Almost 2 months ago I left my job for another that paid slightly less.

Can't belive I am saying this but I love my new job.

So I quit my job and am currently serving my notice period. I do the hiring for my team (lead dev). Today I got an email from a recruiter trying to recruit me for my current role ....

We have had 2 days on intermittent internet literally we have 5minutes of down time then 15-25seconds of the internet working. How can a tech company be expected to function like this!

Just heard a QA member say whilst training a starter:
'We are going to do some hacking now'

He just changes a URL argument.

What is a social life?

Was doing white listing and asked for the address they need whitelisted. Was given the street address 😐.

Guy left his computer unlocked. Boss came over looking for him, sat down at his computer and opened lots of porn and left saying 'that will teach him'.

QA: It's not working.
Me: Are you getting 503 errors?
QA: No, just the one.

Guy who has been with us for 6 months, I was trying to help him out, then he saw me use chrome dev tools and said he's never used them before... He's not someone I hired

Ran couple of interviews today I don't think I'm ever gonna forget this guy: He was explaining a time he worked in a team and used version control. I asked how he handled merge conflicts his response:
'If there are merge conflicts I delete their work and use mine, my code is probably better anyway'.

The office decided to buy us all ice-cream. I got mine out the fridge put it on my desk and before I sat down was asked to join a meeting, after that on the way to my desk got called over to help someone. Eventually got back to find my ice-cream had melted over my entire desk :(

5 minutes till I go home. And server breaks... Out of space and a bunch of the automation tools have thus done harm. I'm no DevOps. But I just want to go home but have to sort it out.

When a company emails 8000 + employees asking 3 people not to be disturbed in DevOps for 3 weeks. You know those 3 people have been screwed over by unrealistic deadlines.

Waiting for a bus. And there is a 14 year old smoking and looking after 3 10 year olds. She then gets them to role her 'fags' and then they all smoke. They are blaring rap from a speaker I'm annoyed everyone is annoyed.

They get on a bus full of elderly people.

Then I have my moment. I hear they are switching phone that the speaker is paired to, for different music. They even say the device name! I quickly get my phone search Bluetooth devices and pair. I connected all I could think was play the tweenies. And so I did.

They have hysterics of laughter, but I try act neutral containing my laughter. They keep saying they can't connect and that it's not their music. This went on for 10 or so minutes of them turning volume up and down. Until they catch on someone else is paired to it. I turn off my Bluetooth and get off the bus, you are welcome society.

New boss gets us to work overtime, all weekend and till 9pm. Promising that we will get that time back.

We get the project through the door. His KPI looks great to his boss. He then slithers his way around hints about this time back. Someone confronted him today and he says he can't officially recognise the over time due to company policy. The fucker.

New person managed to make a repo read only by pushing 3GB to BitBucket.

Boss: Can you interview someone at 3pm
Me: Sure.
(Me: looks at watch)
Me: That's in 3 minutes.
Boss: Yer he's waiting in reception can you get him.
Me: -_-

Hate those bugs, where you stumble upon a fix but have no idea why it fixes it or what is causing the bug!

Just discovered Katalon and Selenium. If I knew about it earlier I could have saved days back in 2017 if not weeks. <3 this is a good start to 2018!

Exercise and drinking more water whilst laying off the coffee on when not in work.

No sudo on cloud server... Thank you brewlinux you have saved me from dependency hell!

For the last year I and my team have worked hard decreasing loading times on our products as we have been nagged and nagged about making everything load as fast as possible. Now we have been told to make things load slower or add a pause for a few seconds once loading has gotten to the end...

3 weeks till deadline... Gonna be hard. Get in find emails from PM, boss and his boss, deadline moved deadline today... Ffs.

We have this lovely little old lady who works in QA and whenever she finds a bug she goes across the office to the developers desk and taps them on the shoulder and spends like 15 minutes explaining and showing the bug...

This is infuriating as you lose all concentration on what you are working on and wastes so much time... But I can't bring myself to tell her to stop just can't find kind enough words. She's a lovely person and means well but it seems her world runs a lot slower than everyone else's.

Arg so we were acquired by a corporate company a few months back and now they have installed cameras in the office and swipe cards... No trust :/

So today I found out I'm a Senior Developer. Was I told nope. Just found it on my contact details on the company address book. Ask boss about it he said yes I am. Would have been nice to have been told I was promoted...

So it's Friday and keep in mind this is an open plan office and on fridays the office supplies unlimited beer on company time. Someone bought a pile of new rubber ducks for the office. Little did he know that when you squeeze them they squeak... I'm sure you can imagine the scene, very little work was done.

New guy started today. Nobody knew this. CPO forgot. There was no computer available. He was sent home after an hour of waiting in reception.

So worried people will fuck things up in work when I'm not there. It's causing such tiredness and such long days. 🙇I think it's caught up with with today. No holiday leave taken for 9 months and not a day off sick. 🏳

Almost got my manhood out at work.

There I was in deep thought needing the toilet but wanted to get a coffee first. So I get up go to the kitchen and catch myself next to the bin unzipping.
