I found out last week that I was passed up for a promotion not because I didn't deserve it but because I got one last year.

My manager asked to have me promoted. People on other teams wanted me promoted. HR did not.

I wasn't mad about it at the time but the more that I think about it the more it's getting me down. I've been pushing myself trying to prove that I would be good for the position and now I have lost all motivation and I hate it. I like where I am at and I like what I do but this has really killed it for me. I'm struggling to get anything done now.

What is the point of removing code that will literally be added back in on another story? I just don't get it. I am in the code. It took two seconds to fix it but because it is not part of the story that i am working on someone is going back and ripping it out even though the next story is to put it in. Don't fucking complain to me because we are behind on this fucking project.

A co-worker/friend came in to work this morning and told me how amazing his interview went yesterday and how amazing the company is. He said he won't know if he got the position till Monday after they interview the other guy.

I didn't have the heart to tell him that the other person they are interviewing is me. I think it might get awkward when Monday comes and I'm not at work and he realizes why.

The one place I get to have fun with my code is the tests. Who the fuck cares if I use the test string "Mr. Snuffleupagus"? Please stop ruinning the little fun I do have by changing my tests in the very next commit.

Does anyone else get frustrated when your co-worker goes behind you and changes the name of a particular variable? Changing the word "repo" to "repository" does not clarify a fucking thing! You're not going to confuse it with something else. I've never once seen the word and thought "Damn, that guy meant reposition and I just fucked everything up." It would be one thing if our lead Dev told me to not use the word, but he could not care less.
Am I in the wrong?

I discovered that there is a Trump quote API! I was going to use it to generate test data in our lower environments but then I realized that I didn't want a call from HR

Our IT department told me today that they are no longer suppose to grant us admin rights on our development laptops. I am not sure how that is even possible...

Teacher in college:"Comment EVERYTHING"

Lead dev doing my pull request:"Why is there a comment in your commit!?"

emails....
how is it that every service can send out so many emails?
30,000 emails just this week, and those are just the ones i dont automatically delete.
how do people deal with it?

sitting at work listening to my coworkers talk:

"I use to like the taste of speedstick when i was a teenager."

i should not be surprised considering he uses his wife's breast milk in his coffee....

Using Resharper to change a var name:

"Hey! I didn't break anything!"
"wait... why didn't anything break? crap..."

does anyone else constantly catch themself's trying to use alt+enter or ctrl+space everywhere besides their ide?

Wife: It's Two AM. Why are you still on the computer?

Me: I have to get this API done by tomorrow.

Wife: WHO IS SHE?
