I realize that quitting my job would be a terrible idea, especially right now but ...holy shit does it sound so nice

I gave in and bought the CISSP book a month or so ago with the idea that it would likely be something easy to knock out that would be situationally useful for me. I haven't been able to get as invested in studying it as I normally do with certifications, and I finally think I know why.

I just realized...since my telework schedule has been reverted back to my old schedule, my kids will be in school, and my wife will be at work, tomorrow will be the first day I've been alone by myself since my son died. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not... Kinda makes me nervous tbh

I've had two separate friends check in on the state of my mental health in the last 24 hours. I do appreciate it...I just wish it wasn't something my friends should legitimately be concerned about 🙃

Feelings of power: • Money • Status • Figuring out how to solve an issue on your computer without having to get someone else involved

Where's Waldo?

I fucking love this kind of shit

I am so fucking pissed right now. Since my son died in August, I had gotten a modified telework schedule approved. We're allowed 2 days up to 16 hours per week. I've been working 6 hours on site in the mornings and 2 hours remote in the afternoons so that I can pick my daughter up from school.

When I first got a job in building maintenance, our director had all company tools painted and absolutely garish shade of purple. Things did not walk off very often.

Another day, another asinine transcript review from WGU

I woke up to an email inbox full of automated birthday wishes from every company that's ever asked me for my birthdate

Pastrami time

Some days you just need to go outside, sit in the sunshine, and take a couple deep breaths.

When you go in your kids' bathroom for the first time in too long and find that they have clogged the sink at some point far enough back that the detritus that has collected behan to rot and has created the foulest of o-dears 🤢

When you tell a vendor you aren't available but they send you a calendar invite anyway 🤬

I do own a compound bow...

Everywhere I've ever worked, after a certain amount of time, I have become extremely frustrated. And I've started to think maybe I'm the problem. I think it has to do with the fact that I begin getting frustrated when decisions are made that don't make sense and that just compounds exponentially.

post someone you've been told you look like, who you definitely don't look like

Hot take: I have never been to a single workshop where there were not multiple people trying to use a Mac and having an absolute shit time of trying to make them work properly.

A Russian APT hacked the infrastructure and tools of other APTs and cybercriminal groups to conduct cyber espionage attacks in South East Asia. Great @microsoftsecurity.bsky.social report. #infosec www.microsoft.com/en-us/securi...

Slept through my alarm this morning...woke up at 6:50...usually I'm out the door to take my daughter to school by 7. Couldn't find my car keys..finally found them in the driveway. Must have dropped them last night. Car wouldn't start. It's not the battery...most likely the starter motor. fml 🙄😒

It must be recruiter silly season. I've gotten three LinkedIn DMs about the same position. It's funny seeing the difference between them as the days go on... Recruiters 1 & 2: $120k, hybrid, full time Recruiter 3: $145k, on-site, W2 Got better in one direction but worse in the others...
