Shitty Day
Just as I was going to bed last night, my on-call work cell phone went off. I won’t bore you with the details, but I didn’t get to sleep until a little before 1 AM this morning. I didn’t actually get to sleep until sometime after 1:30 because I couldn’t get my brain to stop thinking about work.
The cell phone went off again this morning shortly after 7:00 AM. A code push that I had done yesterday fixed some problems, but created one other one. Dammit. I was in no mood to lose an hour’s sleep working before it was time to leave the house at 8:00 AM, so I rolled back over and went to sleep after telling the person on the phone that I would fix it as soon as I got into the office.
I get into the office to discover that the problems that I was told were going to be taken care of were still not fixed. Double-Dammit. I finally got in touch with the right person to get things taken care of. He said that they are fixed, but I have yet to see evidence of it. I’m stuck here at the keyboard checking for incoming files that are not appearing, and there’s nothing that I can do but sit and wait.
There is another problem that we currently have, and I’ve tracked it down as far as I can. I’ve emailed the appropriate people to get things resolved, but I’m still waiting for a response.
What a way to start a long day after a really short night. If this continues, I’m going to drink myself stupid tonight… which probably isn’t a good idea since I’m on call.
Time to head back to the grind.
PS: I fixed my code problem that created issues for my co-workers that I did yesterday. It’s not pretty, but it works.
