I hadn't even been back at work for 3 hours before my watch complained about an elevated heart rate 😅

Still dying, but dying far less. Tamiflu is a godsend. Looks like I'll be back to full health in time to head back to work 😑 Bloody typical...

Yeah, that getting sick while on leave? Just did a RAT test. Flu A. God fucking dammit... 😑😒

On leave - yay! Back from mini-getaway at Noosa - boo. Have internet again - yay! Got sick while on leave - boo. Getting to watch GDQ - yay! Hearing of all the folks impacted at work - HUGE fucking boo. This time of year is always filled with dread now. And I hate it. 😞

For the folks at BSides Brisbane - hope you all have a blast and sorry I can't be there with you this year! Make sure you have a drink in my honour later tonight! 💜

I'm on leave now...and I don't know what to do with myself...this is so disconcerting. O.o

The moment you realise your leave lines up PERFECTLY with SGDQ, without you planning it 😏

For those following along - when I got repurpled on Saturday, they didn't do an amazing job of cleaning off the excess purple (known hazard). So I had to do some cleanup at home...and I'm pretty sure I've now got friction burns on the backs of both my ears 🤣

Last day of the FY and my brain has melted - know when you look at a word so often it no longer makes sense and just looks funny? Yeah... there's now a bunch of words like that for me. Brain recognises all the letters but the words just look...*WEIRD*.

Because nothing says "exciting" like reviewing changes to the Essential 8 😅 No, really...this is what my entire day is going to be today...send coffee and chocolate.

I couldn't help myself - but as an Aussie, who's kiddo grew up on Bluey when it first came out, I HAD TO HAVE THIS SET! (It's this one - www.lego.com/en-au/p...)

One thing I think is that fun little word games should just fuck with you sometimes.

Such purple. So shiny. 💜😍✨

Today is a good day. Why, you ask? Today is... THE REPURPLING! 💜 For those new to the repurpling, this is when all my ✨sparkles✨ (aka insane grey regrowth) is brought into the purple fold. Stay tuned for results!

I feel everyone needs to marvel at the gloriousness of Miss Rosalina aka Rosie the Gremlin. All beauty, zero brains, savage as fuck. Do not let the prettiness fool you - she WILL eat your face.

Super proud mum moment today - attending kiddos sports day (laptop in hand, so I could still get work done!) and seeing kiddo come second in her 200m heat...and then FIRST in her 100m heat, and make the finals. So bloody proud! 🥹🥰💜

money can't buy happiness means rich people can't shortcut to inner-peace by buying it, not that it's okay that regular people constantly have to find new ways to do with even less

As a Lego puritan, I'm a bit conflicted...I have a non-Lego flowers set and it's really lovely and I feel so guilty! But it's so PRETTY! 😍

Monday. 9 business days until I'm on leave...not that I'm counting or anything. >.>

If someone asks me how I'm going, I'm literally just sticking with the Norwegian "Up and not crying" these days, because....look, if that's the best I can manage, I call it a win.

Other folks 40+ - is being tired just a part of living now? Will I perpetually be half-zombie?

Spent the day cleaning out my garage, then playing video games, and will be finishing up with a bit of Lego building. All in all, a productive Sunday!

Nothing says "Good parenting" like a nastygram about the amount of Robux you've bought your kid in the last month 😅

When I deny a request from MS Authenticator, I want to be able to attach a reason - which would then be subsequently sent back to the mf trying to sign into my account. I'd love to be able to tell them to fk off and E.A.D. Can someone make this happen pls? 🥺

Wooooooo! @hacks4pancakes.com on stage and KILLING IT!

Wooooooo! @hacks4pancakes.com on stage and KILLING IT!

So pleased that's now done and dusted! 45 minute slot was closer to 30 😅 got through it all, but had to rush the ending 😭

Heading down the Gold Coast as we speak for #AusCERT - speaking (Again! I know! I don't know why they keep having me back either!) tomorrow morning. Hoping folks are entertained but also take something away. I'm a big fan of giving homework!

If there were any expectations of any kind of accountability for anything, a security fuckup of this magnitude (a repo called “Private-CISA”!) would be a massive administration-wide scandal, inspire congressional hearings, and cost many their jobs.
