Been a busy few weeks for me.
Product launch at work so had to rush a lot of things in, followed by more fixes. A production release blew up a few days ago and had to be rolled back, ended up going out again... at 5am. Originally scheduled a call to talk to my boss to see “how’s things” past Friday, but I pushed it out to get the urgent work done first. This call was kinda overdue, it’s almost an “are you giving me a raise” call. I actually got to the point where my coworkers say I should be doing this. Joined on as a junior because of my thin resume, but reality now I’m doing just as much work, if not more, than the more senior folks on my team, I’m pretty much the only guy supporting one important part of my project team.
Meanwhile got a call from another company asking if I was interested, made it to the second round interview this week (running out of excuses to sneak AFK to answer the interviews here...). Job seems to pay a lot more, basically back to my old senior salary, much closer to home (assuming we’re even going to the office), but the down side it’s closer to a production support job than my current one, which mostly serves dev only. But then I’m in a much larger on-call rotation pool.
Car wise, it’s almost switchover time. Solstice developed a weird clunk some weird “plink” that occurs when I get going, or going up a slight incline, or turning, it’s just random and I can’t fully reproduce it. F30's waiting on me putting my winters back on to replace the bent summers and replacing some rubbing wheel bearings. That’s going to cost some dough.
Got a lot to think about.
