 I decided to do something in the morning.

And the system did not let me in. Asked on support channel - a bot told me to go to this page and file a ticket. The page requires login. The bot also told me that I can call a number. I call the number, a bot there told me to go to this page and file a ticket. Ok, ok, I got it. It's night in America.

What could I do? Almost nothing.

Later on (after French class) I tried again: no way. Called that number. We spent about half an hour on the call. Turned out my password has expired. Why didn't they just send me an email. At least a warning email. Anyway, so we went to a "password reset" page, and it asked me about my favorite pet name, my first street, my worst food. And it did not like my answers. So eventually I shared my screen with Tristan (the support guy), and we got it. Could be more humane, right?

Next I went ahead with datadog logs. Meaning, I did send proper curl requests. Getting "Forbidden". So by the end of the day I wrote John,
and... and nothing.

There's also another stupid thing - the policy under which a bot decides to upgrade to a "better sbt", and changes the version - but tests fail, build fails, etc. I've been fucking with it for about a week. Marc wrote to me that we need to take into account the changes Typelevel people (that is, assholes) made. Except that they are not available yet. And when I made some obscure changes that Marc suggested, more failures started coming up.

Then I saw another message from the same bot - another "let's upgrade to Scala 2.13.12", with failing tests and builds. The same failures. This time the "review" was assigned to me and Marc. So I wrote to Marc, and, basically, closed my work computer for the day.

By the way, this week no scrum. I don't know what is it, are we celebrating something? Bank holiday week, or?

Well, at least my hours are filed.

Or maybe we are not even supposed to work this week, since there are three "sprint planning days". One of the days falls on Wednesday, the day I fly. So I labeled it as "can't participate". A couple of hours later that meeting was canceled.

I love this company, but it's a total enigma to me.
