    Another 6 months, another Biodiversity Lecture.

    I was paid for three projects by cheque, a rather large cheque actually, but the account it came from had a project title I’d never heard of. Having experienced the wacky bookkeeping of the university before, I sent of an email to the client, who said he’d go investigate. Then I waited. And waited.
    The problem with cheques is that they’re not quite real until you deposit them, and having this one sitting around was a bit of an itch in the greedy recesses of my brain. Yesterday, having waited a month, I sent another email to the client, who said that it was a clerical error they knew about and I could go ahead and cash the thing.
    Success! And in addition, I received two mystery envelopes in the mail from HP. They contained cheques for rebates I had submitted three years ago. When the rebates originally didn’t show up, I phoned, I was told I failed to meet some requirement, I gave up. Surprise money!
    It’s funny what a sudden influx of cash-you-thought-you-had-coming-but-weren’t-really-sure-about can do to your mood. It doesn’t get you happiness, but it does get you freedom from worrying, which goes a long way.

    And another page in the Chronicles.

    Tired, cranky. Too much to do.

    I rather hate apostrophes, damn posessive nouns.

    And a little more for you in the Chronicles.

    Another year, another ski trip; or more specifically, a weekend of drinking and partying with some skiing thrown in.
