This week at work, I've had to explain to someone who works in an IT field that using decimal points in a file name can sometimes lead to computers deciding that everything after the decimal point is the file type.
And that this caused the accounting system to treat the files as potential threats.

I hate this time of year so much. I'm so tired and so emotionally tired and I just want the world to stop so I can get off but I have to do things, organise things and turn up and be Jolly. So I'm just going to keep on swimming and eventually this will pass and I'll be able to pretend to be me again

I'm getting really tired of explaining to people in secured environments that I need them to attach the authorisation for their travel reimbursement because I'm not in that secured environment so I can't just follow the link to access the secured systems and download it for myself!

Walking the dog this evening, and no platypus sightings *sigh*
BUT: four wombats! FOUR!!! And a rakali!
(Photos are of two teenage wombats and one adult female; the adult male was spotted cos he ran away through the shrubs while I was recording a frog going off for FrogID)

Thank you internets, changing the angle helped the stabbities go in much easier. Also, icing the spot beforehand hurt a lot, but honestly less than the stabbities, so yay!

It is ridiculously difficult to get the injection thingy to break skin and I don't wike it.
But the second med doesn't come in an auto-injector pen version in this country, I checked. So the bigger tip it is.
I still don't wike it.

I don't like how these meds are making me feel. I persevere. And tonight, I get to add a second one to the injections!

One of the cool things about it being school holidays is that there are all these fun things that are totally intended for but not exclusive to kids. Like the bug show I went to today at the Botanic Gardens.

The docs switched one of my meds for something that gets injected and I'm terrified. I know things are going to be better and I'm nowhere near as phobic as I used to be but I'm still petrified.
And I'm still going to do the stabbities anyway.

I am so bored. Waiting at the doctor's offices. It's 40 minutes past the time of my appointment and 10 minutes past when Google says the offices close for the day, and I'm still waiting. And so very very bored.

There is nothing that gets my red flag meter going quite like men saying things like "it was hard meeting women because I was interested in (insert nerdy thing here)" when I have distinct memories of certain kinds of men in nerdy thing specifically and repeatedly excluding me from nerdy thing.
