Been a bit rusty lately

Second generation clone thread.

What is a bit rusty lately in your life?

For me, my Japanese skills are fading through disuse.

We have an opening in our department for the first time in well over a year. I used to do like 50 interviews a year, but hadn't done any in probably the last 20 months. This week I've done 4, and I am rusty indeed.

I use it a lot too. Recently, the most I'll use it is when I want to scale images to certain sizes to have elements of those image fit into other images at the right scale. When I made a t-shirt recently with images of VW campers and people in it, I had to combine dozens of different images, and scaling everything meant solving for x in simple equations over and over again.
