Yes. I'm not keen on it as a drink, and it makes me voraciously hungry for pancakes.

A little freshly ground black pepper adds a lot to the frying eggs. 🍳

And I just discovered by biting into one that my breakfast sausage is something unexpected. These are "brown sugar & honey" flavoured IMPOSTER breakfast sausages, not the plain & unflavoured ones I had expected. FML.

Well, that was fun. 😑 A can of Coke Zero fell out of the fridge, then developed a line of pinhole leaks across one side. It then rocket-propelled itself across the kitchen, spraying Coke onto me and every available surface. This day is not starting well.

The sun is trying to kill me. The joke is on it though: the sun will be gone in 10 billion years, but I plan to still be here. 😆 Honestly, I've already had one skin cancer removed this year so I'm happy to stay fish-belly white.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

Just paid an installment of property tax on our house. I get the necessity of paying taxes and we do get platinum services for our money, but that's 750 medium chocolate sundaes I now can't buy self-indulgently. 💸

Sorry I'm late, I had to reorganize the shopping carts in the grocery store's corral.

Yup! The injection site is typically sore for the next day or two... I couldn't bear both arms were aching at the same time! 😄

Last week, I managed to reach £55/200, but all of that has now been spent and I have a couple of overdue bills that I really need to pay to avoid my internet and phone being cut off, plus some more for milk and something to go with the mashed potato I have in my fridge. Can anyone help?

Exactly. He's asked me not to make it quite so obvious, but he understands I'm in retirement countdown mode & wishes we could swap places.

I was just reminded: I plan to retire one year from today. I may push out the actual date to Dec 31, 2027, if work projects require it, but the working goal currently is Sept 1.

I've finished diversifying my retirement accounts away from AI bubble companies & their related suppliers. The entire AI industry may now go to hell at its earliest convenience.

My saving grace is that I'm migrating at convenience, as opposed to replacing a lost or broken phone. I can still use the old one for MFA as long as needed, it's just inconvenient.

Anyway, I have servers to rebuild so I should get on with that. BTW, my boss says he suspects I've mentally checked out of work. Apparently the give-away was me literally putting "Brian Actively Procrastinating" as a task into the project plan, pushing the finish line out by two weeks. Huh.

Fortunately, the new otterbox arrives today. This hell device has been living dangerously since Saturday, and both its nerves & mine are shot from the numerous near-death experiences. Srsly, who decided mobile phones and concrete surfaces could coexist in this timeline?!

This stupid fragile electronic device has deeply insinuated itself into my life. You'd think something this important would have grip surfaces, but nope, it's like holding a greasy ferret: one moment of distraction and it's gone. Raw-dogging a mobile phone never ends well.

Just today, I've finished the real headaches: I had to manually redo all Bluetooth pairings, Google Pay configs, work-related MFA apps, etc.. I look forward to retiring so I can ditch Okta, Duo, Slack, Jira, PagerDuty & Outlook entirely.

Migtrating my Google account & data was easy: it just took a half-hour to copy all my accounts, pics, txt messages, and apps. I need to re-login/re-auth on each app though, but the critical ones are completed: Bsky, Uber, Lyft, Chipotle. You know, the ones you need in an emergency.
