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!

Plots!

In this case, a complete rework of the figure for one paper for colleague, and a partial rework for consistency for the figures for a second.

Also, lunch with ex-co-workers, which was pleasant, but overly self-indulgent.

Were they evil plots? *grins*

[fred_mouse]

Only the one that I didn't finish - horrid, evil thing that probably requires a completely different approach to get it to work. *sigh*

[alatefeline]

Awww. I'm sorry. Good work, though.

I was able to get people to talk directly and avoid being the person translating poorly. I did this while also rather scared.

Time spent with my partner helping assuage their fears.

And a couple of fics read.

Always good to avoid an un-fun game of Telephone.

[alatefeline]

Awesome work!!!

[azurelunatic]

Examined how I felt and realized when I wouldn't likely be okay.

Communication with all parties involved. Realizing that even though I hadn't meant badly, I was still the one who had screwed up. Acted accordingly.

Work towards making the world a better place in some tiny ways.

Revised evening plans: less dinner out, more communication. Figured out a plan to address some of what had gone wrong, by examining my fears in detail.

Learned that I have my partner's forgiveness. Considered forgiving myself.

Went to bed in a timely manner.

[alatefeline]

That is beautiful.

[azurelunatic]

Thank you. All this is very hard work.

[alatefeline]

*nods* It sounds like it. I am really impressed that you are doing it anyway. And glad that you can see the accomplishment there; that's where I often stumble.

[azurelunatic]

If I didn't put in the work, I probably wouldn't have a functional relationship. I find that I quite like this partner. So. :D

[alatefeline]

Indeed! :D
