Many states have a drop like they do in Times Square in New York. Like the peach in Georgia. Here in Idaho we have "GlowTato" that is dropped at the state capitol on New Year's Eve here in Boise. So what drops in your state?

Yuki Some of the drops here include a boot, a pinecone, and a taco. Apparently the pinecone drop made USA Today's list of top 10 drops in the country along with GlowTato this year!

Yuki @kareng ...wow, that's spectacularly bad. I wonder if it's FedEx themselves or if there's a third-party contractor covering that area. Sounds like everyone there has a lot of justified complaints about the service they're providing.

Yuki Have you heard of FedEx Delivery Manager? It will notify you when there's a package in transit to your address and give you access to the tracking information so you can see exactly where the package is, even if the shipper doesn't provide that information to...

Yuki I usually don't have many complaints about FedEx here, but the quality of service has taken a distinct nosedive since the holiday shipping season started. I usually don't have to worry about things arriving late, but I had to have an order of frozen rats...

Yuki @Ghostlady 1920 x 1080 is the monitor resolution. It's measured in pixels, so you have 1920 pixels across the screen horizontally and 1080 pixels vertically. 60Hz is the refresh rate of the image on the monitor. That's how many times per second the image on...

Yuki Silly question: have you checked to see what input your monitor is on? Most of them have an input associated with each port/display cable connector in the back. If you plugged it into a different port, you might have to change the setting on the monitor so...

Yuki I'm sorry. It seems entirely too many administrators simply don't carrot all unless things directly affect them. You just know that they would have already put an end to it if they'd been the one(s) pelted with carrots, not the custodian.

Yuki A lot of companies hire helpdesk technicians to work remotely from home. Having the CompTIA A+ certification is a good way to get your foot in the door for that. It covers things like computer hardware, software, and troubleshooting procedures.
