Oh wait, I think I did the one about not enjoying my job any more already.

By all accounts you should have learned something new today, do you agree with the saying? If so, what is the something new that you learned today? For me: Yesterday: All speed boats attempting the speed record have an infinity sign insignia. Today: When a director tilts the camera, such as in Fear and Loathing and Brazil, it's called a Dutch Angle, because German films in the 1930s used it alot. Doesn't have to be interesting (as you can see :p ) |

That explains nothing! Surely German tilt would be appropriate? Hmmm. Today I learnt that I can buy film more cheaply elsewhere than from Fuji directly. |

I learnt a small, boring (even to me) detail about my work process today - sadly, I think that's about it

Agreed. I think the facts above just shoved the last bits of GCSE French out of my head to make room. Oh well, it's probably more useful anyway.  I actually learnt a fair bit about SSL certificates today. |

I really hate SSL certificates. It's almost extortion.
