lin has had two consecutive rough days

I have scheduled this 2021-02-19T22:48:30+09:00 so it will not be immediately visible in my journal. I want it to be buried and not show up on the front page at that time, but anyway

She had a tough day yesterday with a client saying She betrayed her. Now I know She better than the client and am quite certain She did not intentionally do anything to betray this client. She did admit She has been overly busy at work so could have done something better, but she basically works her ass off every day. I know that. I see that all the time.

Then today she got a crazy email from her aunt. WTF should this be happening?

I am worried about She, and cannot chat with her right now as I am writing because my phone is dead (because I played too much fucking Best Fiends today and did not charge my phone). Today is also the day that TJ Bike got his second surprise flat tire in 2 or 3 months so I am on the bus headed home.

I just replace-stringed She with She in this document.

panic prep for speech friday

My speech is in a couple days, and I am essentially ready.

• ~~Meet with Soness a few times to write the speech~~
• ~~Begin drawing line art to help me memorize it~~
• ~~Buy a phone holder for my tripod~~ (done today!)

Future me has a few things to do:

• Finish line drawings of all the chunks to augment memorization
• Finish creating a worksheet to augment audience understanding
• Ask organizers how many people are likely to attend
• Print the worksheet that many times
• Bring Francois
• Go and have a great time
• Set up camera before my speech

tj bike flat tire

TJ Bike has a flat tire. He was fine this morning and now the back tire is completely flat. Not just flat, but air gushes out of it when I try to inflate it.

This happened about 2 or 3 months ago, and my cynical side assumes someone is fucking with me. To solve things, I am going to get punctureless tires on TJ Bike. Plus I have already wanted to have punctureless tires for the convenience.

I am sitting at the bus stop now after leaving TJ Bike at the bicycle parking lot. I will address the flat tire with the staff tomorrow (like I have time for that :-/ (I mean I do, but I'd rather be able to focus on speech preparation)) Most of the staff know me as the genki barefoot guy, so I hope to at least be understood / taken seriously.
