Wobbly One Of Myriads @wobblewuffess@awoo.space

And then our sensu cluster went up in smoke and we lost the database...

400+ silenced alerts unsilenced and reasons for silences lost...

thousands of pages for systems down... as 2 of the 4 nodes died in a fire.

ugh... I woke up feeling like I got trampled in my sleep.

Bleh today is a work from home day... and my right hand is acting like I done a ton of hard on hands stuff... when yesterday was very light on hands... must of done something in my sleep.. could be explained in the contortionist pose tangled and twisted in blanket I woke up in.

On top of that I have a headache... probably from getting 5 hours of sleep (thanks body)

And my hormones have decided today is a sensitive squirmy day...despite last blood work showing super low t-levels.

So I'm trying to fix this stupid box while feeling hazy, horny and squirmy and argh!
Also meat I was planning on cooking is still frozen solid after sitting in the fridge for 2 days and submerged in cool water for 4 hours so have to come up with alternative dinner plans

Blah... volunteered for a project to learn a thing that supposedly there was documentation for.

Engineering built all but one of the boxes without asking any one in Ops this morning while I was sleeping... said engineer then dumped the box he couldn't get an image in my hands and asked me to finish the project because the jira issue was still assigned to me. D:

So trying to sort out why a thing I've never done is not working.. and all help is gone for the day.

bleh... pager crap has been non-stop.. not only that but a not small number have been false alarms but the time it takes to determine if it is a false along is the same time it takes to fix if it is broken. I fucking hate mysql clusters.. 30 minutes and I get my first weekend in 2 weeks... this 4 on 1 off 4 on 1 off 2 on 2 off schedule is burning me out hard..

I just want to curl up in a little ball of hate right now.

Today I spent all day beating slaves in to behaving.

I hate mysql clusters.

Also brain is like... wanna write... body....

HI DID YOU KNOW THESE PARTS OF A DRAGONESS ARE SUPER SENSATIVE I'M MAKE YOU SQUIRM! HAVE FUN ESPECIALLY SINCE YOUR PLANS FOR THIS EVENING MEAN THIS WILL NOT GET RESOLVED.

Also... fuck 1-9pm work schedule on friday nights..

End rant.

Ugh... crashing hard all of sudden.. Headache, exhaustion, just want to nap. No focus...

Worst part of working from home on the weekends.. I so desperately want to take a nap right now.. AC is keeping my room cool.. bed is right over there... but.. pager coverage..

Ugh... can't tell if my shoulders, neck and back are sore from the dude that backed into on my way to work today or from carrying a 125lb server + box into fedex from my car..

Suddenly reminded I need to knock the rust off my python skills.. :(

Current position does not allow for much scripting due to my responsibilities and a dedicated team that build our tools and automates anything they can already

Fabric is pretty cool though I do use it fairly frequently..

I don't think Adalfyre has a masto but OMG I need to share this amazing piece she did for me!

Maybe it's discontent.. sure what to call it.
Just... dissatisfy comfortable? Not uncomfortable enough to try to change things.. unsure how or why?

I don't like it. Some negativity is bleeding into everything even though I try to be positive.

I find myself day dreaming a lot of escapist fantasy a lot more these days and devouring also sorts of average at best, trashy at worst science and fantasy novels. Like way more than I did even in the worst parts of my not great childhood.
But at the same time, I'm moderately successful, not drowning in a pile of debt or broke or being abused. I'm just unhappy a lot having trouble holding on to fleeting moments of happiness and my general outlook of the future is dark and scary.

Dear Software Developers,

When a service is utilizing 2TB, yes 2 Terabytes of RAM (DDR4 of course) on a physical machine... and still unstable, crashing because insufficient resources tossing more RAM at the problem is not going to fix it.

Tossing more physical nodes at the problem is likely not going to fix it either...

Sincerely,
Cloud Ops Dragoness

Ribeye was on sale for 6 bucks per pound... so that is a ribeye with portabella mushrooms, onions and bellpeppers for dinner. Marinaded the steaks and mushrooms together, sauted the veggies on the side in the marinade (green apple hard cider with onions, garlic, crushed red pepper, black pepper, green pepper, coriander and dill)

basted steaks with sauce from veggies and toss it all together on the plate :D

Nom

My shoulder is killing me because some install work was an extra pita today and the weather is crappy.

Now my body is like oh on top of that you get to be really squirmy and flustered now, enjoy!

Supposed to be off today.. but boss forgot to update the pager duty rotation... so I got stuck with a few pages.. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised given how stupid complicated the new schedule is.

Why? Because we were supposed to hire more people before switching to 24/7 coverage... we have not been able to hire or get a req for swing shift.. and one person on day shift volunteered to cover 2 shifts a week but he is hourly so his work week is Saturday to the next Sunday and he has to work 5 days a week where as I'm salary but not overtime exempt so I can only work 40 hours in 7 days consecutively so this is what my team kludged together with my boss.

Blah... so not thrilled with new work schedule.

It is still 10 days of work out of 14 but ugh..

Week One: Mon-Tuesday Wed-Off, Thurs-Fri, Sat-Sun-Off

Week Two: Mon-Thur, Fri-Off. Sat-Sun

Week Three: Mon-Tues, Wed-Off, Thur-Fri, Sat-Sun off

Repeat until I can't keep track of whether I'm working or not.

of course on my last day of work this week the following happens:

US storage B site has complete power loss including stand by generator failure for 8+ hours

Japan site has network detonation several hours before my shift

Get handed a ton mysql slave fix work as a result of first outage.

Japan site has major explosion again..

Toronto site explodes...

WTF..
