Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. Summer stretches on here and I've got a weekend full of outdoor activities, many of them requiring outfits. I'm spending this afternoon in a frenzy of visible mending and I'd love to not also feel compelled to reply to your last-minute email. We'll all sweatily muddle forward.

I was already having a bit of a day (mice chewed some wires in my truck which may be why the ABS light was coming on) and that last call is to my mechanic (Chip died, the new guy is great but he's not Chip) asking if my car was going to be ready today only to be told it will be ready tomorrow. This is fine, it's just a car, but I was really holding out for one thing to be totally fixed today and this was not the day for it. Home with a seltzer and a porch. Will try again tomorrow. EOM.

2. Terry is an older man who had a stroke and has the use of one of his hands. He wears hearing aids. He is one of the kindest people I've seen at Drop-In which is good because his voicemail is fucked and I don't know why. This is not the call record of a problem that was easy to solve. Ultimately, even with talking to his cell provider, we could not fix it. Best guess: the app is old/outdated and his phone can't d/l a new one. It's not a great answer. Clicking didn't fix it.

Drop-In Time report is a short one.

1. Bunny is a working artist in her 80s. She needed help with some kind of art database product she buys (and pays a lot for, built on Filemaker) which somehow exported a list of her contacts but won't show her a list of contacts inside the app. We kind of fix it, it's just clicking. I tell her for what she is paying for this software, she should get them to support their product. Definitely get a "but the light is better over here!" response. 😑

@nprofile1q... I'm the digital comms manager for the Vermont Library Association, a position I've had for nearly two decades. We have membership software, shared accounts, a lot of social media accounts and the like. There is so much of that "Hey Greta I know you haven't been on the board for six years but do you have a second to get a 2FA text so we can update a thing?" action, I feel ya.
