Woke up with super wood. Was shoving it between my wife's butt cheeks and then she rolled over some so I went in deeper. And deeper. Pulled out to put a jimmy on but then had an accidental on the outside wife said she was "almost there" so guess that sucks for her

Anyway, feeling awake now

[Smucky]

team lead messaged me at 7:15am asking if I could attend the 8:30 meeting. Great place

Wife woke up last night with the sheets wet under her butt. A bunch of weird vagina discharge. Hoping it is not pregnancy from this

That's what the cats are for, too chase the rabbits away.

[Smucky]

The only cars around here are the ones I haven't shot, which are my grandma's. They stalk the rabbits, but are way too fat to catch them.

Don't shoot kitties, god will punish you badly. The British did that and god gave them the black death.

Please don't shoot kitties.

I think it was justified. I moved onto some property next to my grandparents like 7 years ago. My grandpa never liked cats around the house, but in his old age, I think he relaxed a bit. There were about 4 "yard cats" and about 6 other strays that would hang around randomly.

And then a couple of them had kittens, so now there where 20+ cats around here. Fleas became a huge problem. Just walking through their yard or mowing the grass meant you'd get covered in fleas and cat crap. In a fit of rage I went to Academy and bought a Marlin .22 rifle and subsonic rounds with the goal of blasting everything at night. However night shooting with regular sights proved to be not easy. I managed to pop a couple though and the kittens and strays seems to get the point and most disappeared never to be seen again.

So then we were back down to less than 10 cats hanging around the yard. I found there was only one manufacturer of laser sights for the rifle and that model was actually discontinued, but I found one used on ebay. So then I could actually shoot properly at night. Long story short, over two years I think I shot about 35 cats. I kind of lost count but I haven't really had to shoot any in about 2 years now. You can walk around without getting cat crap all over your shoes and the fleas have mostly disappeared. There are rabbits everywhere here now since there are no cats to eat the babies. It is nice to watch them. Unfortunately I've had to reduce their population a bit too since they were desecrating our garden quite heavily

We should force Australia to make rabbits a protected animal that aren't allowed to be killed or relocated.

I think I found a job that I'm qualified for.

New job is just lol
I should be happy at the pay rate and the bureaucracy that will allow me to screw off. But looking at how the team operates honestly makes me feel dirty.

I never felt dirty at FriendFinder. All the pron, cam whoring, ad revenue nastiness, etc. Not to say it didn't bother me, but there was something touching knowing you were helping get money to women in 3rd world countries. It was sad to see accounts get reprimanded because the cam girl didn't follow the rules exact. Like apparently you can't stop in the middle your cam show to do your laundry

It was touching moments like this that reminded me I was working with real people and making a real difference. I had purpose.

But now, at the new "bank job", I have a non-technical manager that has one direct report which is my team lead. Who is also non technical but apparently he taught C++ in a college class in the early 90's and then was contractor doing serviceNow and SAP admin crap. Team lead has two direct reports (three now with me). Then there is the team in India which I still don't know what they do.

But the manager's claim to fame is filling our day with meetings. As it stands now, 8am every single day is the "team turnover" meeting that always goes at least an hour. This is so the India team can turnover what ever they did. Which is usually nothing, they just talk about the emails they got and any new tickets that were created. Then Tuesdays and Thursdays, there is some kind of "knowledge transfer" meeting from 9:30-11. This is for the american team (again, two developers and a team lead) to share their knowledge. Usually it is an hour or so of yammering on about new emails and/or tickets created. And then every single day there is the 4pm american team "stand up" which usually last an hour. Almost nothing technical has been talked about in this one, it is usually the team lead yammering on about random non work related stuff. Sometimes no body even shows up, weird. And then on Fridays, there is the team wide stand up from 9:30 - 11. This is one the manager leads and attends and the India team also attends. She basically shares her excel spreadsheet which has all the "project" work on it. Best I can tell most everything is colored red and had due dates of Oct and Nov. We sort of go in a circle and each person speaks about where they are at on their "project". There are about 4 or 5 indian women and 4 or 5 indian men. The women seem alright and I can mostly understand them. Most of the men don't respond when the manager asks them their project status but she then makes an excuse for them like "it is late over there, maybe they are on a noisy bus and don't want to unmute" Like their silence is them being considerate or something. The few men that do respond have horrible audio and/or the mic is shoved up their ass and into their throat.

Now I keep mentioning "project work" because apparently the other part of the job is "support" rotation. One lucky soul (again only two people on the american team) gets to spend the entire week "working support". I am not sure what this is yet. It seems the entire team manages a pile of old cgi web pages that do stuff on mainframes and/or monitor mainframe job statuses. When you "work support", the manager doesn't expect you to do "project work" and instead I guess wants you to stare at these job process web pages. Oh and that includes checking your email every three hours on Saturday and Sunday too Apparently when issues do pop up and other managers call my manager to gripe, my manager being able to say "we are already aware and working on it" makes our team look really good. I guess being really proactive is what helps you climb the corporate latter here, not doing feature work... So everything is optimized around that.

Good software should fix itself or just send me an email if something is wrong though... And this is why I feel so dirty.

I thought that was a photoshop. But I see now that it is real. Like what

Kind of a gay day today. Couple of my main goats are sick and stuff. Spent most the day trying to figure that out. For the last week they'd been having all kinds of discharge coming out of their eyes but I thought it would clear up but it kept getting worse. And now the main alpha Queen couldn't even open her eyes cuz they were encrusted closed. So I had to go out hunting down some eye ointment. I also realizde that antibiotics can't be sold in supply stores anymore. You have to go to the vet. Apparently the law changed a few months ago. So now I'm going to have to build a relationship with a local veterinarian which means probably more money. But anyway I had some old antibiotics left. Got the two goats shot up with that. And got the eye goop in. And they seem to be doing a lot better. They are the older ones about 10 years old and I also did a fecal egg test and they are both overrun with worms and parasites. So that is probably what led to their initial demise. Either way, it kind of sucks. Especially since it's been raining for the last few days and it's cold and there's mud and gunk everywhere. Really nasty to go outside.
