Those Red Skies Don’t Lie
I read the news over the New Year about those fires in Australia. I just don’t see how those deniers can keep denying. 500 million or 1 billion animals dead (I see two different numbers quoted)? Between all of those flooding, the category 5 hurricanes and those fires, I can’t see how it can be denied that something is happening. Now, I understand those in the coal industry or in the oil and gas industry might be in denial but I think they would be the minority population. I happen to live in a city that is pretty much all about oil and gas, but the city has been trying to diversify from that industry. From what I have read, the engineers are moving into clean energy and technology; it’ll be tough but they have the talent to try to figure out how to get clean energy or how to deal with climate change. That is where we need their talent to focus.
We have to do it – we just have to do it.
We also have to help those adversely impacted by the job loss in the coal or oil and gas industry. We need to help the non-engineers move to another line of work.
Updates on ACA
I’m really tired. I believe I finished the first stage of the ACA which is the paper forms. For three weeks I’ve worked days and nights, including Saturdays and Sundays, checking out the numbers and researching the dates. About 15% or 500 records needed to be researched and corrected.
So I was wiped out by this weekend; hence the short post.
Now I have to do the second stage which is the electronic submission. This could go as a breeze if they don’t change things or it could be a trauma.
What tires me out is the stress of seeing data that don’t make sense and the stress that a single error in the programming could derail the electronic submission. I just hope the electronic schema hasn’t changed – at least not by much.
