Belated: for Tuesday, March 10th
Jun. 1st, 2015 11:28 pmAlso from Monday March 9th:
Beginning of the user research session:
Researcher: "Don't worry about anything you say, I'm not one of the developers…"
Azz: "So you have no ego in this, got it."
End of the user research session:
Researcher: "So is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Azz: "I would like to talk to the developers responsible for the [reprehensible] feature and injure their ego."
Tuesday March 10th:
At some point over the weekend I had remembered to get the 9v battery, which went a long way to resolving the CHIRP. CHIRP. CHIRP. issue.
I think this was the lunch where I described to some gleefully giggling guys at the table exactly how I accidentally social engineered an online payment service one time. (It involved a change in procedures that wasn't fully documented yet, a confirmation code, and me bursting into tears because I was so tired and stressed.)
My manager has been having various hell communicating with the new contractor management company. Management upstairs of her had approved a raise for me, but in order to make that happen, she had to talk to people. The people were variously difficult to impossible to actually get in touch with.
The amount of hard work and skill that I put into making the thing on Monday work has been noted.
Purple had a HOA meeting and therefore left earlier than usual in order to attend. I zoomed out somewhat after that, to have dinner and hang out with my aunt.
Sharkface is still licky but much more polite about it.
On my excursion to the party store, I'd purchased a bicycle bell. I installed it on my party cane, as if you are fabulous enough to be carrying that cane around, it's a little below your dignity to yell "Hey! Get your ass outta my way!" at the butts of people who are standing smack in your chariot's path. Now I can just ding the bell at people if there's that kind of problem.
