Skudd's Grumps

FedEx said my package would be here "by end of day". Now it says "pending".

Emily's computer is totally locked up.

Windows 10

I was so concerned about certain things for trash day that I forgot my lunch and breakfast.

Cyber Monday.

Google's Cloud API is not documented well AT ALL. Samsung's SmartTV API isn't either.

Well poo. We forgot to get the roaster pan from Emily's mom. Guess we'll be making an evening trip.

Robodialers. No, I don't think the IRS has any tax evasion lawsuit open against me.

People who don't follow standard escalation procedures.

None of the caffeine-free options in the break room were cold, so I was stuck getting caffeine at 2:30pm.

Anti Grump: I'm not on call after all!

Mandatory security training. And it's past due.

Websites that require using a specific browser.

I just turned off the ability for any non-admins to inject HTML in their Grumps.

My shoulder just did something it likes to do every so often. When I moved it, it made a fart-like sound and felt really tight until the sound stopped. Now it's really sore.

My favorite ink pen is failing.

.doc file extensions. Get with the times, people!

I am on call this week.

That feeling like there's something under my thumb nail, but there actually isn't.

Whenever I take a day off, everything falls apart.

When I take a day off and state that I am going to be unavailable, it is not respected at all.

Chimney guys were supposed to be here at 11. It's 11:45 and they've not shown up yet.

This stupid Digg article is bashing Google Drive and calling them untrustworthy because of a feature that marked legit files as malware. Google quickly reversed that feature roll out and are working on refactoring it. This is how the cloud works, people. You want features, you want them yesterday, but you also want absolute perfection. YOU AREN'T GOING TO GET IT ALL!

I love repeating myself.

I forgot my lunch AND breakfast today. :(

People on conference calls need to learn to not talk over each other.

I can't prepare for meetings and have to wing it every time. Fortunately it generally goes well, but I still feel like I could do better if I have more time.

Monday.

Why does it take 10 days to opt out of something?

Comcast.
