    <content type="html">&lt;h1 id=&#34;rant&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;heading-wear-glyph&#34;&gt;Rant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The longer I&amp;rsquo;m in corporate America - and the longer I homelab and listen to&#xA;podcasts - a cliché truth becomes more and more apparent to me, which&#xA;is a lot of people are full of bullshit, and a lot of initiatives are built on&#xA;nothing, and a lot of people feel the need to be/feel important.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;div class=&#34;admonition danger&#34;&gt;&#xA;&lt;p class=&#34;admonition-title&#34;&gt;Danger&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That makes it hard to do things and find things that are actually valuable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/div&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, for this rant to be healthy I suppose I&amp;rsquo;ll muse for a little while on&#xA;finding things of value in these contexts that suck.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I want to be thankful for finding things that matter when I&amp;rsquo;m&#xA;forced to participate in contexts that I think are stupid.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1 id=&#34;redemption&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;heading-wear-glyph&#34;&gt;Redemption&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what good has come? The first is financial blessing - I hate that money runs&#xA;the worls, but God has given me a skill-set where the work does afford a&#xA;moderately comfortable life.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve met some good friends of faith through the machine that is corporate America,&#xA;and the friendships are a source of regular encouragement via The Boys Chat.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve also met a couple friends of tech (so to speak) and through those&#xA;friendships I&amp;rsquo;ve discovered fun hobbies which have affected&#xA;my family life and home in very positive ways.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;div class=&#34;admonition note&#34;&gt;&#xA;&lt;p class=&#34;admonition-title&#34;&gt;Ending the rant&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There can be good redeeming things anywhere, and it&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a href=&#34;/kind/&#34; class=&#34;glossary-term&#34; title=&#34;kind - kubernetes in docker&#34; data-hover-title=&#34;kind&#34;&gt;kind&lt;/a&gt; of a meme to hate&#xA;corporate America this much, but I really do and I look forward to Heaven&#xA;coming to Earth fully. Until then, gratitude is a good daily practice&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/div&gt;&#xA;</content>
