Always tooting for th'antihero @Momentrabbit@awoo.space

@JulieSqveakaroo My greatest hope is that if the flames I go down in are bright enough, they will light the way for others. *snugs*

@Austin_Dern Oh Ominous Spiritus!

@JulieSqveakaroo I suppose I can take some solace in knowing we are achieving excellence in the pursuit of industry-wide standards in information retention, workforce education, and personal growth and development.

@Momentrabbit I guess the point of this whole ramble is that being real is hard.

Oh well. 37 more years to go.

@Momentrabbit Problem one is that there is no training program for what I do, or how the company works. I am a Generalist with Delusions of Technicianism.

Problem two is that I don't speak Farsi; he can read English, but spoken comprehension is poor. And it's a loud shop. And orders are constantly changing.

I'm a bit tired. Been here since 4:30 this am to try to get a headstart on work. Already been politely told I'm an idiot by my boss twice.

@Momentrabbit I also have to manage keeping inventory stocked. I also have to manage and prioritize my own workload. I do not have a desk, a computer, or an email: my manager prefers to yell verbal directions and assume I'll grok context.

I *do* have an assistant, of sorts. I'm training him to do what I do for the soon-to-be-implemented Late Shift.

There are two problems.

I am not, by nature, easy to work with. I'm a perfectionist who procrastinates and overdesigns. I do not 'muck in with the lads'. I am, except under carefully managed allotments of medication, blood sugar and sleep, not a "good person," although I try to be. (Hell, some days I'm barely a 'person' at all.)

My job involves running three physically separated, complex and real-time-attention-needing machines with moving parts. (...)

@Leucrotta Absolutely, I know those feels well. Keep me posted! n.n

@Leucrotta *pokepoke* Ok, my cash flow situation is resolved. Gimme your Paypal account name or whatever, and I'll throw you funds for that eye exam, glasses, etc.

@literorrery @ElectricKeet *blinks*

*squints*

... fuck. It's bifocal time for bunnies. >.<

@literorrery @ElectricKeet ... why is your emoji brown pants with a black belt?

MFW a pagerbuzzer goes off in my left hip pocket. o.O

There is nothing in that pocket.

I heard it *beep*, too.

Three universes over, 'Moment is trying to debug his phone/pager/pocketwatch/tricorder and has no idea what's pinging back but with lag like that it sure ain't local...

I've cloned myself over at dragon.style, as it's gotta be good, being run by dragon. Right? Right.

@Momentrabbit@dragon.style is me.

@vahnj You're back!

@JulieSqveakaroo It's surprisingly hard to get back into, once you get out.

@squeakycheetah Run Jarvis on one pi, so you can talk at the network of the other pis and tell them to do things by voice command?

@literorrery ... ah. You and I have different understandings of 'can' and 'should'.

@LexYeen I'd be temped to assemble the cylidrical LiIon cels into flat packs of uniform dimensions, that could the slot into a set of busbars in parallel: that way if (when) one pack starts to fail, it can be removed with minimal effort and minimal reduction of available power, while being repaired.
