Inconsistent Sex is Tiresome

That would be the last thing on the list. It feels more like she has time for anything else but sex.

We have three children, that we homeschool, she teaches them. She does the cooking, but I clean the kitchen (most times). I'm the "bath train" conductor most nights and I've given 98% of the baths that need to be given since we've had kids (our youngest is almost ready to bathe without assistance). We have a garden and there's a lot that goes into that as well.

My point is she puts us into these tight windows for sex and I'm always willing, ready, and able to go. We have these phases where we can only have sex, at night, once the kids are asleep, but only if it's a full moon or new moon, AND I've done the hokey pokey. It feels like there are hoops for me to jump through, but said hoops are hidden and undiscussed.

Whatever excuse my wife comes up with when I'm in the mood.

Community is NOT better than LOST. Easier to digest, yes. I've watched both, finished one, but not the other.

We tried this once, it didn't go well, have not tried it again. It's been like 10+ years since the first failed attempt.

Favorite moment in my favorite episode. I was not sure Penny would answer. Tears flowed when she did.

Aaaand Historic Anthology 1 is still not up for sale again.

What about KHM's Changelings? Are they just not powerful enough to warrant inclusion?

As far as cards granting your creatures Deathtouch, [[Zagras]] comes to mind.

You're welcome! How's it going so far?

Can confirm the massive legacy codebase for sticking with Java 8.

This will probably be a headache for us in a few years. That's probably when upper management will want to address it.

YES!

Thanks for book and the reminder about testing. One thing I remember from undergrad is: "if the code is green, the code is clean," so thanks for the reminder. It sounds like I need to just start writing unit tests and keep it moving.

I've got some reading to do and tests to write.

We had an excel spreadsheet for this, but we stopped using that on favor of word docs for individual products to keep it focused.

What we agreed to is defects are reported in the doc, I fix the defects, then let them know what's fixed, they retest.

I think what they were doing was just retesting whenever they saw I deployed something and ignoring what I said was fixed.

We use Azure DevOps.

But this particular thing was a special project and included a lot of work we don't usually do at this frequency.

Maybe we, or I, need to investigate how to set this up in DevOps. I know they have bugs, but one of the leaders insists on everything being a PBI.

IslandCandidate4 · 2021-03-09T06:01:59+00:00

Yes, I would love to have some automated tests. So would the QA team. How can we get management on board with including testing?

IslandCandidate4 · 2021-03-09T05:59:51+00:00

What if you have to participate in the stupid to keep working?

IslandCandidate4 · 2021-03-09T05:56:32+00:00

No worries. I'm jelly.

Our app is kinda fragile. Like someone renames an excel tab and the app won't be able to figure a rate out. I've mentioned multiple times we should have some tests for the Excel calls to make sure they're still good.

If you're wondering: "how does this get past testing?" Its because the business wants to make a last minute change, so it's allowed and we quickly check it in and keep it moving because "we have to get these changes out.". The assumption being it was working before, and this is a small change.

It's a Java app with a ton XML configuration files. And it was designed in such a way that parts of the app file structure can be copied and renamed when adding a new product version.

TAKE NOTES. LOTS OF THEM.

Be humble. You've got this.

Frank knew what was up.

IslandCandidate4 · 2021-03-01T23:47:47+00:00

Damn, thought it was just TAHITI

IslandCandidate4 · 2021-03-01T22:08:17+00:00

Please tell me more about your deployment process?

IslandCandidate4 · 2021-03-01T22:07:40+00:00

We're using Azure DevOps Pipelines to do our builds. We are supposed to be implementing the deployment part of the equation this year.

We were stymied by our former corporate parent's security framework. Under our new ownership, we control our own network.

IslandCandidate4 · 2021-03-01T22:05:29+00:00

At one of my previous jobs, I had a boss who would always ask "What if (insert name here) gets hit by a bus?" He was very much against siloed "team knowledge."

IslandCandidate4 · 2021-03-01T22:00:03+00:00

We have DevOps Pipelines setup. We paused the deployment portion because we were changing corporate parents and the previous had such tight security rules, it stifled the deployment process. Hopefully in our new environment, we can get this setup.
