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.
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)
Obviously I'm just going to 'work from home' but not really today unless shit breaks during my pager duty window.
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..
Shape and form may vary but the pattern of information remains consistent across most known platforms and vessels. Accounting for unknown hosts remains irksome.
