[16:43:30] <Bytram> so, it is NOT all caps.
[16:51:20] <Bytram> Grr... not sure what I fat-fingered, but a half hour's worth of composition for an SN story, just disappeared.
[17:05:13] <Bytram> Well, at least I have the component docs gathered and parsed, nothing to do but start over.

[18:01:22] <janrinok> AzumaHazuki, hi, how's things?
[18:01:55] <AzumaHazuki> stressful but stable(ish). i passed that national certifying exam, but they're making us all stew for 2 weeks waiting for precise results
[18:03:26] <janrinok> Congratulations! I'll bet you aced it
[18:05:12] <janrinok> do you need a specific pass level to do what you talked about, or is it simply a 'pass' that you needed?
[18:06:14] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: WOO HOO! congrats!
[18:06:46] <AzumaHazuki> a pass. but this is bugging me, and it feels like something predatory is chasing me...
[18:07:10] <janrinok> just be optimistic - it's probably not as bad as you imagine
[18:21:06] <janrinok> AzumaHazuki, I'll keep my fingers crossed for another couple of weeks then...
[18:21:36] <AzumaHazuki> i don't mean about the exam so much. it's that i need to leave the country and feel like i won't make it in time
[18:21:51] <AzumaHazuki> it's blurry and indistinct, but i sense something big coming
[18:22:51] <janrinok> ah, that's probably your next training session with Bytram ... ;)
