Morning all. Last day in my current role.

3 more meetings, one more presentation to leadership and it's see you suckers

Going out for HH to a foodhall with a friend after work
 
Looks like we might get a storm around 1pm today and last until tomorrow. Let's see how it goes

I'm going to fucking LOSE IT.

Every day I sit on this call where the PM arrows through a fucking excel spreadsheet of the remaining post-go-live issues and people give their updates and he enters them. Is this 1995? Is document sharing not a thing? Can these fuckers not open this same fucking spreadsheet and add their own updates? And why the fuck are we using a spreadsheet anyway to track bugs/issues and not JIRA or ServiceNow or literally anything else?

And then my client wonders why the satisfaction from his business stakeholders is low... because we're showing them every day how we make sausage... and we're doing it with cuddly animals. We ask each of them to bring a bunny, kitten, whatever to each call and then we make those cute things into sausage in front of their eyes.
 
Morning.

Vacation is going nice so far. Been able to spend a bunch of time with my older brother, which has been nice. Been a bit cooler than we expected, but still warmer in NOLA than it is in Jersey.
 
Welp, had an accident this morning with the ice. Pulled out of garage and truck slid all the way to the bottom of the drive. Took out the mailbox and bent the rear bumper. Fuck me

Roy, I have to say this was quite the analogy

Thanks. I was practicing my wording for that when I chat with my client later today. I was going to use family pets, but that would bring too much emotion into it. Random kittens and bunnies would cause the outrage, but not the sadness of the pet connected to them.

Wife works remotely and I am continually surprised at how they handle things that really have more efficient solutions

every day at the end of the call they ask if anybody has anything else... and every day I ask if we can move this giant spreadsheet into JIRA or something similar. Today somebody else beat me to it. I think the tide may be turning.

Yesterday a FedEx truck delivered a package to my house, but when backing out of my driveway turned the wheel too soon and backed into a small hidden culvert buried under snow. He got stuck. My son was the only person home at the time and both neighbors I share a long drive with were gone, too. My son's Cruze wasn't gonna get him out. Dude had to call a tow truck to pull him out. I'm sure that ruined his day.

Winter just sucks. Just makes everything 10x harder than it has to be.

He probably was also forced to pay for the tow as well
 
Went out to lunch on Sunday, Tank's first trip into the Quarter. Little lightweight passed out in the restaurant. Couldn't even make it to a second restaurant. So very ashamed.
