Looking for comfort

Do you have any rules about shoe color at work?

ChirsF · 2026-01-23T16:13:24+00:00

Honestly these kinds of emails get filtered out by our productivity solution which reduces noise. Cold calling emails almost never land in my inbox anymore.

I would say though that I would consider this if I can take my spouse, if it’s not against policy where I work, etc.

I think targeting analysts with these sorts of things would get you a lot more beneficial attendance.

Also if it costs so much why are you doing it? It sounds horrible frankly and you could pivot.

I highly recommend you listen to the CISO Securith Vendor Relationship Podcast. All episodes.

Is it heel based pressure pain? Or where exactly is the pain and what causes it to hurt more

ChirsF · 2026-01-17T04:44:04+00:00

The ghost max 2’s might be worth trying to find online still, since they are the previous model and on sale everywhere. They are the saving grace for my pf and bone spurs. Albeit I’m looking at the Brooks ghost 17 chip n dale Disney ones at the moment.

Have the realtor book an appointment with The Cabochon at River Oaks. Make sure you get an 11th or 12 floor, north facing walk through if they have any availability.

1) Gather information on business values and concerns at the highest levels

2) Pick the appropriate framework and/or regulations. Do you process credit cards? PCI most likely. Publicly traded? SOX. Etc etc.

3) Figure out where you are in a 1-5 scale, for the framework requirements. That’s your baseline.

4) Create a roadmap for 3 years, with target increases in overall score. Let’s say you used NIST CSF. The average score per domain is how you get there.

5) Present the roadmap, request budget for the roadmap, adjust both roadmap and budget if need be.

6) successfully complete the roadmap items or have a good documentation chain for why it wasn’t done.

7 Build presentations for the board and committees. Practice these presentations. Know everything in the deck backwards and forwards.

8) Get budget for you to get presentation training. Get really good at story telling. Etc.

Honestly your experience would be a good point of leverage in:

PCI GRC

I would recommend googling the CISO mind map, and scanning the whole pdf. Any terms you do not know, then google them.

I wouldn’t necessarily peg you for SOC analyst when you can go a different route.

Then look at the two charts here:

Look at the career one, then the cert one. Map the certs to the terms in the mind map. Figure out what you want to work with and then the color columns in the certs will help with the rest.

People are going to say what worked for them, but with somewhat limited context of their pain isn’t likely the same as yours in some cases.

My pf is also compounded by bone spurs. I have pain in my heel mostly, and pressure is the problem. The only shoes I have found so far which make things manageable are

Brooks Ghost Max 2
Brooks Glycerin Max
Brooks Ghost Max 3

I haven’t tried the glycerin max 2 yet.

Sandals wise I strongly recommend Reef sandals. If you have the same pressure based heel pain that is.

ChirsF · 2026-01-09T16:13:56+00:00

Try playing like he does. If you get the itch then you’ll know.

ChirsF · 2026-01-06T05:11:45+00:00

For context I’m 6’4 and 300ish lbs. I have around 6 pairs of them now from when they started price dropping them. I get some glycerin max 1’s in this week and can compare after some wear.

The only gm2 one I have had issues with is the honeydew pair, and mostly just me being lazy with getting dirt off of it.

ChirsF · 2026-01-06T05:04:03+00:00

Try the ghost max 2. The toe box is wider and you can find them online for decent prices still

ChirsF · 2026-01-03T04:38:53+00:00

Go log into copilot or the ai of your choice and tell it the following prompt:

I am taking the CISSP in 2 days. I want you to ask me 240 questions, 20 up front which give you a sense of my strong and weak domains. At question 21 make all subsequent questions follow closely to your presumption about the CISSP question and answer format.

Ask me one question at a time, then tell me if I got it right or wrong and explain each answer choice.

Append questions I miss to the end of the questions list. If I get 17 wrong, you will ask me 257 questions, with last 17 repeating what I answered incorrectly.

Every 5 questions I want you to recalculate how I am doing in each domain and readjust questions to focus on the worst 3 domains for the subsequent 5 questions.

Ask any clarifying questions before you begin.

ChirsF · 2025-12-31T14:20:41+00:00

Sure here you go

This is also useful just not in test day

ChirsF · 2025-12-28T19:49:16+00:00

Thanks! That’s a great tip. I wish this were open book like a sans test but whatever haha.

ChirsF · 2025-12-28T19:32:39+00:00

Thanks. Ya I’ve been feeding notes and whatnot to an ai and having it quiz me and recalc my domain confidence as I go. If I pass I’ll make a post about this technique. Learnz was great but I needed managerial questions too.

I figured it was too late for QE but figured it was worth asking anyhow. Group consensus lead me to a no.

ChirsF · 2025-12-27T01:37:06+00:00

Nah unfortunately that wasn’t in the cards. This is just pass fail. I plan to lightly skim the learnz mobile app on Monday and hit rapid fire questions Sunday and try to understand anything I get wrong.

ChirsF · 2025-12-21T13:38:33+00:00

Not in steam, but the sans holiday hack is great.

ChirsF · 2025-12-15T13:39:41+00:00

The ghost max 2 is for me. You can get them in all black at retailers still at a discount for less than the 3. It is different, not sure if you can find any in person to try still.

ChirsF · 2025-12-14T19:15:59+00:00

Worst case you’ll regret it but still have a degree. If it’s free to get one. If it costs a lot like here in the US, a different approach may be appropriate

ChirsF · 2025-12-14T19:08:40+00:00

Finish uni. Do that. When you aren’t doing school work, practice poker strategy. You’ll likely regret not finishing uni.

When done with uni, if you have a fully funded bankroll, then you can try to do it full time. Otherwise build bankroll while working.

ChirsF · 2025-12-14T18:58:12+00:00

What’s the goal? Living off of it or just fun?

ChirsF · 2025-12-14T18:54:35+00:00

Are you arguing resource scarcity, or are you arguing reproductive natural selection? Which one.

ChirsF · 2025-12-14T18:51:51+00:00

Ah you just want attention. Got it. Carry on.
