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. This week’s been, well, not bad, but eventful. Been a little foggy after Tuesday’s dental stuff (no lingering pain, but less-than-awesome […]

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 […]

I maybe kinda don’t know what to do with myself when folks aren’t around. As indicated previously, two of us have been out of town for the long weekend, and the others that are are home are living their own lives, so I’ve been left largely to my own devices for the last few days. […]

If one were given to wallow in cliche, absence, they say, makes the heart grow fonder. Honestly, though, based on the stats, mostly don’t think anybody much cares. Apart from a couple of playlist posts the last couple of weeks, I’ve been largely absent from this space. And if I’m absent, pretty much everybody’s absent; […]

Still too much life; memos, insurance, horrific news (and our unfortunate numbness to it as a nation), insomnia, graduations and transitions, bizarre requests, and a whole bunch of rain. I’m exhausted. I fell asleep before 7pm last night watching the new Chip n’ Dale’s Rescue Rangers movies on the couch. Yeah. Here’s a list of […]

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, […]

Marscon is, indeed, happening this coming weekend. I am, as always, looking forward to it, as I get to play music for people who like listening to it, and see friends I don’t see all that often. That said, there’s a little bit of apprehension on my part, due to some drama surrounding a last […]

Much has been made of the stories of the current conflict resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: Zelenskyy’s masterful social media management; the stories of bravery from Ukrainian citizens, Putin’s seemingly unhinged state of mind. Americans missing the effing point… It’s interesting, that for, perhaps the first time since WWII, certainly the first time in […]

If I look back at the calendar and tally all the stuff I clearly got done, it’s obvious there was a weekend, but damn if I’m not having a bit of a difficult time feeling like I had two days away from my desk and all the usual office weirdness of making sure the data […]
