Kelp shake very kelpy

[infryq]

Yesterday P brought the car down to the shop and then went to the dentist to have a filling replaced. I had my normal one on ones, ran the team leads meeting to go over the remaining goals from December and January, and ran support for API documentation updates, brainstorming fixes to the metadata update problem (now 12 hours and counting), and just went ahead and implemented one of the low-hanging fruit. I also messaged C to see if I could tempt her into taking in more of a lab manager role, to at least moderate success. I ran out of things before five thirty so I started a recommendation letter for J.

Dinner, crossword, SG-1, snack, sleep. Dreamt of a dry bar with magic quartz and jelly windows and elderly proprietors with a thing for trees, guidelines for giving your first conference talk, dozens of earbud designs none of which would fit my ears.

Finished Snuff, which had an alarming number of “let’s wrap this up” sections before the actual end. Otherwise glorious. Now wondering whether I was more radicalized by Pratchett or Brust. Porque no los dos, I suppose.
