Finally stuff seems to be working out, but only after a lot of effort and a few tears here and there (joking about the tears part). I have conquered part of the code and the damn radio seems to be doing what I’m telling it to do! Amazing, yes. God damn engineering is frustrating. I’m also amazed how much taking a step back from the work can be in getting it completed. Example, I was up till midnight trying to get this code working and then I gave up in frustration. I came back this morning and *bam* I instantly saw what was going wrong.
I think my accent is slightly changing, but into what I don’t know. I listen to BBC the whole day pretty much, and then I probably watch the latest Dr Who or Top Gear episodes when I get home. That’s a lot of Brit accent. Then I’m hearing American accents at work – what’s a real crack up is when a guy with a Brooklyn accent gets fired up and starts swearing. It’s hilarious! If I end up sounding like that when I cursed I wouldn’t care too much.
I got news yesterday that my Visa renewal petition had been approved, so at some point in the near future I’m to take a trip to Canada and go snowboarding or something. Oops, I mean, get my Visa renewed at the consulate there.
