# 08:00 Good morning to anyone that might be reading this. I removed the masking tape around the edges of the walls I painted last night. That mostly went well. I have a couple of spots where the paint was pulled off. So now I will have to fill and fix that. That will be a job to start later this evening, if I have time. Mrs. Chris also wants me to go to the supermarket. Half term is over now. I tried to get Jonas up for college. He didn't want to go to English. It is hard to make him go if he doesn't want to go. I will try again soon to see if i can get him to go to carpentry. I have noticed that I have this habit of dropping the beginning part of sentences. e.g. "Will try to get", instead of "I will try to get". I think that has been caused by too much typing on a phone and trying to make things easier. I am sure there is a name for that. I went and looked it up on Google. I couldn't find a name for it, but I did find that it is a real thing. It occurs because the human brain works faster than you can type so it intentionally omits words that it thinks don't matter and that can automatically get filled in by the brain when reading. That sounds really interesting to me. You probably haven't noticed that in my writing. That is because I really try hard to correct my writing before I publish, and tend to add those words back in. I do like to try to write as well as I can. It is really weird actually. I was never very good at English at school and never did very well in those exams. In the end I took my GCSE English exam 3 times and always never got a grade higher than a "D". I find that since I have grown up, I really enjoy audiobooks, reading, and writing. A one point a few years ago I was even involved in an OpenSource book project. Differences between American English, and British English is very interesting to me. It was fun to tease Kate with some of those differences. I always laughed at the difference between pants (UK) and pants (US). # 16:30 I had a great day's work today. One of those days when you feel like you have achieved something. I fixed all my Terraform code and now there are no errors, and no warnings either. Tomorrow, I will need to apply it and see if it will apply without any errors. "Terraform plan" is great, but I wish it would also detect apply time errors. Tomorrow, I will hopefully meet the new guy at work. Finally, someone to replace one of the people that left. I also found out what it is called when you leave words out of sentences - Left Edge Ellipsis. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/grammar/british-grammar/ellipsis https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/11482/distinguishing-between-types-of-ellipsis-where-different-parts-of-a-sentence-rem I may have been mixing two different things up earlier. That's the difference between at dictionary, and a result from Quora / Reddit
