Adulting, WORK
....
2018 holiday calender was sent out with a "AND THIS YEAR YOU GET 3 Floating HOLIDAYS INSTEAD OF 2."
Oh... we get less core days off in 2018 compared to 2017... and I still get a whooping 12 days of pto.. but I still thinking about when I'd want to take time off next year.. not "Who care I won't be here next year" which was a little weird.. probably because previous jobs I've always worked holidays..
Today in the life of storm dragoness... simple things that I have done many times and wrote runbooks and docs for are not working... and it is making these two emergency installs take way too long and there is no way I will finish them before I go on pto for my birthday... Also... being oncall and constantly harassed by pager duty is not helping either.
Did I miss it? Oh..hmm Not sure this is terribly important! Currently low on sleep storm dragony thing. Transplanted from the right coast to the left one.
Strange facts: I read between 900-1200 pages of stuff a week... for fun I think. I wish I joking but I recently checked my kindle. In between that I pretend to be Ops Person and wing my way through it. Oh and somewhere there are games on a screen.. and tabletop stuff.
Also forking is cool. Would you like to know more?
And it turns out it was a false alarm because someone forgot to disable alerts on a system they were working on....
Oh yes it so very dead. Time for a new vm image and mounting the old one's data partition... then hope and prayers... followed by coworker apologizing to any engineers that lost data.
Meanwhile... I get to be the bad backup cop and say "THIS IS WHY WE HAVE DATA BACKUP PROCEDURES! PLEASE FOLLOW THEM!"
