Them: so.. *head tilt* how are you doing? Goblin me: PUNCH THEM IN THE NECK!! LOL. Anyway. I’ll save y’all from having to ask. Laying flat on my back my pain is at a 0. BUT I can’t sleep when I’m flat on my back. On my side the incisions burns and I can kind of sleep. That’s a 2-3…

Friday Five – Rube Goldberg Machine
1. Work It’s review time. It’s annoying.. but it’s necessary. Everything else is pretty quiet. Most of my projects are on hold until after the new year. The one project that’s not on hold I’m only barely involved in. I had taken two weeks off to recover from my surgery.. but since the surgery didn’t complete I ended up only…
Friday Five – Roadtrip
1. Work This week we reviewed all of the projects for all of the teams on the TODO list for Q1. My team is tangentially included in three of the projects but not directly involved with any of them. This means I’ll need to re-asses my backburner projects to come up with projects for myself and my direct report. Meh.…
Friday Five – Drowned Cat
1. Work So I didn’t get a new boss… but I did get a new boss’s boss’s boss (or something like that). On Thursday TPTB announced that they’ve hired a new head for my division and President for my division. The new head, Paul Whose-Surname-I-Never-Heard, comes from Fandango and the new President, Mark Larkin, is someone who was previously a…
Friday Five – Giggity
1. Work I still work for Red Ventures in the AdTech department. Instead of reporting into a central corporate team I’m now moved back to report into the CNET Group (a smaller sub-set of sites). Sites in the CNET Group make revenue from ads.. and other RV sites do not make revenue that way. I understand it.. but I’m disappointed.…
Friday Five: The blahs of war
1. Work/Home Last week I saw a rat on my front porch. I was sitting in my office, minding my own business (at work in fact) in the middle of a video conference call when I spotted something on my deck. I jumped to my feet and danced around like a loon trying to get a better look at whatever…
Return of the Friday Five
My mother mentioned she misses my Friday Fives so back to it. 1. Work Work is still work. Lots going on there. Always busy. I do also still love my job. Commuting from Sacramento to San Francisco is a bit long, it’s a good thing I only have to do that occasionally. 2. Home/Erik I know I haven’t mentioned it…
Gardening with a black thumb
Notably lacking from any of this (aside from the succulent garden) is the idea of planting plants. This is the type of gardening I feel I can handle. Our first pass is get the planting areas into shape. We may go for a second pass where we add some plants or raised garden area. Pool garden The backside of the…

Month 1 on #keto (low carb, high fat). Down 11.9 lbs. Starting weight: 315.0 Today’s weight: 303.1 Net change: -11.9 This month I had two incidents of “cheating”.
