Called dean's office today. Quickly explained the problem, the office assistant only asked one question - who's my supervisor. They said he'll be added in a moment - and sure enough, I checked the system 30 seconds later and here it is. This was MUCH less painful than I expected.
Always be polite to office assistants, secretaries, etc., as they can do you a lot of good if treated nicely.
Imx, those are the people in any organization that have the real power. Having them on your side (or at least not your enemy) is vital to success.

I have a chess clock (and chess set) in my cubicle. I hardly ever touch it, but when I come in in the morning, there's a 50:50 chance the clock is running.
I wonder if the night maintenance crew is playing with it.

Status: For some strange reason, Google suddenly decided to start giving me the search results page in Spanish. Android and Chrome were both set to English, but I eventually checked the settings under the menu on the Google results page, and it was set to Spanish. I did not change that setting; I'm not sure I even knew it existed until I went looking for it.

Status: So in C++ world you can forward-declare things so you can self-reference (for example) among other things.
Apparently, this idiocy is not allowed to be used when making Blueprint compatible delegate types, because the given parameters must be a
U-Whatever
type, and that doesn't get generated with a simple forward-declaration. Makes sense.So, I'm refactoring out a class pointer reference into an int that represents it (it's basically the identity for that class anyways so this is technically fine), and finding that almost nothing actually uses the class pointer anyways.
Joys.

Status: Just had a bit of fun setting up a local replica of Azure Mobile Apps because I just love pushing stuff right into production. Which, coincidentally, Firebase forces you to do. If you want to have a debug/development instance of Firebase, tough luck, that's really hair-raising stuff where you have to munge around with multiple files. And God Forbid you forget to replace those file back before compiling the release version!
With Azure (at least now that I got it set up) it's easy:
#IF DEBUG static string connectionURL = "http://localhost:3000"; #ELSE static string connectionURL = "https://foo"; #ENDIF
But seriously, they referenced VS2015 and SQL Express 2014 and some formerly included tools, when it's now VS2019, SQL Express 2017 and the tools have to be downloaded from elsewhere. Coupled with some things which were automatic before and now have to be explicitly created before starting the app and it was a bit annoying.
Working now, though.

I blame virus programs.

It was garbage.

At least it wasn't toilet paper. Running out of that on a Sunday sucks. Banana peels or home-made tortillas emphatically DO NOT make adequate substitutes.

@Benjamin-Hall that sounds like a lot of bad decisions.

Do they have Sunday shopping ban in the first world? The few times I've been there, I haven't really noticed it. I thought it's only the post-Soviet states and other shitholes that have such amazing ideas.

Status: Trying to delete messages in an attempt to reclaim space in Google Drive from GMail...
Because apparently I have 2GB of attachments saved up (or something).
Rediscovered I have an account with Smule.
Naturally I don't recall the password, and the one it gave in the introduction email back in 2012 (when I apparently created it) does not work.
But it remembers me by email (which it helpfully tells you if it's registered to an account or not at the login screen. Useful!), and once I reset my password it asked me to confirm...
... uh.....
(No, there isn't a link attached to that button, it'shref=""
