First, my pr is still waiting for a review.
Second, Bill was said to be not in our team anymore, but he denies it.
Third, at our "standup", everybody was wearing an avatar - a kitty, a puppy, a robot, but I was just myself.
And somebody said: "Vlad is already a personality" - well, ok, good to know.
Then, at the standup, Mike asked, what about that jira case 684, can we deploy it? It was merged to master (and deployed to staging) 2 weeks ago. I said: "you asked me to ask Brad if he does not mind if we deployed; and Brad never answered" (that's a relatively new story for me, I observe that less than a half of my messages get answered, at work and IRL). Mike said "really, I said that?". Etc. So, maybe we deploy it? And then Devon interfered, and said that we can't deploy it, because we have to use the new library regarding errors (the one that enables localization); and I said - well, except that the functionality we need is not there yet; and Devon said "it is now"; and I said ok, and they created a Jira case for that update.
After the meeting I checked. No, the classes with messages are still not being generated. I mean, they are, but not with the functionality we were asked to use. So I asked those "library guys", what about this stuff. And there's silence.
In other news, Sean called me, and he used all the French he knew (his father is French), and then told me that the company will keep me for another year.
This will make my life easy, and I'll get another year's salary. (I don't spend that salary, we live on my pension, that's enough for us.)
Then some company bots told me to upgrade the MacOS, which basically was the end of the day for me, was not it.
I don't love my work, but I enjoy it. And now I just won't have time for it, since I have to watch the movie.
