Again a fucked up day at work, deadline coming up on Thursday and seeing that my engineers cannot for the life of them write a fucking coherent text in English, not even using LLMs, and they do not know how to use word or excel either.
So I was pretty wound up right after work. Teaching yoga helped me calm down a bitt.
But I am travelling tomorrow, and that is not helping :(
Sigh
A year and a half into this project, and these famous and renowned architects still cannot fucking design continous technical shafts.
So the briefing room will have some auditory and olfactory amenities in the form of a fecal waterfall.
Refusing meetings because people can't bother looking at my agenda to see whether i am free at that time.
It's all ages in this company that don't know outlook allows you to see other people's agendas and chose a time that fits everyone.
Not a great way to start my day.
Late because alarm fail/overslept (only 10 mins late, phew!) then I've put a ramp down, passenger is on & as I'm about to pull the ramp up some a*hole (sorry, no other term is appropriate) steps to my side, over the ramp & on the train.
If my fingers had been under that... 😵
I get it's a small thing. He got on, nothing bad happened, no foul...
He couldn't wait two secs while I pulled the ramp up?
I swear it's the small things. Small antisocial, dick moves... It just pisses me off 🤬
In today's kindergarten, I mean, engineering office, adventures, we play broken telephone!
Or rather, the one where I give information, (male) colleague does not look at it, so goes ask another (male) colleague. Who gives him the same information. And then colleague 1 tells colleague 2 that it is OK, but leaves me fucking hanging with no answer.

Project manager or babysitter.
At least with the second I would actually get to play with construction (blocks).
Once more babysitting senior engineers at my "9 to 5" is draining me. They take absolutely no pride in their work & they assume I will work 16h/day to cover their asses.
Luckily my side gig of teaching yoga fills my cup and gives me more fulfilling in an hour than a week of paying bills work.
Go enjoy today's short practice jamming sun salutations: https://youtu.be/-TlgW4FebN4

Murphy's law in action:
I ordered a new work laptop on Monday. No shipping information for three days.
I arrive to the office this morning to see it will delivered at home (as I asked, since I work from home 4 days/week) today. The one day I work from the office (not even the closest one), and have client meetings.

Why, yes, I can read 160 pages by tomorrow to make sure your automatic translation is correct, why the fuck do you ask?
(because text doesn't reflect the sarcasm properly, read that in the most sarcastic tone you can, and then dial up to at least 20x that)
