  1. Got a nice set of crystal tumblers for 10 years service at my work and then a wee extra bonus too. Nice to feel appreciated.

  2. Seems like the weather is recovering- forecast says from Sep 10th there’s only one day which the high goes above 31c. Hope it stays that way.

  3. guess who has finally figured out QGIS?? *me!!* can I explain to anyone how I got the results that were asked for? *no!!* but I more or less got the job done, and that’s all that matters (for now)!

    (it’s a little worrying that the only person in company that can figure out GIS software is me, a professional dumdum, but eyyy job security I guess)

  4. Gone 141 or so days without drinking alcohol. The longest so far. Some days I miss it and wish I could just get a buzz. But I’m able to focus on other things better now. I feel like I am not saving more money though. 

  5. we don’t have stupid question threads anymore, so I’ll ask here.

    Broadly speaking, are cartilage piercings okay in the office? In customer service?

    I ask because at my ward office, there’s people who stand and direct you to which counter to go to, and one of them was a woman in her 30s, and she had a ton of helix and conch piercings. I was kind of suprised, figured such a look would be too alt/counterculture for a gov’t job.

  6. I’ve been emailing professors recently looking to get into grad school after my ALT stint is up. Many didn’t reply but my favorite got back very quickly, sent me funding information, and I’m going to visit the lab next week! I’m so nervous 😭. But also so excited and grateful. The research is so interesting.
