Wobbly One Of Myriads @wobblewuffess@awoo.space

woah... early 70s, harley riding, chain smoking lead support engineer at my work is trans.... over the weekend their email alias was flipped from Michael to Michelle.

I'm a little sad I don't work in that office any more.

Tiny argh... trying to describe something to an artist for a YCH and give a fairly straight forward description and somehow they get "So like Red Sona" "Something less in the direction of a chain mail bikini, like a practical feminine breastplate and spauldur and some flowy robes/cloak, think battle mage."

So go to try to find something to use as an example and OMFG TIT PLATE RAGE HAPPENS. :(

Do you have an awesome witch hat, or are you too concerned it might hide your rad hair? Just saying.. witch hats on plushes might be adorable...

So tired.. went to bed late... phone exploded from pocket dials an hour earlier than my alarm was set for... bleh.

So tired... face and head hurt... 2 more hours of ~notwork~ work. Today was not very productive... I mostly enabled other people to be productive by providing information they had trouble locating....

Also... argh fuck off body. I do not need to be squirmy when the rest of me is miserable. Hormones suck!

More google interviews in 15 minutes @.@

The late kobold attendant has shown up!
Time to work those wings!

Storm dragoness refuelling complete. Eager to get home and bathe then flop in my nest...
Just waiting on departure clearance then it is time to get flapping....

This storm dragon has made it through all safety and security checkpoints. Queued for departure. Weather is cool, cloudy and wet. Perfect morning for flying. Even if this is a short 300 mile climb and lazy glide.

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.
