Really never found anyone who was happy with the return on investment for their cybersecurity bachelor’s, though I’m sure there are some out there.

Now 10 years later I spend my time mentoring the youth by steering them away from “cybersecurity” degrees that are usually less technical and more program management. Do that as a minor, or join a CTF club... Or just go work at a help desk.

My quest to give myself some semblance of control over my environment continues. Mulch came from a local farm here in town.

Did you know that you can probably get same day delivery for mulch even if you and your husband are extremely unprepared to do anything with it?? You can!! Chaotic gardening is necessary when you suddenly have a whole week of good weather. At least that’s what I’m telling him. 😇

Hopefully we can take what we learn with us. Instead of Whole Foods, sign up for a CSA this summer, and visit a farmers market! Local butchers, fish stands, whatever you can find. Maybe we’ll have new favorites.

Amazon likely won’t care about this at all. But the local businesses we support instead will! I’m treating it as a mindfulness practice: what could I easily be buying elsewhere? How much do I rely on (unnecessary) convenience like same-day delivery? What local businesses sell things I need?

We work with a 3rd party that insists 3 hour meetings are the best and most productive way to do things, and coincidentally they also don’t know how to read or answer questions.
