It caused lots of problems to get another extension but I'm now employed until mid-December, yaay

I Did The Presentation

I theoretically have a presentation in our group meeting in an hour and a half and I'm trying to finish preparing, but my prof just said he's teaching so we could move it maybe next week or maybe tomorrow, I didn't understand his final decision, and then he started talking to somebody else when I was opening my mouth to ask again, and so I didn't ask and now I have no clue when I'm presenting

I finished Foz Meadows' An Accident of Stars before sleeping yesterday and this book is hitting hard. It's fantasy, but *very real* fantasy.

So of course I'm already 15% into the second book now

Good morning, I don't want to work

Like as much as I like latex, the picture placement if you want to do anything more advanced than putting them side by side? aaaargg.

Current work status:
I got tired of recompiling over and over my pictures-heavy presentation which I write in org-mode and export in beamer (and my presentation is tomorrow), so now I just took the pdf, synchronized it to my office linux computer, connected by ssh, separated all the pages into individual pdf files, synchronized them back to the laptop I'm working on, and I just paste the pictures with inskape now.

The downside of working even just a tiny bit though the weekend: I start the week already thinking "what, today again?"

Anyway, good morning to timezone comrades, good day to those who are already bravely fighting through their monday, and good night to those who are going to bed sunday

In other news I repotted my tomato plants in a bigger pot, but now the little tomatoes are angry and they didn't grow since a week

The measurement is not super precise because I just hold some string around them, then measure the string against a ruler. But I'm proud that I can just fill in the table every time emacs asks me to, and then just plot it from there, I find it very satisfying

Me: removing the pipes under my sink to clean them.

Also me: rincing my hands at this sink with the water falling straight on my feet

Anyway I hope you all have a nice weekend.

Welp so I spent 4 hours writing 2/3 of a page of introduction for the paper we officially have until the end of the week to finish.

Admitting my thesis will be about 150 pages, since I guess I'll have about 2 months to write it (in any case less than 3 because my prof rebuked me when I put 3 months in my time plan), that's 15 hours per day including weekends

So I'm screwed
