A day where the this-is-effing-stupid virus took over.

There was an email asking me to make a change that has to be made every year.  It affects 2 programs and it's been a thing we've done for 6 years.  It involves activating 4 lines of code.  And it takes about 1 minute to do that.

Now, how sensible is it to spend 15 minutes opening a JIRA ticket - changing the status and blah blah blah, then opening a HPSM change and waiting 30 minutes until it is activated?

Something snapped - changes made, code promoted and it is active.  It took less than 5 minutes.  Which seems to me to be very much in keeping with being "agile".  Let managers pee their pants, let me do my job.
