Yesterday my laptop again refused to ssh to campus. The spare Air also refused. P’s machine agreed, so I borrowed it for the twenty minutes it takes to look over the aggregation results and commit them. I had a morning full of meetings, so I didn’t need it until after lunch, when it apparently also started to refuse to ssh out. P rebooted the whole house network, and magically everything worked again! Hooray. I met with L, a new volunteer with a process improvement background; we’re having him do some basic monitoring of the map site for now but will probably put him on some more technical tasks next week. I went to therapy, which was good; it helps me sort out what things are genuinely wrong versus minor annoyances, and reminds me that I am in general a ridiculously agreeable person mysteriously robust to the worst of the downsides of that trait. I met with F and the team from M about how to handle the difference between recorded time and start time, and give an overview of the smoothing code. I met with the indicators team and we had a long discussion about only having bad options for computing standard error for particularly small regions on one of the particularly odd metrics that makes geographical pooling difficult. I went to the team leads meeting and gave our update. I then got stuck in an analysis problem and it was suddenly 7pm, so I wrote it up, sent it out, and called it a day.

Dinner, crossword, direct to sleep. Slept ridiculously poorly; combination of bad body heat management and surprise period cramps. No one’s favorite thing.
