I just gave notice.
Gulp. How did it go?
I am at my desk. It is very quiet so far. I don't think the week has actually started yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Also wondering how it went.

Went fine. Some level of shock.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I hope it went well, msbelle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Woo hoo, msbelle.

Glad that step is done!
In other news, my coworkers need to stop all taking vacation at once such that I'm backup for 3 people. It's happening far too frequently of late when I am in the middle of crunch time with my own work and it is really pissing me off. I try very hard NOT to do that to people. We've got a pretty liberal vacation approval policy, but this is getting ridiculous. I'll note I haven't had a vacation in 5 months.

OK, Alka Seltzer consumed. I hope that does something for the residual queasiness.

The real feeling of all this got much much realer. It was just announced to management of our department.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ancient painting of the giant bird that roamed Australia 40,000 years ago
This is perhaps the oldest painting on the continent of Australia. It depicts the Genyornis, a giant bird that went extinct 40,000 years ago. And it's one of the only snapshots we have of the ancient creature.
Scientists discovered the red ochre painting two years ago, and at first thought it might be an emu. Now they're convinced it really is the Genyornis, which would mean this painting is older than 40 thousand years.
When did Neanderthals go extinct? 40-50 thousand years ago? I wonder if there are any cave painting of them. Probably none that have been found so far....
