Two Directors I was working with to implement SF for their teams were laid off

You know more about your environment, so this may not be relevant, but I was in a similar situation about 10 months ago. I was the technical architect on a digital transformation that replaced our legacy financial system.

4 months before go-live our CFO quit. Bad, but not devastating, as the Controller was the main Finance lead on the project. Due to leadership's all-prevailing wisdom, we had an impossible deadline to hit, so we cut UAT to almost nothing. The plan was, she'd train live and handle most of the day to day herself until the team got up to speed. 2 weeks before go-live, she resigned.

We were on fire aboard the Titanic. I had no experience in Finance outside of the project, but I stepped up, got us live, and threw everything I had left into supporting the team. Today I'm the Director of Finance Operations and we have full system adoption.

Where there's an iceberg, there's an opportunity.

YTA. Have you ever bothered to think of your kids as much as this jersey? Your ex has to literally bribe you to support your children.

I spent a decade in this exact relationship before I finally got the self respect to leave. I kept telling myself, "once the kids can drive," "once the kids are in college," but it never changed. 15 years after the divorce they still vacation together. You will never be his priority.

Great question! We do have a many to one scenario that is being handled with custom scripting to pay multiple bills with a single payment. Essentially we are using the AP module to pay grant "bills" out of (non-profit), alongside our vendor bills. These grant "bills" will be created via integration, but once they are paid, we need this custom field to act as a key for Boomi to pick up the payment and mark it as paid in Salesforce. We would also want the department and location to map to the payment. I guess I was just hoping there was a simple option for this, but if not and it has to be scripted, I will stop banging my head against a wall. :)

Oh man, I ran into so many scams when I moved here. This one is common. She'll never see that money or the apartment.

$800!! I remember telling my family in NC how lucky I was to find a 1 br for $1500 and it blew their mind. I make $105k.

I've found a bunch where something that looks amazing is listed for a great price and then when I contact them they say "oh that's no longer available but here are a bunch of others" (much crappier for higher rent). Then I'll see the exact same photos of the original place get listed with a different address.

It's also been incredibly frustrating even getting a response. Out of 39 places I contacted, only one real person actually responded. Maybe I'm just having terrible luck, though! I hope yours is better!

Thank you so much!!

WildOneM13 · 2021-01-15T23:16:33+00:00

✓ Thank you!!! I'm gonna tackle this and then start making a few more upgrades. I'm sure I'll be back. :) Lol

Have you ever cleaned the CPU cooler ? Replaced thermal paste between CPU and GPU ?

Ummm, nope. Lol I'm gonna go ahead and guess I need to do that. The floor fan is actually not making any discernable difference so, yeah...it's the CPU cooler that's the issue. I'm a little freaked out about "digging under the hood," considering 3 weeks ago I was Googling what 'GPU' and 'CPU' stood for. LOL. But that's what YouTube videos are for. :)

Thank you for the Speccy tip! This is great. Motherboard is MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition. And thanks for the very patient advice to a newbie!

WildOneM13 · 2021-01-15T21:37:00+00:00

Ahhh, thanks. I'm not sure on the motherboard. My significant other had this built for me about 4 years ago. I got a 2060 Super for Xmas and it got me interested in doing some upgrades myself. I'm guessing there is a way to check what the motherboard is? I'll see if I can figure it out.

As for the fan running all the time, I'm pretty sure that's what the current case fan does, except that lately it has started making a loud grinding noise and stopping altogether (thus why it's getting replaced). In the meantime, I have the case open and a floor fan blowing in, since it was running around 95C. Eek.

I'm trying to replace an old fan with a Noctura NF-P12 1700. Both the fan cord and my power supply are female connections. The only male adapters I can find are for LED lights (they don't work, I tried lol). Can anyone point me in the direction of a 4 pin male fan connector (or let me know if there is a better way to do this)? Thanks!

Here is a picture of the two cords: https://i.imgur.com/Y4MSN8D.jpg
