Less cranky now

This was not the greatest of days. My priorities at work seem to be (a) support everyone else (including fixing broken parts of code, if it's mine), (b) try to make a particular program run through our compiler, and (c) work on a release of our software. This is all fine, except that my boss doesn't seem to really acknowledge (a) and there's nothing I can do directly on (b). So I'm working on (c) when I'm not doing (a), but this leads to some tension between my boss and I because I'm not actively putting effort into (b).
I tried hanging out in SIPB after work. It was dark, and I by and large wasn't thrilled about the company; a little too much sketchiness for my own comfort. I didn't feel like going to dinner with the group I usually do, but at least I was able to go to dinner with someone and vent, a lot, about sketchiness and work and people complaining and general grumpiness in the world. It seemed to help; I feel at least passable now. That, and I did a somewhat neutral brain-dump in my occasional progress-report email so at least hopefully my boss understands what's going on now, even if he's usually in California.
