So, periodontal surgery last week went off without a hitch; got the gums slashed and stitched, and after the first eighteen hours or so which hurt like hell, the pain’s been very manageable. I’m a little tired of the industrial plastic taste from the dressings installed around the sutures, and am growing rather weary of […]

Been a hell of a week all around. Don’t feel like talking about it. Here’s what Spotify spit out this morning while I’ve been doing my best to smile through the despair That’s a link, btw, to a track from my quick-and-dirty bandcamp release of fawm two-track demos – the whole six-track record may be […]

This weekend was something of a struggle; I know you all know this – if you’ve been reading, you’ve been watching my downfall in real-time. Friday’s work wasn’t terrible, though I was just kind of numb. They dropped one of those Friday bombshells in the morning; a new agency manual for my corner of the […]

I’ll be honest, I’ve been struggling this week. My boss has been out a couple of days for a well-deserved break, and as her designated emergency out-of-office reply contact, I’ve been putting out a few fires in between all the business case review meetings and getting awfully frustrated with the way that our re-alignment of […]

Objectively, this weekend was largely successful and productive. I addressed a lot of regular #adulting responsibilities, stayed in line with my fitness objectives (weather permitting), managed a relatively successful family outing, did some preparatory work for my previously mentioned brewery gig in a couple of weeks, and even managed to book two more music gigs […]

Putting this one up today because it’s Veteran’s Day (due respect, folks…) tomorrow and I have the day off, and plan on not staring at a computer all day if I can help it.

For the last couple of months, our program management center leadership team has been working on establishing more codified processes to get requirements properly managed, documented, and satisfied. Before we started this, there frankly wasn’t much of a process, which kind of pisses off auditors when they come in to look at things. So, this […]

This is hardly the first time I’m saying it, but it’s honestly been too much week, professionally, personally, mentally, and emotionally. I sit here on a Friday morning at 7am after clearing the inbox of overnight crises, with slightly over my official forty on the books. I do plan on knocking off a bit early […]
