Saga of newegg being shitty continues. They are refusing to refund me because the box was returned with two separate orders in it and no RMA label. Ignore that they recalled it from Fedex and it was returned directly to their warehouse. HOW THE FUCK WAS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO PUT AN RMA LABEL ON IT?!

I've wasted something like 12 hours on hold and talking with support over this issue since the item was originally shipped to the wrong address.

I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY A LEGEND, BUT TODAY I FOUND A FUCKING
ORWELLIAN WAGON THAT CHANGES YOUR GENDER WHENEVER THE SUN SHINES UPON IT

I had to share

Holy shit... the Wobblura's reg fees this year make me feel like just got mugged by the CA DMV.

Almost as much as one my lease payments D:

Brain hurts... head hurts.. hands hurt... actually my arms from the shoulder down are unhappy... still dealing with newegg bullshit (how can you fuck up and refund me for one of the items in the box... but not even record the return of the second item in the same damned box?!)

Oh... and I'm working from 1-9pm today... at least that gives me a good excuse to skip out on corporate bullshit christmas party tonight from 4-8pm (Seriously wtf.. who does that on a friday)

Ugh... tired... headachey.. spent all day trying to get an Ark Cluster up... and reminded how much I really want Ark to be a cool, fun game but it falls short (even heavily modded for PvE)

fucking awful day... exhausted... stressed... still an hour of work left... and only 1 day off... because I only get 2 weekends a month.

So tired of this.

Just tired of everything.

Bleh... chilly... grey day... it's 2pm and I still feel foggy and like I haven't gotten out of bed.. even though that happened 3 hours ago.

Bad hand day too.. maybe I should have taken pto.. that ship has sailed..

This dragon just wants a warm, quiet nap place but the pager keeps beeping cause shit's broken and Iaaaahhhh failing behind on projects...

Slow... slow dragon brain today.

Nerdy Books 

Holy Fuck... The Long Way To a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers is amazingly good!

Plus adorable feather lizard alien lady!

@mawr You should find and listen to this book. You will love it... and adore Sissix!

Holy shit... 3 days later a neighbor from down the street returned the SSD that was left ontop of our mailbox Thursday Night...

Amazon has already refunded me.. lol

ASUS YOU MOTHERFUCKING SHIT CHUGGING RED CAP GOBLIN FUCKERS! REQUIRING A BIOS FLASH THAT REQUIRES AN 8TH GEN INTEL PROC INSTALLED TO DO DOES NOT MAKE YOUR MOBO COMPATIBLE WITH 9TH GEN PROCESSORS

Sigh... partily assembled sans planned OS drive and gpu and no post.. get lights.. no beeps, no video.. post lights check in order but no boot light. Asus is less than helpful here.

Fucking hells... not my week for shipping stuff. Some asshat delivering for amazon pulled this number last night (in the pouring rain) and resulting in a stolen package (was not planned for deliver until today)
Who fucking knows.. maybe some thief will get some use out of that 512GB SSD

Holy shit flash storage is crazy cheap... just bought a 128GB usb 3.1 flash drive smaller than the tip of my index finger for 20 bucks...

Ugh... FUCK NEWEGG.. why can't I have a shipment held for pickup by Fedex? WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU MAKING ME CANCEL THE SHIPMENT AND RMA THE ORDER BECAUSE YOUR PAYPAY API OVERWROTE MY FUCKING SHIPPING INFO WITH AN OLD ADDRESS?!

re: Games, Arma 3 

then I got called SKYNET...
life goals minus the whole being a DETERMINED EXTERMINATOR.. because I like my meat friends.. even if they are fragile and squishy and would be much better if we substantially upgraded their fragile chassis and hulls..

Games, Arma 3 

Apparently.. I AM NOW SKYNET!

Because while doing some dynamic campaign stuff to learn the game with friends.. I set up a mortar firebase on a hill near an objective and then coordinated half a dozen quadcopter drones (MY STOMPERS ALL GOT THEIR TIRES BLOWN OFF BY JERKS!) to provide (mostly) accurate, constant mortar fire and intel to support the 3 people moving on foot to the capture point.

IT WAS GLORIOUS NOW I NEED GUNSHIP DRONES but they only come with missiles and rockets

Stupid fires... look.. I come in two varieties of dragon and neither enjoy sucking up a bunch of ash particulate in the air.

Just wanted to chill and grill some steaks for my birthday but that requires going outside... and outside is an ash filled, hazy atmosphere at the moment.

And wearing a filter mask that is flammable while grilling a steak sounds like a bad plan.

Career Stuff 

So got put on the spot by my boss today... during quarterly check in.

I have a month-end of year to figure out if I want to be pushed toward a Management Role or Prod-Ops (much more DevOps environment, much more scripting and AWS+ Terraform things)

Cause if I don't give input I'm getting pushed into management (sorta.. we are still strong on DevOps.. and all our management in OPS still do ops things and oncall and stuff)
