tcpipFirst three days of this week were spent at La Trobe University conducting another round of HPC and Linux courses. They were a good class, engaged and interested - at least those that made the effort to turn up were. Next week I have another round except at Deakin University and using (primarily) Australian's most powerful computer Raijin. It uses a different scheduler and resource manager to what I typically work with and has some rather different licensing approaches, so it has also met that I've spent the other two days at work reconstructing the three-day teaching manuals and testing code for the course. Speaking of work, it has been rather grim days. There was a farewell lunch today for several more of our staff as the company begins to move towards a skeleton staff for HPC maintenance alone.
Whilst I am not at the point of public disclosure I must admit an choice issue has been gnawing at me for the past several days (just as well I have been busy), which is generating (quite unreasonably) a great deal of anxiety. Yes, it is potentially extremely disruptive to my life but honestly only relative to this particular stage of my life - I wouldn't be feeling anything like I do fifteen years ago. Worse still, it is somewhat embarrassing because the available choices are extremely beneficial. I apologise to my dear readers for being so cryptic, but I do keep a public journal (even on a now-obscure platform) and as a result I must keep a level of confidentiality. To an extent getting this down is catharitic.
Continuing work on Duolingo goes well. Contrary to some expectations I am not suffering much confusion in vocabulary from taking multiple languages. Attended German class at the CAE on Wednesday and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Duolingo training had a very positive effect. On the way home we encountered a fledgling Tawny Frogmouth. Not exactly the first wildlife rescue we had conducted in the area we whisked it off to the 24-hour vet, where it's doing very well.

Date: 2015-11-15 12:12 am (UTC)I know, I've been stressing about it for days and really it was in the process of writing all this down that came to terms with how I shouldn't be worried at all because it's a choice between the very good and the very good.
All will be revealed soon.

I had to look up Daniel Craig, but I see what you did there :)
