@Claudia oops I replied twice to you! I have received a lot of incredibly kind responses so I lost track 😅
@tracydurnell thank you!! Ahhh I'm so excited!
@val Thank you! I'm driving to the country to see mates this weekend so that will be my celebration. If it wasn't for the fact I have been saving for a home deposit for years & will be redirecting student loan money to the deposit fund, I would buy a new PC. But that can wait till next year!
@tracydurnell Thank youuuu!!!
@TheRealChadwick Thank you!! 🥳🥳
@odd Thank you so much! Had it for like 13 years so I feel you. It's so nice to not have to worry about it anymore.
I’ve officially paid off all my student loans! I’m so excited! It was $70,000 4 years ago.
Saved the day at work and being appreciated for it. Feels good!
Alas, it is time for me to sneak in some work on the weekend. Policy and risk assessment revisions. I shall give myself two to three hours to prevent going overboard.
I got my ISO 27001 Lead Auditor qualification! However, I am truly an ISO implementer at heart.
Boo! I have peroneal tendonitis. This is mildly frustrating!
Confirmed my friends in Bondi Junction are safe. What happened was and is utterly terrifying. For those who are not aware, five people were stabbed to death (and many in critical condition) at a popular shopping centre in Sydney and the attacker was killed. My thoughts with all those impacted.
@rom thank you so much! Lead implementer is more my style but I wanted to fill my knowledge gap regarding auditing
@heyloura thank you! I recently got my lead implementer but I wanted to round it off with auditor.
I passed my ISO 27001 Lead Auditor Exam!
I am so close to paying off my student loans. Only 14k to go! For context, in 2022 it was 70k. With any luck, it will be paid in full by mid June.
Grand Canyon walk during Easter! There were so many stairs but it was a beautiful walk! Very much enjoyed it.
Keep your ISMS simple when starting out. Do not over promise in policies. Auditors will assess you based on the requirements within your policies and 27001. The ISO 27001 Lead Auditor training highlights this!
NIST CSF V2 is out!
@luckyresistor thank you so much!
@luckyresistor do you have any recommendations for entry level 3d printers which is able to print your lovely boxes? Thank you :)
Passed the ISO 27001 Lead Implementor exam! Next stop is the auditor qualification! #cybersecurity #iso27001 #cyber
Just watched Pluto. What a masterpiece! I hope the creators make more adaptations in that universe.
For me, this year is the year of doing hands on courses. Just did a course on basic home repair. March I’m hoping to do an introduction to woodworking & maybe upholstery course. I’m a third into a 10 week dressmaking course. Maybe something with clay later in the year! I wanted to use my hands!
Did a Home DIY course over the last two weeks and it was really good! For anyone in Sydney, I highly recommend the Bower for courses like this. I learned grouting, basic tool use, gyprock patching etc. We also made this which I shall use as a coaster.
“You are very important to someone, even if that is yourself.”
@heyheymomo holy shit that bat filled my heart with joy
@dangoodin Same. If I must check my Facebook account it is in a Firefox container within the browser. Never the app. I never sign in with Facebook. I disable the use of apps. Etc.
@dangoodin I admittedly still have an account but have not posted anything in over half a decade? Or update relationship status... ever. The only reason why it is not deleted is that I would be isolated from family who use Facebook events.
@Claudia the moral of the story is fuck capitalism. No one should be homeless or at risk of homelessness.
@Claudia The pursuit of money becomes a problem if you start treating people like things or lessers, it degrades important relationships, or impacts your mental health. I don't care for power. I care to feel good about doing my job and not working for bastards while earning enough to own a home.
@eumrz thank you <3
@eumrz I think it's cause my pay is nothing to sneeze at (totally acknowledge my privilege here) BUT I also live in one of the most unaffordable property markets in the world so even that isn't enough for a single income mortgage for a 3 bedroom place near a train line. I'm so close tho!
I loathe when people are like “you are too focused on salary”. No, I’m really not. I quite literally want enough that will allow me to own a home before I retire without moving cities. And enough to support one child should I choose. That’s all I want.
@GossiTheDog truth

Today was a good birthday
@dukevonleo I know right?
Okay so I was missing the h-entry from the Bluesky profile I think preventing replies from coming back via bridgy. Let’s try this again.
The insurance company did not know much about ADHD. My doctor had to fill out forms asking “When did symptoms first start?” “Birth” “When was the last time they experienced symptoms?” “Presently” “Ever been hospitalised due to ADHD?” “No”
