    I’ve been on-call and have a cold. My on-call shift is way better than it used to be (it’s 10:00-18:00 Monday-Friday instead of 10:00-22:00 Monday-Sunday) which is nice I suppose. It’s been rough because I’m just burnt out as fuck and very sleep deprived because sneezing into a CPAP mask is fucking miserable.

    I have a week of PTO coming up at the start of November, and I’m going to spend the entire time out in my shop, turning big pieces of metal into smaller pieces of metal. No computers, no Jira, no fucking bullshit Service Now on-call portal that takes like 70 seconds of loading before it’ll show my list of alerts jesus christ

    Nope, just 40+ hours of turning the knobs on the machines to make the metal chips go wheeee as they fly off into some corner my shop vac hose can’t reach. I’ll listen to some music and some books and end the week with some cool shit that I made.
