there are good days and bad days. yesterday was a ridiculously GOOD day: email was down for anyone using microsoft, which is pretty much all businesses, AROUND THE WORLD. and what made this so great was there was literally nothing we could. it was what it was. my boss was trying to be the hero, suggesting this or that and i proudly said, ‘it’s irrelevant, no matter what we do, everything would point back to microsoft, which is currently fuxor’d”

it was such a quiet day, found a thing that would help another department (and in reality would help me in the long run because i’m always fixing that department’s mistake-sssh dont tell anyone) and focused my day on setting that feature up.

all the while, in a common group chat we have for us engineers, we’re just posting memes left and right about how this was revenge by a bunch of MS engineers that recently got laid off, how some idiot probably asked CoPilot (MS’s AI) to “optimize my email” and the fucking thing spawned across the world wreaking havoc.

a truly beautiful day.
