User: “Just any user on the system yesterday.”

Me: *quietly logs out, Packs keyboard and mouse, Leaves building*

User: Every laptop in our fleet is having problems with Product, They all use the same network card, so therefore your product muat have an issue with said hardware!
ME: Reasonable assumption, I’ll need to Investigate though, and for that I need *specifics* Times, Dates, Usernames, MAC Addresses.

Presumably, if Language was 'natural' we wouldn't have to spend years teaching it to our offspring ..?

If you ask me, things went to shit when we stopped worrying about server uptime.
*mutter*

The Claude documentation goes on about using ‘Natural Language’

As opposed to ‘Unnatural Language’ ?

What the Fuck is ‘Natural Language’ when it’s at home ?

Annie and I played Jasper the 'Moral Dilemmas' routine by DAAS on the weekend.

Like, To the poibt where Im considering actively refusing to participate in future employee reviews on that basis.

Which will probably end up costing me my job - But goddamn is it an attractive option.

Ivebeen thinking a lot lately about how the whole ‘employee review’ process at any workplace is especially geared to reward Neuro Typical behaviours and mindsets and the more I think about it the angrier I get.
I really need to stop thinking about this.

The rare Parasitic Pulmonary Butterfly, Whose presence is often mistaken for the first signs of "Love"

No Idea, I've not heard that one :)

random person: I Must have adhd too! I took one of my friends dex tablets and cleaned the house and did my tax and was up all night.
Me: No. Come back to me after you take 4 of those babies and then have a nap - Then I'll agree with you.

I think they've won, I don't think I can care any more.

I think I'm done.

My Day consists of simultaneously having to;
A: Prove To Customers why they're wrong - Often repeatedly, usually without success.
B: Prove To Engineering why I'm right about something.

And its only after I've done both that I get any help.

(VIP) Customer has requested an update on this particular issue.
I'm supposed to regularly update them as to the progress of this escalated issue.
I am not sending them an email daily for the next 3 - 6 months saying 'Sorry, Still not fixed, we really are serious about fixing it though!'

Seriously, I am have a Fight Club moment here, and I'm not enjoying it.

Hypothetical question:
You are a $Company, providing a $Product.
There is an issue with $Product that potentially affects your entire customer base.
Do you fix it as soon as you know about it, or do you wait for people to start complaining about before looking at it ?

Imagine how disappointing it would be to grow up on this kind of messaging and then smoke a joint

If I said "Sorry I havent created your new Engineers accounts yet, Its a lot of work" I'd get a new one ripped in me,But somehow, Its ok for Eng to say "It's tooooo haaaaaaard" for something that potentially affects out entire user base..?

Eng: Ok, The reason why customer cant load webpage is they’re renewed their cert using the new R46 certs. We dont have that in our bundle yet.
Me: R46 was released 13 months ago…
Eng: *defensively* Its a lot of work updating that!

FFS

For years, people have been telling me I'm 'about as subtle as a halfbrick in a sock', but I've come to realise NO ONE is subtle and that if you truly want to get the message across, being blunt is far more effective.

I have an ‘onboarding’ to do in a little under an hour and I’m tempted to start it with ‘Welcome! run. Run Now and retain what little sanity you have left’

Me: Why the F- *deep breath* I’m just wondering why it wasn’t considered or checked or even tested before release - This is not a good look.

*silence*

Fucking Hell.

Me: Hey Eng? Our Modify Install function doesnt actually allow you to add remove components?
Eng: Yeah, Thats deliberate, Out installer bypasses all that.
Me: … Then why are we even including it? This is deliberately misleading.
Eng: We can remove it if you want.

Fuck You Claude.
You left out Pluto.
I knew I hated you.

One, you lock the target
Two, you bait the line
Three, you slowly spread the net

I decided to do something productive with my day and made a skeleton key.

Fuck - Am I being deliberately difficult ?
I don't know any more - I can't tell what I'm 'allowed' to get upset over and what I'm 'over reacting' to.

I hate being sober.
