Apparently, I registered here 2006 days ago, so that's fun. Doesn't feel like it's been that long.

I'll be filling in as a TA due to an emergency. Not exactly stoked about it. It's another freshman class that I'm still not 100% sure if it'll be remote or stationary, but whatever. Believe it or not, I made my schedule with this as one of the ongoing contingencies, so it's less of a problem and more about wanting to take a break from teaching. Joys of being the most junior of senior students, I suppose.

The dean at the chemistry department was kinda annoyed with my administrative shuffles, but I've been reinstated as a student to complete my degree. Dunno if it's appropriate to give some sort of gift or not, though I suspect not having to see my face again will suffice.

Microsoft tech support has been so unhelpful I zoned out so completely I had an epiphany and solved the problem while the guy kept droning pretty much the same shit that's in online docs. Mission accomplished? I guess?

The odd/off feeling re time persists. Feels like I'm low energy and somewhat disconnected emotionally, but I simultaneously know it's normal amount of energy fed continuously instead of random bursts. Dunno if that's the new norm, though I begin to like it on its own.
