A day to rest

I spent some time yesterday figuring out why something was not working. I had turned it in a couple times, but each time it was sent back to me with additional questions. It was a simple “Investigation” issue. I finally was able to get on the Test DB. On that DB I was able to see what was happening. That is what allowed me to finally get a reasonable answer to why things were not working right. I sent it over to Miki once and for all, I hope.

Today I got a whole bunch of new bugs assigned to me. I also have some DU bugs that I am not able to do here in Pullman because I need to do some debugging I can only do on my local box, and I cannot for some reason do while I am using a TS session.

So for the next couple days I will try to knock out one or two of the bugs that I can do from here. But they all seem to be involved bugs. I don’t know if I will get any of them figured out.

I went to station one and tried to pick up the WSU map tests. While talking to George about them I helped him write the way the test is being done to group building by type of use, whether it is academic, admin services, etc. I think it is a better way than the old way which was to have them randomly put on to study sheets.

On call at the fire department I went to the station and helped with Rig Checks. I also got some notes written for the meeting I am going to have with everyone on Thursday. I spoke with Ben about some of the changes that are going to happen with the responses of the different rigs and calls. We are no longer going to do EMS Alpha calls. We are also having some fire call changes. Overall I think we are going to be used more heavily as a back-up unit. They are going to rely on us to get to the scene and help out rather than being the third unit on scene, we will now be the second unit.
