Decided to take the ol' professional site for an actual spin to see if I can make anything of it.
Just wait. This time next month, I'll be a LinkedIn influencer posting memes about how people don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad managers.
Because that trope hasn't been rehashed a million times yet.
I’ve been listening to the Stone Temple Pilots discography beginning to end over the course of the past few days.
Currently wrapping up No. 4. I remember being so excited about this album when it came out back in 1999. It brought back the heavy roots of STP after the poppy glam rock feel of Tiny Music three years earlier, though not fully departing from it (see Church on Tuesday, e.g.).
Listening to it now, 25 years after its release (holy shit), I hear the album for what it is — a failed attempt to regain the commercial success the band once had in the mid-90s. Unfortunately, between Scott Weilands legal and drug issues, and a music scene that mostly left grunge behind, they never were able to recover.
As I type this, the next album, Shangri-La Dee Da (such a ridiculous name), has started, and from the get-go, I’m feeling the nostalgia that the hard-core fan of the band in me had when it was released in 2001. But, again, in hindsight I can only hear it as the dying gasp of a band that I adored and followed diligently (and to many of my friends, annoyingly — sorry about that) for so many years. This album is where my love affair with STP ended.
The next three albums will be an interesting listen. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to any of them in their entirety.
The weekends are great, but the inner child in me still wants to stay up late, which is a problem because the adult in me still wakes up early, which results in my weekend leaving me more exhausted come Monday due to inadequate sleep.
Somehow federation seems to be broken and I can't figure out why. The settings all seem to be right on the back end, but I'm not seeing the posts when I follow @eb@blog.jabooty.org from Mastodon.
Thoughts? Hit me up on Mastodon if you have any ideas.
Rewatched one of my fave movies tonight — Garden State, written and directed by Zach Braff. I haven't watched it in years, and after all this time, it still holds up.
Good luck exploring the infinite abyss, everyone.

I am equal parts proud, scared, and embarrassed that the purple category came to me so easily today.
Tiny post.
That's it. That's the post.
Decided to start working on my CAC Certification this weekend. Pretty fast progress. Might actually finish by Sunday. #ProfessionalDevelopment #CompAnalyst
Picked up two expansion packs for our Villainous games tonight.
Played a couple rounds of Twisted Ambitions, both times I played as Kang the Conqueror while Pam played as Doctor Octopus. Pam won both times. Overall, a good expansion.
I have spent the last 4 hours trying to work out the CSS to make jabloggy (a wholly-owned subsidiary of jabooty.org) look like you see it now.
There's still a few bugs I need to work out, but it's 2 a.m. and I really should be in bed.
