Seeing tons of talk on The Last Dance. Haven’t seen it yet... hope it’s released in a physical media of some sort. Here’s a photo of my favorite Jordan piece: The dunk from the Free Throw line to beat Wilkins, including the pre-dunk scoring - and certified autograph.

After not responding to Slack for a while, I come back to find the most recent message: “That’s such a great metaphor for James not being able to get anything done lately; a vCenter task stuck at 0%.” I’m right there with you, stuck task.

I tried to do something in the homelab today. Before I really got started, I came across a SSL certificate warning. Thought to myself, “I should set up my CAs real quick,” because I’m an idiot.

Spent most of the afternoon/evening playing with the home lab today. Feels good to get things set up.

Excited to have received the #vExpert 2020 award! Congratulations to all new and returning #vExperts. I spent some time after work writing a quick blurb about what it is, why I'm excited, and how I hope to earn #vExpert 2021. mueller-tech.com/2020/02/24/…

If you know anything about our relationship, you know how much it pains me to say this: Steve is smart and has a ton of knowledge to share. Worth checking in on this blog.
I’ve been thinking about an outlet for some of my longer form technology, management, and leadership thoughts. So, I started a blog. I’d love to know what you think. transformationaltechnologist…

If you’re a recruiter looking for good tech people, please reply here with a way for people to get in touch with you. I’d like to try to collect opportunities for folks affected by @vmware’s layoffs yesterday. Thanks!

Catching up on Twitter only to find many impacted by the VMware RIF. If there’s anything I can do, please reach out. I get stuck in a bad place with rough news. I’d need to hear this so maybe it will help you, too: You are worth it. You are wanted. You are loved. You’ll be ok.

So today is a crazy day and like many I was affected in the reorg, but I’m excited for the growth I have obtained and talking about future opportunities. If you hear of something just think of me. #vExpert #vCommunity – at Eden Prairie, MN

I've been thinking about the human aspects of what happens when people quit or are fired. I put a thought or two into a blog post. Do you agree with me or am I longing for unrealistic principles? mueller-tech.com/2019/12/12/…
