I messed up at work. The MSP contract is over at the end of the week. They control our Google Workspace backups. I didn’t move fast enough I’m lining up a replacement because I didn’t realize it was apparent so important to not have a gap in our backup coverage.
I’m trying to rush it with a vendor, but I still don’t understand why it matters so much. Is GitHub backed up? What about our docs in Notion? What AWS? Where are those backups?
I met with a vendor was going to go forward with them. But the security engineer had a bunch of questions. Hopefully, I can get his approval to go ahead with things tomorrow.
I gotta go into the office on Thursday. They're doing a Q&A event for the weekly All Hands and they want a full mic setup and everything. This is the shyt that makes me want a new job. I've been having to work with mics, projectors, and other audio equipment my entire career and I've always hated it. None of these companies ever have a set up where a user can easily set it up themselves.
There's also a happy hour after work to celebrate the end of Q1.
It's at an engineering manager's place. The team isn't small. There's like 40 or 50 people in the NYC office. I've never heard of a work event like this. There's a part of me that suspects that it's not actually at the manager's place and they're really just keeping the location secret.
Either way, I have no desire to go to that.
