jack yeah I'm not a gambler either yeah did you ever see Vegas vacation doesn't sound familiar now what like what Chevy Chase like yeah I'm not into those old movies like anything that happened while I was a child other than ET I don't really okay well there's a scene in Vegas vacation where they've lost all their money and he's trying to win it back and so he go goes to like this dingy casino and it's like rock paper scissor or guess what number I'm thinking of I'm like those are the games I want those are um what do they call that when um carnival games yeah yes like for your school carnival yeah yeah I used to always trick people with how old I was cuz you looked younger or older I looked older when I was younger not like a lot older but I looked older when I was younger and then when I got in my late 20s people thought I was younger and then now I feel like I just look my age so I thought I looked older and then I actually was doing some cleaning and I stumbled across something when I was 16 years old and I was like oh my God I was such a baby I will need to see a photo of that I was super super young it this A modeling picture so I was trying to be a model
