Hello Weird! I hope everyone is doing well.
Random post: I have been playing this game (and some of its relatives too) and I thought I would comment it in case someone is interested. I was surprised to discover I had not idea where today's capital was located :)

Very cool. I knew yesterday's country and everything except things like how big the country is and how many inhabitants. I never know this.
Today's country I didn't recognise, though once I knew I had the neighbours correct at first try, lol. And I even guessed the city sizes correctly.
It is very difficult to know the country, if all you see is the shape and not how big it is. I mean you could show me the shape of for example Sierra Leone and Poland with the same size and I definitely wouldn't recognise Sierra Leone.
Soooo, 80% progress 12months. I must admit, my excitement died down a bit. But I know it will come back once we have a release date.
I am still reading Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey. Currently at book #5.
There are 12 books, so I still have some to enjoy. Probably there still won't be the next DF book when I'm done with them.

Hello!
The game sometimes is frustrating, because it shows very small Caribbean or South Pacific islands that I could never identify. But I am getting better with Africa and Asia.
You are absolutely right about the size. I remember once it took me three guesses to know Uruguay, my closest neighbourg.
It is because for some reason I imagined the country shown in the game was much bigger. I was not sure about today's country at first but I knew the wide region where it was, so I began guessing and I succeeded. And yes, size, population, cities and sometimes money are just lucky guesses in my case. I have a lot of fun with that though.
I have been quite busy these days, so no reading because I was tired. But I am about to finish the episodes of The Orville. Only 3 or 4 to go. I really liked the show but each episode is so long...

Maen weird!
What's up? ***waves hello***
Nothing new. Still reading Sandman Slim, being tired, waiting for the next opportunity to fall asleep.
Learning Norwegian on Duolingo. It's fun so far.
At work it is still not clear how it will go on. Our guess is, that sooner or later they'll put us together with my old department (the one I left). If so, I'll play nice as long as they don't piss me off.
I am just a bit annoyed that nobody tells us anything, even when we are asking. So let's wait and see. I would like to stay in this department, because I really like it there. I am safe from job loss, but they can make me go where I don't want to. For example the children's hospital. It is not that I can't do the work. I can manage the work just fine, it is more about having to see the dying children and getting to know them. Children with cancer and other deadly illnesses. It is enough to work with their blood and know their histories. But having to see them and their parents, knowing they are not going to make it.
Dina:
Hello everyone!
Today country was easy in that game.
Norwegian sounds so different. You are being brave :)
How are the kitten doing?
I really hope things go well for you and you are allowed to stay in your department, because yes, the possibilites you mention are terrible. And I think it would be worse for you, a mother of two girls, than it would be for me, a childless woman, even if all the other things were the same for us. So, I really hope you do not have to live that experience.
It is a hot day here, and they say it would be worse tomorrow, but they are forecasting a cold Sunday night.
