busy

During the last few days, I've managed to check various bills and paid them off. That's good. I checked the bank afterwards, and I'm still surprised at how much money I've stored away. It's minuscule compared to what anybody would recommend, but I'm doing so much better than most Americans in the USA. I seriously need to work on finding someone who can build new steps for me at the front and back doors to the house. The back is literally rotting out, so I have to watch my step when I take the trash to the dumpster.

As for work, it seems busier than expected at my job this spring semester, and I don't understand why. I had a 15-minute trash video I wanted to watch today on YouTube, and I got about 8 minutes into it throughout the whole day. No spare time for trivialities between tickets.

Again speaking of work, I'm not really a fan of the "New" experience in Microsoft applications like Outlook. I needed to clear Outlook cache for someone today, and it's not obvious how to do it in the new environment. I tried these 4 simple steps from Microsoft, and they actually worked to solve the problem the user was having! And it doesn't require local administrator privileges either, which is great.

A bit of good news: Physics Girl has posted a new YouTube video! It's an 8-minute video about solar physics and neutrinos. At the end, she talks very briefly about her Long Covid experience. It's good, though, that she's well enough to do a video again, even if it's filmed while she's still in bed.
