Jurassic World 

OMG Hatchling Blue was super adorable! Like why can't we have genetically engineered adorable tiny raptor friends to hug and pet.

Also... Indoraptor was kinda hot.

turns out 3 days + weekend vacation was not as relaxing as I hoped...

Thanks brain... how did we manage to get -less- sleep while on vacation than on a work day? Blah sleepy but things to do..

Phone Stuff 

My now ancient by handheld device standards HTC M8 One is dying, crashing a lot. Looks like bad memory.

I'm not in a position to outright buy a new phone but I could easily finance one, in retrospect I feel a little silly for paying for Jump for 5 years and never upgrading because at the time they did not offer separate phone insurance at the time

I could upgrade to a LG G7 ThinQ for 30 bucks a month.. and get a second one free at moment.
Thoughts, suggestions etc. T--mobile only

This does not really make up for the fact that when I negotiated my original salary I was not expected to be on an oncall rotation, work second shift or work weekends.

Second shift and oncall have been a thing for about 6 months. Working weekends starts after July 5th.

There needs to be a word for this:

Getting a surprise you didn't expect, that is a good thing but at the same time is disappointing because neither you or anyone else is happy with how it worked out.

Aka... I got a 2.85% raise today. I was not expecting a raise at all because I new how fucked our ACR budget was. My boss was glad to be able to give me something but really wanted to get me much more substantial one but I'm already the highest grossing member on the team.

When I open a ticket with title
"Please Install x number of servers in Rack X"

Please understand I'm baffled with two separate people call me with in 2 minutes of each other to ask which rack I would like the systems installed in.

Oh hey the friday night while storm dragon is oncall datacenter explosions are all done and fixed... 3 hours after they started..

Random question, since signups are now restricted is there any sort of process in place for changing an a username/address (not sure of the correct terminology for masto)

1.5 hours of sleep... thank you so much pager duty... and high of 91.

Today is looking great./s

bleh pager gods are appeased for now. I am going to try to get some more sleep before it is too hot

Too damn warm... High was 67 yesterday today it is 81... :(

Obviously I'm just going to 'work from home' but not really today unless shit breaks during my pager duty window.

This sucks... I forgot this weekend was a holiday weekend. I am the only person on my team that didn't request today off... and I'm oncall next week.. including the holiday.

Capitalism sucks... I really want to call in sick today after getting 3 hours of sleep... I have the pto but I have a ton of work to do and would probably still have to cover my daily oncall period from 2-8pm anyway.

Bleh.. really fucking strange, disturbing dreams and waking up exhausted after a 13 hour work day...7 hours of which was driving to the site and back.

Got not a lot of sleep and not restful sleep... brain..

"DRAGONS DRAGONS DRAGONS DRAGONS FLAPFLAPADORABLESCALETHINGS!"

I'm going to go cry in a corner...

Of course Syfy would cancel The Expanse when S3 has a 100% On Rotten Tomatoes and pretty much across the board criticality acclaimed as the best thing since magboots, tang and sliced bread.

If you misconfigure a server in such a way that it causes spanning tree conflicts that cascade across the network and take down corporate email, phones, our website and everything else in the same datacenter... once it's a learning experience. Twice and I'm disabling your sudo permissions...

Especially I have to drive to the datacenter to physically unplug the box because of your oops...

Wait... I don't have to awkwardly avoid the work Cico De Mayo party... because I have 2 hours of meetings scheduled with people in East Coast offices today... starting at noon..

I'm not sure how I feel about this... because missing free food and we don't get catering anymore... but on the flipside I don't have to show up at the office with the VP of Support who tried to kick me out last year because I was distracting his techs... during a party.

Why did getting enough sleep make want to do nothing but sleep more?! Body we need to talk about this.. I know we've gone the whole dragon route but that doesn't mean I want to sleep all the time... and getting enough sleep should not make me more sleepy. Getting not enough sleep should not make me energetic.. until I crash..
