Technical debt is more like the national debt than a credit card. Nobody is ever going to pay it down, your only hope is to inflate it away.

Fixing someone else's mess will often take longer than just doing it yourself in the first place.

@sj My takeaway here is that losers are ungrateful.

"That's silly. Nobody here would make that mistake."

Given sufficient organizational size, the likelihood of any particular conceivable human error event occurring becomes non-trivial.

If you don’t mind me asking, how many top priorities do you have, exactly?

Anyone else feel like life could use a holodeck episode about now?

@Viss @mttaggart I didn’t use it much for the last year because I wasn’t cool enough. My “on topic” infosec material want a fit for happy hour over there. I’m giving it another shot again and hoping that with the influx of people, the culture will change a bit.

@horse I do love me some jazz and 12-bar blues!

@horse Power? My electricity is fine, but I’m exhausted. Stupid covid. 😭

I confused an LOL doll with an OMG doll this evening, and I’ll have you know that this is apparently the most egregious offense a dad can commit.

While I appreciate your honesty, I'd like to remind you that we are on the phone with the auditors.

I don’t know who keeps flipping my calendar pages over, but I sure wish they would stop.

Seriously, how is it the last week of June already?!

I really hate having to fix other people's crappy work.

@horse same!!

It is a joy to work with clients that are as responsive to me as I am to them. 😍

@horse indeed. ?

I can’t keep up with all these team colors. Anyone have a program I can borrow?

There are no “quick” naps.

@horse They are going to save me quite a bit of time when I'm trying to coordinate podcast episodes. Every episode, I have to send out the same set of emails to the guest-host and callers - over and over and over because they are different every episode... ??

I just discovered "quick parts" in Microsoft Outlook and my life will never be the same again.
