I am having a moment of "Welp, setting my entire product team on fire" , thanks to my raising questions about what the actual customer workflows should be, and no one actually having answers. I think I'm the only person working with the front-end UX, and I'm starting to freak out about it.

I'm going to take the fact that this sends me into a mild panic attack as proof that I need to GTFO of the tech industry. I don't want to do this anymore.

Gotta admit, if I could make this sort of money & benefits outside of the industry, I'd seriously think about leaving.

I'm moving past mild panic and into nigh-incandescent "REALLY? REALLY?!"

For some reason management keeps vetoing my idea of raising tech support morale by having a monthly lottery where the winner can go slap a developer upside the head.

I've reached the point where I'd rather get free and then panic about money instead.

I can't really get behind that idea.

Everybody in my department loves it.

Change it to architects, and I'd be super for that.

I'm in. Let's add in PMs too.

I am feeling pretty smug. In the past 24 hours, I made it through the MRI (with a Xanax, a larger machine, and a couple of mantras including "Fuck Trump"), got confirmation that my brain is normal, and called to deal with my FSA about lingering confusion from surgery charges. I am the best adult.

Dana, I admire your adulting. That is some Grade A work right there. I managed not to puke on my dentist yesterday, so I've got that going for me, which is nice. It was past time for my 6 month cleaning and I wanted to spend some remaining FSA money on a night guard. My sister made me realize I might have some TMJ going on.
