  • it’s about over analyzing your current tasks and over describing common minutiae.

    instead of: “I worked on restoring a database connection”

    it becomes: “I worked with the DBAs, networking, and OpSec to restore the connection and ensure that connectivity remains up and secure. I also plan on working on adding proper monitoring to alert when this happens again. I should be done in a few days.”

    then in a few days it becomes: “ran into scheduling conflicts with the monitoring team and will need it push it out until next week. Until then I’ll continue the monitor the situation and let you know if anything new comes up.”




  • I did something similar. I figured that whatever was in there could read my mind so I imagined doing the most heinous violent acts on whatever was in there. I thought that it would scare whatever was in there away from me.

    eventually I started doing it anytime I was scared or nervous.

    now I’m a psychopath and nothing scares me, because I’ll just kill whatever scares me.

    thanks mild childhood trauma!
