I had one of the worst days and weeks of my life so I’m incredibly humbled by the attendance at my talk and the kind words today.
@hacks4pancakes shit. hopefully things getting better?
@hacks4pancakes Isn't it amazing what a few kind words can do?
@hacks4pancakes ​ I don’t know what you’re going through, but I wish you all the best
@jerry I suck at stuff
@hacks4pancakes @jerry I call BS. Maybe you didn’t succeed yet, but you don’t suck. You’ve got this Lesley!
@hacks4pancakes my therapist would say to reframe it as "I'm not great at stuff yet". Luv yew pancake peep ❤️
@hacks4pancakes @jerry this is categorically untrue.
@lil_lost i suck at absolutely everything and that’s my day
@hacks4pancakes :hugs: I’ve had a lot of days when I’ve felt I suck at everything. Hopefully you realize that you don’t suck ♥️

@hacks4pancakes @lil_lost
It’s a Tuesday!

I don’t know what you’re going through, so this might not compare at all (and it’s not my intent to belittle what you’re experiencing)… but I did a big suck today by screwing up the PHP 8.1.16 tarballs for a security release that everyone in the world was trying to download to upgrade PHP, and I’m still waiting on the CDN cache to clear. So, at least you didn’t do that. 😉

BSD tar is not the same at GNU tar. 😬

@hacks4pancakes @jerry

*big sigh*

Yeah. Same. Very, very same. But together, we suck together 🤣

@hacks4pancakes @jerry you may suck at some things. That's OK. You are absolutely amazing at a far greater than average number of other things. Try not to let the things that aren't your strengths dominate how you feel. I appreciate you.
@hacks4pancakes @jerry
*some stuff (maybe, I'm not convinced)
@hacks4pancakes @jerry I have those days too. Hugs from Hobbiton.
@hacks4pancakes @jerry Don't we all? Regardless I hope next week is better @hacks4pancakes
@hacks4pancakes Ooof, that sounds like a rough time. Here's my tiny dog, Paris, hoping for a better next week.
@hacks4pancakes Sorry to hear, and wish I could have been there for the talk.
@hacks4pancakes Lesley, I'm sorry you're having a hard day and week. All the nice things people have said to you today are totally deserved.
@hacks4pancakes Best thing about horrible days is the feeling when the day that should be just mediocre suddenly feels like really great one as the shitty times end. Hopefully you have really epic days in your near future!
@hacks4pancakes While I don't know details, I do hope the rest of your week improves. Thanks for everything you do.
@hacks4pancakes sending you good vibes and a hug. Hope things get better soon.
@hacks4pancakes I'm sorry to hear today/this week has been so rough. You are definitely loved.
@hacks4pancakes I don’t know what consolation to offer except to say that I’m full of admiration for you and if anyone hurt you, just say the word and I will avenge you 💚
@hacks4pancakes hugs 🤗🤗🤗 sorry Lesley, wish I could make it better!
@hacks4pancakes Hope it gets better for you.
@hacks4pancakes Sending good thoughts your way.

@hacks4pancakes My youngest is just embarking on his martial arts journey, and I was telling him about the cross-over between the martial arts community and the computer and infosec clan. I pointed you out as one of the “good people” in our community— talented, successful, and always helping others.

May tomorrow and the weeks to come be better for you!

@hacks4pancakes Sorry you are having a rough time--- know that there are a bunch of folks pulling for you!!
@hacks4pancakes Wishing you the best, and hoping the future brings good tidings.
@hacks4pancakes sorry for the bad day 🙁
@hacks4pancakes Hey, we've never met and infosec isn't really my field, but over the years, I've really appreciated your insightful posts. Thanks for being awesome. Thanks for being you. 💜
@hacks4pancakes I did a search on Bing AI for the top infosec influencers today and you were listed third. So...you've got that going for you.
@hacks4pancakes Sorry for whatever you're going through. Hope things improve quickly for you! ❤️

@hacks4pancakes

I'm very sorry to hear that it's been bad times.

You will prevail, do not worry. 🙂

@hacks4pancakes and may today be the start of better times.
