It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

finally sent the scary email that I've been avoiding about IT security. (because I actually don't want to be the person making the most noise...)

I can't see a post for 30 August, so I'm gonna put my 30 August here:

Today, despite my lower back hurting, I

rang up about getting funding to see a psychologist, and did a lengthy and draining intake interview that asked a lot of very personal, very intrusive questions

washed my hair

went and got a haircut even though I really didn't wanna leave my house

made a formal complaint about a Transperth customer service assistant at Maylands who angrily spoke to me as though I was a naughty dog/child (I hadn't done ANYTHING to justify his anger), and who made me feel genuinely threatened and unsafe

donated books to my local library and grouped them into "Ok for under 15s" and "NOT ok for under 15s" (I read a lot of graphic novels that have too much adult content for kids, and I didn't want the librarian to think "oh, comics = 10 year olds"

went to the post office to get my mail

rang the disability access and inclusion officer @ my local council to report a cafe whose alfresco area was exceeding its marked trading boundary, with the result that wheelchair users couldn't use the footpath, and also about a hole in the footpath opposite that cafe, which compounded the problem.

Am learning that the rabbit hole always goes deeper than you think. And that you can explain a thing the best way you know how and still have it somehow end up being your problem.
