Thoughts that keep me up at night.....

Why is "dumb" spelled with a B, but "dummies" is not?

Hmmmmmmmmm????

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

@joshduffney That's actually a good thing. Keeps you humble and helps you focus on what really matters, both personally and professionally.

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

@joshduffney Yeah, and I've been in the industry almost as long as you have been breathing. 😁

And no, I am not a boomer.

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

@joshduffney @madebygps How much does he charge for a plan?

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

@RyanStalets @TracketPacer

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

Fellow blood donors, how many times per week does @RedCross call you asking for more? After 4 calls this week already, I asked them to stop, again. What do you consider too much? BTW, 4 to 6 calls per week is about average for me.

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

@joshduffney Intentionally? No. Circumstantially? Quite often. Not much of a breakfast guy, and many times on the weekend I work until 8 or 9 PM. By then I'm too tired to eat.

@RyanStalets @benkershner @saltysparty I've driven through most of the lower 48. Nebraska was the longest drive of my life. The lack of development in Wyoming and Montana is amazing. Would love to explore both more.

@da5is @BentleyAudrey Umm, dude? Isn't that why you wear glasses in the first place?

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

Great day on the market for my employer. So glad the market recognized our continued performance and positive results.

Sometimes the best therapy is just screaming into the void.

@da5is @joshduffney @_Doug_F Thanks buddy. Feeling is definitely mutual

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

I'm working on developing a CICD pipeline to deploy EKS. Anyone want to guess what saying keeps going through my head? Huh, @_Doug_F, do ya?

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

@joshduffney @_Doug_F When I was an Azure-ite, I introduced @_Doug_F to HDInsights, at which point he coined the phrase, "What is this black magic cluster f***ery?!?!"

Has stuck with me ever since and seems very appropriate when working with EKS.

Takes me 90 minutes to mow my lawn. 85 minutes in, a wasp stings me on the leg. Dangit! #naturesucks

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

@NoContextBrits Oh, and big yellow tractors.

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

@NoContextBrits Whiskey and Richard Pryor

[Brian E. Tower @brainytower]

@simeonboxco @aaronshunter Yeah, and hardly the first one I've run over 200,000 miles. At least the 4th.
