gonna do some feels for today, ig very tired of working a research job at the whims of people who NEED A DEMO by NEXT FUCKING WEDNESDAY AND NO LATER, and then when the day comes around, don't actually _show up for the demo_. or tell me "we need to do this thing for this company, without any extra compensation", and then i spend two weeks hacking up a thing, and the company says "well, actually, we don't need that right now". hnnnngh. tired of experiments that are fragile as fuck, data collection that's falling apart, and most of all i _fucking **loathe**_ AWS. truely do i hate it. look at our fucking shitty code running on lambdas. if those fuckheads had gotten some actual programmers in when they originally devved the app, this would've never been necessary, and we could just be running everything on a single ec2 machine instead of pitching some "serverless rewrite" [rant off] in other.... parts of my life, doing pretty well. my gf moved into an actual ~apartment thing~! very happy for her. and, uhhh, some random new hardware stuff. 2 TiB internal hybrid drive for my laptop. finally set up a GPG keypair and pushed it to my yubikey (lazyweb: can i store multiple keys in each category?). uhhh that's it for now, i guess? have to meet for researchjob stuff *frowns* oh, yes, and i should create a... nondefault theme for my feels, i guess? *update*: i talked to my supervisor and it was really nice and i'm not feeling nearly as bitter or vitriolic anymore!! yay.
