That sucks. Sorry.

It's pretty weird. Nearest I can fathom is that I accidentally deleted it and then emptied my Recycle Bin without looking. I almost always check before I empty, but I've been slack lately because I've been barraged with files that I only need for a day or so. Hopefully I didn't lose anything critical but I'll only know when I have a problem to solve and go to look for something I no longer have.
Other than that job-threatening catastrophe, my day has been mellow so far. The plumber cleared the sink and I've been watching my mom go about her daily routine, which is reading, watching tv, exercising and a lot of naps.

One thing about my job since the pandemic is that all my work is on the web. And anything on the web is a house of cards, a lesson in impermanence. One click or glitch and it all disappears.
KFM has been a nightmare. We were in the process of developing a brand new site where we could place all of our back issues and instructional DVDs (being converted to digital streams) behind a subscription paywall. Our previous site was a custom build and it's been shaky lately - I've been alerting our part-time IT to issues since June of last year. Turns out some of those issues were symptoms of much deeper problems and the entire site collapsed right when we were going live with our tournament and Year of the Snake stuff (our horoscopes are very popular every year). It's all backed up (I'm told) but we aren't going to invest in restoring the site only to pull it down when the new updated site goes live. So we're dead for now. It's like purgatory.
YMAA suffered a massive DDoS cyber-attack from Brazilian hackers over the weekend. We had to do all sorts of repairs and we've just discovered that some of them now block our ability to update the site. So now I must go through all my pre-programmed spams and redo them. I hate redoing stuff.

Sometimes I’m juggling too many axes, ya know?
I got the Immortal Studios event next week - there’s a What’s App discussion with all the developers. It’s pinging like every 15 mins right now.
I got TCEC the following weekend. Just got a call from G2 who dumped a shit-ton of stuff that everyone’s been too scattered to sort. Once again, I am tasked to organize it all into something vaguely coherent that no one will bother to read.
I got CR for JM on Memorial Day weekend. Gotta get the list sorted.
I got issues with my YMAA Mac again, rebooted it like a dozen times already, plus buffer (my social media spam program) has had issues this morning.
I need cheese.

Or brown bread with Kerry Gold.

Not until July
There’s medication for premature retrogaculation, I’m sure.
I’ve taken on too much. Between cleaning up after TCEC and preppin for Cali Roots, Den is tapping me to cover two Memorial Day rush films…
RE: My job sucks more than yours - Drunk Monk - 05-22-2025
Ok now. It’s meeting time. Let’s get this done.
Reggae show is going into a Cali Roots jam…
RE: My job sucks more than yours - Drunk Monk - 05-22-2025
telemeetings are a new level of hell.
watching coworkers talk over each other is just painful...
for the last half hour, they've been discussing topics that are 'not for Gene & Barbara'... we are now past the time this meeting was supposed to conclude. feckn Babylon. X-(

"This could have been an email"
RE: My job sucks more than yours - Drunk Monk - 05-23-2025
Bossmang still has yet to flip the website or respond to my emails.
Not going to stress it. Gonna send one more email then let it go.
RE: My job sucks more than yours - Drunk Monk - 06-09-2025
My Monday morning telemeet with the bossmang is 2 hours. I usually last about an hour and a half until I must constrain my eyerolls, what with lunch pending. But today we were making good progress on a project in development when we noticed our website was super sluggish. Closer examination showed a massive spike in people looking at the site - double the usual number, all from Brazil. Feckn Brazilians with their waxes and jiujitsu. This isn't the first time - we already have some firewalls against them Brazilians.
But actually it was a break at the hour and a half point. So maybe this should've been posted in the my job is not so bad thread.
Onward Monday, onward...
