Summer seems over. Back to another 10 months of cold, wet misery :(

 

Shouldn't this post be in the "AWW YEAH" thread?

My rant of the day: 

1. Broke my Red Hat Satellite server with a major release version upgrade attempt, worked with support and ran out of time to finish troubleshooting before our last maintenance window. Team agreed it was probably better just to restore from backup, resync packages, update content views and call it done. 

2. Our backup and recovery team not only had us in the wrong backup policy, but also had our only backups going to AWS S3. It took over 9 hours to pull down.

3. After backup and recovery team restored it on their vmware cluster, they attempted to migrate it. After an hour and a half the migration was only at 31% complete. I had to cancel the maintenance window and get an earful by upper management about it. By this point it was midnight and told them just call me when the restore migration is complete and I can log into my shit. 

4. After all that time, it failed at 90% after 7AM. They told me they would restore and migrate it a different way. 

5. About noon they tell me the server is back up. I log in, try to do the thing, server still fucked up. They ask me if I want to try the restore again and I tell them to fuck off and let me handle it. 3 days later, I have it fixed.

6. The kicker... talking to someone who double-checked the backup team's work, they not only downloaded the VM snapshot from the wrong date from AWS S3,  but they also used the most recent backup to restore, not the date we requested.

Oddly, this is familiar to you... as if from an old dream.

I got sick with the flu on the weekend. Ended up sleeping for about 16 hours and didn't eat much. It wasn't that I wasn't hungry - I was actually very hungry - but that merely getting up to eat food was way too exhausting. I finally got enough energy to eat a banana and some grapes, and I feel a bit better now.

 

Why do people think it is OK to go to work with this?

 

(not that anyone where I worked did, but this thing basically utterly wrecked me for three whole days)

I just fasted and made shakes when I gained some strength after a day of sleeping.

 

Shake:

- Spirulina

- Moringa

- Wheatgrass

- Kale

- Aloe Vera bits

- Chia seed

- Mixed fruits

- Oatmeal

- Some Keto meal powder

 

I was good after 2 days of these shakes and about 4 days of fasting. Had only sniffles at the end.

 

As for work? Gotta make ends meet...
