So for hopefully obvious reasons, I can't give too much specifics here.
I'm on the job site. IT contractor. Got a kiosk in a department store that needs a migration. New SIM card for the router and new hardware on the back end. I show up with my usual computer repair toolbox.
This thing is sitting half disassembled, stupidly precarious, nearly fall off the step stool every time I reach over because it's almost like this thing was set up in a location in a display stand, in such a way that it cannot be accessed
Time to replace PC. Get told by senior tech over call that you've just got to get a flathead and a hammer in there and literally chisel it loose. Uh... I don't carry those tools. Nowhere in a "kiosk replace media player PC" job do I expect to bring my crowbar, hammer, and paint can opener flathead.
I know this isn't the first one of these you've done. Next time, put that in the work order?
I literally have to use the entire extent of my arm, to reach it. The device is too close to the edge to get something in straight. And theomebt my full strength isn't pushing my prying implement in, it's forced back out.
Y'all could've told me??
On the plus side they're running stock Ubuntu Desktop on these things. Neat.
I work nights. I'm usually in bed by 10 or 11. It's currently 1:00 p.m. I'm being sent off-site to go grab the correct tools and come back, which is going to be an hour of commute. Plus disassembling everything that I put back together to get back to it. Because fuck my sleep schedule. At least I'm paid by the hour
