When your PM keeps track, of task state using slack, that’s agile When you spend your work time, keeping tickets in line, that’s agile — product planning meeting includes a line item for “address basic gaps in service offerings” which is encouraging I guess but that one line’s doing an awful lot of lifting. |

My job literally pays me to sit on hold with manufacturers. I've spent so much time on the phone here lately that I can recognize which supplier a coworker is calling based on the hold music coming over their speakerphone. I guess that's normal...? |

I think today's brew day is probably going to go a bit long, unfortunately. Just the recipe. I mashed in hotter than I wanted, but if I'd waited for the temperature to drop, I would have been here all night. |

gently caress! I think I ruined the first beer I brewed. A valve to the glycol jacket was closed and the fermentation temperature went up to 29.5℃. Taking a sample now, it's really rough and has some bad alcohol burn. Fuuuuuuuuuuck! |

I'm running another conference at the end of the month. The person I report to decided it'd be fun to run an ENTIRELY SEPARATE EVENT at the SAME TIME. This is incredibly stressful for me, i have to do a fuckton of development to get all these gears together in a way that isn't confusing to participants. Just finished 4 hours of extra work today, just specifying the software I have to create, and listing out and organizing all the non-coding poo poo I have to do in the next 12 days in order to pull together my staff of 40. I feel a little better now that it's all listed out. I think I can do this... |

The boss is an idiot, but I guess I kind of view his constant stupid meddling as increasing the difficulty setting until my job is a game challenging enough to be worth playing. In this instance, it's actually spurring me to make improvements to stuff that I wouldn't have done before. It's odd, how these ridiculous mandates actually work out to make things better. Someone focusing solely on the demands, without keeping in mind the vision of improving the events, would probably not be able to steer these things into improvements. When they make you set mission and vision statements, they're really trying to get you to focus on what really matters. But ultimately you can't make people care, it has to be something they want to do. My conferences are a weird mix of having a corporate job but also doing customer service and genuinely caring about customers having a good experience and leaving enriched. Some days I feel like I must have a lot in common with middle management at Disney parks. I don't know how any of this could possibly apply to anyone else's situation, but I'm sure glad I have it in mine. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. |

While this job is treating me better than my last two brewery gigs, it is really making me think about opening my own place again. Probably in a few more years. I'm sick of getting directives and instructions from higher-ups with no beer or brewing knowledge to make beers that taste/look like some sort of soft drink or whatever. It's always so scattered. It's fine to make a wide variety of beers, especially in this era, but if you just run around chasing trends and random flights of fancy, your core product is going to suffer. I'm going to try and meet with the big boss again on Monday and try to lay out the importance of setting and sticking to a production schedule and that if there's any special beer they want made I'm going to need at least 2 months notice, ideally 3-4. I think they'll be better than that other place I was with the insane owner, but I'm already getting instructions to brew some beer ASAP because a higher-up really wants it made. |

Okay. Meeting today went pretty well. They seem understand the importance of a production schedule and I gave them a quick rundown of how to schedule out beers so that you can crop and reuse yeast (light to dark, less to more hoppy, laser to higher alcohol, and adding fruit means that yeast is done), and if they didn't totally understand, they're at least willing to listen. They just want this one beer done ASAP for some company we have some kind of agreement with. The bad news, they want a beer that tastes like this Osaka smoothie kind of thing. So I'm going to make this horrible kettle soured abomination with lactose, peach and apple, and with a bunch of late addition hops as well as dry hop during fermentation. They wanted to add banana, but I'm going to use half hefeweissen yeast for banana character and half NEIPA. It is a Frankenstein's monster of almost every trend in brewing I hate, but... whatever. |

(No poo poo!) This password policy has been shown to actually make security worse! Current NIST guidelines (800-63B) are to have users set one good password and keep it until it has been compromised. If your IT people refuse to implement current best practice, here is a strategy you can use! Pick a good pass phrase, with four words. "Shocking nonsense" is a good guideline for something you'll remember. An example is "mullosks peck my galloping genitals", complete with spaces, if that's allowed. If they require mixed case and punctuation, add "A1!" to the end. Then, when you're required to make a new password, add one to the number. This should be enough to get you past most stupid password changing schemes, with a strong password that's easy for you to remember and hard for computers to guess! Let me know how it goes! |

I'm here crankin' out the recipes (I don't actually really uderstand water chemistry) So far I've made recipes for: that awful fruit sour with lactose, an American pale ale, a really basic saison, and a biere de Noel, as well as tweaked my old Belgian dark strong recipe. Thinking I'll look at my old Belgian pale and see if that needs updating, then probably do the same with the biere de garde and biere de Mars, then maybe make a Belgian golden strong? I think it's a good base for fruit beers. I dunno. Should probably make a west coast IPA and a NEIPA recipe at some point.
