Why are you excited? Because it's July 2, and you know what that means? - That it's almost July 3. - Yeah, it really means absolutely nothing to you and I. Means that today's tech... or tomorrow is technically a vacation, so we're recording on Thursday instead of Friday because someone wants to sleep in here. - Who? Your wife- - Someone not being me. - Your wife and my wife? - No, are you kidding me? My kids get us up way too early. I haven't slept-in in a long time, and my youngest has figured out how to climb out of his crib, so he just comes wandering into our bedroom at random times during the morning now. - Ah huh, that's always fun. - Yes, he is not saying anything or nor can understand that he has to stay in his bedroom until a certain time so he just climbs out and wanders around the house till he finds somebody. - Well, I just hope he finds you before he finds the mess in the kitchen or whatever else... - Yeah, well so we had- - Parent's mind. - We have a two story house so we have gates upstairs, so as long as we remember to shut the gates he can't get downstairs, he'll just stand at the top and grab it and rattle it, if he can't find us upstairs. Usually we're still upstairs and he finds us in bed. I think this morning he walked over to his brother's bed and was like ah trying to wake him up to get someone to play with him or something. - Perfect. - Yes, fun times. - Always fun. - That's all you got. - That's all you got? - Do you feel overwhelmed by trying to manage your office 365 environment?
