I do stuff, I have opinions. These are not necessarily my employers opinions. I think I'm funny.

I, like Mark Twain, believe that "Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer."

I also believe that "Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate motherfucker."

As we started the new year, there was discussion about some headwinds that we would be encountering as an organization. Unfortunately, I was caught in some of those headwinds, and as a result have been affected by the current workforce reduction.

Have some logistics to figure out in the interim, but will be looking to pick back up again and contribute to the evolution of a cyber security program, albeit likely at another organization.

@RickiTarr@beige.party This has got all hallmarks of the Fantasy Trope: The Long Forgotten Evil™

An ancient evil is almost (but not-yet-quite-completely) vanquished by the heroes.

As they move on and the society recovers - slowly but surely most everyone who remembers the actual evil starts to die (of old age - the heroes won and it's a happily-ever-after scenario - aside from the almost-vanquished-yet-most-certainly-lying-in-wait-as-it-gathers-its-strength ancient evil).

Slowly but surely - the tales of the ancient evil get muddled and watered down over each retelling over the generations - to the point many doubt whether there actually was a Festering Ancient Evil Bent On Consuming The World at all, and if the stories were more an allegory - a way to get ornery children to listen to their parents.

And slowly but surely - time marches on, and the legends who slew the Ancient Festering Evil are long forgotten, as is the existence of the very ancient evil itself.

Until. . . .

A plucky hero(ine) comes along - accidentally finds and ancient tome containing ancient knowledge and Forbidden Incantations©.

Their finding the ancient forbidden knowledge seems almost . . . guided, as if by some being or intelligence that yearns for freedom, now eagerly aware that no one remembers the ancient horrors.

The hero(ine)'s curiosity about this ancient knowledge - insatiable. The opening and reading of the ancient text is almost pre-ordained at this point.

And with a flash of lightning - and the billowing of sulfurous smoke after the words are spoken - The Long Forgotten Ancient Evil Who Has Been Awaiting This Day And Biding Its Time - is now free.
