Go go go go go

Yesterday I babied the aggregator through coping with a stale git repository, handled the Indicators meeting, and went to the big group meeting. I chased down tasks that people had agreed to at the Friday meeting but conveniently forgotten about in the meantime. Lunch, then I called back the second HVAC company and made an appointment for an estimate a week from Wednesday. I spent the rest of the afternoon helping H locate geo JSON files for Puerto Rico, organizing a set of low-urgency tasks for N to work on that will fit into her teaching schedule, and deciding with F what fix schedule to use for the survey identifiers bug and running and fixing the lagged weighted aggregations accordingly. Met with L at 4, and learned about an alarming shift in the behavior of the doctor visits signal. That relationship is paying off so I’m glad we’ve stuck with it. Doctor visits is also lagged way more than usual. Unfortunately I am not currently having L check for lag, and have no way to back-generate since we’re not recording issue dates yet. For the immediate problem, A is fixing the lag (it turns out our data partner surprise changed the file format, gee thanks) and I’ve inquired for someone else to check on the behavior change.

Dinner, then I interviewed an intern candidate. I’m quite pleased; we’re hiring him and he’ll start tomorrow. We apparently mutually assumed the other was on pacific time when we’re both in Pittsburgh, which is funny, but it’s a relief to not have to worry about accommodating the west coast and France simultaneously. A wee bit of crossword time, then helped be part of a surprise Zoom birthday call for C, which was tons of fun. P participated largely out of frame, which was hilarious. Lots of old familiar faces.

Finished the crossword, then snack and sleep. Dreamt, but they’ve already faded.

Bone Witch is taking the same approach with the main character’s nemesis as mom did with mine back in second grade. I approve. The reader is also finding her stride in the action sequences.
