Thanks to John Scalzi's wonderful burdsite response to the straight Pride Flag I stumbled across this... and it is really good and worth a read.

Burdsite link because John Scalzi is surprisingly awesome dude who writes some pretty great modern scifi.

so ... I spent all of Tuesday working on some static infrastructure deploys with complicated db setups in AWS... and then a good chunk of yesterday.. today the dev team was doing it for looked at it and collectively facepalmed because they uploaded and posted the wrong fucking cloud formation template... and forgot to update the docs with the new parameters they wanted and didn't post any of that in the jira tickets for the deploys... soooo I get to do it all again. On the upside they are groveling ad apologizing.. a lot.

My brain hurts... and I would like to turn it off though..

Also... and then my coworker had forgotten to put my keys on a bastion host... and the devs that built the templates for got to add security group rules to allow any access to the dbs... for things like first time configuration.

So much fun but I learned the things... and fixed the things.. and made better documentation for the process and future...

Today... a dragon sent out to deploy two sets of static infrastructure stacks with some fairly completed aurora rsd mysql stuff...

That was 12 hours ago... and one stack is deployed but the databases still need to be built. So... many weird things went wrong... and ughskdfjdf mysql is very weird about allowed password characters... and I WAS BETRAYED BY PASSWORD GENERATORS TWICE!

On the upside... $3/lb is hard to beat for tri-tip... I might have bought 13lbs of it and plan on freezing the second pair of cuts..

Hnggg... I'm fairly certain that the butcher at safeway saw how fatty those cuts of tri-tip were and went "Aww hella naw... we'll just sell them untrimmed at a discount and call it our memorial day sale" I just trimmed around 2.3lbs of fat off a pair of them @.@ my hands hurt

Bleh... my whole day feels off because my phone decided it was update time while I was sleeping... and I woke up 45 minutes late... 15 minutes after my daily standup...

Wobblura is in the shop... various home relationship things are mess because of someone having relationship issues with their other partner and I can't help them... shit just sucks today.. and having a 4 day weekend didn't seem to help.

Holy fuck.. updated my Linkedin with new position and akdjfdjfdjfd so much recruiter spam. Now if only SRE things didn't mean pick your flavor of horrible mega-corp dick to suck.

bleeeeeeh..... my phone crashed while I as asleep... and so I overslept by like 2.5 hours :(

"Hey guys... can we like avoid repeating the clusterfuck that is our elventeen billion.. AWS accounts when we start moving over to Azure by having like sensible, enforceable, already in place multi-tenant plan before everyone starts moving things over? Look we can even set up things with Azure Policy to avoid cost over runs and dumb things from happening.."

"NOPE SORRY ALREADY HAVE LIKE 10 DEV ACCOUNTS PAID FOR WITH CORP CREDIT CARDS OR PERSONAL CARDS THEN EXPENSED AND SOME RANDOM ASS DEV IS THE ROOT POLICY MANAGER BECAUSE WE ALL PIGGY BACKED OUR PROD STUFF ON HIS ACCOUNT! FUCK YEAH! PLUS LIKE THAT WOULD TAKE SOME C-LEVEL PERSON DOING MORE THAN SAYING 'HEY GUYS WE AZURE SHOP NOW FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THERE LIKE WHENEVER YOU WANT!!"

Oh and nobody is bothering to put anything into CloudHealth even though it is requirement... and IT hasn't even set up CloudHealth integration yet... because they own it... well.. it is busted as fuck!

Oh.. oh and you are the first ops team to ask for access and we have like no account creation policy in place or anything how people are supposed to request access.. so it has been bounced around a week and my team still has no accounts...
But hey... we have to have one of the services we support spun up and running in Azure by the end of June to meet our enterprise contract reqs with M$ :D :D :D

I'm sure this will go great and totally not turn into a huge cost overrun clusterfuck.

So apparently I'm Terraforming all the things...

because they used CloudFormation before and now we are being forced to support services in Azure and various engineering teams would like to shift things to Terraform because we can use it for containerized things in both public clouds..

Look.. this feels wrong, since we do Storm Dragons do Terraforming?! I guess Hurricanes or Cyclones could count...

A dragon, most of the time, that decided the universe was too big for just one of her to exist. Except not all of them agreed on what to be. So some are dragons, some are von numen probes, some are overly friendly almost smatter and one is 100% reality warping trouble.

LOL and then I took down a service because I was following the docs provided for deployment..

Only for some reason Step 2 should have been the last step. :X So I took down the live ECS cluster before I sparked up the new cluster. :D

In summary.. FUCK HR.. I'm working for one month at 15% lower than what I should be because they could not be assed to do their jobs in timely fashion.
