So, on Tuesday, I turned 48 years old. As I spend most of my time in this space lately (and in conversation with others, and in songwriting, etc…) ruminating about what middle-age feels like, I’ll leave it for now, and focus on the “gift” I received this year. A positive COVID-19 test result. I dodged […]
Bruen. Dobbs. Kennedy. OK v. Castro-Huerta. WV v. EPA…. From my perspective, this was not a great couple of weeks for this country. These decisions, along with some other things, have not made things better. More guns. Right to privacy gutted. Establishment Clause crossed out. Tribal Sovereignty rolled back to 1839. The government’s ability to […]
Most of my week’s been way too deeply invested in developing a couple of sales pitch decks for the C-suite pushing a new organizational scheme for requirements in the program management center…Well, I say “new”, when I really mean “a”, because currently, there really isn’t any rhyme or reason to things. My boss and our […]
The excessive life has slowed down somewhat, but I’ve still got way too many balls in the air, so to speak, and seriously don’t have the energy or free brain cycles to go on about it here. Once things settle a bit more? We’ll likely be back to our regularly scheduled web-hosted bitching. Suffice it […]
Hell of a week this was. Couple of twelve hour work days, sprained wrist, and cold-like symptoms the last several days, which have played hell with my anxiety, as I’ve been having dreams the early part of this week that I’d caught the ‘rona at RavenCon and that would sideline my plans to participate in […]
…but the obstacles, however minor, keep doing the things that obstacles do, and getting in the way of anything resembling accomplishment. I have a job; one that I’m good at, pays well, and that, under most circumstances, I don’t mind doing at all (and sometimes even enjoy), except all this administrative stuff, two hour meetings […]
As per usual, these four day weeks are always busier than the usual five day package. Just seems like all the meetings and briefings and problems rear their heads at the office, along with more-intense-than-usual drama elsewhere. If the world cooperates, I’ll likely knock off a little early, though the world hasn’t cooperated so far, […]
As mentioned previously, this weekend is Marscon, and given that, I’m doing my usual Friday post on Thursday in order to get it out of the way, because I’ll have things to do tomorrow; even if I did take a long weekend, which I damned well deserved. Definitely deserved it because this has been one […]
Not a whole lot of note to report regarding the week; it just sort of was. Couple of things of note, however… Woke up this morning to the encouraging headline that both houses of Congress have passed the omnibus spending bill six months into the fiscal year, so we won’t have to deal with continuing […]
