So I work as a "Web Development Lead"
Which means I lead (frontend,backend and infrastructure teams)
Also I am in charge of infrastructure or devops or whatever you call it, which means I handle production issues, dev and staging environments,...etc

and I am a team of one, and today I asked for a day off because it's my wife's birthday

and suddenly everyone is blocked, everything is on fire, and the phone is not stopping ringing, I had to go out of the cinema theater to answer the non-stopping calls

I AM ASKING FOR A SINGLE DAY, A FUCKING DAY, EVEN IF SOMEONE IS BLOCKED SO WHAT IT'S NOT EVEN A DAY I ONLY NEED 6 HOURS

IS TO TOO MUCH FUCKING TO ASK

    @jschmold sure, but why is it too hard for others to understand this
    I NEED A FEW HOURS OFF, how hard is that

    even if the whole damn team will get blocked for a whole day

    I went on vacation recently and decided to leave all my devices behind, worked out great. The thing is, people can actually live without you resolving their issues "right now". Is always a good idea to set boundaries

    Working on super old legacy code for internal site that no on ever visits.

    Me: SONABITCH!!! Why the fuck did they not comment the code so I can find the file path (in a completely other directory) for this XML file.

    It took me 30 minutes to figure it out.

    Me again: saves changes > pushes to production without commenting

    This circle of shitty code continues...
