Trash-assed, shitassed, racist, motherfucking, christofascist on-the-take SCOTUS. We've made discrimination great again, fucked student loan borrowers, cause you KNOW Congress ain't gonna do shit on it, ever, and there was some other trash decision that I can't even remember at this point, because I'm so blind with rage. I'm 99.9% sure there was one that fucked the environment on top of everything else.
D's need to come up with something a hell of a lot better than "give us money and vote harder" - tell me how you're going to SCOTUS-proof any good legislation you can get out the door. Cause as it stands right now - this country is basically being run by a handful of hateful assholes being paid to be that way. That's sure as shit not what I voted for, and short of sending them on a fishing trip in Orca-laden waters, I've got no solution for this, thanks to lifetime appointments.
BUT - in things that are NOT complete shit - IT'S LILY'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! She's 14 years old and still going strong, despite early stage kidney disease. She sleeps a lot and is generally pretty chill, but she still loves to be brushed, have her treats, and post-work cuddle and nap time. On the whole, despite her age, she seems happy, content, and comfortable - and that's the most important thing.
Happy Birthday to ME!
She's staying at home when we go to the beach and one of my brother's buddies is going to take care of her - I sent him an advance "LilyMonster Fact Sheet" and all I could think was "he's gonna see just how fucking unhinged I am about this cat" - but he LOVED it.
And with the beach is right around the corner, true to fucking form, guess who is working this weekend and probably Tuesday? I only have two things I'm working on - both of which are a "priority" (FML, if everything is a priority, nothing is) and everything was under control until it wasn't... Had either app *not* had to go back to dev multiple times...I'd be fine, but every time it goes back to development, I have to start testing again from scratch. And of course, the testing deadline is the day I get back from PTO, so it has to be done before I go or passed off to someone else.
That being said, I have no issue with telling She Who Assigns Shit that these may have to be reassigned to be finished off, because the work laptop is not coming with me. And honestly, there are 7 business days it can be worked on by someone else in my absence. And there is also the fucked up issue of both these apps being in parallel testing and no one else has been finding anything wrong?
One thing I have done is in my personal capacity scheduling going forward (and should have done back in May) - I've added pre-PTO padding for every time I'm out. If it can't be done by the padded date, I'm sending up a flare. I am so tired of this shit of having to work late/weekends/whatever before time off. "Oh, this will only take you X hours" except no, it doesn't, it's )(the realistic amount to do it right) * (the number of times it has to go back to development)), and that is never, ever X hours.
But, gotta deal with this current fuckup of not realizing soon enough that there wouldn't be enough standard work hours to get this shit done first. Onwards and upwards and all that happy horseshit.
You have a fantastic day, and don't let yourself get overscheduled at work like I keep doing.
