I've got Debian installed, the shield mounted, and can remote desktop from my phone, laptop and computer.

I'm getting pretty good at this whole IT thing

Sorry, but nope. To be good at the whole IT thing you have to ask "have you logged a ticket" when you bloody KNOW the answer is no.

I can setup my own Jira instance. I'll have to lodge some tickets against myself. It would be a good way to track the things I want to do actually

This is a step up from me creating a to do list of the most inane crap so I can tick half of it off and feel satisfied...

With Jira you can post comments everyday on why things haven't been done and push the due date back. That way you can feel like you're accomplishing things without actually doing anything

And justify your own job before you make you redundant. I had to fire me after some pretty serious allegations of sexual harassment against myself.

Once I finish setting this PC up I can finally let myself go... but then I'll need to hire myself back as a contractor to maintain it

Absolutly. Dont forget to hold yourself to NON of the metrics your apply to your salaried staff. Also make sure your salaried staff know there is no budget for anything whilst you hire a dozen more contractors who deliver nothing.
