Time to move dawn up a bit
Oct. 10th, 2019 07:29 amYesterday morning my phone freaked out, rebooted itself, then shut itself off. I think the battery is going. I’m working on coming to terms with having to get a new phone which I will no longer be able to use one-handed. boo.
I put some time into the draft of the alumni letter in support of the trans and nb students demanding Olin finally do something about the horrendous state of Title IX and supporting services in student life. Makes me mad that rather than turn its considerable problem-solving powers to this issue when it was first raised seven years ago, Olin essentially sat on its hands. The same failing policies are in place today, placing the same onus on harassed students for actually making any changes. We built a whole school in less time.
At work I gave up on the free tier test and got everything to run on a t2.medium machine with small tweaks to the readme and installation files. Next is tackling the walkthrough, but I don’t wanna. I spent the rest of the afternoon on a literature search for surveys of work task in administrative assistance. A surprisingly sparse field.
Home, dinner, trash, crossword, Elementary, more edits to the alumni letter, snack, sleep. Dreamt of murder mystery theater at living history sites, trans friends from high school, dyeing my hair, and riding horses in full historical dress.
