I was bummed this morning because someone was in my usual morning seat. And I get that this isn&#8217;t school, there are no assigned seats&#8230;but if that&#8217;s not my seat, whose assprint is that?<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re off to a much better start to the week, despite being on the wrong end of this train car. I feel altogether healthy, and ready to get to work. I&#8217;m ready to start working with ZenDone and see if it&#8217;s the answer or not. I&#8217;m cautiously optimistic about it.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of feeling altogether healthy, I wonder if I can convince myself to do this all the time, like a reverse hypochondria. Might save more sick leave that way.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sad to report the loss of 0.201 bitcoin, which probably happened in 2013. I didn&#8217;t care when they were $17\/BTC. Now that they&#8217;re at about $450\/BTC it&#8217;s an irritation. That&#8217;s 90 bucks, man. If I&#8217;d bothered to keep mining I&#8217;d probably have a couple thousand dollars from it. I did cash out some Dogecoin, about six bucks worth. I&#8217;m on to a new cryptocurrency, Ethereum. I&#8217;m gonna stay with it this time. Every time I&#8217;ve gotten into mining, I&#8217;ve backed a good horse. The currency appreciated in value. And if I had bothered to stay with it, I&#8217;d have more money than I have now for roughly the same amount of work.<\/p>\n<p>My presentation on the new file server infrastructure is finished up and approved by the sysadmin that&#8217;s actually going to be in charge of building the thing. I think we&#8217;ve got a good handle on how it&#8217;s going to go. It&#8217;s gotta go to the other managers now. This is their first time seeing me present an idea of my own outside of my second job interview with them. All I can say is that this wasn&#8217;t born out of one panicked planning session. This has been over two months of research, test labs, and discussion. It&#8217;s a good plan. It&#8217;s gotta support the whole agency for at least five years, it had better be a good plan. I&#8217;ve gotta live with the results for at least five years, it had better be a really, really good plan.<\/p>\n<p>One day I might write about why I seem to be drawn to music with lyrics that are generally nonsensical (or &#8220;deep&#8221; if you want to justify their existence) but right now it sounds like the sort of pseudo-intellectual navel-gazing that makes me want to slap the shit out of 16-year old me. Maybe I just don&#8217;t want to think too hard. They don&#8217;t generally get the scrutiny they deserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think we&#8217;re all creatures of habit, when you get down to it.
