Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So our security department just said that NBC.com got severely hacked today, and the site will be blocked until further notice. Anybody heard about this and know any details?

Yeah, DH was dealing with this last week when TWOP got hit, and now other NBC properties are being targeted as well - everyone over there has had their computers scrubbed and they have this insanely complicated new secure login system to make sure the network is locked down. It's been a total PITA for everyone involved.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

All day in MS Project. My brain is melting out of my ears. I just realized it is 2:30 and I haven't put a bra on yet. I'm on my last set of adjustments and of course this is the most tedious set.

Ok, forced break time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What was also nice was walking from my car to the office today, a lovely woman stopped me to tell me she thought I looked really totally put together and awesome. Total stranger!

Oh, that happened to me once! I was at a random drugstore, wearing an old sweater, and the clerk gushed over how put-together I looked, apparently because my sweater and my headband were the same shade of fuchsia.

I also recall once telling someone how put-together and classy she always looked, and she blinked at me and laughed and said, "I have chicken poo on my pants right now!"

Cargo pants. I'm just saying.

Phone in back pocket, wallet in other back pocket, lip balm in front pocket, keys in other front pocket, sunglasses on head. I am glad I don't have anything else I need to carry. Hand lotion, wet wipes, water bottle, kleenex, and inhaler are in a thermos bag in the glove compartment.

Also hoping you are wrong, Sophia.

At the team's meeting tonight CJ received his shield.

That's fantastic!

Oh my god husband wants to plan to drive a giant U-haul to Texas. I won't make it there alive.

Having driven giant U-Hauls up and down the East Coast, I say (1) it's not that bad but you can't go as fast as you think you can, and (2) hire movers if you can.

Thanks Zen - regarding CJ. To add to the mommy bragging. Right now he is the only non-command staff member to have a shield. They are losing some seargents after graduation, so maybe he will become a team officer. Who knows!

Ok, bra on. I'm wearing shorts and a tank top while there is 3-5 inches of snow outside. And my heater isn't cranked.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I drove a giant U-Haul truck from San Francisco to Chicago. While pulling a big old Mercury. It was fun.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

In my life I have never heard of choosing office space this way.

le n, was that in response to my real estate math problem? Yeah, I have no idea what's going on. I was running the space search for a while last year, but my straight ahead and logical approach was apparently all wrong, so my boss is dealing with it now. Coordinating with a couple other non-profits to share space, so maybe that's where this is coming from? Maybe I should have asked why exactly she wanted the info, but I'm long past actually caring.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That would make a little more sense.

but I'm long past actually caring.

Though that makes the most sense of all.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I do not understand storing phones in the bra. A car key or roll of cash in the cleavage, sure, but my phone? Does not fit there, and not because of inadequate boobage or lack of trying (pretty sure Tom Scola has photos of me attempting that feat at the last F2F and totally failing). plus I'm really not happy at the idea of an expensive piece of electronics being subjected to the humidity of mah boobies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

IT security is the only section of IT that I know jackshit about and am curious as hell about. I watched a friend create his entire security career and transition from below my pay grade to above, and I still can't work out how I'd do it. We do get some free training software courses, and I'm at least taking the security-related ones there, because it just looks like magic.

Completely unrelated to the Security Director job opening at my company, but the frequency with which that position is open makes me even more curious about what sort of stuff they know.
