Final Day of The Work Week

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The last day of my current work week and pay period is about to come to a close. Once again, another rather busy day during the morning, before closing out much slower and quiet during the afternoon hours before finishing up at 1900hrs. The hot summer sun has been less intense today as well, which means that the building has been more comfortable for my clients to sleep and recover! It sure takes a bit of a toll off of all of us as well.

The Past Few Weeks...

The past few weeks have seemingly been brutal. However, the network migration to the new Cisco switch is finally complete. Everything is working, all servers are running, everything connects properly, and speeds are good.

On another front, work in the mental health and addictions space has been very hectic! Working with and seeing multiple new clients is refreshing, but tragically, the drugs are continuing to get worse and worse. The poverty and housing crisis has reached levels we have never seen before, and the demand keeps climbing exponentially as each day rolls on.

Working on building up my homelab

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 17:00:00 -0600

I guess we will say this is my first REAL post.

I’ve been working hard all weekend on setting up this new blog and reworking my homelab. I’ve learned a lot of stuff so far.

The blog is running on some web-hosting environment virtual machines based on the network. It’s been a lot.

Purpose

I’m currently learning Markdown to be able to make these posts and put them up onto the blog.
