How is it as rarely as I go to the movies these days when I do the theater is nearly empty and you pick your assigned seat, and someone always picks the seat immediately next to me?

Other than the dude talking to the movie and muttering “that’s cool” after every trailer I liked the new ghostbusters

Binging the early 2000's show Veronica Mars, haven't seen it since it first aired.
Season 2 finale (2006)... Veronica and her father talking about packing for their post season trip to NYC, "... and pepper spray, in case we run into that Trump character."

Woke up this morning and my big toe was hurting out of the blue and reminds me of having gout which I haven't had in a handful of years. If it still hurts in the morning I'll hit up urgent care to get some fresh meds, but the pain is pretty isolated to the top of my toe, and I attempted running yesterday. It isn't the willing to cut my toe off with a rusty, dull spoon to make it go away that I remember.

I'm 99% sure the job offer I just received is a scam. Back in Feb I applied to an IT security consultant company via their website, and the last few days I was contacted by someone allegedly doing their screening. After receiving and returning a questionnaire I was offered the job without an interview with terms that were too good to be real. I found a random person with an appropriate sounding title on LinkedIn and they are responding to my inquiry.

Not that I'm a "watch the oscar nominated movies" person but I was intrigued by "Poor Things" since I like most of the cast. Interesting movie but learn from my mistake, this is not a movie to watch with your parents or children 😂

We did it! Bad manager announced that he is leaving

This week will be interesting, had a couple of emails for phone interviews. Also had a cold call for a somewhat local (30min away) consultation place that is looking for a cyber security team lead. I'm intrigued but was looking for 100% remote and they're 100% onsite. I'm still intrigued.

This is not a single incident. He blew through any good will with the team 2 days after he was hired and everyone hates him.

Been on the job hunt as a result, and fortunately someone from one of my other groups got a promotion and reached out to several people he is hoping to poach to his new team. I'm one of them.

Damn my manager is such a useless waste of space. I've never worked for someone that got upset because you see something that needs to get done and does it.

The one today is, "I want everyone to clear their task of stale tickets this is to acknowledge that you looked at them." Mine are related to delayed projects half will be done next week, other half by end of March and due to age they vanished from my queue.

Instead of using that task as my checklist he wants me to log them separately

Last week was an amazing week in Costa Rica considering it was frigid cold back home. This week I'm suffering the consequences, had a little sniffle and cough so been testing myself every day since returning and it looks like i have the souvenir covid.

Had my virtual doc appt, paxlovid is ready for pickup, but I'm not sure if I'll use it. Going through waves of stuffy head and coughing, body and head aches. Breathing fine except when my unsympathetic dog makes me take him for walks.

Two months ago I randomly chose a week to choose to go on vacation to Costa Rica. I got back from that week yesterday. Little did I know that was going to be the same week that back home was going to get hit by an arctic blast and be the most perfect week to go someplace warm

Got a random text from one of those political lists you get added to... they are looking for people to run for local offices. Not interested in a job where 90% is begging for money to keep it.

The annual holiday, "what are we doing for our family get-together" silent text thread.
I see my siblings and their kids often enough, but its the other two that don't because of kids and schedules, but somehow they still expect me to attend for the stuffing our faces again and sitting around watching netflix. Not doing anything meaningful again.
Also pointing this out makes me the jerk, as does saying "you guys communicate and figure something out, I end up doing it every year and am done"

Ugh, new manager is making a 5th calendar to track time on that duplicates but doesn't remove the need to use 3 other ones plus adds a level of micromanaging under the guise of "stop stolen work time". I'm not seeing a red flag, I'm seeing a red ribbon banner that stretches across the field, and I'm not the only one.

Never fails, gave managers new computers yesterday and 2 of them asked me for assistance, the 3rd was too busy. Today I WFH and the 3rd is now setting up the computer. Who do you think gets the call for help? Any of the handful of other people in the office with him who can see what he is doing, or me who is working remotely and "remote viewing isn't working" for?

I still got it! Got my cousin’s business’ label printer circa 2011, still running windows 7 and pretty much stuck on the welcome screen working and updating to win 10. All it took was a ssd and disabling/removing a bunch of crap his ex installed for her kids

Just completed the SQL Injection chapter of my certification. That was rough. I'm going to need to go back at some point because I overly relied on an automatic tool that happened to work, although very slow, and I'm going to learn other ways of doing the attacks

My PLP says I was here since Nov 2017, and I think I was in the first day or so. Stats say over 2300 posts, which that is exponentially more than all other social media sites combined for all time for me... as long as you don't count Discord as one.
