Hmm.. overhearing the penetration testing guys talking about the security of one of their clients:

"Their network is *bridged* to the internet??!?!!"

I'm watching a couple of tech people working on a project that I've deliberately stayed out of, and it's reminding me of that classic Salvador Dali painting of two blindfolded dental hygienists trying to draw a circle on an Etch-A-Sketch.

The flying chairs were not seen by anyone outside of our room. I'm sure if the news made it to HR he would have to sit through a lecture about how office chairs are a protected class and we have to be sensitive to their well-being.

Well, today's commute sucked ass harder than usual.

Normally, my ass feels somewhat cleaner after the commute. But this morning, it feels downright sanitized, as if the traffic used anti-bacterial soap and a powerwash. I wish I could say that it has left me with that oh-so-fresh feeling, but somehow, these commutes have an opposite effect from what you might expect from a thorough ass-sucking.

Thanks for that lovely visual.

Well, Animal is back, at least for a bit, so I figured I might have competition.

Damn Fleeb.  Sorry you have to do that commute every day.  It is hit and miss with me as I only need to travel a couple days a week (and I pray for good weather an no crashes on the road).  I suppose vince-q knows of the right Saint to pray to for that.  I suppose it is Christopher, but I am not catholic...

I'm not Catholic, either.

But it's my fault I'm on this commute, heh.

Yup. It's St. Christopher (from the Greek 'Kristophoros' - Christ Bearer).

A former coworker has been hanging onto my new resume for "the right time."
This was apparently last week, as he notified me that it now graces the desk of the right VP who is behind a push to add a work role that would suit my particular talents and experience. We shall see.

It's a good day :)

Hmm...

I've been added to another project that is similar to what I've been working on, but a tad different.

I've never worked on a project with so much documentation and so little code.
It's remarkable.

I took a class in college about how to avoid writing code. At least it seemed that way. Reams of useless documentation and planning while not writing code.
Ugh.

I think part of the problem here is that the government is involved. They want to know precisely what they're getting before it's written.

It's like the government completely screws up the software development process that works everywhere else because, y'know, it's the government.

Good for you IG.  Fleeb, documentation can go both ways, but you already know that.  I hope it is down the yellow brick road.
