One of the small pleasures in life is blissful sleep. The kind that starts out with the thought “oh, I’ll just lie down on the bed for a minute” and falling into a deep zombie like state within 30 seconds. Just before falling asleep, in half consciousness, you realize that you’re falling asleep and that it is good. This kind of joy comes with long hard outages.
Today, we solved the TSI problem (the one which I created by bogging down the system with “400 pids”, and no I don’t know UNIX, otherwise I wouldn’t have broken the TSI to begin with).
I have a building mass of frustration and I don’t know where it comes from or how to get rid of it. For example, there was a long line around quitting time for the rad monitors and I waited for over 10 minutes just to have someone cut in front of me right before I leave. I felt like screaming. Screaming at him to get back in line and ask him if he cuts in front of me because I was the only girl standing in line. It’s ridiculous because I probably had over a dozen people opening doors for me today, yet I get angry because one guy wanted to go home more badly than I did.
Anyway, just random thoughts for today.
