Thanks! What are you studying?

Thank you! I don't know how, probably because they give them out like lollypops, but I am on HD streak of 7 so far.

Uni results day today.

I passed my placement - yay.

HD on my final assignment in one unit - w00t.

Still waiting on the results for the other unit. I dunno why the first 2 released at 9am and this one is taking ages.

Totally forgot about static ice.

I had carpets removed and floorboards put in and it left a little gap behind the fireplace. A tiny mouse came in while I was watching TV and then went back (so I found the hole). I plugged it up with steel wool and expansion foam. Then I also finally set up my sub woofer. My house shakes anytime something with bass goes on. I'm hoping it scares them off as well.

Looking to get another HDD for my NAS. Same as the last one I got (16tb iron wolf). My god, the price jump. It's almost double in price from when I bought the first one.

For real. I expected him to be ok with it, but the whole dont worry about AL thing was just completely out of left field. Relieves a lot of stress.

I told my boss about my studying (complete career change) and how I would be leaving at some point. Told him about my last lot of annual leave was for my placements and I'd have enough leave for my next placement but after that I'd probably have to leave.

His response was: Don't worry about taking leave for it. We'll work something out.

I was umming and uhhing for months on whether I should tell him or not and decided yesterday to do it because it would then force me to decide how to approach studying/working instead of worrying about it. That went a whole lot better than I expected.

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.

The dream somehow turns into action movie about guitarist saving a country from some kind of chemical warfare.

Desperado in Australia. I'm down for this.
