Today was a good and productive day at work. A fun day, all things considered. Especially the following section of the day:
Me: So I was thinking about your offer of extra work, and I could go for 4 nights a week for 4 hours a night
John: OK... so how much are you making now? X an hour?
Me: 1.07X
John: So how's 1.67X sound?
Me: Well...
John: More?
Me: I'd like 2X
John: OK... well, I can't imagine there being any problems with that
Math Challenge Time! It's my journal, I can include whatever I like! The question is, given that all rates of pay are whole dollars and all ratios are correct to 2 decimal places, and X is the second smallest positive solution, find what all the rates involved are.
So this is all promising. I also worked out how to automated word and create table entries, and fill them, adding to my list of automation skills. I came home and did some useful things, as well as a normal rujark adventure which had a terrible drop rate, but it was with a group that wanted to do a hard, so we smacked it down anyway.
There was also some conversations of note that I will not go into on a public post.
