cephf sounds like it has a superfluous f sound for no other reason but to have a superfluous f sound.

I think it might be time for me to leave the brewing industry. I gave it a try but I couldn't make it work. I could always teach English, but maybe I can find something else.

I don't know. I'm burnt out. Even if I open my own place that'd take at least two years. I need to do something in the meantime.

I'm just burnt out and don't really know what to do. Just feel like everything fell apart two and a half years ago and since then I've been hitting nothing but brick walls.

For some reason the mash tun took like 50 minutes to hit a temperature rest so I'm behind schedule. Gonna be a fairly long day...

Nothing wrong with taking a break to recharge, especially if you're really not feeling it right now. Just make sure you've got the bills covered, and IMO also use the time to work out which direction you want to try next.
Life is an ongoing learning experience, and sometimes the lesson is "this was not the right time to try that thing", but that should not be a permanent discouragement. Beer is cool and good and we need more brewers that aren't AB InBev IMO 
Full disclosure: I'm a computer toucher by trade so my brewing opinions are just that, purely opinion
Yeah.. I'm not sure. I suck at office work but manual labor is bullshit pay.

Today went a little longer but I'll just do cleaning tomorrow. Actually hit just slightly above target gravity (1.068 instead of the target 1.067) with the same amount of malt as the last time I made it and hit a bit below target. I think I did a better job with the grind. That honestly felt pretty good. Small victories.

Speaking of burned out, I was supposed to visit a construction site this week for an industrial plant that is replacing one that burned down a few years ago. My trip got cancelled at the last minute because the replacement facility had a fire. At least it didn't sink into a swamp.

Have you considered making a "Memes for brewers" page on Facebook. It won't make you any money but it'll give you that sweet clout!!

i slapped my boss across the face today.
with $3000 in cash.
i mused aloud how it would be satisfying to smack someone with the fat stack of bills i had just counted and he actually leaned over, but i think he was still surprised that I did it.
byob, it IS satisfying

Facebook and I have parted ways. Industry specific memes are usually very weird to me. Like those forklift operator tshirts.

Gooooooooddddddd I hate dealing with corporate office politics poo poo. I'm always commiting some loving faux pas asking for confirmation or whatever on the group chat because I guess asking about the number of bottles they want makes it look like we're disorganized to the branch head or something? Also they keep telling me to write out the schedule, but I can't because I can't make a schedule on my own because I don't have access to information I need about what's going on with cold storage for packaged product. Running a 500 liter brewhouse with 6 loving tanks does not need to be this complicated.

Nah. It's just really irritating. Also we're directly under a major train line so that'd be really bad.

Imperial family lives in Tokyo and probably doesn't take the train so often, so they're probably safe.
I had a meeting and I'm cautiously optimistic about poo poo. Looks like I'll finally be able to schedule poo poo out. The loving lack of cold room space is still a major issue though.

Currently debating the merits of arguing with a government employee about how to fill out a standardized form. On the one hand, yes, Susan, you are the only one processing these at this time so you get to call the shots. But on the other hand, the phrasing of the sentence clearly indicates that you should list the name of the current operator, not the operator that initially set up the agreement however many years ago. Yes, the template from DC says "(original operator)" on that line, but that clearly means the original within the context of this transaction! It doesn't matter who filed the thing in the sixties, what matters is that company B acknowledges that they are taking over operatorship from company A at this specific point in time!
She's nice otherwise but I cannot get her to budge on this one point and it's so stupid. I'm leaning towards sending an email and copying her supervisors, but I don't want to piss her off.

My approach to this sort of situation is usually to get Susan to write down what's supposed to happen, do what she says, and then when the thing jumps the track, resurface her written instructions.
The reason I do it this way is that, in my experience, 75% of the time Susan was right all along, and it avoids me being another pain in the rear end caused by the idiot who made the form 3 years ago and Susan keeps bringing up that it needs to be fixed but nobody will do anything about it.
The other 25% of the time it is glorious smug time for cruft.

The main thing that gets to me is that I've been filing these forms longer than Susan's been processing them. Also, up until last year, she was approving with the current operator! She just changed up the requirements out of the blue and acted like that's how it's always been.
Jobs are dumb and my job is even dumber because it's nothing but paperwork and can I please just stop working but still have health insurance? That would be great, thanks.

Today I had to write a lien waiver, as in make one up from scratch, because stupid client requires one but didn't give me the form to fill out. I'm glad I'm not a lawyer. This poo poo sucks. I kind of understand the legal purpose of them, but seriously why bother. We're not going to sue you out of your corporate headquarters over a four-figure sum. And I have to get them notorized, which means a trip to the bank. Notaries are an even stupider thing that exists. Just pay the drat invoice for fucks sake it's pocket change to you and you're just going to rubber stamp it anyways stop wasting my time.
Thank you for your business!

Today was the first bottling day so the equipment guy came in to set it up and help run poo poo. All in all it went alright but gently caress it was a long day. We were supposed to do 750 bottles but ended up with 1006 because people were counting from labeled bottles and got it wrong because different people labeled at different times and there were a lot of partially filled cases. People weren't also counting the amount of completed cases correctly. End of the day though, that's my responsibility and I should have explained that clearly or asked about it way earlier. Nobody died or had to go to the hospital and our overall loss was acceptable. Unfortunately, my body is now loving wrecked.
