Just finished filing taxes. TurboTax asked how likely I was to recommend them to a friend. My response was:

"Come on now, nobody recommends tax software to their friends. This is a service that should be provided free by the government. Since it isn't and we have to pay one way or another, sure, I used your service but I am not going to champion it"

Has anyone had a single positive vendor interaction recently?! Fighting a switch issue and the troubleshooting has been next to nothing while putting all the onus on us for replacement. Apparently, all 25 devices and their network cables may be the issue - but not the switch! Send help😂

So I did what I always knew I would do and waited until the last year of my #CISSP renewal to get most of my #CPEs done. What is everyone's go-to for getting CPEs that are useful without spending a ton of money. I know about the included BrightTalk ones but looking for other alternatives.

Almost finished with Radicalized by Cory Doctorow and it has been a great ride. Really interesting all of the different ways of interpreting “radicalized” and all of these are spot on.

Recently started using a CPAP. This is peak male form 😂
Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I slept this good. My sleep study was almost 50 incidents/hour and now I am down to 2.

I haven’t been around much lately. Everything is just A LOT and most of my feee time has gone to #bauldersgate3

How y’all doing?

When dreams become more important than reality, you give up travel, building, creating; you even forget how to repair the machines left behind by your ancestors. You just sit living and reliving other lives left behind in the thought records.

#StarTrek has always been good at asking us to look at ourselves.

Why are we not suing the student loan services for. Isolating our religious rights to debt forgiveness?

We want to act like a theocracy until it comes to money. #studentloanforgiveness

It’s time to end the school resource officer program. They don’t have to protect our kids and they will hold things they do at school against them criminally.

Process I suddenly have to support at work is going poorly. Boss asked what plan B is if it doesn't work out.

My response:
Rent a villa in Cuba under the name Jonathan Abernathy, fake my death, use the insurance money to buy a condo somewhere in Croatia?
Take over the facebook account of an existing J.A., change a couple details to match the backstory of a day trader who hit it big on GameStop stock and decided life is too short to not see the world. I can be known for a particular watch that I will wear always - and insist on retelling the story of how I won it off of Eddie Murphy in a poker game - but he probably won't remember because it he was busy doing the voice acting for Donkey in Shrek at the time......

So yeah, how's YOUR Friday going?

This is why I will always love #StarTrek
These were the ethos behind it and it shows through. #SciFi #DEI #Diversity

I am absolutely bawling right now listening to this amazing news that #DamarHamlin is awake, writing, and even asked if they won the game. UC Medical team is amazing.

This is amazing news. He is not out of the woods but this is a great step!

I'm officially out.
Twitter was great to me at one point but I'm not going to contribute to the DAU counts or deal with either of these ego maniacs anymore. I really do like it better here. I wish Elon a very merry go to hell.
