If you need to vent a bit, I don't mind. I know I've made plenty rants ITT. No pressure either way though.

Basically, my co-worker is out with COVID and I need to work overtime tomorrow and Sunday, and also work Saturday, normally my day off. On its own not horrible (I guess) but. This all came as a surprise today and I am not mentally well enough to deal with it and all the other poo poo going on, but I didn't say anything because I'm a giant pushover and don't know how to talk to my manager about being extremely depressed.

not knowing how to talk about depression, and not being able to talk about it, is one of the symptoms of depression

Work was a gently caress today

Just had a reminder of how much better employment law is in Limey Land compared to the US, as we "re-organised" some people out of the US business, and I had to turn all their access off just after they got told about it. Literally on cue from the manager calling them to say "btw u fired here's ur severance bye" (it's basically gardening leave, they still get full pay period but poo poo is turned off right away because risk management)

Might be doxxing myself here (I am in tech so I likely work amongst goons), but one of those people today was my own boss. Been moved under a new one, meeting with the team and them tomorrow to go over basics and learn the new lay of the land

Tonight I shall be playing Playstation and trashing, maybe watch some anime? Definitely trashing. See if I can stay conscious long enough for GT7 to unlock :v:

Also: gently caress a job

had a caller at work today who called in to follow up on a letter he sent to us because he was upset that he received an email from us that contained pictures of people, and all the pictures were of black people. he said that white people make up 75% of the country and that he was tired of companies pushing woke nonsense in his face all the time, and he felt excluded by the email containing pictures of all black people. I was sitting there listening to this absolutely unhinged rant not sure how the hell I was supposed to respond to this, and settled on simply punting this guy to a supervisor because that's procedure when discrimination is alleged. then had to fill out a complaint form about the alleged discrimination. people really call us with the stupidest poo poo sometimes

actually gently caress that security training because a few weeks later I got an email from them with the subject like "<company> security alert" with a from address of Kevin mitnick's security training company and a link which I verified was to Kevin mitnick's security training company, so after I verified all that I clicked the link, which took me to a page that said "haha rekt you got phished, now you have to do remedial security training" and like, no I fuckin didn't

Common mistake. You're supposed to reply all to everyone in the company email directory and ask "Kevin, is this really from you?"

So I came to work today and found out that the restaurant manager caught COVID and started showing symptoms on Saturday. Great job letting me know! I could have gotten tested over the weekend or used my home test this morning had I been warned!

Why is it that the places I've worked with a mouse issue never take it seriously. They throw a few traos down and say we should just tape up the holes. Meanwhile these vermin are chewing away on my malt that is on the floor because they're forever going to order shelving to store the malt on. JFC

I mean almost every brewery I've worked for had had mice/rats. You're usually dealing with a big warehouse space so it's not like you can plug all the holes but these places have just been so slow to react.

I hosed up a bit. That gently caress up got slightly exacerbated by poor communication from my bosses but really it was my fault. The only person really mad at me for it is me.

Basically, I ran out of CO2. Post fermentation I use a fair amount of CO2 because you don't want oxygen touching beer that is in the middle of fermentation or done fermenting. It causes an unpleasant off flavor that tastes like cardboard or licking an envelope (if you're old enough to remember that).

We bottled last week which used a lot of CO2. I should have realized this but looking at the reading on the gas canister, I thought I had enough. The thing is, I also had yet to carbonate the tank I was supposed to keg today. I forgot to take into account how much CO2 I would need to wash kegs (purging of oxygen at the end of the cycle). I showed up later yesterday, but I also didn't get a count of how many 20 liter and 10 liter kegs my bosses wanted until like 2 pm, then it changed at 3. So I was going to have to be in later than I planned but I also showed up late. The issue started when, nearing the end of the kegs to wash I realized that the hot water reservoir hadn't been filling because I hadn't opened a valve. Not wanting to risk shipping out kegs with any amount of caustic in them, I decided to rewash them. At this point my CO2 was pretty low. Eventually it ran out. I told this assistant manager I needed to order another canister of CO2. I hosed up on that. He faxed in the order last night and put the order date as the 18th instead of the 8th. He contacted them today to check on the order and they said it'll be in tomorrow morning...or afternoon...or evening. Depending on the driver's route. So I need to show up tomorrow morning in case they arrive early. gently caress. Had to cancel an appointment I made for a haircut. I feel bad about that because if I had just ordered a canister on Friday this would have been fine.

Nobody is upset with me but I'm beating myself up for some reason.

i have gas troubles too - my gas of choice is helium. i fly the blimp for the local hockey team. at one point i used to order the helium myself, but there's some really bizarre family business bullshit going on between the hockey team management and the gas people, which means that they have to order the gas for me. problem is, the team people quite often forget, and also the gas people forget to deliver it. so bizarre. somehow the t shirt gun guy always has CO2 but I am constantly short of He.

Probably very high. Here's what it looks like.


I'm excited to see how the second batch comes out. I was just over target gravity by one point, so that was good, and I corrected a miscalculation with my aroma and flavoring hops (Nelson suavin and Hallertau Blanc) after having to make a last minute sub from Strisselspalt to the Hallertau.
