Work was fine. I spent like an hour total on calls to IT, most of that spent trying to get connected to the work network from home (I apparently wasn't setup on the firewall correctly). But after that it was mostly just learning how to do basic reports. For the ones they have me doing right now I just have to review what's already there and make sure it's all correct, though there will be more involved reports eventually.

My Factorio base had way, way, way too little plate production. I've been talking to a friend and I apparently needed like 5x as much. So I just started over from scratch completely, new map and new settings (the rail world preset, which makes resource patches larger, further apart, and prevents biter expansion). My initial base is pretty awkward due to me needing to have a vertical main bus, but I have a better idea of what I need to do now when I expand.
