Jayme "Danger" Howard

Congratulations on another successful trip around the terrible Daystar! Here's to many more!

Hell yeah, do it!

I've started proposing times in UTC for this exact reason, which has upset people in a similar yet entirely different way.

This is the SRE experience in a nutshell, I've found.

Fuck

That's a bad sandwich.

Nope.

Same

Swear I'm not ignoring your DM. Somehow I got rate limited and I'm just waiting on that to clear. 😅

Not actually attending, but in town, yep!

Standing in the airport and the sticker trades have already begun. Love this.

Miraculously, not a single one seen so far.

It's fun to sit in the airport, looking at who's on your flight, and playing the "which of you is going to Defcon" game. Tattooed dude with a flannel vest, fauxhawk and patches? Probably. Elderly couple? Nah. Dude with Killer Klowns from Outer Space backpack but also kids? Maybe.

Oh my god, the vibes on this photo are impeccable, and your hair looks incredible in it!

Entire vibe of that hall changes with him there. Did he sneak in to steal documents from the library? Is he secretly a Venthyr? We may never know.

We had a whole shrine to him at a company event once, with a custom statue and everything.

Thank you! 💜 The coughing has already largely subsided, so I'm already feeling better than I was when I woke up.

Not to be the devil on your shoulder, but they're nice looking and you probably deserve a little treat.

I just want the third one on each foot. For science.

Real talk, though. My CISO likes sending us to Vegas for a team event during this time so we can easily attend the con(s). So there's a high probability I'll be there and we could make something happen. You deserve a chance to go.

If I'm actually going next year, let's talk. Maybe I can help make that happen. I'm actually serious.

All of this, and more, during the world's largest hacker convention!

Thank you. Too much, honestly. This one's work, not fun, and I'm on call during it. Vegas is a hotspot for COVID, so I'm actually kinda thankful that the amount of stuff I can do is minimal. Can't take the work laptop some places, so I get to just stay in the hotel.

Honestly, this is exactly the kind of conversation every day should start with. Spite is a hell of a drug.

Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons!

I'm exactly that kind of motherfucker.

In reality, I'll be loaded up on dramamine, big chunky headphones on, so zoned out I won't be able to make eye contact. But it's a nice idea.

CONGRATULATIONS ON ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL TRIP AROUND THE TERRIBLE DAYSTAR!

You're still just a wee bab, but slightly less wee! 💜

When it happens, the parties will be epic.

Thanks, body, for kicking off the blankets for half the night so I wake up with a cough a couple hours before a flight. That's exactly the person I want to be.

Pretty sure she's Kari.

I regret having disappointed you. 😭
