My radio plays through the night as a noise mask. This morning I woke up and there was a Beatles song playing. Then, they played another Beatles song. And then another, and another, and another. Five Beatles songs in a row.

I got up and checked the interwebz thinking, maybe, one of the remaining Beatles had died. I guess not.

And now I'm up.

Late Friday afternoon I was trusted to change the address (the A record) for the domain name of the largest potato chip brand in the USA.

This week I created the DNS records for a new domain name that combines a top snack food brand and a top Marvel character.

~ maybe not "a" top maybe "the" top ~

One reason this sounds more impressive than it is: around the group, people refer to screw-ups in these highly visible processes as "resume-generating events"... So it still fits in this thread, some apprehension is still part of my days.

The gig is kind of 99% boredom, 1% terror. A lot of jobs are like that. Piloting, I'm told, is like that.

Is it on the island, or are you ridding yourself of ferry rides for good?
