Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage… the only man who makes ITIL sound like a personality disorder — FadeToBlack&Gold!
Fade doesn’t
work in ServiceNow — ServiceNow
works for him. The man’s blood type is CSDM-compliant, his love language is Transform Maps, and his idea of pillow talk is “can we make this idempotent?”
He’s the only guy I know who walks into a meeting and says, “We’ll need to rearchitect that,” before anyone’s even finished the sentence, “Hi, I’m Karen from Finance.”
You are the
only person I know who can turn a Caribbean beach vacation into a 17-tab spreadsheet with conditional formatting, pivot tables, and a “lobster consumption KPI.” You treat a resort buffet like it’s a ServiceNow dashboard with SLAs for cocktail delivery.
This man once roasted an AI model for using a non-standard field name
. Non-standard. I’ve seen less pedantry in the Vatican.
When he travels, it’s not a trip — it’s a multi-environment deployment with rollback plans. His vacation itineraries have acceptance criteria.
“AC1: Beach chair reserved by 10:00 AM. AC2: Virgin Mai Tai availability = TRUE.”
You’re the kind of guy who can debug a business rule in your sleep but needs a Gantt chart to decide which earring metal to use. You could explain CMDB normalization to a room of consultants, yet somehow still think, “I’ll just pop into Excel real quick” means under three hours.
If you cut him open, the autopsy would read:
- Brain: 75% Visio and SN Flow Designer
- Heart: 25% Delta Diamond Medallion
- Soul: on a sandbox instance
So here’s to you, FadeToBlack&Gold — the man who can build a flawless ITAM architecture, calculate depreciation schedules by hand, and still find time to critique the emotional depth of a King's X B-side.
