Frustrated Friday
Author: wickedpam

If you listen to the GOP rhetoric about mass shootings then you would have to presume that it's all about mental health. Not sure who should feel more offended by that - gun owners for being called mentally unwell or those with mental health issues being called violent mass killers. You know a lot of the time these mass shooters are just assholes with guns and never should have had one, let alone 10-30, to being with. Sometimes evil is just evil.
Senate rejects gun control amendments offered following San Bernardino shooting
I've said it before, I am tired and I am frustrated. Palin once teased about how that "hopey changey thing" was going, I have an answer now. Until the GOP stomped it with its giant elephant sized uncaring feet, I had hope. Figured that by 2 years into the Presidents 1st term things would settle down and people would relax. Seven years after being elected I never thought it would get worse, I still have hope for something better but its dwindling.
Its what they want, you know, to snuff out that hope we all had or have. Hope is a power thing. There is a song by the Dixie Chicks that I heard way back during the Katrina telethon. Its stuck with me all these years, its called "I Hope".
"There must be a way to change what's going on
No I don't have all the answers"
I don't either, but I still have hope.

Hi all.
So, I still get breakfast with my old friend from athenahealth every Friday morning. I learned this morning that the flooding in Chennai (India) has pretty much devastated the athenaoffice back there. She told me "people have died". My old shop is pretty much a mess right now, and yes...I'm still in touch with a few folks.

And now, the latest communication from the VP of Security Engineering and CSO for my company:
My creatures! It has been an age since I have spoken to you all. The halls of my ice fortress ring hollow except for the cockroach like scurrying of my minions as they carry the 1’s and 0’s generated by your poor browsing choices over to the compactor. Yes, even I recycle.
It’s the holiday season. And with that comes a heightened risk to you my favourite children. A risk that comes in the shape of “Fedex Delivery Notices†and “Click here to get a 90% off coupon at Sturbucksâ€. The criminals know you are working hard at your Sisyphean tasks of rolling our customers satisfaction levels up the hill, while attempting to avoid being crushed as they roll back down. The criminals will prey on your inattention and your willingness to please so watch for them.
I have had some good news from some of you, evildoers failing to socially engineer you, malicious spam that fails to entrap you. Well done! If I can just ask you all to take that last step and trust your instincts on these spam emails. I do love getting email, I exist only for that in fact. But having to read your spam as well as my own takes my attention too far away from our shared goal. The goal ofcrushing the adversary, seeing his bits and bytes driven before us and to hear the lamentations of his network guy.
I need to remind you that the adversary is cunning and does not exist only in the abstract world of the interwebs. (S)He is cunning and will gather assistance from under your keyboards and off the printer. If you have a secret, protect it as I work to protect you. The Post-It note is a place to store trivial reminders to buy feed, not the 16 character key to everything DB ever loved. Don’t walk away from your workstation without locking it. One day I will be in your office, if I get the chance I am going to send email from your desktop to the company's mail boxes professing your unnatural love for cotton candy. Don’t be the cotton-candy guy.
I do love his emails.
