cjs: Coworker who needed three pings to get a couple SSL certificates generated finally sent them...and got the domain names wrong. Now we're another email and a Slack message into round two with no reply!

Best part is that I apparently could have requested authorization to submit SSL certificate requests myself this whole time I've worked here and nobody told me, especially not the overworked coworker who keeps dropping the ball.

a startup i used to work for and own private stock in is getting bought and they sent me a bunch of stuff to sign that I do not understand at all

is this a "pay someone to explain it to me" situation? If so, what kind of person should I seek out? I understand this so little that i don't even understand who might be able to understand it.

also is this situation generally good news or bad news? afaik IPO is the good news so I would guess that this is middling/bad?

IPOs make stock number go up and are a opportunity for people to offload their existing stock to someone who is hype to get their money into the company. But if the project you don't work for anymore is something you believe in, you can elect to HODL.

But yes, from the description of the words you saw on these papers this seems like money.

transactional business contract lawyer to be most specific but if you just ask a rando lawyer and they arent total scum theyll refer you

these are expensive. if you want less expensive accountants can also tell you lots. theres a pretty large cottage industry in figgielands for this

if you take a few weeks you can learn to understand all that poo poo yourself if its utterly bog standard but obviously specialist will be better at it

oof man, that sounds frustrating.

intensely so. it's turned him into an incredibly selfish human being who is constantly convinced that everyone has abandoned him.

my dad and i drop by every saturday to watch the cardinals game, and my grandmother uses the opportunity to go out with her friends -- hit up the mall, lunch etc. after about an hour the panic sets in and he assumes something has happened to her. frantically demanding she call, telling her to come home, cursing out his flip phone when he doesn't understand that the green button means 'call.'

when he isn't panicking over her, he's panicking over his dog. he will freak out after a couple minutes when she is not in visual contact, convinced that she has gotten out of the house. usually she's in his bedroom halfway under the bed because she's as loving sick of it as the rest of us.

like, i get that he isn't really 'there' to most extent and it's just a bag of chemicals with a big mouth, but it doesn't make the experience any less frustrating for the rest of the family, particularly my grandmother and i as we're the ones he attaches to most.

sorry for the rant!

i told my husband about problems i was having with my manager and he thinks my manager is having mental health issues, but no one else on my team seems to have any problems with him, so I think i'm just an unreliable narrator and bad at reading situations and making mountains out of molehills
