Great presentation today! Thanks so much for putting that on.

Sat through an absolutely terrifying conference session today on nihilistic violent extremists targeting children on apps like Roblox. Sometimes I miss working on the criminal side of forensics and other times…I do not.

I could bend rebar with my anxiety right now.

Had a girls night with the teen spawn at the local Vietnamese restaurant, and I’ll be damned if we didn’t go on the wrong night. This is happening TOMORROW. Horrible timing. 😭

Vietnamese food until morale improves.

Can’t sleep from pain in my lower back radiating down through my outer thigh, and while sciatica pain makes the most sense, I will not rest until WebMD and I figure out what else it could be and how long I have to live.

Spent therapy appt today talking about how there isn’t enough of me to go around, and I felt like I couldn’t set boundaries at home to give myself personal time, because I don’t want the kids to think I’m not there for them. After, I opened my office door and all three kids were standing there. 😆💀

Update: bbq won. Ribs and collard greens doing their magic while the Wildcats play. 🥬 🏀

The desire to cook an elaborate bbq rib meal for dinner and the desire to sit very still and stare into the middle distance are deeply at war today.

My day so far.

Same! Seeing it spelled out broke my brain.

It for sure costs money here in Kentucky, which is why we kicked the Real ID can down the road longer than most states.

Already regretting following you again. 🤣

This little tyrant has woken me up every morning this week an hour before the alarm goes off and then exhibits this level of audacity when it’s time for me to go to work.

Right!? Some are super helpful and accommodating, and then others are so obstructive and defensive. I had one who was almost in tears the other day arguing with me because he couldn’t admit he was wrong about what type of access I needed. Like dude. You know some stuff. I know some stuff. Calm down.

Digital Forensic Wish List item: that IT admins would not think I am the literal antichrist.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

‘He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT 🔥

Just putting it out there in the universe. I miss criminal forensics. eDiscovery is just not for me I think.

I’ve been back at work for two hours since vacay, and I’m already ready to go back on holiday.

I never weigh in on gambling, because I recognize my extreme bias after having a family member steal an obscene amount of money from me in order to gamble. But the sports betters threatening players is disgusting. It’s bad enough in the NFL but they’re doing this to college players too. Teenagers.

What my job actually is:

On second thought, Waco was not the documentary to watch right now.
