pay the who?

i'm shouting at my boss over non-problems, and i don't know who started it.

i tried to snooze my alarm this morning and then my boss called, panicked, because all our systems were down. i cannot express how glad i am that we've finally separated the central system that goes down from the external endpoints.

three or four hours of headache, occassional nagging reminders from the boss that it's urgent, and eventually rediscovering that azure is simply a bitch sometimes and doesn't play well. i'm sick of this. i've just been forced to perform one of many of a long list of TODO rewrites under the gun because we never designed the system properly and never get a chance to clean up before more functionality is demanded. it's stupid and counter-productive.

also, i was supposed to be working on the festival organization before going to work. that's not really happening now. this all sucks.

---the farewell last night was alright - there was a minimum of vegan food, and at least some of the conversation was interesting (when we got to gaming). i was exhausted by the time i said goodbye, and fortunately the bussing was quick and comfortable.

after getting a little work done, pg and i watched 21 jump street - it's amusing, at least - and then crashed. it was such a nice day!
