          Chilli con carne for dinner. I like it with pasta as opposed to rice.

                Bacon butty for tea, as the bacon needed to be used. Feeling sleepy now. Bread often does that to me. I wonder why?

                    I had fish. M&S fish.

                    And mash.

                    And broccoli.

                    And carrots.

                    And peas.

                    No sprouts coz I've run out.

                    And beetroot. (Morrisons finest baby beets).

                    And pickled onions. (Morrisons sweet).

                    All topped off with some MayoHeinz(tm) Classic Salad Cream.

                    Yum.

                    And for the first time in 3 weeks or so, I had an apple pie & custard.

                    Had to have that coz the dates up on the apple pies.

                      Another day that's just a long planning meeting tomorrow

                      These things really bring it home to me how out of place I am in this scene. I'm a web developer: front end, back end, databases, web servers, all of them, some of them, whatever. But this is an IT infrastructure gig: it's all about systems configuration and stuff, which I'm not really interested in as a field. And as so much of it is to do with ClientCorp's specific IT infrastructure, I'm not even that interested in learning about most of it, because it's just third-party solutions like Infoblox (DNS), Tufin (no idea), SolarWinds (no idea), and such.

                      I just get by with the attitude that input comes in, output goes out, and I write the bit in the middle that transforms the former into the latter. If that process of transformation has side effects like causing servers to be configured or DNS records to be created, great; but, as Sam Ruby has it in the strap line to intertwingly.net: "It's just data".

                      And on that note, goodnight
