I bring this up because I had a particularly bad auto immune flare recently and as I'm coming out of it I can feel myself slipping into that same "no time for your shenanigans" mindset.

I'm tempted to joke: "hey great, maybe I'll get another promotion. I could use more money," but really I'm concerned that my poor behavior resulting from a disease was somehow construed as good leadership. The fact my being a grade-a ass was somehow seen as a positive explains a lot about that job.

When I was first diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder I was placed on a crash diet that reduced my food intake to simply meat and vegetables. No coffee. And certainly no more cigarettes.

I was an incredible grouch for the first month or so, and I started telling my co-workers just what I thought of their (terrible) ideas.

Weirdly this prompted my boss' boss to promote me, stating: "I've never seen this kind of leadership from you before."

I picked up #guildball as an early birthday present. Neat game. I really like the system, and it plays pretty quickly once you get it down.

I just can't help thinking the background would be a lot more interesting if the soccer matches were impromptu unofficial games held by rival gangs instead of organized play that determines a guilds political influence. Like West Side Story but with soccer.

I think its a Yussef Kamaal kind of day.

I may be an old man who just lost the plot, but - wait, what?

Ha, #gitlab is so slow right now. I wonder how many projects are currently making the switch from #github?

Dirtside II is still the superior 6mm sci-fi wargame. Fight me on it. #epic #dirtside #6mm #scifi #wargames

I visited an old friend this weekend who brought up the simply stupid amount of GW Epic we used to play in the second edition days. I haven't thought about (or wanted to play) that game in years, but now it's all I can think about...

Oh good. Donald Trump tweets in the federated timeline...

It was a nice fedverse we used to have here...
