delight: girl with parakeet (serious consultation)
Well, I have 46.1% of my edits made, and three visualizations that aren't complete disasters (talk to me about how it took over an hour to make a circle! or maybe don't) and I'm really tired of it. It's due tomorrow night and I want to stop looking at it.

Today also included:

– Taking Trip to CGC class which resulted in him also managing to eat a hot dog and a very very little bit of ice cream in his own bowl. Carvel has a dog size.

– Being dared to submit something to Clarkesworld, and realizing I have nothing that meets the parameters, so trying to figure out if I should write something new or not? The dare had monetary parts. My usual fiction editor (btw if you need an editor, she's taking more clients, actually legitimately talk to me about that one) is down to try it out.

– Keeping the dog out of the house for the entire time it was being worked on so that he didn't do his scaredy-dog thing where he sat in a corner and growled.

– Not melting to death, but only barely.


ETA: Searching for stickers on Redbubble for my grant notebook and ... why are all the kitsune one-tailed? I need a(n obvious) kitsune for this thing, not just a fox. Nothing against just-foxes.

Google Data Studio, I really need those names of pages to be full-length and I do not understand why you absolutely refuse to cooperate with me. Since I can't print out the live data and put it on the hard copy of the paper, you need to show all the information so I can screenshot you ... not this.

evidence of the crime. )

The most satisfying thing about a graduate thesis: when I'm writing up my own data, I don't have to cite a damn thing, because I'm looking at my own analytics and writing up what I'm looking at. My stuff is the primary source.

Yes, citations do give me that much stress.
