It is Thursday morning, 18 August 2022. In a couple of hours I will be giving a presentation on monitoring, logging, and security, and I did not get a good night’s sleep last night.
It was one of those nights when I just couldn’t turn my brain off. All night I had something running through my head, whether it was storylines from TV shows and movies, song lyrics, thoughts on the state of the world, random stuff. I found myself practicing some mental exercised to calm down my brain, but it just didn’t work with me last night. I think later today I’ll get some headphones on and get into a Headspace exercise to try and clear out the blockers that are keeping me from relaxing.
It’s cool outside right now, sun barely inching up over the eastern horizon. There’s a mist hovering over my little corner of the prairie, and the day is upon us. I’ve got my glass of water, waiting on my first cup of coffee… and then it all starts.
This is my last major presentation for the week. Focus on the frequently asked questions and the best practices, answer the questions as best I can, and just keep swimming.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
