Coding and Sleeping

Sorry, Sophia. I had a long day yesterday as well, working past 7 pm as we were changing out our authentication system in production. Right before the push, I found out one of the backend systems I was shepherding through had just had new code pushed to it by mistake. Ugh, mistakes happen, but why did someone have to make that particular mistake at that particular time? Overall, it wasn't too bad though.

It's amazing how people can take something simple like git and come up with elaborate ways to make it complicated and error-prone.

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

Many happy returns of the day, Toddson!

Sorry for the long days, my friends. Glad you are happy to get he award, Sophia! I know you do and have done a lot for your workplace

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, yeah. I was afraid to click the link, tbh

I did go back and forth about if I should say it wasn't an ita-style link itself!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

So much stuff happening. Much love and hugs and cookies to those who want them, and much flinging of confetti for those who are in the mood.

Also, happy birthday Toddson!

Gud, it's nice to see you.

Not much new in this corner of SF. Which I'm okay with.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I did go back and forth about if I should say it wasn't an ita-style link itself!

The proper tribute is to have people waver over the mouse, unsure whether to click.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was exactly what I figured, in the end.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Thank you for the good wishes. I think I now officially qualify as OLD.

Congratulations, Toddson! That's an excellent accomplishment

IJWTS my Fitbit says that today I have a Readiness of 1 out of (I think) 100 and I feel very seen

Nice to see you, juliana!

Happy Birthday, Toddson!
