How is it only Tuesday [NOT 31/8/21]

31/8/21 brightersideoflife 18

Hi, friends!

How is your day going? We had a big BIG event today on our teams and ahhhhhhh things went not as good as I had expected them to based on all the communication I’d had with the project managers over the last 3 weeks.

Let’s just say at one point the suggestion was “let’s just turn it on and see if these environment issues we can’t figure out go away.”

SPOILER ALERT

those issues did not go away

And as per usual, a few of the biggest issues were self-inflicted, so much so that a few of us were having a side conversation about how the testers didn’t think to check that scenario.

Anyways, tomorrow we get to triage new defects and scramble to fix them!

  1. Also my walking sandals are completely shot and the fucking company I get them from has stopped making that model and there isn’t a replacement. 

    I am going to have to try Tevas or Chacos now, and I am fat and a bad over pronator so I am concerned about the amount of support available. I was wearing Abeo walking sandals and they have a specific posted heel support to stabilize over pronators and I’m just assuming I’m fucked, here, too.

  5. My company’s main java environment is being replaced by a web-based one in the fall (this is years in the making). We have meetings with all the departments, and IT, and the other company involved like three times a week. Today we woke up and no one could get into the test web environment. No one knows!!!

  6. For those of you from GroupThink that know Violet Baudelaire, she commented on GT a couple of hours ago – 

    Hi y’all!! I’m alive and well! I just evacuated to Hattiesburg MS, so I have power and cell service for the first time in a few days! Feeling very lucky over here- lost the two big trees in my backyard but no major damage to the house. It’s been an excessively long few days (literally cannot believe it was only 2 days ago), but we are happy and healthy and in good spirits and appreciative of all of the kindness. I’ll holler back tomorrow more more info on what’s happening (I have a no idea what the national news is saying to be very honest I am scared to look because I don’t want to see coverage of the rest of the storm yet 😶). Thanks for all of the well wishes and good thoughts, they absolutely helped!

    And on that happy note goodnight, Deadsplinters. I gotta get up and hit the road for a soggy ride south to my sister’s in the morning. 

  7. I came home to a not-supposed-to-be-open door and treats uneaten by Gino with no sign of Gino. Apparently he followed me outside before I drove away closing the garage door by the button in my car. Long story short, after panicking and help from neighbours and the power of the internet, Gino is back home…safe and sound.
