Only a somewhat-miserable work week (although I am working tomorrow morning to lead some kind of commercial installation of whatever). I also sold my most in a single week since I think either May of 2017 or maybe October of 2018. In any case, I prefer the company of money.
The weather is trash today and for the foreseeable immediate future so no yardwork or vehicle shenanigans. This beer is a 13.4% barrel-aged Deschutes Porter and I’m already buzzed. Feelin’ cozy

Deschutes is da stuff . I haven’t tried that one but I love their other brews so I’m sure that is not only strong but very tasty. I was sipping on some Makers Mark cask strength on the deck but the wind was a little too much for my candy ass.

You seem happy !
I am drinking some good old Pepsi and lime with a drip of white agricole rhum.
13.4% for a beer seems too much to me, never had an enjoyable high alcohol level one.

This is extremely unusual of me. I have many times self-scheduled to drop by on-site at the time of service to check or even to troubleshoot , but this will be the first one I would actually lead on. The customer is very...
[pauses, looks up thesaurus under “difficult”]
... [closes book] IN ANY CASE, his previous rep wanted nothing to do with this project and I got stuck with it. I very much resent co-workers who pass the buck. I also had a SECOND coworker back out entirely who knew the customer even better than I, and I'm like, "Yep, same old story. Let the shit roll downhill to old Zoidberg."

Thank you. I’m not sure it’s worth what I pay but it does ease the pain.
Or maybe that's the beer

Don't you just love office politics. I hope dealings between the client and yourself aren't too much of a hassle

It’s been far more than a hassle. I’ve been doing this for years and this is definitely in my top — or bottom — twenty jobs, ever . And far from over. While some non-zero amount of it could be client-related, too much of it is related to people who SHOULD be working as a team but may or may not give two fucks about any other human being. And then you rock the boat and told YOU'RE not a team player. Being liked is a better skill in the short term, so why do I even bother.

“so why do I even bother”
