So I didn't go to bed last night. Didn't want to waste my time. So I binged stuff online. I'm way too old for this.

This has been such a mind-splitting busy time at work. Security questionnaires for days and days. And we're using a tool to help. The trouble is the sales team doesn't want to own rfps. I don't understand why they want to rely on someone else that might slow their process down. Unless.... They want a scapegoat? They think they won't close it, and if security takes too long, they can blame the loss on us?

I dreamt last night that my executive stood me up at the end of a company meeting and said he was making some changes to the security team. I was surprised, as we had never discussed changes. He then proceeded to give me a pretty bad performance evaluation, basically hitting every point that I've been working on for the last year. It was embarrassing and demoralizing. And then he called the meeting to a close and everyone got up and went back to work.

Now awake, I can look at it and know what it really is. Fuck you very much, imposter syndrome.

But also, thanks for trying, subconscious. I know it's scary, I know we're not running it all at 200%. But we're getting it done, we're making progress, and we're doing The Best That We Can, every day. Try and stay on my side.

Playing the organ for this man today. I don't know him, but he was a veteran, gambler, husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He has a beautiful family. I'm grateful I can pay the organ for them today.
