Lower Decks S3E4 “Room for Growth”
Brooklyn Nine-Nine S4E4 “The Night Shift”
Software infrastructure engineer here. I cannot relax if something is broken.
Sysadmin here, so I have to limit my care to what I’m responsible for for my sanity, but I often feel this comic in my bones:
Very Chief O’Brien of him.
I hadn’t seen that one before. That’s amazing!
I left a Performance team hanging, waiting on a fix from my code. I fixed it Thursday but can’t release just before being out for a week. Now it’s killing me sitting at home, not getting that taken care of

Well, they falsified their stress readings so they could get out of the dam spa and back to work…

True, but I have home problems to solve
