Ooh. Is that out now? Maybe we can go see it tomorrow when it's hotter than hell outside. 30+ degrees isn't supposed to happen in England!

Too bad we are separated by miles or we’d be watching it together after sparking up and listening to Shakedown Street.

By the way Nan, I found a store that sells wearable chips with LEDs that you could easily program to flash when the ISS is overhead

I’ve been doing some projects with the microbit lately, I know that’s very portable and can run a python script that calls a web service to locate the ISS

It's expected you get your work done within the hours they assign, I'm working fewer hours today because of the extra I put in but it just means more work to cram into not enough time next week.


Margo, can you ask to buddy up with an experienced staff member for a day of two? Pick somebody who manages their workload in time, not a slow person who remains in the office when everybody has finished and gone.

Sympathies on the swollen knee. Can you ask the GP for a scan?

The only person I could "buddy up" with is the one who was training me, but its entirely an issue of workload and expectations. My interests don't line up with the essentials of the role at all, and on top of that have the health stuff going on. I'm grateful to have a job so I have to find a way to be interested, I just haven't figured it out yet. My doctor doesn't care about my knee, but they did do a full spine xray and have said they'll waive some of the MRI requirements if the current pain doesn't improve. I was clear I do not trust their practice physio because she didn't believe things that have happened from uneducated physios in the US so they aren't having me see her. I will not let someone's ego cause me lasting harm again.

Went and saw the movie, it was fantastic!  Seems like the entire audience was Americans old enough to have been alive when it was actually happening.

The crowd scenes were interesting, barely saw anyone smoking and almost every male was wearing an actual suit.  In Florida, in July. 

There were parts where even though you knew the end, you were still absolutely on the edge of your seat.

Oh I didn't see this before.  I would have trained it over and met up with you.  I LOVE space stuff!
