a better opportunity to win

I am still somewhat annoyed at events at work today; I had forgotten what it was like to be working under an uberboss who had no understanding of how the information systems work, no interest in the mechanics of information handling or obtaining information, and what one might term an encouraging but less than precise delivery when it came to stipulating parameters for the desired data.

Eventually got the parameters, now just have to build a report that will deliver them.

Oh, for a storm.

Had a pleasant time chatting with kojirose earlier. Nice to commiserate on the unbearable-ness of Nii-ing.

Two more pages of Scales done. Currently on "technomancer opinions on dragons", which seems to mostly equate to "how easy are they to hunt down for body parts and spell ingredients". I am delighted to say that it's a high-risk occupation.
