 Well, there's work waiting for me, right?

So I opened my work computer, looked up... btw, I'm on pagerduty today. But nothing happened during the whole day. We only had meetings.
Should I talk about how we guessed the number of weeks this or that stuff should take? One case was about producing a publicly-visible document describing Consumers endpoints. Nick gave it 1 week, I gave 5, Esteban gave 5. Well, I know what it is, releasing information to the public. Eventually we agreed on 3 weeks. As if it matters.

There was also a meeting when, strangely, they looked into that service that dumps a stack trace of the same exception, happening once an hour. Somehow They decided that a) the latest code was not deployed (I did, Tuesday), and that the errors happen in canary server only.

So eventually I had to write a clarification on slack.

Oh, and in the morning I saw a slack message from some Mary, who had scheduled my talk for Wednesday, 2pm, and asked me how come I did not even join that meeting. What meeting? It turned out that there's a slack channel, of which I never heard. So I joined, I saw that yes, it was for Wednesday, 2pm. And Mary created that meeting Tuesday about 7pm. I believe she never organized any events in her life before.

So I wrote to her that I'm ready to give a talk at another time, but not next Wednesday, because, well, I'll be AFK (I'll be flying from CLT to TLS).

Never heard from her ever since.

What else did I do? Other meetings. 1-1 with Mike, when we talked about France, Italy, about Spanish programmers from 37signals that slapped together this mysterious piece of code, with IO being the only available monad (maybe not such a bad idea, eh?), etc. With weird streams connections (when the author presented it something like 10 years ago at Scala By The Bay, it did look beautiful). Also, I told Mike that yesterday I had a heart surgery. He kind of feels relieved that these things got so easy to have these days.

Well, that's it for today. Did I do anything useful? I was thinking about updating docs... did I tell you that I have no open cases in Jira? :)

Whatever.
