I tell ya, the #adenoidectomy can't come soon enough. I spend most of the week on the verge of exhaustion due to the #sleepapnea, and it seems to be interfering with work now.

Earlier in the day, I had a call with a colleague and wanted to share my screen. I couldn't find the button. After said colleague shared theirs instead to get to the page I was talking about, I found it. At the bottom of the GUI...with a big button that said "SHARE SCREEN". :welp:

Later, I received an e-mail asking to see if someone on my team could troubleshoot a potential issue of a closed port blocking needed traffic from one server to the other. I read it as "Server A" to "Sever B" even though it was actually "Server A" to "Server C."

So incorrectly, assuming A to B, I saw the required ingress port was closed for Server B and opened it up. I replied to the email and said it was all set. I then get a response with: "Thanks, but it was actually A to C."

So I walked back the port I opened in error and tried opening ingress on A even though it's A to C, since a colleague mentioned they had to do that once to solve a similar issue. No go, but it's EOD for me, so I'll have to check again tomorrow.
