Skudd's Grumps

Ugh. Now I'm getting spam claiming to be from Stormy Daniels.

I just had to look at the calendar to figure out what day today is.

My own personal morale is trending right along the same line as my stock investments.

Theo is scraping the Grumps.

I am feeling really overwhelmed for no reason at all.

I just had to use a calculator to figure out how old I am.

I want more beverage, but I'm trying to cut back on soda and I really don't want more coffee and water doesn't sound appealing.

It smells like sewage in the lobby.

Monday morning traffic.

I had to open IBM Notes this morning.

Minding my own business in gridlock traffic. Hadn't moved in minutes. Truck pulls up next to me, passenger flips me the bird, then they drive away.

Being out of the office for a day, then coming back.

When other teams don't understand incremental development and the things that need to be built in certain manners to allow incremental and parallel development to happen.

When people ask you a question then keep talking and don't let you answer.

No Dr. Pepper in the break room. :(

VMWare.

This internal product announcement took me to a wiki page that took me to another wiki page that took me to another wiki page that took me to a portal that asked me to log in that took me to a list page that took me to another internal portal that also asked me to log in. All of these things opened new browser tabs.

I have yet to wake up fully.

WHY ARE PEOPLE JUST STARTING TO WORK AFTER 3PM?!

Being scheduled for meetings all afternoon. Double and triple booked in some cases.

I have an ingrown hair right on the edge of my lip.

It feels like it should be 4:30pm.

Password change day.

What's more fun than a sore back? A grinding shoulder.

My previous Grump about the non-booting VM was because I needed to rebuild the initrd. I only came to that realization after talking with someone about the issue.

Back pain.

This stupid VM won't boot. Grub is trying to mount things by UUID, despite the /etc/fstab using labels.

Here's an example TMI Grump.

Just patched a few major security flaws in the site. Also added support for TMI posts. To post a TMI thing, either public or private, prefix it with "TMI:". For example: TMI: This is something I want to share, but want to give you adequate warning about.

I just spent 3 hours replacing the door boot on our washing machine. I followed the video instructions exactly, got everything put back together, and ran a test cycle. It didn't leak, but there was a powder inside the drum afterwards. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the new boot was rubbing against the drum, which was causing it to wear off, especially in the spin cycle.
