WTF Recruiters
Yesterday "Hi do you have time to talk about a Systems Engineer position at blahblahblah the leading startup in blahblah."
Me: Sure
Today 1 hour before phone call "Here is all the stuff for the position, it's an Enterprise Sales Engineer position, here are all the requirements including 5 years previous experience in Sales Engineering ideally for cloud products."
What I want to say.. "Hey... Sales is not Systems and did you even fucking read my resume after contacting me?!"
Hello 2018, the first day of you has almost slipped away.
Maybe this is tad late so I'll keep it short, sadly not simple:
Goals for 2018:
Stop living like I don't know where I will be in a decade.
I guess this starts by figuring out goals before I can plan how to meet them..
That's hard... I guess I'll have to figure something out.
Blah... I just dropped off one of my partners for a 10 hour overnight shift at work... and the whole time home all I can think of is... it's fucking 2017.. the company they work for has and uses literally all of the tools that make this a super easy "work from home" or just oncall coverage time... but "We want someone in the building overnight". Dayshift is working from home though... just want to be like "Really guys? Fuck.... we are handling the holidays with a simple oncall rotation.."
@mawr How do you resist flopping over for sleepy cuddles when working from home?
Quarterly Review: "Meets or exceeds expectations across all fields" Is there anything I could do better? "Uh no.. the rest of the team really looks up to your technical skills and willingness to help on pretty much anything. You've really stepped up over the last 11 months.. Just keep doing what you are doing!"
I guess this is a good thing. >.>
YES!!! MY PROPOSAL TO ALTER OUR ONCALL ROTATION SO THAT ONCALL ONLY GOT PAGED DURING OFF HOURS AND NOT WHILE OTHER PEOPLE ARE THE OFFICE MET WITH UNANIMOUS APPROVAL! Downside... I have to handle pagerduty from 4pm-7pm whether I'm oncall or not..
Upside.. no more being woken up at 5am because someone forgot to downtime a box they were working on!

This is kinda of interesting
Having fresh tumeric to put in instead of ground really makes the flavors pop out... so tasty. Chicken Garam Malasa (Mawrsala @mawr ) And saffron rice (ground saffron, bay, pepper, chicken broth and jasmine rice blended with a little short grain brown for texture)
Shape and form may vary but the pattern of information remains consistent across most known platforms and vessels. Accounting for unknown hosts remains irksome.
