Day 520

As a general rule of thumb, I may partake in the age-old tradition of bitching about office process changes with my co-workers, but I will always attempt to be chill about said changes. Because frankly… At the end of the day, there’s nothing you can do when a change comes down from on high.

The act of bitching is really stress relief. Besides that, I understand why we do the changes that we do. I might not agree with the execution of that change, but 99% of the time, I understand why.

This is why it really stuck out to me, as I reached the end of my day (and half way through the week) to realize I was profoundly angry with the new database. Angry, because I realized, I had gotten competent at doing the task, but was not reaching old database levels of speed. 

Because the database added ten fucking new things I had to click to complete said task.

I was incensed when I realized this, especially since I hadn’t really managed to complete a single full list of tasks. Sure, I did some of those tasks. I managed to call three different programs, but I never managed to complete the call list for any of those programs. At the time I realized how angry I was getting, I was simply closing files (aka discharging), and it was taking me ten minutes.

Eventually, I had to rethink how I was doing things. I couldn’t afford to write a nice letter to a doctor telling them why their client was being discharged, a simple fax cover sheet saying, they got discharged, here is why that was all I could afford. I had to revamp what the rest of my week is going to look like.

I am also probably going to bitch at management, there’s nothing they can do, but I do want either extra time off or be paid extra at this point.

coworkers asked for help and were showing me the details of a bug they found and I immediately locked eyes with the page like a dog catching the scent of its nemesis. I can name the exact bitch causing problems here and I'm sick of this freak coming into my yard.

Ok but like give Sam Carter a month vacation from everything and she’d crack the Destiny problem in the first two weeks and then spend the next two weeks having sex with her husband at the cabin.

it's definitely not serious but every time I see that screenshot of the old "I can tell when a customer is american when they put their state and not country in my change of address form" post I can't help but think about how OP is talking about a change in address and not a registering of address form

like they already have the country. the customer is telling them the part that changed. which is, presumably, not their country

hey bestie are you using a non-standard, insecure internet form to store people's living addresses as raw strings because that's what it sounds like

ppl defending ai art by completely ignoring the genuine major issues that people have with it and pretending like ppl r just mad because they're Art Elitists and think that art should only be made through Suffering instead of being easy are some of the most embarrassing ppl tumblr has been recommending to me lately

I wanna make more sense of Petscop just from like. my brain and not looking things up and trying to see what I can form. But I do think it's a really obtuse reading of it to assert that Paul and Care and "Pall" are not the same person. But I'm trying to entertain the thought just to look at it from another angle

I'm having to use Google Scholar for an assignment and my gosh it is such a PAIN to try and narrow down results or refine searches.

Don't get me wrong it's a good tool (I normally use it to see if I can find full text for something not in a library database, or for just a cursory search for a topic I'm not diving into), but it seems so annoying to refine results. I've known some people who used it as their primary research tool for grad school instead of ever opening a library database and I'm getting a headache just thinking about it.

Okay thinking...

i wanted to try out using SQL for managing my work data because Python is a real bitch about putting different data types into one table most of the time, but so far it is so frustrating i'm close to tearing every object around me to shreds. every step of the way, i run into some new problems. and stackexchange is mostly unhelpful because they just go "it's simple just execute these 20 commands" WHERE. BITCH WHERE. cmd doesn't know what "mysql" is. mysql command line doesn't have "global" defined WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TELL MEEEEEEEEE I'M SHTUPID
