Oh, I know it makes more sense....
My degree is in biochemistry, and while in school I did lab work, do I measured
in ml, liters, temperature in C just fine.
That’s fine written in a lab book, but I don’t relate that at all to real life
things. Much has to do with it being like muscle memory over 50 years.
If I hear on the morning news that it is 50 degrees out, I know exactly how to
dress without giving it a thought.
Of course weather here temps given in F.
I would have no idea without stopping whatever I was doing, and grabbing phone
or iPad or computer and googling to see how hot or cold 50 C was.
Lol, it’s hitting me lately photographing with manual lenses, most are marked
both in meters and feet, but I recently got ahold of an old Russian one that is
in meters only, and I have to keep doing wuick maybe in my head that a meter is
roughly neat 3 feet or a yard....
I’m getting better at it, but I have to stop and think about it.
Oh well..,growing up before the internet, I of course had no real contact with
anyone outside of the US...so, it never came up, you never cam across anything
metric really in daily life.
But, now I do, but thanks to the internet, I also generally have the means to
look up the conversions.
😃👍

Hi Kelly,
Working in metric is so much easier (although I forget when we switched
here). But 0c for freezing makes far more sense than 32F... the UK often had
both measurements, but metric was the main one.
for me, I like a 200g steak. 7 oz for you 🙂

Looks good.
Lol, ok, having absolutely no concept how much 150g is, had to do a quick
google to convert that into about 5.2 ounces...so, a bit over a quarter of a
pound of steak.
A little small for me, but then again, I need to and am cutting back myself.
😃
Lol, I truly have no concept about real world measurements in metric. The
worst is temperature in Celsius.
Ok, enough of my ramblings, that really looks great!!
And, maybe you can convince them to let you continue to work from home, at
least most of the time or part time. Obviously you’re able to get the work
done, do, why not??
I’ve been working from home 100% for close to the past 8 years.
I talked to my new boss about this, before and since accepting, and he
basically said, “as long as the work gets done, I don’t care if I ever see
you”...
Ok....I’m waaay off food topics...lol

I am going to be really sorry when working from home ends! I really like
having my main meal in the middle of the day.
It was nevertheless a simple lunch/dinner of eye fillet steak (probably
under 150 g, Kelly!) with cafe de Paris butter (this batch is a bit
crumbly, but still tasty), sweet potato and salad with a balsamic dressing
I only remembered at the end so it got sloshed across the top. 🙂
