My day started with some bugs from previous days (that seemed to pile up) and all but one have been resolved.
That one bug seems to be out of my league though, and I've spent so much time on it already that I can't charge the customer for it anymore...
1. Web app wouldn't start - Fixed (some weird issue with Application Insights, so I just disabled AI).
2. AI would be reinstalled upon deployment and web app wouldn't start again as a result - Fixed.
3. The Lets Encrypt extension wouldn't install correctly from an ARM template - Fixed.
4. Lets Encrypt wouldn't install an initial certificate - Fixed (by doing that by hand, I'm assuming the certificate will be automatically renewed in 60 days).
5. Lets Encrypt won't install an initial certificate at all for a WCF service I'm running - PULLING MY FREAKING HAIRS OUT ON THIS ONE!!! 
Alright, so I admit 1 through 4 have some shortcuts with disabling AI and manual labor, but I need to be practical too.
It's still some nasty issues that I don't have to worry about for now (AI can be turned back on later when I know why it didn't work).
But that number 5 is really ruining my day.
I'm getting some 403 Forbidden status and I really don't know why.
I can't really find any differences with my ASP.NET Core web services...
My Google-fu is leaving me hanging as well.
Ah well, let's stay positive, 4 out of 5 isn't bad 
Perhaps I'll wake up in the middle of the night and I'll have my answer.
At least the websites work with a custom domain name and a valid certificate.
The third party application that talks to the WCF service doesn't even check whether a valid certificate is installed so I guess that's just a nice to have anyway

A day can be both good and bad.
- A lawyer dies in an horrible accident.
- Another hip-hop/rapper becomes a "star".
This is a typical good day/bad day situation.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

This reminds me of the argument between a husband and wife. She was talking about mixed feelings, but her husband insisted that the concept was nonsense, because everything was ultimately positive or negative.
"Out of all your friends", she replied, "you have the biggest dick."

I had the exact same thing happen...seemed to be something with SSRS bindings.

I suppose their favorite pastry would be tarts? And, if they had a stringed instrument it they would strumpet ?

Do you do most of your dealings with the client face to face or are you more phone and email?
|
|
|
|
|
Me, I am more face to face.
|
|
|
|
|
I have managers between me and the users 
|
|
|
|
|
That is the only way that works.
I'd rather be phishing!

I'll do face to face for major / new (and starting of course)
followed by written version - proper document (not just email - formatting lost etc.)
not a big fan of phone, if so always followed up with email (if they don't I will)
- again if it's big / significantly new I insist on face to face - can whiteboard etc
small items prefer email
I'm a stickler for "ensure it's written down" - even if trivial, just so it's recorded.

I have a support team between me and clients... On those occasions I have to comunicate with them it is done by phone or personally almost equally, however everything is written in emails later...

If it's the start of a project then face to face.
If it's a major or monthly update and I'm in a senior role then usually video conference.
If it's a major or monthly update and I'm not in a senior role then I'm usually not involved.
Day to day stuff via email, very rarely use the phone for anything, it's much better to have unambiguous communications and a paper trail
If the client company has hot women then face to face. Always face to face.
