anyone can fall apart, let's fall together

I was going to post a massively introspective post about respect and the past and validation and shitty advice but things came up so I need to actually write about that.

1) I think I can get Meagan to be EIC. Maybe. She's an INTJ who has had more than passing thoughts about the position. She'd prefer to take shadow somebody first, but since she's in Ottawa... not so good. I need a YES by the end of term. But she introspects like me a bit ("I won’t lie and say that I haven’t thought about EIC...") and I haven't effed up too bad so I guess that's fine.

2) A big middle finger to the material analysis for the tower cladding. Fuck the cladding. And the meeting minutes. At least our tower will have nonstandard bracing.

3) I've been watching the Magic School Bus and the Red Green Show on Youtube lately...

4) MakeItFrom is a fantastic materials property database. Very steel. Much wollastonite. Wow.

5) One plus side of being EIC in the last term: use of this office. It's a giant locker for all my crap. And has a microwave and fridge. I literally could just live here if I really wanted to.

Anyways if I had done it earlier, then I'd have to get used to not having an office and two screens (potentially 3, if the desk was bigger).

JT assures me that all the editors end up kind of living in the office and abusing editorial privileges.

He also says there's going to be a production weekend in which the editor has a nervous breakdown and guzzles all the booze in the room. For him that happened on the Canada Day issue, where nobody was at production weekend because he put it on Canada Day. Speaking of booze, the booze article this issue is being written by a first year who can't even drink yet.

6) WHY DOES THIS PROF LIKE IMPERIAL UNITS SO MUCH EVERYTHING IS IN LIN FT AND LBS
