Opted to bike in today. I think this is my first Tuesday ride of the year.
Also, had an unusual occurrence at jam on Monday. Previously we've had zero carbon fiber instruments present, but a traveling friend of an irregular participant was there with a carbon fiber acoustic guitar, and a newer jammer was there with a carbon fiber violin they were borrowing from a friend to test out. My first time encountering the latter. So just an interesting coincidence to go from zero to two in one day.

VF worked an extra hour last night, saved all his work, left screens open to continue this morning. Bright and early, went to laptop/keyboard/screen:
a) IT downloaded an update overnight, logged me out.
b) logging back in started up the Windows Antimalware Client and OMA-DM Client issues again. They fire these up upon user login.
c) Wasted thirty minutes with Help Desk attempting to create a case.
d) Upon re-opening screens from the night before, encountered stupid configuration problems where there were none before.
Was today Monday again? Did nobody think to warn me?
In short, major f-up late yesterday, pretty much caught up this morning, should be good later this afternoon.
Monday2 - The Reckoning
Yup, down to the last 15% of the worst effort, and a lot of that will be unit-testing and validation beyond what's already been done.

Glad you got the slog mostly knocked out.

Oh yeah. Thank you, Miz Frogge!!
Found out the hard way (stupid item #2) that Power BI doesn't respect the "Sort by Another Column" button on the GUI design page. But if you go into "Table view", and do the same thing, it actually applies it properly. Seems like someone forgot to update all the code, some where.
Saturday morning: Got the Keyless Entry circuit board out of its plastic shell hidden behind the rear seat air conditioning vent. What demon from Hell designed that installation sequence needs to be summarily dispatched back to the recesses of the hottest regions. Also found out, the antenna and circuit board are a single piece. There is no external antenna, like earlier years. Since it could not be a heat-related connection issue with the antenna, it must have been a heat-related connection issue with the multi-wire connector connecting the circuit board. I relocated the balky board into the occupant-accessible area (VF doesn't keep much in the console, just one power cord, a mini-MagLite flashlight, and a couple of ball-point pens.) If it's gonna be problem again in the near future, I'll have to get a new board and have someone with the equipment pair it to the car's ECM. (Shout-out to @DC)
Took the car out this afternoon to the big orange box store for HVAC air filters and wasp/hornet spray, then to the grocery. Seems it's still an issue, the car doesn't think the fob is present, unless and until I place it over the RFID antenna on the circuit board in the console. It seems the other half of this RKE system is situated behind the drivers-side rear seat. That will be coming out tomorrow morning, to find whatever may be the issue there.
Sunday morning: Bottom rear seat, no problem. Four bolts at bottom of rear seat back, no problem. Six bolts at top of seat, across the top, from within the trunk?

Literally step 1, any ServiceNow admin on the planet should be update a user's password without any muss and fuss
But on the bright side, management on their side took notice and said "so... this seems pretty straight-forward, we'll see if we can get permissions to do it ourselves and maybe we don't even need a call for this"
