There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am supposed to run 4 miles. It is currently 87 degrees Fahrenheit. I do not know how to resolve this.

The sun doesn't set until after 8, that's practically time to go to sleep!

ETA: I guess going to the gym and using a treadmill is the least bad option.

Go for a four mile drive with Connie.

I'm sure there's going to be something I'll need to go pick up.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Re car hunting:

Now I want something fancy but not crazy.

Be it noted that our resident 7-year-old has proclaimed her grandfather's vintage Barracuda "REALLY FANCY" because it has a special handle you roll around in a circle to make the windows go up and down. Swanky!

It's nice to know I have a really fancy truck.

Today was such a day. Ghost in the machine was the thing I asked "hey guys, remember this issue? Is that what is going on here? Can someone check, I don't have the permissions to run that command?"

ON THURSDAY.

And yet they also found all sorts of other issues they attributed to our problems that clearly HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 'EM. And I just can't even. Wasted 3 days and am suddenly pressured to finish up THREE DAYS worth of acceptance testing in 45 minutes.

Don't look at me if I missed something else. That's what the test team is for.

(And I can go on and staffing conditions and how we really shouldn't be rushing these kinds of builds when half the dev and test team disappear after having to do a rapid rollback and FUCK ALL Y'ALL FOR NOT LISTENING TO ME.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I will happily participate in outfit consulation, msbelle, although my family is popping right now -- side effect of having been very well behaved at the dentist -- so might not reply right away.
