    Also if it’s inaugural chocolate it’s two and a half years old and probably hasn’t been stored well.

    yo mori, I'll trade the awkward gift card shenanigans for people randomly stopping you when you're out in public to talk about stuff they want to talk about

    You should work together to aquire a bunch of giftcards from total strangers on the street.

    If Mori does this intentionally does that make the resultant gift a grift card

    I don't think it's actually inaugural chocolate, I think that was just a joke.

    This is 100% something I would tell your landlord personally.

    I now own my own house, so I don't have to deal with this shit anymore, for which I am profoundly grateful.

    On the other hand I'm stuck paying plumbers extrotionate amounts to show up on Sunday night to fix my plumbing problems, because universally all of my plumbing problems have happened either Sunday night or on a holiday night, for whatever reason :(

    She's stubborn, we've been trying to get a guy out here on her dime all week.

    As the eldest son, i handled much of this for parents.

    I know the difference between quick fix and deep shit

    One of the challenges with being a "product" person in software development is that there are regular, daily opportunities for imposter syndrome to rear its ugly head. Like, I'm not a coder, I'm not a QA engineer, I'm not on the front lines selling the product, I don't spend my entire day managing clients and customers - I don't do all of these things that everyone else does which gives them a reservoir of expertise and working knowledge from which they can draw their confidence. And yet I'm expected to know and represent all of these various viewpoints, set direction, and align all these disparate groups and moving parts, all without any of the corresponding authority.

    Lately I've been running into a situation where everyone has been out of their way to tell me how much they love me and my work and how much they rely on me, and yet in my mind I feel like I'm just talking out of my ass because the solutions architect can say whatever she wants about why it isn't working, and I have to take her word for it because I'm not a solutions architect.

    I would rather pay it myself because I'm not going to skimp out on repair costs since it's my house and I live there instead of someone else.

    That said, people vastly overestimate how much repairs usually cost. I had a backed up sewage line and that only cost me $90 to get fixed in an emergency setting. Another $150 in cleaning materials though for the basement where it came up out of though.

    You were already a cool dude, Bucketman, this makes you cool and handy.

    I put all new works in one of my toilets a couple of weeks ago and this weekend I'm going to try to replace the drain plug in my shower. It's plumbing season!

    Pretty good. I've repaired all the sink taps before. Just no good at soldering or fixing rusty joints.

    Spicy foods maybe?

    Thinking it's time to start some job hunting.

    For a long time our small dept has had little oversight, and we pretty much been trusted with our work. Well, turns out that was a mistake as stuff has been coming up, mistakes and waht not. Now our dept has recently been under a microscope and there's more being discovered. We done restructurings and re training but every day something new gets discovered.

    I'm confident in my work (and my supervisors have told me as much) but eventually I could see them just cleaning house. Either that or they get rid of a lot of people and I get to pick up ton of extra work.

    My boss is out for two days. I asked her if there was anything she wanted me to work on while she was gone, because now that they've moved my big projects to other people, I have like 4-5 hours of work a day to do and then nothing. She said no but thanks for asking, just keep my eyes open and maybe read up on some stuff a bit.

    So yeah I've been reading comics the last few hours.....I mean what else can I do at this point?

    I feel weird doing school stuff at work.

    But the important thing is my boss told me to just do whatever after I'm done with work so I can feel not guilty as long as my work is done.

    It'll be at least Smash Bros. Possibly also Rocket Leauge, Starcraft II for some reasons, LoL, and Overwatch. Those all depend on being able to run them on our computers.
