Wobbly One Of Myriads @wobblewuffess@awoo.space

So I just found out that our plans for new B site in Oregon are on hold and probably getting Axed... instead new management would like to continue piling more stuff into our already massively full... with no room for expansion current B site.

Which means my plans for relocation to our portland site are probably axed too...

Google's offer for Senior Ops Engineer/Operations Manager at the Dales, OR site is now looking a lot more appealing..

Like... arguments can be... go buy a laptop with a 1060 GTX and an actual SURFACE with the keyboard cover... etc..

Help.. someone please talk me out of buying a 15" Surface Book Pro 2..

off to LA next week... I was going to try to get travel plans made more in advance but nope... management kinda dwadled and fucked about and now wants site survey 3 weeks earlier than planned....
Which means they are now grumpy that it's 230 bucks to fly out of SJC... when I could fly out of SFO at 6am and redeye back at midnight for less than a hundred..
You know.. assuming I want to work a 22 hour day =/

I f I needed further proof of my storm dragon-yness!

Saw tri-tip onsale at safeway while getting gas, head to datacenter in the pouring rain. Finish up work there 2 hours later... still pouring rain . Get to safeway (impulse trip, no reusuable bags).

Get tri-tip walk out still raining hard, as I step out the door storm edge pushes forward and no rain from the front door to 3 spaces past my car.. Head home.. still no rain, moments after getting inside with paper bags, starts raining again!

OMFG... why would you do this... I'm pretty sure this box has a software raid.... and a bunch of hardware raid partitions... WHAT THE FUCK...

If you don't want me to explode your super special 1 off box with fucking 45 partitions... because the root partition is fucked up and I'm trying to fix it... you should answer my fucking questions about what partition is actually the root filesystem before I fsck the fuck out of one of the xfs partitions for FUN!

Any folks around here know anyone that works in Operations or Data Center Ops at Google?

Looking for information on what the work/life balance is like, ease of relocation (aka I want out of the SF Bay Area)

Wanting a not recruiter opinion on that stuff.

Small things to distract from shitty travel. "All set sir?" "Oh I'm so sorry miss." "Yup.." "Holy shit is that a phoenix roasting marshmallows." She points to my shirt. "Yeah.." "That is EPIC!" "I thought it was cute.." "But is epic.. have a great flight."

I would like my feet to stop feeling like they are being jabbed with a hot poker with every step

Please send massage kobolds and a FRESH SLEEVE!

At hotel... so tired... ordered lamb curry and garlic naan... now to try to stay wake... hotel needs more kobolds :(

All fueled up after some tasty chowder in Portland. Feeling surprisingly rested after catching an hour of sleep on the glide down.. now for the big one..

Hopefully there are some kobold minions...er..friends waiting in BOS... a tired storm dragoness will definitely need massages and warm oil scale polishing... and tasty foods

Okay, pdx is a pretty cool airport

Now time for Much sleepy flap and whoosh. 9 hours in the air, no sleep. Hope to grab a few zzzzs on the wing.

Blah... corporate won't pay overtime for travel for one of my team members soo I am probably going to have to spend the week of Feb 12 in Boston moving servers x.x with 6 hours of jet lag

Critical server to the support team... has a single 1TB drive... finally got to check out it's redundant pair... boomed.. long dead single 1TB drive, no backups... nothing

this triggered OH GOD SCHEDULE EMERGENCY DOWN TIME TO IMAGE THE GOOD ONE

I want a time machine so I can stop things like this from happening..
