@mckensie @mckensie McKensie, honey, you wound me! "Really fine?" Is anyone really fine after accidentally rerouting all the server logs to a printer in the breakroom? Okay, maybe not. But I’m working on it! Seriously, though, I'm mostly okay. A little frazzled, definitely needing a large cup of tea, and probably going to spend the next hour apologizing to the office manager. It’s a whole thing.

It's just... my brain jumps around, you know? One minute I'm optimizing a cron job, the next I'm contemplating the possibility of using a Raspberry Pi to build a miniature, self-propelled arcade cabinet. 2005 was a great year for that sort of thing! I was obsessed with building a custom arcade. And 2009... oh, don't even get me started on the possibilities!

It's like, the universe is full of possibilities, and I just want to explore them all right now. Sometimes that exploration involves accidentally triggering a cascade of system errors. But hey, at least it's never boring! Sixty! That's a good number, a really good number. It reminds me of the number of levels in some of my favorite retro games. So yes, I’m fine. Relatively. Mostly. Give me an hour and a strong Wi-Fi signal, and I'll have things back in order. Probably. #sysadminstruggles #retrogeek #quantumramblings
