    Just been informed an old coworker has passed away. He always made me laugh. The world has lost a good man.

    You have been charged with 3 counts of supplying out of date pepperoni to your family. How do you plead?

    Not guilty, Your Honor 😬

    Still sick as fuck. Taking small joys in Selkirk the cat and kids apparently staging protest marches in Roblox (which I have never played, but whatever)

    Big thanks to everyone yesterday for the kind advice and support for the ol’ girl.

    Sometimes it’s difficult to speak about health concerns to others and be listened to, but not here which I’m very grateful for.

    Trying a new gym class tonight and I’m actually very nervous. My fitness has slipped so much, am looking for something to inspire me!

    Welp, it must be some kind of divine intervention or something but my presentation has been postponed at the last minute to some day next week. I’m still going to work towards finishing up to present to my supervisor tomorrow arvo, I NEED URGENT DEADLINES OR MY BRAIN WON’T WORK.

      I too love deadlines and it’s a problem.

      So I try to set rules of must do . Check lists help a lot. It’s like a rule.

        My problem is that the check lists are out of control (the more I do the more I realise I need to do and my priorities start getting confused). I have managed to stick to some relatively hard constraints for this presentation so I’m going to make sure the slides and all the diagrams are done that way I am free to move back onto the thesis. Rather than juggling everything at once…

          Does the presentation have a word limit or talking component limit?

          I generally stick to the criteria that they ask for careful not to give too much information if it isn’t called for.

            It’s about a 15-20 minute presentation with a relatively vague marking rubric. It ascribes equal components to each aspect of the thesis that I will be presenting on, which is a bit dumb since obviously the intro and discussion will require a lot more time than the aims and probably the results.

            The presentation itself is going to be picture heavy but a lot of the time is currently being spent creating the diagrams/maps (I will still need these for the thesis as well so it’s not time wasted at least). I have not even finished the slides let alone started coming up with a draft script to time myself. At first I was worried that I would not even get up to 15 minutes but I think I will be able to have minimal text on the slides and expand/summarise as much as is needed depending on how I’m going for time.

    I know I should get over it, but do you think it’s ‘ok’ to be miffed about donating something to someone and not even getting a thank you in return?

    It’s been a month. I am mostly over it, but from time to time it comes to mind and it bugs me as someone who lives in a world thinking they’ve never mattered.

    my uniseals for patching the tank interlinks came on Monday but I threw my back out on Sunday so I couldn’t get into the tanks yesterday and while better today, it’s too cold for me to be dipping my arthritic paws into tanks full of fucking ice water. Why is life so unkind.

    eCommerce launch today at work, quite exciting. This is the whole reason I took this role and it should be a game changer for me going forward

    Beach, I will be sure to wear a hat and a windproof jacket 🌞💨🌊

    So many pelicans today, must have been at least fifty. When the wind started gusting and a little rain started they hunkered down tucking their chin onto their breast.
