While sitting there I had to ask myself.
"Did I just get hit on? Or picked up? It has been a while since a girl has talked to me like that. Plus I am usually pretty clueless in this type of scenario. But that was clearly flirting, right? Well I'll have to see what happens and rush to make a judgment. She could be just being nice to me."
I gave myself a bit of time to think before starting the car and driving away.
…
A 30 minute drive later I was back at home, I was a little slower because my mind kept drifting back to that interaction.
But now that I'm back home it is time to get back to work.
I start by bringing in all of the things that I had bought in through the downstairs door, leaving my mom completely unaware.
She almost never comes down here or looks at the Ding doorbell cameras.
I decided that it would be better to leave her in the dark about this for a while longer, but I am not going to actively hide it either.
If she finds out then she finds out, but I'm not going to go out of my way to explain it either. Not until I have enough to get my own place and she can retire. Which will require a few million dollars.
Both to put into a private account and to still have my business. I don't want to start over from scratch again.
With that I finished bringing everything in and started to put it together.
I put the computers against the wall on the inside of the desk away from the door. I mounted the monitors onto the arms and attached them to the desk. I put the monitors in 2 layers, 3 side by side on the bottom and 3 more above them. I had all of the new monitors on the left side of my desk near the wall.
I left my old monitor and computer on the right side of my desk.
Next I connected the ethernet cables to the 6 new computers and plugged them all into the ethernet splitter. Now the main reason I bought this computer over a more pricy one is because out of all of the computers that they sold only this one came with 2 ethernet ports.
So I plugged in the ethernet cable that came with the satellite and ran it outside to where I would set up the other satellites.
The grass is getting kind of long, but it has definitely slowed down and is going dormant for the season.
I should probably mow the grass once more soon.
Next I fully installed the satellites and the computers, the only thing left is the solar panels.
The solar panels won't be able to power all of this but after a few upgrades it will be able to curb most of the power usage.
For the 34 storage drives each computer has 8 usb ports, 4 on the front and 4 on the back. I need to leave 2 for the keyboard and mouse. So I have 6 ports for each of the 6 computers. Which means I have 36 openings. I am 2 short.
34 storage drives at 28 Terabytes a piece totals 952 Terabytes before a single upgrade.
Now is the time for the painful bit. Computer start up, logging into all of my accounts, setting up the satellites. Sigh. There is so much to do.
…
For the next 3 hours I completed the start up of everything and got lunch of course.
It is 3:30 and there are only 30 minutes left in the stock market before the end of the day.
So I will just wait for that by going and getting a snack upstairs.
While I was upstairs grabbing some cheese crackers my mom walked out and said, "Hey bud we need to go out to eat with granny. Erik took dad to the mountains today."
"Oh. Ok. Are we eating out? Or is granny making something?"
"No. We're going out to eat."
"Ok. What time are we leaving?"
"Around 5:30 or so."
"Ok."
Well now I have more to do today.
We have to go out to eat with my grandma every time Erik takes my grandfather to the mountains. Because she gets scared, being home alone.
Which also means that after dinner we will also spend time at granny's house. We usually stay until 11:00, but time varies.
Now I really have to hurry with what I have to do before we leave.
Ugh, how stressful.
…
30 minutes later at 4:00 I had finished my snack and was ready and waiting.
$7,469.96 became $45,952.01.
I'm back in the money.
Now focus.
I unplug the internet ethernet and plug it into the ethernet splitter, then I take the main connection of the splitter and plug it into my supercomputer.
That way the super computer has access to every other computer and so does the AI.
I boot up the hacking AI and enter into the satellite servers and give all of my satellites the same priority and invisibility as the original.
Now I have to set up the AI training model for the stock market using the practice site. That way I can fish in more ponds of gold.
Since there are more than 4 volatile stocks to trade the only limiting factor up until now was storage and data.
Storage has been taken care of, all that remains is the data, which is now being downloaded at either 500 MB or 2GB a second.
But, for now I have to wait.
Time to get ready. I put on the same clothes I always wear. Grey dress pants, a black belt, white slim fit dress shirt, and matte black dress shoes.
I hate shiny shoes, they look tacky to me.
Either way I'm dressed and it's time to go.
