Submarining

A small nod to yesterday as I found an attractive squid, waved it at the GF and brought it home for dinner (to eat, not to host).

Also had an extended moment of work-related panic as I had to give a quote for a project and, as usual found myself virtually incapable of calculating how much it should be. I always under-quote, and tried very hard to not do that this time, but still reduced the quote below what I thought it should be, clicked send, and was white lipped for the rest of the day until I received an email from the company’s HR department asking for a call for reasons unspecified, at which I nearly died of a stroke. A minute later I got an email from the person comissioning the project saying my proposals sounded fine to her, so I revived a bit, though I am still quite sure that the call on Monday will be about reducing the amount.

In other news, my listmaking and ticking off items is going well. In particular, I have devised a promising way forward for Chinese study which I will discuss in greater detail once it is implemented.
