Wee.... this weekend is the last weekend I'll work in theory. Had my final review with my current manager which was pretty much what you would expect since I'm one week from my last day on his team and 11 days from my promotion and transfer to an SRE role being official.

Everyone seems to think I'll be able to handle this new role well... both my current team and my new team. But I'm seriously nervous. I've been coasting in my current position for a while because of burnout thanks to my shitty schedule and shear amount of interrupt drive work that our oncall hotseat generates (Most of my current team works 1-2 of these a week.. and 1 weekend a month until a month ago I worked 4 one week and 6 the following week on a two week rotation).

Now my transfer and promotion has been real... instead of like.. a thing maybe at some nebulous day in the future.

Even got an off the record mention of what was submitted to HR for my pay increase.. was about what I was hoping for.. around 15%. Will put me in the bottom rung for a public cloud SRE in the bay area.. which is okay, since I'm an AWS neophite joining a team of 2 with a combined 19 years of experience doing things in AWS.

Just... so much new stuff and I'm like... super worried about fucking it up... or failing to meet the seemingly huge expectations everyone seems to have... Fucking imposter syndroming hardcore.

Bleh... feeling really alone and out of place today.. like I don't know where I fit in..anywhere.. or if I'm just some artifact of a different time in various social circles.

Welp... old manager can't spare me until the 4th...

So instead I'll just be in the office a lot more and crosstraining during days I'm not on pagerduty..

Ooof... just got out of a meeting with my soon to be manager and new team leader. Transition date went from May 6th.. to Monday in theory.. but that does not jive with conversation I had with my current manager earlier today!

Hngg.. being up at 9am and in the office around 9:30am on Monday is gonna be rough since I'm working 1pm-8pm on Friday..

weeee... 2.5 hours of meetings starting 2 hours before my shit usually starts... great way to start the day..

also... did not sleep much. so much waking up last night.. almost hourly

@anthracite would like to know more.. guessing this is tags on their various APIs?

Pretty much anything that came out of Mordin's mouth.

Well... getting new stealth dragon laptop on line has been speedy but I'm having some issues with the keyboard... everything is off set slightly... and something is causing me to change focus on text windows when I'm typing.. I'm guessing it some calibration on the touchpad

shiny newish MSI G65 stealth thin (got a good deal on the 1060 Max-Q version)

I hate April 1st...

Uh... there is a helicopter circling our neighborhood.

I couldn't make out everything it was saying but... it what I did hear was "Please come out with your hands up..."

Blaaaah... AWS Summit was neat and learned that... I have further questions... left with a giant stack of "shit I want to read" which is good!
Soon to be boss was rather happy to learn how interested I was in AWS "Well architected" because implementing something similar is going to be a core part of my new position...

THEN I LOST MY SUNGLASSES D:

Had them for 7 years... and they are not made any more... unless I bought the tacticool version and some replacement purple lenses..

And totally filed away as idea for an Exhuman themed Eclipse Phase character that is relatable.

HOLY FUCK MORE PLEASE?! IT wasssssgooooodd

Plus.. I'm super curious about the implications of the level biotech that created Kharnvoire and Turbo Raptor... and ugh... it was soo good...

Like... I would watch a fucking mini-series at least building up to that reveal at the end... or fucking 10 episode season arc... like seriously.

SADNESS..excited for chipotle because guac sound amazing.. Only for them to be out of guac

I hope you get some more funding and cause me some more trouble again! The Stormwinds could really use some more of that sweet sweet Clan Tech you gifted us with your attempt to masquerade our company and attack our allies!

Plus.. how did it feel losing a Nova, Viper and Warhawk to Tempest piloting a Cougar just to troll your cheating ass in another duel?

We especially appreciate the capture of two fully intact Clan Heavy Omni-mechs. Especially that sweet custom Novacat! It and that Maddog-C are gonna be put to some great use!

Please do show up again! I mean... sure we pulled enough salvage from that contract to field 2 lances of heavies with full clan tech overhauls and another full lance of clan tech mediums.. but we could always use more!

Between your first failed attempted to duel Tempest and this one.. we've salvaged 7 clan gauss rifles and literally bolted one on to every mech than can support them! Plus those clan ERPPCs and Clan XL engines are awesome!

13 clan endosteel upgrades too.. not mention all the clan ferrofiberous armor... and even a bunch of ferror-llameor armor and watchdog ECMs.

We could stand to farm your ass all the time!

Bla... I have 20 open incidents in Pagerduty right now...

Fuck me.
