I got a new big desk! It's big enough for both my personal/actual working computer setup and my lecturing/drawing tablet setup to be side-by-side. With a little spot for a chessboard between them. I need a platform thing for the drawing tablet, though.

I might go to a bar on Friday and watch the Greece vs Germany match because why not? It's at 1:45 local time and I have some vacation to burn. I'm not a huge fan of cricket, but it's all good fun. Besides, Heidegger vs Socrates!

My coworker had a retirement shindig last night. Free beer! I also had a chess match last night. So I went for drinks and then nipped out to play a game.

I wound a few things down, so now I have a little less stress. I turned in all my outstanding homework in numerical analysis, I'd been sitting on one or two problems for weeks.
