I'm fucking livid right now because I have to rebuild my local dev env because the django project we use is installed locally and _something_ _somewhere_ made it so I couldn't run migrations any longer. No worries, our operations teams made a set up script that bootstraps the project. Except it just totally borked my entire environment and the script is failing over itself possibly due to some env vars set in some other script, utility, or dotfile.

I want to just get some shit done. And I have now spent 5 hours trying to patch up a problem that should never have even existed. I work at a place with 50+ eng teams sharing this code base. This simply shouldn't even be a thing. I should be able to clone, run a setup script, and just code.

So, yeah, I'm in a shit-ass mood now. And the worst part is that my feelings are totally self-imposed. _I_ want to feel productive. Apparently the org doesn't really care, so if they want to pay me to not be able to work, so be it I guess? I don't like it.
