BTW, I don’t do content warnings. Followers beware. :)

This was one very unhappy idler pulley. It has now been replaced with a happier one. :)

I’ve gotten spoiled by SSDs and had managed to forget how slow spinning disks are.

Wow my autocorrect was on a roll this morning.

Stolen from the tweetbox. If you’re a #startrek fan this is hysterical! https://imgur.com/t/funny/F3OYfTU

I would love to see a Big Lebowski spinoff center on Walter Sobachek. I would totally watch that.

I'm not terribly motivated this morning so I have been half assing my work tasks while unsubscribing from promotional emails.

I took the day off today because I have more comp time and PTO[1] than I know what to do with. I’m making great use of Do Not Disturb on my phone so far.

[1] This could be because I never really remember to put PTO into the system for approval. :P

Update: Against my cynical guesses, this is turning out fantastic. My wife loves it and has taken to Trello like a fish to water. Highly recommended!

I swear to god if I hear "Because that's the way we have always done it" again I'm going to start screaming.

I've adopted Kanban for personal tasks. I'm also inviting my wife to participate.

This should be fun.

Nifty, I live in the richest city in the US. I'm glad the Census Bureau could tell me that. The huge premium on *everything* wasn't an indicator. /s

Tried to change the oil on my Jeep today since it has 243k miles and I haven't changed the oil in ~20k miles. I was stymied by the oil drain plug, which made me feel lame until my lovely wife was kind enough to drive it to the oil change place, where they had to spend five minutes with an air impact wrench getting it off. =)

New task for the list: Setup inline oiler on the compressor so I can use my air impact wrench.

Azure Network Security Groups are weird.
