Lmao legit FUCK YOU keurig, sending me a coupon code for out of warranty (OOW25, go ahead and use it there's no checks in place) that can't actually be used with anything and the same coffee maker I have now gives me a $0 discount to order it.

If you work for keurig or dr pepper message me right now and tell me why your stupid coffee makers keep exploding when I follow your exact steps to descale. This is the fourth time it's happened and unfortunately I didn't know about the class action lawsuit in time.

Someone from the company came by and put the screws back in the pit cover so now I just have to wait. Some time next week I guess I can get started on the shelving going back together and the new shelving parts can be purchased and then I can see how bad I am at CAD.
They said not to walk on it for 3 days and not to put any shelving or weight on it for at least a week. The guy that keeps coming to do the service calls is supposed to come out and look at it and like sign off on it or something? But then I just have to wait for it to rain and see if it holds.

A crew is coming tomorrow morning to fill the hole in the basement floor.

I like to tell people not to use AI for anything (important). I have a script here that deletes some local files and pulls them again from github to keep the local files up to date so the program is always running the current working version. For fun I asked chatgpt to make an equivalent script.

I guess it's supposed to rain all night, so now would be the time (before they pour cement and fill the hole) to see if their pipe repair holds. Not that I WANT the basement to flood, but I do want to know if it's fixed before they cover it all up again. It'd be a lot of work to get it exposed again

Can someone diagnose me with a mental illness over bluesky please? I am watching the alley cameras and the totally accurate truck tracker on the trash company's website so I can be outside when the guy pulls up and yell at him if he tries to skip me again.

Today is the first* day of the first week of them making me go back to doing work at work. I have an end of year project to work on and a tomorrow deadline project to work on. Technically last night I went in and did a hardware upgrade as well but that doesn't count.

Had someone tell me they don't like trans people because if they "think a chick is hot and then she turns into a dude" that retroactively makes them gay. So like, that's how my day has been so far, how about you guys?

They ripped out the old floor drain and put in a whole new one that feeds directly into the sump pit. The new one does not have a check valve but because it goes to high up in the pit, IF the flooding is NOT fixed, by the time it backflows out of the floor drain it'd already be coming out of the pit

They emptied the trash can but left a cheeky little note about "next time have your cans out in time" like I didn't have them out there for hours before the guy made eye contact with me and drove away on Monday morning (and not moved them since). I'm actually pretty offended by this note.

So it's still not been picked up. Got to start my morning by calling and as politely as possible telling this woman I have a bunch of stuff I need to throw away. She said the system still showed me as a missed pickup and she was sending a message to the local guys to coordinate a pickup.
The lady said it was marked as a missed pickup and someone would be around to get it before end of day. She tried to explain something about the pickup system software and tracking the truck and that the route was 20% done but I don't really need that information, I just need my trash picked up?

It's not just the soakway, it ties into the sewer. The guy packed it with 6 inches of hydraulic cement. He also shoved some around the outside where it's cracked. Another crew is supposed to come out and cut the pipe back and do a permanent cap. They're going to tie the floor drain into the sump pit

They're sending someone out tomorrow morning (no timeframe given) to see what they can do about repairing the pipe. I told the scheduler I wanted it capped, but she said because there's a floor drain they have to replace the pipe segment. I can run to the store and get some cement. What floor drain?

Okay, so super good news? The plumbing company called about an estimate to fix the pipe! The lady said she was confused about the message the basement people left but it seems like the waterproofing company is footing the bill for the sewer line repair. "Call home owner for scheduling, bill [us]."
They found an old pipe! I cannot prove it was damaged during the original install, but the area they dug up originally is twice as wide as the sump pit and would have put that pipe exactly in the way. There was cement dumped on top of the pipe as well, but only in one area directly next to the pit.
Basement wall is cleared, gonna put up some drop cloth tonight so they can come in the morning and not solve the problem

Garbage truck skipped my house, called them while he was 10 feet away to report a missed pickup. The lady I talked to asked if it was my normal driver (it was) and then asked if he had continued to pee in the alley since I called about it last (afaik he has not?). I had talked to her about that!
