Just met with the Doctor that I'm going to be working under for a project, she is totally AWESOME. This is going to be the best time ever, working towards a goal(what the goal is? I don't entirely know. Still learning about cool things.).

I think like half a year, which fits well for me. We are taking surveys on the beach to do a trial risk assesment for the real study, so that we know that we're not shooting ourselves in the foot over a large amount of money.

Been saving up all the free gcash offers that have recently been happening.

It took forever and an age to sort out my inventory...
(Bugs are cool. And definitely I like having to refresh after every single change I make and after moving anything to or from temp storage and navigating to a new page. Yeah, super cool. [/sarcasm])
But hey, I finally made a new avi with some of those absolutely wondermous gifties our lovely anon sent me a while back!
(That took forever, too, of course, but at least that was expected.)
I'm no longer candy cute or sugary pink. >>;
Been a while since I've done anything in this kind of color scheme, haha~

I love it!!!!!

I love it!!!!!

Thank you~
It makes me inordinately happy to hear when people like my avis.
I was worried the background wasn't going to work out, but it felt so empty without using one, and it was the only I really liked.
I feel like it looks better now that I've been away from it and am seeing it again on my actual avi than it did when I chose it in dress up, though.

Girllll your avatar looks like the unpopular high school kid that attended a world renowned tournament, became a legend, and now has all this cool s**t to show off.
Love it. xd

Ok, so I was on a ship doing an acoustics survey. I was the HAB(Harmful Algal Blooms) technician, my job was to sample for and identify HABs along the west coast. The project that I was on was piggybacking on a Hake survey.
Hake is an important fishery on the west coast. Basically Hake is generic "fish", companies will use it as a cheaper alternative, as such Pacific Hake was being over fished and the survey that I was on will be used to set quotas for harvest.
I was out for around 16 days, up for about 19 hours a day, some of it relaxing(mostly working). It was HARD.
But there were rewarding times; I saw dolphins galore, whales breaching, too much fish....
The best moment was when they were starting to wind down the leg of the cruise that I was on, a line got wrapped around the centerboard(which is how they do the sonar stuff to find the fish and the bottom depth). We were done, like 4 lines past where they wanted to stop. Still it kinda wastes money to go back early. Thing is they couldn't get the line out, it was stuck and we couldn't do anything. They decided to send out the ROV to get a look at it, but no one knew how to actually drive it. So, of course, I volunteered to drive it and they let me. So there I was freaking out with all the higher ups crouching around me. They ended up figuring out that the rope was wrapped on something on the other side of the hull. I saved the boat a day of having to go back to port and have a diver go down to get it free, potentially costing a lot of money.

Ok so they were saying on the boat that the ROV was like 10 thousand dollars...
Later on(just last night) I get told that it is in the 7 figure range.

Yikes that's expensive... eek Glad to know things are ok, at least. It definitely sounds like you've been working hard, but I'm sure it'll pay off! What exactly is an ROV? Also you are so lucky to see whales!! I hope you didn't get dangerously close to them, though, especially during feeding times.

Still questing for Fairlily, which is taking forever. In the meantime, I tried doing the book version of Daenerys Targaryen with the silver hair and violet eyes. It's all I could come up with. ^_^*

An ROV is a remotely operated vehicle, they will have different functions; the one I used was a tiny one that had a camera on it but it was more for surface operations, another one like ones on the E/V Nautilus, Hercules and Argus, are for deep water operations and can have a moveable arm. check out nautilus live on google. One whale that we saw was ahead of us on port moving north and as we were going east I guess it realized that we were heading faster than it thought and started breaching a lot of times to get on our starboard, lot of tail slaps and all the fun stuf later it kinda waved good bye in the distance and dove. I think I have a video.
