Done.
Done. Delivered. The most intense report I think I have ever worked on.
Conceptually, what it takes to get on the report, and then the data to gather for the records that made it, can only be untangled through a series of clauses arranged somewhat hierarchically, and varying ever so slightly in each customer database due to the subtleties of the market’s behavior (namely, what data we get and what shape it’s in).
In my head, it’s intricate and maintains a certain amount of intrigue because of this, but I know that really it’s a beast, unwieldy, standing awkwardly, taking up the whole room, trying to look demure.
It is as accurate as it could be without some type of divine intervention, or alternately, a lot more time. I am pretty confident in it. At the least, only very obscure things could survive undiscovered in the post apocalyptic environment that is this data set.
Tomorrow I expect to spend a good deal of time explaining things and answering questions.

Hair
Since I had the day off, I spent some time doing some long awaited hair maintenance (and I also did a lot of homework, but that’s much less interesting now isn’t it?).
After much mixing of chemicals, I cordoned off the sections of hair destined to fall prey, and awkwardly got them coated up and wrapped in foil. I did panels on either side and in my bangs (sorta) and then did some random streaks/chunks on the top and back. I was initially planning to dye them some weird color after the bleaching completed, but so far i kind of like the way the yellow/orange color looks against the dark brown. Maybe I’ll add some color later though, we’ll see.
Without further ado:
