“Folks, I have no more desire to get through the rest of my life than I did to eat those pancakes. But I ate them, and the knowledge that I can keep going when all seems lost, that’s a great thing to acquire. Eating thirty pancakes - FIVE STARS”

Spent the week at a work conference. I normally WFH, so getting to see everyone in person was kinda nice. Got a flight delay going home - no big deal, but I’m anxious to get back home to my dogs and partner.

Not in a technical here - I’ve worked on jets and cars, have done retail management and now program management in the public sector. Though my dad was an electronic engineer in silicon valley in the '70s and '80s so our family adopted technology early and I learned to code very young, but tech stuff has remained a hobby rather than profession.
