That reminds me. Someone at work needs me to fill out a survey monkey for a meeting. I am out of town so this one will be easy. Nothing to check.

the bus driver decided they were going to take a different route into Minneapolis today, instead of the direct, single offramp exit that puts it directly into downtown. So, we sat in traffic on side streets.
My computer decided it wasn’t going to last the trip in, so the battery promptly died.
someone on another team, who is somehow a senior manger, is seemingly incapable of understanding simple instructions and is under the impression that he, nor anyone else on his team, has anything else to do with getting their purchase orders moving, despite multiple, thorough, detailed emails (most attached to each successive correspondence) stating exactly what they A) have not done and B) need to do to get this shit moving.
I, despite having a huge amount of autonomy and a solid wage, don’t have the corporate seniority to tell him he’s a mouth-breathing oxygen thief who should carry a tree around to offset the theft from deserving people. And despite my fairly junior position at this job, my other job (national guard) I also have a huge amount of autonomy, but also the pay grade to back me telling someone they’re a fucking idiot. That part of my brain is screaming at the rest of it, telling me to stomp this idiot.
Alas, I cannot.
Monday.

Them: “We figured out the reason our code failed. It’s because of (encryption appliance A)
Me: “(Encryption appliance A) has never been on (subset of failed systems), try again.”
Them: “But this spreadsheet says it’s (Encryption appliance A).”
Me: “That appliance isn’t compatible with the OS. Try again.”
Them: “Muh spreadsheet”
Me: (Encryption appliance A) has never touched those systems. It literally cannot into.”
Them: “ Oh ok”
An hour later, a mass email from them: “In root cause analysis, the problem stems from (encryption appliance A)”
