Yep. And GovCIO (contractor for VA) fired 30% 2 days ago. And somehow, I kept my job through this round.
I'm still looking though. I need out of the federal ecosystem.
By the time they're done with all the cuts, there won't be a department to work in left. And we'll be destroyed anyways since 'we cant do our jobs'.

It's friday y'all.
That's all I really have. I don't have any words of great wisdom, this is not such a place. I do not have any great quips, my fucks have gone out to pasture. I'm just sat here, hoping to find a new job, hoping to find something fun to do, just something.

@rallias hope you’re able to get a new job, I know the market kind of sucks right now. Hope no one here got affected by the crowdstrike layoff.
I’m burnt out a bit. Been working everyday for the last 12 days, traveling back home tomorrow, but then to my moms and preparing for celebration on Sunday. Spouse may have an eye issue, they’re at the eye doctor right now about it. @darkuncle @crankylinuxuser @ajn142 @XenoPhage @nuintari @mav @sciaticnerd @dntlookbehindu @pivot @jwgoerlich @Aneilan @dustinfinn @jerry @thegibson @firefly @lintile @JaysonEStreet @circuitswan @montar @cillic @D4rkm4tter @threadzilla @gillis @brianrphillips @lil_lost @zenrandom @failOpen @BabblingGeek @rand0h @Ajediday @JNitterauer @rayredacted
@rallias taking today off (mostly, no meetings but a little email catch-up) after exhausting my social and mental capacity last week (RSAC) and this week (all the follow-up work I generated for myself at RSAC). Blue skies, warm weather, getting some replacement patio cushions for the ones that have been threadbare a few years now ... there will probably be grilling happening later on <3

It's Friday y'all.
Google Photos decided to remind me of a phtoograph I took of myself 7 years ago yesterday. It was some headshot, probably for finding a job or sommat. But, like, I saw that, and it's soured my mood, because if I hadn't had my head so far up my own fucking ass back then, I could have started this journey then, not now.
Past me was an utter jackass.

@rallias happy Friday! Sounds like Google was a jerk. Give yourself some grace - hindsight is always 20/20!
This weekend is a strawberry festival and I’m excited.

Yep, Google and Facebook are both terrible in this regard: "I remember what you did X years ago and will never let you forget it!"

@crankylinuxuser on the other hand: my absolute favorite phone widget is the thing that shows me photos from my album like 10-15 years ago, when my kids were all cute and small. 🥰 Remembering those good times from the past is a good mental health practice for today.

You know what? Fuck it, I'm going by "it's friday somewhere" rules.
I finally created an avatar for my alt, and Dynadot is giving me reminders I need to renew my offensive "you insisted on a valid email address" domain.
In some sort of cruel joke, I've been handed the task of getting the iOS build of my employers app going. I am legit tempted to reverse-engineer all this bullshit to make the pipeline work on Linux, it's pissed me off this bad.

@rallias yay on the avatar!! Work sounds painful though.
Yet another week of imposter syndrome acting up, not sure why this week 🤷♀️ thought I had a handle on it. Next week mom arrives, and I’m off to vacation in 8 days - I honestly can’t wait.
