Journaling a Console Pt III: Verre Egolmise

I’m not going to go into the nitty gritty. Needless to say Events transpire. Some we would rather not transpire. Especially unfortunate ones which transpire when we’re trying to get to the end of a very long project…

Resulting in me taking a crash course in the a-fore mentioned verre eglomise, a fancy French way of saying- reverse gilding onto glass.

Journaling: The Pain and Benefit of Admiting You Were Wrong

Someone came up with this nonce idea of journaling my workdays in so that I wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. I thought it was pretty stupid, until I made the same mistake a fourth and fifth time, making it pretty hard to progress further with work. It got me thinking- since I only have £18 left in my account this month and can’t afford to go out- I might as well give it a whirl.
