It's Friday.

Reviews came down today at work. I learned I need to have my head on a swivel.

I feel like dogshit today. Nose running, back aching, leg aching, stomach ache.

I hope y'all are doing better than I am at the moment.

@rallias Head on a swivel, eh? That doesn't sound good.

Hope you're able to get some rest this weekend and feel better soon!

@XenoPhage @rallias yeah, trying to do anything while you're sick other than recovering from being sick pretty much sucks. Makes dealing with non-physical things like job anxiety that much harder. Hope you're feeling better soon.

For my part, trying to get all my ducks in a row for RSA and client work next week. Doing a few interviews about emerging tech security that I'm excited about too.

It's... well 10 minutes into Friday.

I've officially gotten pissed off at these patches. I have an appointment in the morning to try to get them to switch me to pills.

I don't know if it's placebo or just life's shitting bricks or if it is an actual effect from the patches, but I have noticed myself more emotional lately.

Also, my notifications this last week have been blasted... I made ONE joke about email regex...

My boss got fired yesterday. I now report to his boss, and I won’t do that for a moment longer than is absolutely necessary.

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 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. I also should be at hacker summer camp so super excited! @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

@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.

It’s Friday!! How is everyone holding up? I’m having an anxiety week and a bit of a migraine

@TheDrPinky weekend started like this, will continue in the same vein https://infosec.exchange/@darkuncle/114559648238380932

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.

I’ll be spending all spare time I can muster over the weekend wrenching on my mom’s car.

• Pull the full interior
• Clean interior components outside the car
• Scrub the inside of the tub.
• Drain and flush the radiator
• Install new water pump and thermostat (opposite sides of the engine)
• Replace all 4 motor mounts (top left, top right, bottom 2-part mount)
• Near future all 4 brakes
• Near future all 4 tires
• Near future fixing rock chips before they rust in my much more humid environment

Trying not to give in to the siren song of fiscally irresponsible tool and part shopping for the ADHDopamine.

I've been in a long term relationship with unnecessary jeep modifications for decades. Send help.

It is an absolute life skill to be able to safely work on your own vehicles though. A lot of folks i think believe they cannot work on a car because they can't possibly be trusted to make their vehicle safe to drive. This is generally a lie. General maintenance is actually not all that hard and can be done safely with just a little diligence.

how’d you know it was a Jeep? 😉

And yes, at some point I plan to unnecessarily mount a trailer hitch, and while I had the carpet out I considered unnecessarily installing sound-deadening. Still on the fence about a dashcam, I think I might drive better if I was always performing for a recording.

It’s amazing what becomes feasible when you aren’t made of mechanic money.

I’ve said it elsewhere though, I miss my dad while doing this.
