Gave in... panang curry and chili-basilfried rice...

Internet help! Can't decide if I want delicious Poke Bowl or Thai curry things for dinner!

Augh... today I wish I had cancelled thanksgiving plans.. everything hurts, all the cookings are taking too long and mmrrf..

sigh... cold shower tonight... hot water heater pilot is out and won't light..

DDOS mitigation testing... "wooops we grossly under estimated how much traffic we'd need to generate so we'll have to schedule a new test."

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..

tbh Fogo de Chao is basically a dragon's dream... kobolds constantly bringing lots and lots of tasty meats... until you tell them to stop... and they just wander by teasingly with it and it smells soo good so you ate waaaaaay more than you should. :X

Maybe taking a dragon to a place were minions bring lots and lots of tasty meats to the table and don't stop until you tell them to... and then don't listen very well... when you tell them to was not a good idea.
I was defeated by meat faucet and now I'm paying the price.

Today is a nice rainy day... my favorite kind of day. Thanks Nature :D

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.

So glad I will be on PTO tomorrow... even if I'm still oncall until 7am.

Please send real life extraction team, I need exfil asap.

Okay.... fine... I get it.. not getting back to sleep. Stupid Oncall... Stupid mom texts right after I roll over to sleep some more.... then bullshit pages for decommed hosts..

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....

How to know this on call rotation is going to be hell... woken up 30 minutes after I become oncall.. thanks pagerduty I only needed 4 hours of sleep.

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!"
