Fucking weatherman is playing with my emotions.
Yesterday they declared heavy rain all day. This morning they only guess at light rain in the early afternoon.

the satisfaction of being proved right is cold comfort when it still involves hours of work because our backup architect finally fucked something up that drew notice.


loki: hey, I think we're backing up raw sql files and the dumps... should we add some manual file exclusions?
architect: no, no... you're wrong. the raw files will be ignored.
*4 months later*
loki: hey, these backups are using tons of space. I'm pretty sure we're backing up the raw files in addition to dumps. *attach screenshot to email*
loki's boss: yeah... why don't you go fix that?

/facepalm

I'm in really irritable mood today. Feel like anything happen I'm flip.

Hope I didn't fuck up this customers laptop.
Getting my coffee in, then am gonna tear it apart to see what's up.

After the whole psych ward, jail & homeless last year, I've come to realization that I have lost any passion I had in this profession.
Every job I had before this one, I genuinely enjoyed, even at their low points.

I'd rather chill & focus on my YT stuff. At least that is enjoyable.

trash talk on English majors all you want, but being able to communicate well via the written word helps me out on the job every day.
