I had a PC job come up and I drove just shy of an hour out to my client's office. He redesigned his office and needed all of his printers reconfigured and connected - six printers in all! With two laptops, that was 12 items of business, attempted to be completed in just an hour or so.
But nothing goes as planned. I got there considerably later than expected and the work went considerably later than expected. But the client was pleased and I did get everything functional.
But the biggest surprise is when his wife handed me a heavy bag of (premium) candy. My client purchased this in October for children knocking on his door, but he was out of town and hardly anyone showed up at the door. Rather than hold on to all the candy, they asked if my children would enjoy them.
Yes, they would enjoy them! Thankfully, the candy isn't my service payment (I like candy, but it doesn't pay the bills), but it was a delight to come home with this giant treasure trove of candy!
It's going to take months and months to go through all of this. We're thinking of using these as prize incentives for school-work.
What an unexpected surprise!
Bless the Most High!
Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin
We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

They don't know about the stash.... it will be revealed in good time. !BBH
Snickers, these cost some money. What a kind and thoughtful gesture from your client's wife.
Yes, snickers are not inexpensive. I can't imagine any scenario where I purchased this much premium candy. !BBH
Happy candy party
I love to eat one or two after a long time being away from sugar
Have a nice weekend
Peace
We have to be careful about the sugar too, this will take a long time to consume. !BBH

That’s a very good plan to use this as incentives!👍😊
Sounds like you had a lot to configure today glad it went well !😊
I'm glad it went well, this will help my family financially while waiting for the License and new position. !BBH
It’s good that you are skilled computer technology!😊
So many neighbors I know have no clue!🙄
Those are some nice treats, a lot too, should last for a while :)
!BBH
They should anyway, lol! !BBH
On what operating system were you setting up the printers? Given some of the challenges configuring printers on various computers and OSes, I give you props for doing it 12 times in such a short time. Hehehe...I haven't had candy like that in ages, but I did used to love it when I was a kid. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

The challenge was that the printers are old, from the early 2010's. They were/are expensive and the client (understandably) does not want to replace them. Trying to get them to function with windows 11 isn't optimal. The client expected me to finish in an hour, but it took over three hours! Not because I was slacking, it was a big task.
The candy was a nice treat! have to be careful not to eat to much too quickly! I'm keeping it hidden away for special occasions.
!BBH
Oh, OK. Yeah, older printers like that and Windows 11 doesn't sound like much fun. I gave up on Windows years ago, and I don't think that I've even used Windows 11. Your experience with the printers reminds me about how often I offer to help someone do something technical, which should be easy, but ends up taking far longer, and with more effort, than expected.
I like that way of doing it, saving it for special occasions. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Good plan. Not a fan of Windows 11. I am very suspicious of the integrated "Copilot Vision" AI service, whose stated feature is "seeing what you see." The claim is that no human will have direct access, but still. "It's like screen sharing with a friend". A friend huh. What happens when your "friend" sees something it doesn't agree with?
Exactly, I heard about that AI, and what it does on people's computers, and I wouldn't trust it at all. I watched the video. Aside from being very creepy, the constant questions that it asks would drive me crazy! Linux and BSDs all the way! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Nice bag of candy bro, the kids will enjoy that nice little perk from dad's work
@gratefuleveryday have a wonderful weekend 😎

You're right, they DON'T pay the bills, but you'll put them to good use by encouraging your children to do their homework, by the way, as you say, are from excellent brands.
I was shocked seeing all the premium (and large) candy bars. It would be expensive buying all these from a store. !BBH
Wow, nice 👍
Yummy! !BBH
That was a nice bonus for the job running later than expected. Computer jobs never go as they're supposed to me in experience! I hope they enjoyed the candy!
I'm glad this job went mostly smoothly, even if it took longer than expected. My client doesn't give a clear picture of what challenge I will have, until I'm there staring at it. !BBH

First thought it was some serdish candy, but saw wrong. If you ever get the chance you should really try Marabou. Swedish candy brand that makes delicoius chocolate bars :)
