So Phuks, how was your day?

1. Coworker has high functioning autism. Has been told multiple times to stop jumping into other people's conversations - this was even brought up in his yearly review. He constantly comes over to share something he found funny. [He has been told repeatedly not to do this](https://heeris.id.au/trinkets/ProgrammerInterrupted.png). Everything has to be a a joke for him and few people find him humorous. He's aggravating every day of the week. Finally had to mute and hide his conversations on company chat because he'd listen in to my conversations with managers I report to and work with and send some message or link pertaining to it because the alternative is to raise all kinds of cain which could cause an interesting issue that I'd have to deal with regarding my employment. 2. Other coworker is stupid. As in "the dullest tool in the shed." He has to be told something no less than three times before he gets it. If it's the next day, he needs 2 reminders. If you tell him something flat out, it's like he doesn't hear it and you have to tell him, flat out, again. He also has a lot of holes in his knowledge. He couldn't get a regular job because of this so my company hired him as a long-term intern. He's been working on the same tasks for almost a month, each one of which should only have taken several hours. 3. My boss was promoted to another position that he's really good with (good for him) so now, as his stand-in replacement or point of contact, I have to deal with these clowns directly. I also now do all pushes to production which cannot happen until after 9 PM. 4. The only other person at my level of maturity and responsibility is remote from us and so we can only talk in company chat. Every once in a while, conversation wires get crossed. I was trying to track down a code checkin to the repo that wasn't on our testing box and couldn't get him to understand that it wasn't on the testing box but was in the repo and no one complained that the code wasn't there (and so was dead code). After about an hour of this, I ran out of the ability to care and just said "fine, dead code to production it is." 5. My boss's replacement is also remote and has a large learning curve as stand-in but since he's remote and doesn't know our side of things, most things fall on me. Which means I'm lucky to get in 4 hours of coding on any given day. Thankfully, he's a "hands off" kind of guy so I get a lot of control and leeway on handling things. He's also nowhere near as structured as my previous boss so our productivity numbers are dropping. 6. My current project (which is very very cool, by the way) involves a lot of IndexedDB stuff and so my javascript is becoming increasingly asynchronous so I have to do full tests each time I work on another feature. This is *highly* frustrating. 7. The project owner for the current project is like a hyper hummingbird and wants to micromanage and bloat the project, thus causing delays and more problems. Maybe I can step up my "work from home" game. I'll certainly get a lot more done there.
