Sometimes I wish I was a cow, eating grass in some field

No more code
No more stress
Just moo

One of my collogues seems to now think Excel macros are a good thing and something that should be used on the reg.

I don't like this. Crappy in-house software is my department. And I won't use F***** Excel for it either

Every time I get invited to another recurring meeting, a part of my soul dies

I don't know if I'd quite say it's MY specialty yet but the company I work for specializes in automation. I'm technically a support/DevOps person atm but they've got me heading more more back into dev work (which is good)

Next time I have to negotiate a contract I'm gonna ask for x hourly but 2x for meetings

Fuck meetings

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to do a military contract as a programmer. Then I remember those guys are always the ones who get murdered on NCIS

Y'all ever sneeze so hard you hurt your whole upper body?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

List things I think at work

1. DevRant's gonna love this

I'm so used to camel casing variable names that when I wasn't concentrating properly just now I called a variable "outPut"

That moment when the one meeting about something I actually care about gets me out of 3 other meetings

Idiot Americans who think that mm.dd.yyyy has any right to exist

Working causes weight gain

"Please put you cameras on"
put photo of me as background, closed privacy slide
Hope no one notices I'm not blinking

"Here's something that's actually not good enough. Now be grateful"

Life lately

This is with nothing open. How the fuck am I supposed to work on here. Defiantly won't be firing up any VMs

--
Yes, it's all background crap, no I can't close any of it. Yes, I have rebooted

Two people banged 24 years ago. Now I have to go to meetings everyday

Until a few days ago, I had 2 teammates. The one I got along with better left. Kind of weird doing this without my backup eyes. He was very on ball which was nice since my brain is basically a sieve these days

Having some front issues, are we?

Goddam chair broke. Not a good time. A new chair is the kind of thing I'd usually like to take my time with. Looks like I'll have get a cheapy temporarily. But we all know that goes

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

So these same mother fuckers that think 8:00 is reasonable time for a meeting, have decided that the health checks need tk be done by 7:00

But no, I must just be grateful to have work

Things I like about WFH
-save petrol and mileage
-work in underwear
-big TV during lunch
-time saved by no commute
-lie down during meetings

Things I dislike
-feel like my room has been invaded by work/miss the physical separation of work and home
-distractions and temptations
-they moved the stand up to ealier because of WFH
-Everything has to be a meeting. No just popping by someone's desk with a quick question

Sometimes I miss physically seeing my colleagues/getting out of the house but not often

How do we feel about PCs on the floor?

They want me to document Nifi flows.... In a spreadsheet

Like... Just...

Abd the existing format is just awful

Barely worked the last two years. Brain is a fucking sieve now. Extremely frustrating not retaining information/not understanding systems I know I'm vsmart enough to.

The fact I have to basically waterboard people to get information doesn't help, but even so...

Never actually done one. Hopefully that can change this year

The amount of meetings I wouldn't have if people just used Jira properly

Now I didn't become a dev solei to avoid paperwork but the lack of paper was appealing...

I'm stuck in a support gig because it pays more than any of the dev jobs I got offered and I do is write is docs on Confluence.

Please no "Money isn't everything" comments. I agree but the dev offers I got, I couldn't live on

Corporate bullshit and bloated systems...

I keep on getting sucked into meetings where I know what each word means but the sentaces don't make sense

This is a good question... I really struggle to get my groove on. Starting is the worst. Once I'm in it though...

Anyone else encounter circular dependencies when trying to learn stuff
