Things I Learnt From Yesterday

Good morning, Readers!

Got this adorable image from organizationallearning9.wordpress.com. Click for link.

Yesterday was all about learning things.  I learnt so much!  Chances are I'll forget those lessons, but for now I would like to impart to you what I learnt, so that you don't have to relive my lessons.

You're welcome.

ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR WORK

Yesterday there was a fire drill at work.  I was nearing the halfway point in my daily word goal of two thousand words.  I hit save, but had to leave.  The whole time I was walking down the stairs, and waiting outside, all I could link about was how long it was since I had backed up my writing.  I was sweating bullets, because if this wasn't just a drill, and if the fire then I'd have lost close to fifty thousand words.  I was close to tears.

Luckily, it was just a drill.  I returned to my desk about half an hour later and continued to write.  I was late in reaching my word goal, but that is alright.  I still made my goal.

And then I backed that shit up.

Yeah.  Always back up your work, folks.

Ottawa Weather Doesn't Care About Your Umbrella

Walking home yesterday was an adventure.  It was fine most of the way, and then a thunderstorm rolled in.  There's something quite invigorating about walking home with thunder rolling overhead.  This, too, was fine.  I actually really enjoyed it.  I also enjoyed the rain.

I was less impressed with the wind that whipped up, and then changed directions so many times it actually twisted the struts on my umbrella.  So, I have a broken umbrella.  It's still functional, thank goodness, but that's because I went home and untwisted everything.

The worst thing is, this is a loaner from a friend.  Sorry Bill.  The wind broke your umbrella.

Killing Fictional People While Running Past Them is Hella Fun and I Don't Know What That Says About Me

Last night I streamed Assassin's Creed Unity as I usually do on a Wednesday night (it's not always Assassin's Creed Unity. That just happens to be the game I'm currently working my way through), and I had an absolute blast.  Now that I know more or less what I'm doing (though I seem to forget the controls from week to week), it's genuinely fun.

I should have spent more time playing through the main story, as I went and did all the side quests at my level or below first, and now that I'm playing story quests, it's telling me everything I already know; all the things that I had to learn the hard way.

Oops!

Still, it's stupid fun to sprint past someone harassing people and to slit their throats.  Sometimes you do cool slides, or spinning jumps.  It's awesome!

Playing this game has me eager for Assassin's Creed Origins.

Also, I really enjoy having people join me while I play.  You lot are really awesome in the chat, so helpful to each other and to me.  It's awesome.  Honestly, that is the only reason I stream, instead of just playing.  I love having you all join me.  So, uh, thanks for that.  It's super awesome of you.

And now I've run out of time for lessons I learnt yesterday.  I have to get going on my language lessons.

​Ciao!
