Speedbumps on the recovery road

 Well, there was scheduled maintenance this morning to be done by the vendor for POLARIS remotely since our ILS is now on their remote cloud.  But the work is taking longer than projected and has temporarily disabled our LEAP access to Polaris.  Can still technically login to the Polaris client for a remote session but for now Polaris is not communicating with ShareIt (as one would expect) so I can't receive the dummy request I got from the courier today to conduct additional testing on the receive functionality before full fledged borrowing resumes.

So....just kinda twiddling my thumbs again on a casual Friday.  It's College Colors day so I'm wearing a maroon TAMU tee shirt to work today.  Gig 'em, Aggies.  Y'know for as much as I love baseball jerseys as outerwear, it's kinda remarkable I don't own a TAMU Baseball Jersey, considering how much I loved Aggie Baseball when I was a student there.  I should probably get one.  I don't like that you can't personalize one, though.  You can only pick existing players & numbers, you can't supply like your own last name & class year, which is what I want.

Long holiday weekend, hoping the shit is all ready for next Tuesday but guessing it probably won't be.

I can't do patron validation either if Polaris & ShareIt are still unable to communicate with each other.

Luckily I told my over-eager patrons who asked that ILL might not return exactly on 2 Sept 2025, only that it will be "some time after that".
