Two days running, awake at 5:30 AM. Why? Fuck if I know.

Yesterday, I hit a WALL about 15 minutes before quitting time and damn it was not pretty. Sorry company, you didn’t shit out of me that last bit of the day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And the first week officially in my promoted position, no less, LOL.

But, I got paid today, and tomorrow is a half day, so I’ve got that going for me.

We’re in “cleanup all the bugs” phase for our next big release at work and once again, my team lead is being faaaaaaar too optimistic in how long these things will take and how much we can combine in testing. We went through the same garbage this time last year and every time I spoke up, I got a shrug and a “Well….” in response – so I’m not even gonna worry myself with it this time around.

It will take as long as it takes to do it right, and I’m not gonna stress myself out over it and I’m not gonna kill myself to get things done in an unreasonably short time.

2023 is gonna be the year of my job NOT killing me.

And on that note, time to go gently grind some gears for capitalism.

You have a great day!
