work grumbles 

So now I have to be in the office at least 3 days a week from 11am-4pm because some asshat engineering manager that has a habit of dropping my desk and interrupting whatever I'm doing to demand I work on whatever thing of his is in my queue complained to the Senior VP of Operations that I was never at my desk to talk to.

Motherfucker, you are like 60% I why I get more work done at home than the office.

And he proceded to show up at my desk around lunch time to bug me about an install of some hardware that is taking way to long (his box won't talk to the ancient kvm in the datacenter I would have told him not to deploy hardware in and would have rejected it if he had followed our fucking provisioning process instead of just ordering outside of standard process and bitching about how it HAD TO BE DONE ASAP!!!!! And I got it racked that day and fucking worked on until 1am)

Two weeks later box still won't talk to kvm and IPMI is not playing nice networking wise... mostly because he insisted on putting it in the old ass datacenter with a bunch of fucky networking shit and were I don't have core access so I have annoy one of the senior ops people to double check shit because lol when IT installed the core router they bought one not radius enabled for "security" now IT doesn't manage any of it and Ops inherited it..

And it's not fucking like I'm not working on it... he demanded it be installed ASAP the day before I went on vacation for my birthday... and then last week we had two days off for oppress the natives day. I'm fucking pissed.

Worst part is my boss is just annoyed because he had no problem with what I was doing and literally responded with "I don't know why he can't just use Slack like everyone else."

And I have gnarly headache which... I'm pretty sure has something to do with weird lightning situation in the office... since I haven't felt this way since the last time I worked 6+ hours in the office.. it's like behind my eyes.
