CW: Orthocosm, censorship, capitalism #mademethink, Engadget link 

Came across this in my firehose of RSS feeds and it made me full of thinks and some sads, and I really hope that there are enough of people around my age that are taking the chance to work into the places where decisions like this were made and doing their best to change them when they can

Weee... Ops Dinner thing done.... dodged the going out drinking with my boss's bosses thanks to the whole UTI thing... so there is a silver lining to this unpleasantness.

re: idle lewd 

@kistaro

Definitely something I need to get more of!

Work 

Working from home with a UTI... had a simple plan to fix and resolve a P1 issue that someone pushed off me yesterday because I laid out everything that needed to be done in the jira issue but did not get a chance to work on it Monday or Tuesday (because going to after hours clinic because penises are not supposed to leak blood after urinating)

What actually happened?
Apparently I fucked up our svn staging version of the file I was working on because I updated to Mojava but didn't update XCODE Tools... so when I merged my 10 line change...

SVN merged the same 10 line change 200+ times adding 700 and something lines.

Meanwhile my phone is going off like fucking air raid siren the whole damned day because vpn boxes are onfire and mysql slaves are on fire and this thing I'm trying to work on... is P1 also fire... that someone decided to assign to me because left a comment saying "I'll work on this if I have time but otherwise here is what needs to be done"

None of which should have been difficult or hard or time consuming but someone decided they didn't fucking want to do anything about and ignored the P1 in the critical queue by re-assigning it back to me while I was asleep.

Thanks jackass.

Soooo I'm out of fucks and out of spoons and ugh...

I have a team dinner tomorrow which includes all of my upper management and the team I'm supposed to be transitioning to with promotion in a few months.... and I have a UTI.... and I really want to just take tomorrow... off because I'm working this weekend too... but... fuck I feel obligated to go... assuming the pager doesn't fucking explode from 5pm-7pm tomorrow... I guess if it does I'll slip off home to fix things.

Health, Blood, Squick 

Welp... I love that Kaiser can get my urinanalysis results posted to me before I get home.

Sadly... I don't know what to make of them other than.. oh jeeeze that is a lot of blood in my urine... which I guess fits since I kinda covered the toilet in blood after giving the sample.

Ugh.. meat bodies suck... bleeding from somewhere I should not be bleeding... now I get to drive an hour during rush hour to go see a doctor..

@Caudle @mawr

This is fucking adorable... I just... working the tail out to trying slim it down.

It's okay.. thick dragon tails are <3

@KinkyKobolds
This is my fault.... for stating that kobolds are not snack sized dragons... during a starfinder game.. and some how it spiral out of control... because someone is obsessed with McNuggets...

@kelseyhusky Goood luck.. I got out of being oncall off hours... only to be oncall during every shift I work.

Annnnnnnnd promotion and team move looming in the future puts me back in a weekly oncall rotation.

If you are doing something important in Operations.. chances are you are going to end up in an oncall rotation :(

Today...

Everything is on fire... has been on fire since before my shift started and I'm bouncing between 3 different incident zoom chats and 4 slack calls to mange everything..

re: ???, death, senseless violence, guns 

@IrisKalmia Definitely a difference there :(

re: ???, death, senseless violence, guns 

@IrisKalmia

That is definitely needless death. Crows and birds in general can be dealt with non-lethally.

Gophers.. moles and the like I totally get. They eat your crops and there isn't a lot you can do to stop them.

Same for White Tail-Deer in a lot of areas. They can jump any reasonable fence you put up and can since we killed all their natural predators are a huge pita.

Positive Work Stuff 

Gods I have an awesome manager.

Had my biweekly 1on1 meeting with him and discussed the topic of me moving to Prod-Ops and on to the team internally that wants to recruit me and it was relieved more than anything because he felt bad about the fact that I've been on his team for 2 years (well 1 year, 11 months and 19 days literally 1 month after it became officially a team. I'm the most senior member other than him) and not had the opportunity to start working with some SysEng or NetEng to secure an advancement path because of geographic distance + schedule conflicts.

He was very supportive of making this transition happen and asking what sort of resources I'd need to complete my major project (getting us out of a data-center that is being demolished in September) so I could focus on training up for the move to a new team.

He was also very open hiring Aurora as my replacement, which would be great because it would get her out of a very toxic work environment and out from under a slowly collapsing company and I fully believe she could do the job.
