Doing extra is never wasted effort. It might not be necessary for the specific report you are doing, but what you learn creates a much better foundation for your future learning, both within the course and in life in general. The things you will be doing in the future will all build on the knowledge you are gaining now, so the less thorough you are now the more you will struggle in the future.

My much-used travel mug developed a minor leak which caused it to drip on me every time I drank from it. I ordered a replacement yesterday (the exact same model) and thanks to the wonders of Amazon it was delivered today. The wonders of the modern age.

My plans for a chicken schnitzel burger were destroyed by my lack of a burger bun. I had a few long rolls so made a chicken schnitzel sub instead. It's weird how a different shaped roll makes a completely different meal.

I thought I had a nasty patch of dry skin on the back of my hand, but it turned out to be dried remnants of the icing from my morning tea.

I'm trying to imagine how I would feel if someone tried to assassinate me. I'm stuck on a complete inability to imagine anyone caring enough about what I am doing to make an attempt.

I've also seen it more dramatically stated as "don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm ".

It comes up a lot on the caregiving Reddit sub, there are way too many people who are manipulated into prioritizing other people's needs above their own.

The Remuneration Tribunal that determines the wages of Victorian politicians has just released it's determination. The government which has a policy that govt. sector employees should have wage rises capped at 3% has just been awarded 3.5% raises for themselves.

I forgot to have lunch. I am now very hungry so I think I'll go straight to early dinner.
