A few days ago I had a dream where I was at a party and some girl, that I never knew anything about except that she likes me told me I was overdressed. It just occurred to me that she meant she wanted to do the deed. Stuff like this has happened before too like when something happens in my dream, perhaps a word is used, a word I've never heard about, and when I search it up after waking up, it's been used correctly. I guess there's a lot of stuff my brain knows that it doesn't tell me. Maybe if I could access all that information I wouldn't be so fucking stupid.
… then, instead, deleting all my apps in a frenzy of self-disgust.
*I know this might come off as self-pitying, but I’m aware my isolation is largely self-chosen (even if my extreme hypersensitivity isn’t) and when all else fails I do try to find humor in my own ridiculousness and the ridiculousness of existing at all.
Still, maybe I should serve as a cautionary tale to you younger people.
Me: ok time for bed
My brain: Sheryl Trainor died of cancer and the main treatment for cancer is radiation therapy so because he’s radioactive, if Larry had still been around he could have probably saved her.
Me: wtf no
wanna hang out and eat pizza or something idk
This is a tale of network admins, sys admin, developers, and infosec bros who all tried to flex for a C suite and ended up falling on their asses. No need to epic tales today. No embellishments. No dramatic pauses. Today I am simply going to retell the tale of how my brain got flipped right up side down.
Bright and early at 8 AM a request comes in to have the paper replaced in an MFP. Now why the person didn't just replace it themselves? That is beneath them...
Well anywho someone else in the office replaced the paper with one from the counter. Problem solved so I closed the ticket.
Thirty minutes ago a ticket was directly assigned to me and I was told to resolve the issue.
At 8:32 AM a C suite sent out an email to the ITALL email group that her printer was suddenly printing strange characters. Every single paper she printed had the same strange characters.
At 8:42 notes were left in the ticket by the VP over IT that he redid the printer drivers and reinstalled citrix onto her machine. It still happened.
At 9:03 AM the C suite responded back that several people in the office were reporting the same issue. Strange characters on the print job.
At 9:12 the deskside team reported that they replaced the laptop unit for the C suite person as a test and it failed.
At 9:35 the system admin reported that he had gone in and verified that there was nothing malicious in the network connection.
At 10 AM the ticket was forwarded to purchasing to have the printer replaced. A purchase order was prepared and sent off for authorization to the CIO. He took one look at it and decided to work on the printer himself.
At 11:32 AM the ticket was forwarded to the citrix engineers team to see what was wrong with the citrix server. Everyone was printing the same strange characters and it must be an issue with the citrix environment.
At 12:05 a note was left by a citrix engineer who reported that the citrix environment is not causing it. They printed to another printer in the building and it did not print the special characters they are seeing. He forwarded it back to purchasing.
At 12:45 it was forwarded to CIO who instantly forwarded it onto the support team. It was auto assigned to me by my boss who told me to just get it fixed. No reason to replace a > $1k printer over something like this.
I email one of the people and ask them to email me back a picture of what the special characters look like.
At 1:09 PM an audible "Oooooh.... MY GOD!!!" Can be hea

Maybe I’m just not the targeted audience for this book name, but I don’t want my say, renowned shadow assassin helmet to have “Big Brain V” on it. Like yeah it’s a funny joke, but I like my armor having more sleek nice names and not some meme on it.
Also I scuffed up the no part of the vote, my bad it’s supposed to say “No, I like...”
