🚨ALARM: Priority 0 - Critical Interface Down

I build systems and infrastructure that actually work from managed networks that keep campuses online, to processes that stop products from imploding under their own complexity.

why is activating a windows license thats tied to my personal ms account SO GODDAMN DIFFICULT
I finally get to a support link, and I get this nonsense.

They do everything they can to prevent anyone from getting support. Why they're taken seriously as a company, I'll never understand.

maybe it will next time?
you never know, you might find something cool
chances are low, however

I tried vim and nvim for cool points and got overwhelmed and annoyed quickly. however I found nvim with lazyvim plugins to be kinda enjoyable. you can use the mouse and arrow keys like a modern human.
the mode switching has taught me to be more careful and that works for me. maybe not for everyone

If your organization needs someone who can turn chaos into architecture, ideas into services, and meetings into results — I’m your human API.

My toolkit spans strategy, service design, and hands-on networking (the real kind, with VLANs and packets, not business cards).

Nothing more fun than lookin up BIOS beep codes on your phone.

Thats what I'm thinking too?
Its been a minute since I've hunted, but my god, I am not going to just reply to someone when demanded. Feels rude.
sardonic.systems
is it a normal expectation for someone to respond immediately on linkedin?
mid convo with a few who will @ me if i don’t respond to them immediately

ive never lost a job before
It’s affected me more than i thought it would

I thought I had hit all the right metrics, brought my best every day, and that still wasn’t enough to keep me off the chopping block

Im more than thankful for my relationships in my life that i can lean on to support me

Today I was swept up in the latest rounds of force reduction.

But adversity is just forced adaptation, and systems adapt

I’m on the hunt for new opportunities in product mgnt, IT infrastructure, or sysadmin leadership roles. If you’re building something resilient (or want to), let’s talk.

I want off mr. bones wild ride.
