Embracing the chaos.
Not everything works out, not everything goes to plan. Routines will be disrupted.

My job in a nutshell. Not a bad job, per se, but I’m the kind of employee who only get paid handsomely to show up at weird corners of the world to make stuff work with whatever resources I can muster. Planning ahead can only get you so far.
Your “everyday carry” must be amazing! 😀
In my work backpack, off the top of my head:

Console cables for various routers and switches.

A plastic fork.

A pair of exrra socks.

A TWIC? You must really need to deal with chaos.
Only reason why I’ve been to Mississippi was to file the paperwork for that TWIC. I happened to be in Mobile AL for a couple of weeks, and Gulfport happened to have a slot, so I drove there.
