  1. Y'all these two are working me hard today. Meet TAAN President Michele & Fundraiser Melissa. We've spent the morning working on the details of the Autism Walk. I am now being told to go eat lunch but I'll catch y'all on the flip side.

  2. I’m sitting here, managing 7 different workstreams, 5 different environments,150 apps, all with no budget for tooling or training and with a team of 5 engineers and a sixth who I can’t use, all of whom are burnt out from constantly context switching and I’m just sitting here thinking, “Damn, only having to manage two or three swim lanes would make for such an amazing break right now.”

    So yeah, if you’re looking for a #DevOps or #SRE manager with 25 years experience to come join your team, let me know! I love the idea of having a semi-realistic number of plates spinning and maybe a team that is just normally understaffed instead of so completely understaffed that it sits in the realm of the absurd.

    Looking for a remote job where being treated as an adult human is not a thing that needs to be fought for but is the baseline standard for the company.

  7. Today is going to be long and difficult. It’s 9:28am and I am already exhausted. Yippee, right?

    I got home at about 12:20am this morning. I had a glass of water and went to sleep a little before 1:00. I woke up about 5:30. Yeah, I’m tired.

    The show was fun. I think for the first time I may have seen Iron Maiden showing its age a little. We know the drummer had a minor stroke not long ago, and he’s let it be known that there are things that he used to be able to do that he is no longer physically able to do. Was that why the set was somewhat lacking in classics? Maybe. Was that why the band was… and I mean this in the most respectful way possible… somewhat less than tight? Probably not. I mean, as great as a live band as they are let us be frank with ourselves and admit that they were never really that tight. They always had their moments where things would lock in and the results would be spectacular, but over all? Yeah, they could be sloppy. Rhythmically, mostly. Tempos were always a little weird. Guitar leads and vocals would slide in and out of time here and there. These aren’t criticisms at all. Not at all. It’s just how they play. Always has been. It’s just that last night those moments seemed maybe a little more frequent and maybe a little more obvious. Vocally there were some struggles. Timing wise for the most part, but pitch wise too. Bruce is 66 years old. Over all he was amazing, as usual… he just wasn’t quite as perfect as he used to be.

    Again, these are not complaints at all. Not even a little bit. They are just observations from a picky music school nerd who clearly loved every second of the show… and I clearly loved every second of the show. It was great.

    The highlight for me was Fear of the Dark. I used to think I was the only one around who really dug that song, but the crowd went berserk when they played it. We were in the back row of the middle level and couldn’t see the stage at all if we stood up. Still, when Fear of the Dark started half of the people in front of us stood up and went nuts. I guess I’m not the only one who loves that particular song.

    They only hit the first record (still my favorite) once. They played Iron Maiden… the song from the album of the same name from the band of the same name. It was one of those moments where the tempo was alarmingly slow, and Bruce let the crowd sing a lot of it. Totally understandable, but the second that Dave Murray started playing it, your humble narrator here was on cloud nine.

    Now if he can also just get through the work day so he can get himself a little more sleep. Hang in there, tired people!

  12. Viva == complete!

    It was very long and intense, and not an experience I want to repeat any time soon.

    Result is passed with corrections - but exactly what that means and how long I'll have to do them is still being decided and stuff

    Thanks to everyone who has supported me thus far!

    The Journey Continues!

  26. I was torn between writing or a nap. If you guessed that I ended up doing something totally unfulfilling and unrelated to either option, you'd be correct.

    Honestly, the only satisfying thing I've accomplished today is finally getting that LAMY pen unblocked so now it's writing well. It took two flushes with pen cleaning solution and multiple forced rinses with both a syringe and a bulb. I also switched to a converter from cartridge. Whee!

  35. I've been up playing videogames on my phone, listening to CLE courses, getting one bill in for deceased clients estate to pay, and doing a bit of work emails. It's just after 9a.m. And I need a full on nap.

    Today's remaining to do list:
    1. Over due billing;
    2. Fire client;
    3. Update calendar re various cases where I have no idea of deadlines;
    4. Email client re debacle of discovery;
    5. Contact other side in divorce (trying to wait for the holidays to end before raining on people's parade); and
    6. Go drink an old fashion someplace. And by someplace, I mean over there.
