Step up and be counted!
I filled out my census form that I received in the mail today. Well, I received the online code in the mail today, I should specify. Getting a paper anything these days takes a fair bit of work. It's definitely a good way to save paper, but I worry that it's placing an undue burden on those who don't have the privilege of an internet connection or access to a personal computer. For me, at least, it was quick and easy. I obviously didn't get the long-form census--it was mostly concerned with the number of people residing at my address right now (just me, because KK won't be moving in for another 6 weeks), and my age and sex and gender (there was a separate part of the form for me to specify my gender vs my sex assigned at birth, which was pretty keen!) and the languages I spoke at home. That's it. So no complaints on my end.
I had a decent day at work, but the small project I thought would only take 2-3 hours turned out to be WAY lengthier than I anticipated. Ack and ugh. It's not something I especially want to do, but it's necessary. I've got four months left before the manager comes back to replace me, and I'd prefer it if I actually had something to show for my stint as acting manager other than the smouldering wreckage of two "upgraded" computer networks and the fact that our staff has dwindled by at least 15%. *sigh*
Anyway, I did get good news in that the single candidate we've been waiting to bring in FINALLY got the green light after her last evaluation. I spoke to her just before I left work and she confirmed that she still wants the job! Once she confirms she can start the 31st of May we'll send her a letter of offer. THANK GOD. One down, seventeen million more to go.
In related news, I'm trying to figure out how to share my work calendar to my Google calendar, and it's not yielding any fruit. The internet assumes that my work email can be accessed by logging into Office 365, but we don't use that at work, just Outlook 2016. Or if we do use 365 then it's not accessible via anything other than our secure network, which doesn't help. Alas.
Anyway, it's time to start getting ready for bed. I had a long nap last night which pushed my bedtime to rather later than I intended, but overall I got a decent amount of sleep. I just want to make sure I don't push too far past the point of a "decent" bedtime tonight and start myself back down the path of last week, which was all late nights, all the time. I have D&D tomorrow, which means a late night by definition, so it's all the more reason to make sure I don't overdo it tonight.
