Raithe

I was having an odd mood Friday night and ended up binge-watching my way through a batch of season one Seal Team. They run into an English, former SAS operator who now runs a nice security company. My eyebrow quirked with the "This can't happen without there being a reveal within the next 6 episodes he's a bad guy"... and US television tropes backed up that recognition within 6 episodes....

I'm having that mildly surreal experience with the new job. About 2 and a half months into it, but due to various reasons (brushes with covid, the August / September period for folks doing chunks of annual leave, etc) my on-boarding has been a touch messy and I'm still not really loaded down with any work. Both my team leader and the technical authority guy have repeatedly turned around to me and made comments along the lines of "we keep hearing good things about your work from people"... and I'm having that blink and "um.. what? I'm pretty much not doing any work just lots of background reading...??" reaction.

I've been bouncing around lately. A bit of Phantom Doctrine, a moment of Grounded, fragmentary bits of TOR, some idling on Dyson Sphere Program...
