Goodnight all ❤️
Good night. 😘
Just been informed an old coworker has passed away. He always made me laugh. The world has lost a good man.
I’m so sorry.
Rebound class (mini trampolines!) was SO fun. Already can’t wait to do it again!
Trampolines! That sounds super fun.
Nearly finished the day’s tasks, then I can do some study. 🙂
You have been charged with 3 counts of supplying out of date pepperoni to your family. How do you plead?
Not guilty, Your Honor 😬
It’s still good, it’s still good….
Not mushrooms, not guilty
Cheesus! Pepperoni is preserved, goddamit. If no one dies or gets sick, the preservation worked.
Well yes, and even fuzziness is ok on some varieties. White fuzz, not green or blue!
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)
rest as much as you can
🍵🍪
Thankyou for the tea, I’ve not really eaten since Friday
saladas with a thin smear of vegemite, and weak black tea is very good at settling a grumbly tummy.
Not good, maybe something simple like some soup might help, at least try and keep your fluids up.
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.
Think of all them data you collected. Put them data into action
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.
This kitten must eat from everyone else’s plate then take over lol
I love these little fluffy guys. 💖
I hate assignments. I have four due next week and am only done with research for one of them. And it’s going to take me ages to research and write each one, so I can’t hold myself to do each assignment in two days. Fuck me.
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.
Take care of yourself and I hope your back’s feeling better soon
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!
Go get 'em tiger 💪
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.
Beach, I will be sure to wear a hat and a windproof jacket 🌞💨🌊
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
Good luck mate!
Good luck. 🙂
Yesterday YL needed permission to go on an excursion. Yeah yeah sure. Then she says “oh dad. You’ll love this. We’re going to see &$#@%?”. I had no idea what she even said but he got really excited (he doesn’t get excited about much) and then there was a lot of nerd talk and I felt left out.
So this morning I went back to the permission slip and it said “Particle accelerator”. I googled and I still have no fucking clue as to what that is but I learnt that we have the only one in Australia here in Melbourne.
I guess that’s a fun fact for those who know what that is.
Jealous! I would love to see that
I went on an excursion to that as well when I was in HS, must have been 2009 or 08, it was very new at that time! It’s so cool! The Australian Synchrotron!
Basically, it’s a big tube with electromagnetic fields, and they use it to make atoms and particles go super fast - it helps with particle physics research!
There was certainly much excitement in the air!
The one down at Monash? Oooh jelly! It’s quite fascinating. Basically a big tunnel circle underground, with machines that can squirt atoms/molecules etc. at very high speeds at items in each target zone. Like a very big roundabout with high speed atom cannons instead of roads leading off it. This helps people find out what the items in the target zone are made of and their internal structure. Super useful for mining, engineering, medical stuff and a host of other stuff.
Yeah, that’s the one.
It’s just around the corner from my place. Well 10 minutes round the corner.
This might be a great 50th birthday present for the man and if we do go, we’ll pop into yours for a cuppa. 😂
I can take you to savemore for cheap odd failed product lines. It’s my local attraction. You can bring the dog.
Do you ever look at stuff there and wonder what’s wrong with it and why is it there?
The dog’s too unruly for social trips.
Often, although I’ve become somewhat desensitised to the wacky things they sometimes have, eg, the Mountain Dew flavoured Doritos. I think of it kind of like a food opportunity shop, there isn’t always opportunity.
