The whole album is great, as are the others in the catalog. Just wish I had CDs of them instead of the MP3s I purchased.

Well, NOW is doing well enough to have an arena in Hoffman Estates (former Sears Centre). So I guess there's plenty of money to go around.

yeah, but not extra hours, just putting in the mandatory required. Friends, neighbors that work from home do the same. Heck, our AP clerk that works remote is processing transactions at 2a and is unreachable during normal business hours.

cybersecurity has taken over my life as a IT Manager. Security was always important, and always something I worked on, but now it's all I work on and it's exhausting.

Managing patch management)software and firmware. Users who cannot help but enter credentials via phishing regardless of training.

Chasing the next best practice (SSL VPN out, IPsec is back, etc).
