When I open a ticket with title
"Please Install x number of servers in Rack X"

Please understand I'm baffled with two separate people call me with in 2 minutes of each other to ask which rack I would like the systems installed in.

Oh hey the friday night while storm dragon is oncall datacenter explosions are all done and fixed... 3 hours after they started..

Random question, since signups are now restricted is there any sort of process in place for changing an a username/address (not sure of the correct terminology for masto)

1.5 hours of sleep... thank you so much pager duty... and high of 91.

Today is looking great./s

bleh pager gods are appeased for now. I am going to try to get some more sleep before it is too hot

Too damn warm... High was 67 yesterday today it is 81... :(

Obviously I'm just going to 'work from home' but not really today unless shit breaks during my pager duty window.

This sucks... I forgot this weekend was a holiday weekend. I am the only person on my team that didn't request today off... and I'm oncall next week.. including the holiday.

Capitalism sucks... I really want to call in sick today after getting 3 hours of sleep... I have the pto but I have a ton of work to do and would probably still have to cover my daily oncall period from 2-8pm anyway.

Bleh.. really fucking strange, disturbing dreams and waking up exhausted after a 13 hour work day...7 hours of which was driving to the site and back.

Got not a lot of sleep and not restful sleep... brain..

"DRAGONS DRAGONS DRAGONS DRAGONS FLAPFLAPADORABLESCALETHINGS!"

I'm going to go cry in a corner...

Of course Syfy would cancel The Expanse when S3 has a 100% On Rotten Tomatoes and pretty much across the board criticality acclaimed as the best thing since magboots, tang and sliced bread.

If you misconfigure a server in such a way that it causes spanning tree conflicts that cascade across the network and take down corporate email, phones, our website and everything else in the same datacenter... once it's a learning experience. Twice and I'm disabling your sudo permissions...

Especially I have to drive to the datacenter to physically unplug the box because of your oops...

Wait... I don't have to awkwardly avoid the work Cico De Mayo party... because I have 2 hours of meetings scheduled with people in East Coast offices today... starting at noon..

I'm not sure how I feel about this... because missing free food and we don't get catering anymore... but on the flipside I don't have to show up at the office with the VP of Support who tried to kick me out last year because I was distracting his techs... during a party.

Why did getting enough sleep make want to do nothing but sleep more?! Body we need to talk about this.. I know we've gone the whole dragon route but that doesn't mean I want to sleep all the time... and getting enough sleep should not make me more sleepy. Getting not enough sleep should not make me energetic.. until I crash..

Ugh... first time I've gotten more than 7 hours of sleep this week... and I feel... absolutely trashed.

Okay... welp.. you got me pegged Battletech the Game campaign random callsign generator..

First click.. "Thunder"

Fiiiiine..

Fuck people who don't follow request processes and ignore my on pto status on slack to ask me about projects I have never heard about that they need done asap but if they had followed our order process I'd of know about weeks ago

So my comp day for racking up 12 hours of OT during my oncall week including a 3am colo trip has turned to storm dragoness confusedly looking up shit and trying to figure out how to fit more installs at a location with no remote hands or lift in my week.

US Poli/Capitalism 

I'm not sure how I feel about this..because RMS is pretty out there... but fuck if this doesn't resonate with me a lot.

Earth is fucked and I want to a dragon... 

Just hear me out....

Look... we could go hunting for some other Goldilocks planet to seed and terraform... but there is one nearby. VENUS!

Put up a big ass network of solar collectors in orbit, start cooling it down. Crash some big comets into it for more water and 02... start terraforming!

Gravity is a pleasant .9G, thicker atmo and higher 02 content means flying is much easier!

Maybe a little terrain sculpting to add some more cool mountains..

Just because I'm a evening storm dragoness does not mean I want to go to the data center at 3am universe
