Good morning. I'm not sure why I'm up at 6 am on a Saturday.

Overheard at dinner:
I love warm spoons.

Trying hard to keep a straight face.

I just banged my head on Bob Jovi. And that is not something I thought I would ever be saying

This is the strangest GPS glitch I've seen. For whatever reason Google thinks I spent lunch Wednesday flying to a random spot in the northern Pacific and then home, roundtrip time of 54 minutes. Weird.

Is therapeutic software engineering a thing?
Cause I just got out of a really stressful meeting, fixed a problem with a server that I didn't have to do, and now feel a little better.

I just stopped myself a heartbeat away from pouring cold, unfrothed milk directly into freshly pulled espresso.
That's clearly an indication that some is not quite right today.

Just realized that Saturday was my 22nd work anniversary for the current job. It feels just as insane today as it did when I started, 5 companies and a dozen or so positions ago (but still the same job).
And I've only thought about quitting twice today. Well maybe once. The thinking about quitting kinds of runs all together anymore.

At 01:30, is this the 5th espresso for Thursday or the first espresso for Friday? And why am I still working?

For whatever reason I just asked my wife to pick up a loaf of milk and a gallon of bread.

I am not in the mood to make coffee right now. And this is clearly an indication that I need to make coffee.

Suddenly everything is dust and feathers and dead flowers.

Me, picking up my son 2 years ago during a bad thunderstorm: Now hurry it up, kiss the girl and pray Zeus is a bad shot.

At least the offshore person in was chatting with now feels the need to go watch Stand By Me, because I thought it was important.
That can't be a bad thing, right?

I just used "poking a dead body with a stick" vs "reading the autopsy report" as a metaphor to describe why logs after an event are not always enough.
I'm either having a tough morning or I'm a horrible human being.
I can work with either.
And honestly, I think it's the later because I blamed @wilw because he's been all over my news feed recently (objectively a good thing) and I had Stand By Me in my head because if it.

Well seems the problem was easier than they thought. ISP estimate was originally 5-6 hours. Actually only took about 45 minutes total.
I guess I should log that as a successful fail over and fail back test.
Now to go plug all the chatty things back in.

Having to run the home network off a mobile data plan cause the ISP is having an outage and teacher wife has work to get done.
Pray for my data plan.

Right now the appropriate thing to.do seems to be to go get eggs and margaritas.
Because of reasons.

My mobile just popped up a notification and the vibration was enough to make the device unplug itself and slide down the desk.
Now I think I've seen everything.
