cloud-init is one of those tools that looks really awesome on paper and you absolutely want to use it until you actually try using it which is when you realise a more productive use of your time is trying to beat yourself to death with a hammer.

All hyped up for the 11:00 NEC race today. Had breakfast and some medicine to hold off the headaches. I just sat down to put on my racing shoes and went to register for the session. '12 hr 35 min Registration opens soon.' It was a 10:00 start. Only remaining session at 23:00. I missed it 😭

I'm planning on getting back into racing this weekend seeing as I haven't raced since the weekend before Christmas. Jumping back in for the first round of the N­ürburgring Endurance Championship might be a mistake; surviving the four hours is going to be interesting.

Lately I've been feeling like all I do is work, recover from work or sleep. This week has been really bad; on call, in the office Mon, working late Tue, woken by alerts Wed.

This job isn't even as stressful as my last one, not by a long shot.
