h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

First of all, a big shout out to Jen, who had her first day at work yesterday, and with whom I'm hoping to keep in better contact than I have done for the past couple of years.

Second of all, a big shout out to my other absent friends, with whom I have such difficulty finding time to correspond.

I'm having a non-work day today, which means I will be doing all the things which aren't related to my PhD research or my teaching, but which are nonetheless essential for maintaining my life, home and sanity. I'll be checking my financial status, to ensure I can go drinking at some point. I plan to plan the rearrangement of my room, and if possible, implement the design. I also want to buy some small pieces of card, so I have something I can carry around everywhere and write things on at random, so I don't need to remember everything, then sort out at a later date. In particular, I would like to take notes so I can make better journal entries.

"Thanks for listening."
