I was assigned to a job, and these buyers harassed me with calls and emails daily.

They called before the scheduled time to remind me about the job tomorrow. I thought I dropped the ball regarding the day and time. I told the caller not to worry that I will be there on time.

About 20 minutes later, I got another call from the PM, reminding me about the job for the next day. I asked him why they keep calling and emailing me every day about the schedule. He apologized for the constant calls and emails.

I completed the job the next day and received a good review from the client. Now they refused to approve payment for a job that was closed out on the 5th, and their estimated approval period is 5 days. I called FN about the status, and I was told the job will automatically approve itself on the 20th.

Has anybody experienced this, or am I just paranoid about the buyer? This is my first time working with them. Why the constant calls and demands to respond to emails?

Recently, I was dispatched to a data center for a system board and CPU replacement. Upon arrival, I found that the server would not turn on. After unracking the server, I inspected the CPU pins and noticed that the socket pins were bent, with traces of thermal grease present on both CPU slots.

I promptly informed the end client about my findings and documented the situation. I was instructed to proceed with replacing the motherboard due to the damage to both CPU sockets.

Memory diagnostics show the following results.

* All DIMMs associated with CPU0 were detected successfully.
* On CPU1 only four out of eight dims were detected.
* All DIMMs associated with CPU1 consistently failed validation.

Further troubleshooting was performed by swapping known-good DIMMs from CPU0 with the non-detected DIMMs on CPU1. Results were consistent across multiple tests.

* DIMMs previously reported as failed on CPU one functioned normally when install installed on CPU0.
* Known-good DIMMs from CPU0 reported as failed when installed in the affected CPU1 DIMMs slots.

This behavior confirm that the DIMMs themselves are functional and the system is isolated to the CPU1 memory channel or associated DIMM slots on the SYSTEM board.

When is this going to stop? Pizza Pete? Don’t take the jobs you are not qualified for.
