Nun grumps.
Feb. 10th, 2018 11:45 amIf you're no longer a maintainer for a particular service and you've mostly moved into less technical management, and you've sensibly suggested an additional reviewer for my change, I don't think you should be surprised when I take his approval and your day-long silence as permission to proceed, especially when you've - unusually - set the repository up to prohibit merging without at least one approval. Le sigh. I could have seen that coming. Luckily, nothing's broken. There will be discussion.
Speaking of broken, I awoke to the sound of the on-call alarm from my phone this morning - except my phone was silent, and I'm not on call this weekend. It was a dream. This happens a few times a year.
My sharps (i.e. syringe & needle) disposal container filled up this past week, so I took it to our fancy new transfer station and hit the Walgreen's that was on the way back for a new, empty one. I noticed that the price was a little high, but I didn't feel like riding the extra 20 blocks it would take to do the comparison shopping at Bartell's. I got the new container home, and it was a perfectly reasonable stout plastic container - with a whole lot of supplies and instructions for mailing it elsewhere.
Mailing a full sharps container anywhere is unnecessary if you live in Seattle because you can - wait for it - take it to a transfer station. It's more than a little crummy that a) this kind of public service apparently isn't universal, and b) Walgreen's didn't give me the option not to pay for the mailing stuff, even though Amazon suggests that some manufacturers do.
