Frustrations and irritations. Had electricians out. Going to cost about $13k for what I need to do. Which suuuuuucks. But it has to be done.

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

Tearing down a bunch of recycling and trash, setting up and reversing a fridge, Factorio. I've also spent the weekend watching Bojack Horseman. Should be done before bedtime.

We're preparing to reorganize offices and bedrooms; spent part of the day working on that. The rest of the time was playing Factorio. Also THUNDERSTORMS yay.

A bug was found today. Coincidentally, I've had a fix for it sitting in an on-hold PR for three weeks. /shrug Kinda grumpy.

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 shoes from Vibram.

Broke the production site today. Well, a combination of my code, and someone else's bug, and production server configuration broke it, but. Found the problem, already have a fix ready. Ah well.

Assuming I don't spring for expensive fancy lenses for my eyes, I'm staring down about $12k to spend in the next few months on things like fixing the electrical service and a new bed. Drobo is working out, but damn does 24TB take forever

Went to Ophthalmologist, who says my cataracts are now bad enough to justify surgery. Which has me a little freaked out, but I'm tentatively scheduled for October/November. Oura may or may not work out. Might have to look at a bracelet instead. Some

Been working on test performance. On a branch that had increased test run time by 10% due to extra work being done, I've now reduced it to a little over half what it used to be. Drobo is syncing happily, if slowly. 24ish TB

Replaced all the drives in the Drobo. Ended up wiping and reinitializing the entire thing. It's all happy now, and have even more capacity than Antares does. Rsyncing data from Antares now. Apparently I broke the left system key on my desktop's keyboard the

So, Drobo says it's because of the drives I'm using. I'd planned to swap them out for bigger ones anyway, so I went ahead and ordered them ahead of plan. They should arrive tonight. Meanwhile, spent the day trying to install ubuntu on the

Drobo is misbehaving. It doesn't come back on reboot unless I pop out all the drives. Opened a support ticket. Went to Fry's, which was very sad. Made some progress cleaning my office. Copied a bunch of content to the Drobo as an experiment.

Biweekly retro meeting has an 'appreciation' section. Got called out three times. Got a Drobo. Currently trying to set it up. Also got six Atomic Pis mounted on a board... need to get them hooked up and set up. Tedious.

More things deployed. Broke one of my blogs, but that's OK. I don't use it anymore and have a plan to replace it with something else.

Didn't post last night because the little laptop that I keep by the bed for posting from won't log in anymore, and I was too frustrated to find one that would. So, yesterday, work computer problems while at work - had to hard-reboot five
