Put my weeks notice in this morning and was marched straight off site (after my long goodbyes) and paid up until the end of the week. Excellent.
New start on Tuesday.

I'm having a laugh after reading a beautiful product of peer reviewing in a paper:

Quote

Fig. 3 depicts the linkage-by-process approach in an admittedly simplifying sketch that may however be suited to capture the main ideas relevant in the present context.

Emphasis added by me.

God we get 18C once a year and its glorious. Typically Scotland hovers between 0C and 15C though (and that's just in summer lol)

I'm looking at your city now Ando. For the next 10 days your average high is 88 low is 79. Rain every day.

My brown dead grass is slowly turning green with new life thanks to little bit of rain that's fell the past week. No more nasty lawns!

Rain every day? Certainly no throughout the year. From June to September, yeah. But our summer, the actuall summer is form mid-march to Mid-June. And that is a killer.

It's awesome here too. I've had the windows open with no AC for a week. In August!

This topic on the asoiaf boards, mostly because it's much, much funnier if you assume every post is about our Abyss.

No joke: I now have to get a purple workout shirt/rashguard for certain large tournaments.

So I'll probably get a couple to swap in and out. More purple in my life isn't a bad thing.

Went looking for a prismacolor marker and came across my wallet with Canadian Tire money in it so decided to count it. Found $91 US in there. Nice. Also, there was 5.55 in Canadian Tire money for anyone wondering.
