@LWFlouisa Feelin' my growth-rings right now, to be sure.

@gebargel
Yeah, those are pretty reliable talking points.

Do y'all have integration problems in your $COUNTRY? I live in a part of the US that is very close to Mexico so it's a constant topic here, but TBH I've not seen problems. What're happening to the refugees in your city?

When you start a throw-away conversation and all your pop-culture references are like minimum 30 years old.

@gebargel I'm definitely from the US, but I'm pretty shit at politics outside US/UK so fair is fair.

What's the single most important thing in politics in your corner of the globe rn?

@gebargel Yeah, that's how I'd call it. Pol Pot is my baseline for how shit shit can get. Like I've yet to encounter more shit than him, and honestly? I don't think I wanna.

And Ford was a sap, but honestly if we're gonna start prosecuting saps we're not gonna have anyone left.

If I may be so bold, I might suggest that he's Ollie North shit, but not Henry Kissinger shit. Custer, but not Jackson.

Am I making sense, or just blathering? Thots?

@gebargel Shit. Revealed myself as Old Guy. Hiding now! -_-

@gebargel
On a scale from Gerald Ford to Pol Pot, how shit was he?

@fiercebun Oh neat! I'm a big fan of scootering (Well until my Kymco got stole) and SU and Amateur Radio (But I'm not licensed yet.)

What a great combination of interests! Whadya ride? Are you licensed, and if so where do you hang out?

How many resumes do I frigging need for this job? I've a skills resume, and a CV, and now they want a damn traditional resume?

Oh, great. Careers page is now down.

Accountant: "You got your IDE in my financial software!"
Coder: "Well YOU got your financial software in my IDE!"

@eghhgh Everyone learns that lesson eventually, some quicker than others. :-D

My department is very documentation-positive so it's honestly a good thing, and putting together a flowchart will help get this guy up and running.

But boy-howdy, he sure is Green and Keen.

Today I was training one of the FNGs on a point of infrastructure.

Me: "So this leads to this which informs that, which informs this, yadda yadda yadda."

FNG: "Is there like a flowchart for this?"

Me: [ANTICIPATION INCREASING] "Nope! This is all from memory."

FNG: "There should really be a flowchart."

Me: "You're absolutely right! I look forward to seeing your documentation!"

FNG: "...I just volunteered, didn't I."

Me: "Send it to me for review before publishing, please."

@zachnfine
Welcome.

Stand, and be recognized.

I had a security briefing.

This is a thing that happens to people who do what I do.

But this is the first time that I (bullshit artist) has been entrusted with IMPORTANT THINGS. And predictably, it fucking sucks.

Goddammit, I knew the score but I never thought the bastards’d collect!

That’s my life in a summary. I’m in deep, and going deeper. I think I enjoy it. I’m reading a lot of Gene Kranz nowadays.

I am, despite all assumptions, a person on this planet who’s doing things.

Howdy.

@thefishcrow And it doesn't all look like this... There're parts of Abq that kinda remind me of Aspen.

<_<
>_>

Or, uh... Scottsdale. =P

But all the interesting stuff is south of Menaul, and west of the railroad tracks. The parts I live in. I'll take more photos of mi barrio tomorrow.

@thefishcrow Oh. Got it.

@thefishcrow

Is you? Am I being needlessly dense?

@thefishcrow I... do not know who dove is, but we do have plenty of doves in Burque. :-D

Masks y Mas, Nob Hill, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Froyo shop was playing golden era Hollywood caricature Looney tunes and blaring the Dead Milkmen. So much more interesting than another night at the bar.
