Made a decision about something. I think it's the right decision, but I'm not entirely happy about it. Need to follow up on a different but related thing from last week.

Hung some art. Then the power went out. Went to a movie, and it came back. But the servers were all offline. Turned out Ubuntu doesn't distribute the realtek ethernet driver by default

Work frustrations are getting slowly better. Still a lot of stuff to get deployed, and a lot of waiting on people to review it so it can be.

I'm... angry about something, but I don't want to talk about it anymore, 'cause it'll just make me angry again.

Significant work frustration. Thinking-it's-not-going-to-work-out levels. Also kinda tired of people not listening to me. Really fucking tired of it, in fact. Got some returned posted today, tho. Fraudulent RAM from Amazon, and non-fitting
