    Today I convinced a client to dump their incumbent provider and sign with the org I work for.

    Got another client to agree to a full security audit.

    And a 3rd one to let us do their cyber security insurance.

    Big wins for a Monday. Sadly positive feedback is non-existent here. Ah well.

        Exactly. I’ve got a few options in my back pocket this time. The stress of an organisation controlling whether or not I can continue to have somewhere to live is too much stress.

    I was juggling shopping bags and my heavy backpack on one shoulder arriving home earlier when the backpack slipped off my shoulder and landed directly on my big toe.

    Screams of anguish followed, my god it hurt like hell. Worst part is over and I’m icing my toe.

      When that happens to me, I start quickly repeating “worstpartisover worstpartisover”. I think it helps.

        You can choose whatever else that may suit. I choose sugar because that’s the easiest for me. After a week I choose something else to add to my no diet. And so forth.

        I have mini stroopwafels that will have to wait now.

            I’m not doing it for lent, just taking a break from cheese. I had a crack at veganism last year but I really like eggs, and a bunch of online vegans are total cocks about it.

          the list goes on 😟

          I have replaced much with oat milk , cakes etc are now made with oil, I eat a lot of vegan stuff now as it’s safe

          I just had a homemade coconut milk and berry ice treat

    I’m sometimes a bit sad that my mother was not good at making salads and I grew up thinking of them as boring garnishes on the side of the plate. Now that I’ve mastered the art of combining ingredients and creating nice dressings salads are often my favourite part of a meal. A waste of all those years I could have been eating salads if only I’d realised sooner!

          Upstairs at the NGV is free and quiet-ish. Careful talking to the attendants, I made a joke with one about the exit signs and he wouldn’t stop talking to me even as I was walking away saying “thanks, thanks”.
