Congratulations on the 100th Thread and I hope that you're feeling better Michelle.

Well I decided on a computer and this is what I’m getting:
OptiPlex 7050 Tower
Intel® Core™ i7-7700 (7th Generation) Processor
16GB (2x8GB) 2400MHz DDR4 Memory
Windows 10 Pro 64bit Operating System
M.2 512GB PCIe Class 40 Solid State Drive
AMD Radeon™ R7 450, 4GB, (DP/DP/SL-DVI-I) Video Card
8x DVD+/-RW 9.5mm Optical Disk Drive
Intel® Dual Band Wireless AC 8265 (802.11ac) 2x2 + Bluetooth
OptiPlex 7050 Tower with 240W up to 92% efficient Power Supply

I’m custom ordering it from Dell, and I took a lot of your advice into what I specified Koni. Does this look like a good configuration to you?

secretk

Thanks Betty! You too! My best friend actually has a name of a tree so he has a name appreciation holiday today.

Pff. I just mentioned the flu, you came up with a great title! Are you a little bit better today? Did you manage to sleep a bit more?

You too!

secretk

It looks an awesome configuration Jerry! I hope that it's not too expensive for you. Trust me you ordered really good machine. Great CPU and SSD, great RAM memory as well as video card. Really awesome deal. Seriously. With this you are definitely covered for a long time.

Congrats! When it's supposed to arrive?

Jerry D

Thanks!

It ships in 3 to 5 Business Days, so I should get it the week of April 16th.

jediwands

Thanks, guys.

Jerry, your computer sounds great! Of course, all of that techy stuff cruises right over my head, lol. Koni knows her stuff.

I literally fell asleep the second my head hit the pillow last night until I fed Buddy. The second I fed him, I was out again for a couple more hours. I woke up with my t-shirt a bit sweaty. I think that indicates even the tiny elevated temp worked its way out.

Still have muffled ears, congested some but getting better.

How was your work thing this weekend and are you officially on vacation now?

secretk

.

Jerry cool that you won't wait long! Tell me once you have it if you like it and how do you feel about it.

That's good!
Glad to read this. Would you work next week from home as well?

It was good. We went to a nearby castle, then we went to a place for lunch and then we want for a walk to a nearby park. After that we dropped him off at the hotel so that he could take his luggage and go to the airport.

I had this colored card and I thought that it would be nice to give it to him so that he could have some memory, but then I kind of felt nervous the whole day. Like I felt weird giving it to him in front of the others. I know I am weird . Anyway in the end it was just the two of us so that's when I gave it to him and he told me that he likes it. I hope that he really does. If not well there is nothing I can do about it .

Otherwise I had spent my time mostly with him because the other co-worker had the idea of this but she was with her boyfriend and during walks they were together. And then there was another family that are close to her so they were together as well. And that basically left me with the guy. She even thanked me that I agreed to go with them because otherwise she would have been more uncomfortable.

So I would say it went good.

Yes, I am officially in vacation and I plan to go home tomorrow. I did not have time working on the evals though so I will have to do it either tomorrow or Tuesday. We will see.

jediwands

I'm going to go in Wednesday. Honestly, I rather not infect people so the longer I stay away, the better. Plus, my boss made me promise I wouldn't see her until mid-week.

So yes, I'm working from home Monday, Tuesday for sure.

Castle, wow! So cool! Do you have a picture?

LOL That's really nice of you giving that to him. I would have worried in the same way as you did. Extremely thoughtful of you. The second I read you wondering if he liked/appreciated it I got a warm feeling so trust me, I know he did. It made him very happy.

Great that you're going home tomorrow! Does your mom make your meals too or how does that work for meals?

How long will the evals take you?

When do you go back to work?

secretk

Sounds good idea and she is on board with it anyway!

So awesome. I was discussing this with Russian. They are allowed to work on day from home each week. I so hope that soon this would be valid for us as well. I really do hope.



It's an old castle where our last monarch lived.

I hope so. It's not something expensive obviously, but it's hand made. I told him that it's hand made so yeah I hope that he will appreciate it.

I tell her what to buy me and then sometimes she makes them, sometimes I do them so it depends on whether its lunch or dinner and whether she has the time or not.

I have to them by the 13rd so I hope that I will manage to do so.

I go back to work on 18th.

jediwands

Exactly.

Plus, I don't take advantage and she knows it. I've been doing work all week long and this weekend. She knows I get a ton of work done at home.

Wow, really? That is really great. I hope that you get that as well.

USA has some great places but castles/last monarch, stuff like this you get in Europe. Nope.

That's so awesome! It's beautiful! That's called history at its finest, wow!

Exactly. It was even more thoughtful because it was hand made and he knows it.

Got it. I would imagine you'd share some food like meats and seafood?

Got it. Sucks you need to focus on the evals but the good news is you can relax for several days after that. When will you leave your parents? Fingers crossed you don't bump into that horrible family member.

secretk

You sure do even though you are sick now.
We will see, but hey for now I could hope .

Different history and background .

It was cool. It's in the city but it's really isolated so you don't feel like being in the city.
Yeah that's the thing I go for. I have some more cards to color and I hope to be able to do it this week. I want to send some cards to the other co-workers from France through the one that I will have presentation with next month.

Yeah and salads and fruits so stuff like that .

I usually avoid her . I would leave on Monday 17th. So I will be staying there for almost a week .

jediwands

How long has that castle been in existence? So cool.

That's great. It's a nice, relaxing activity for you too.

Right!

Nice visit!

Do you think you'll bump into her no matter what?
