Home issues 

Look I fucking get it.. they struggle with depression and ptsd... but I got my own pile of issues and work 40-50 hours a week and so does Aurora.

Don't ask them to pay for food or rent and they don't work... I don't think it is outrageous to ask for 15-20 minutes of house work a day.

Home issues 

Getting more and more frustrated with this person... they live here with us for free.. barely contribute to house choirs... I spend a lot of money on food and stuff for them and I might as well be asking them to climb a fucking mountain when I ask them to unload and load the dishwasher or take the trash out (to the cans.. instead of piling shit on top of a full 30gal can with a 30gal bag in it)

Aurora and I fight about what to do with them on a regular basis...

Home issues 

Great... two for two on causing shit tonight.

Came home from dropping my partner off and noticed housemate walking off with a plate that had the two remaining ribs I made for dinner on it... each around 1.5lbs of meat.

I politely suggested they should start with one because just shy of 3lbs of meat is fuck ton of pork and they are boneless pork shoulder cut in to "ribs" so all meat.

They stomped off after putting their plate down and won't talk to me.. awesome.

Work/Tech WTFs 

My team: quietly leaving the meeting trying not to run away laughing or screaming or snickering..

Work/Tech WTFs 

Then here comes the big one "We should... like do pull requests.. and maybe set up a slack channel for people to announce code changes and stuff."

My team: Collective jaw dropping... because that is the first thing we did when we started our project...

"Oh and made the pull requests mandatory, this isn't like some one person greenfield show anymore and like.. I don't think it was malicious but it sucks to have someone push code straight to master and fuck everything up."

Work/Tech WTFs 

So we get to it and the guy that brought it up goes into a rant about how one of their team members pushed a bunch of changes straight to master over the holiday weekend that blew up every one on their platform's k8s clusters because their flux-weave implementation does continuous deployment to -all- environments as soon as changes are pushed to master.
We offer some suggestions about doing git tags for versioning and pinning versions to specific environments they shoot those down

Work/Tech WTFs 

Sitting in a meeting with "the team building a competing k8s platform to our own" that really wants to bring my team and project into theirs... we are both using almost all the same tools and doing similar things... on the agenda is "Better ways to communicate and share code" which I took as.. oh they want more insight into what we are doing and vice versa.. cool.

re: Car Dealerships 

@mawr Would not surprise me at all.

They were fucking hungry for trade in/lease buy out. Like... I've had someone call me or email me ever week for the passed 6 months about it from their dealership.

Apparently they get a lot of "Do you have a Forester XT" requests since Subaru killed them. Even for used ones.

Car Dealerships 

@kistaro

Pretty much that.

The worst part is... if Subaru still made Forester XTs.. or stuck the 2.4 turbo in from the Outback XT in one.. and the new not shit infotainment system that has android auto it.. I would buy one.

I love my Forester, all I really want in it is a better head unit with Android Auto/Car play.. but there are only like two options for aftermarket and they require a bunch of custom wiring.

Car Dealerships 

The whole time I'm sick with an ear and sinus infection and miserable.. trying to do some work on my laptop from the dealership.. and never got lunch because repeated "Oh just give them 10-15 minutes" that took 30 minutes each time.

Fuck... please note I specifically signed up for "I'll be staying at the dealership so do it fast" service slot. Somehow an hour and half turned into 3 hours.

If they had just said at the start "We are really busy today." I would have fucking left

Car Dealerships 

Got check with service department "Oh tech is just finishing up.. let me go find out how long it will be."

30 minutes later "Oh let me pull it around, they are done!"

15 minutes later my car is now out front.

Start going over the paper work "Oh tech left the inspection checklist off the clipboard"

10 minutes later "Found it, it was on his toolbox and he went to lunch."

2 hours and 55 minutes later finally going over service paperwork.

5 minutes later. LEAVING FINALLY

So the toss some numbers around, I'm like, "I don't really desire to pay more than I'm currently paying for the Forester per month (445) they come back with well.. with trade in we could get you an Outback for $527/m

Or 445 if you put 4k down.. I struggle not to laugh in this dude's face... mumble something about just give me the numbers on paper so I can talk it over with my partner and escape.

Total time at dealership now 2 hours.
