Wobbly One Of Myriads @wobblewuffess@awoo.space

When you look and sound so bad in a zoom call your boss and team members are like "Fuck, go back to bed and get some rest." Day 2 of Covid Vaccine. D:

Stage 1 of Covid Vaccine completed (Pzifer).

It has been an hour and some change.. and my body is already getting unhappy. All my usual unhappy joint and tendon spots are already getting achy and fucking hell fatigue D:

Exhausted after 4 hours of back to back meetings because I don't know... people are assholes...

Then every single thing I needed to do today requires logging into Azure.. Azure Auth Services have been down for 2 hours....

Maybe I'll just take a fucking nap.

@Draekos This is an attack on dragons...

@lhos @fluxom_art@octodon.social

The little fin and strap button.. is so good!

@lhos @fluxom_alt I'm soo not surprised you sent this xD

So for those you that don't know, my team fell apart, everyone left but me and the same thing happened to the other major k8s project team, leaving 1 contractor and 1 junior SRE from a team of 8 (vs my team of 4).

So we hired a new Senior SRE.. h2b'ed of course, don't have an opinion of him yet beyond he really loves spending a lot of time trying to find ways to track work completed when we have a bunch of other problems.. namely trying to glue together the remains of two Ops teams (I mean.. me and 1 other guy who respectively don't know anything about the other project) while having a quarter the staffing (12 people down to 4 for the two super critical products to the future of the company.

So.. now I'm the odd person out because I'm on the west coast. They are all on the east coast.

I'm not a morning person and I never have been. When I got assigned to this team's manager I made it very clear that I basically don't function before 9am and generally my best work happens after 1pm.

Aka after they have all gone home.

So we kept my old team's standup times and that spared me having to get up super early aside from Mondays for a meeting with engineering in the UK.

Now they would like me to try being available earlier... and not so jokingly suggest I should pick up my shit and move to Ann Arbor.. because well.. 2 other SREs on different teams did that! Moved from CA to MI.

As if uh that was like a thing I would -ever- want to do. Then jokingly mentioned, well we have an office in ATL... like fuck guys I left GA for fucking reason!

As much as I HATE ON AZURE and I do a lot.. I know it pretty well and this our only Azure team (in fact we are now team AzureOps because none of them have any fucking creativity at all).

My boss offered to transition me to a West Coast team when the merge started but both West Coast SRE teams are not -product- teams they are service teams, once is all physical hardware (NOPE) and the other is our logging and metrics team which an ELK stack thing in AWS and like I haven't done shit in AWS for.. uhhhhh.. 20 months.

I barely scratched learning it before being assigned to k8s in Azure Project..

Anyway.. I kinda lost the point of this beyond.. WHY SO DIFFICULT.. work stuff.

@Draekos @Pathia @RamonaJay Sharkbold sharkbold sharkbold!

Would like to turn off some body functions today.. plz.

Like fuck. Feel like I've been chasing basic needs all day and it sucks.

@anthracite Height makes such a huge difference in ergonomics.

@anthracite I love my split keyboard for typing. It takes a little bit to get used to but after a while I've found it made me a lot more flexible about keyboards in general. Plus they are much more comfortable.

On that note, I'm once again reminded I really need to replace my desk with something lower in my home office. Working from home for a year has made my assorted hand/wrist/tendon problems worse and it is almost entirely because my home desk-chair set up is all wrong. :X
