Little Wins and Small Victories

My wife got around to removing some unneeded furniture from the room and thus was able to move my bed closer to the window.

I feel validated. I’m brand new to working with this kind of data and genetic research in general. I was super confused for the last week about why some data didn’t seem to fit into the correct group, and was even told that the thing was correct but I wasn’t doing things quite right. I sent my manager the list of “incorrect” data and now he thinks that my results are more correct than the curator’s method. He’s working with his collaborators and the data scientist to correct it!

I had like ten new notifications when I opened lemmy today, which (as a commenter-only) is by far a personal record.

I’ve been injured and sedentary too long. A couple of weeks ago I started walking along the bus route until it hurt too much, then hobbled onto a bus back home.

I finally cleaned it! My transformation has begun! Also, scheduled a psych appointment and quit caffeine.

I’ve been putting this off for weeks. I finally decided that I wasn’t going to wait any longer. It feels nice knowing it’s done!

I wanted to be able to skate for years, because two of my girlfriends are super cool hanging out in places with their boards and skating, and it’s a regular activity that they do but I always kinda felt left out from. I tried to skate a longboard two years ago, but I just failed miserably and I gave up for good. Or so I thought!

For those who don’t know, it’s an app for blind people to make video calls for help with visual tasks. I’ve had it downloaded for a while, but there’s a 10:1 ratio of volunteers to blind users (which is a good thing!), so I’ve never managed to be the first person to respond.

I just got pictures, she’s precious!

No more leak!

got a call today asking for an obscure file to be restored from a backup thats not particularly important and literally has not been touched (other than OS maint.) in 2+ years.

I’m a researcher at a medical company, and wrote a bash script that would make it easier to use Google Cloud buckets. Well, I shared it with some coworkers and my manager, and they like it enough that I was asked to present it to the rest of the department!
