WHAT?! Janny, is BoP on the interviewers' secret or open board?

Janny · 01-21-2005, 05:59 PM

Mr Inked! You are not suggesting that corruption is going on in this esteemed British institution?

...oh my interview technique... we can always hope that the interrogators are fond of my pants.

Embladyne · 01-21-2005, 06:10 PM

Good luck with the interveiw.

I have finished this week!! yay!!! Spring semester starts on wed, or actually tues, for one of my classes, and there is no indication of where it will actually be located, but, I've bought all the books I need for that class.
And, I'm finishing chapter 8 of my Chinese book, so that I can be ahead...'cause I alway procrastinate.
And, I've redecorated my room...and all my friends have said cool things, so far...

Lenya · 01-22-2005, 10:02 AM

It is fun to redecorate a room! I always feel better afterwords

sure it looks cool.

Embladyne · 01-24-2005, 11:01 PM

I helped a friend sew a skirt for a dance class...she'd never sewn with a machine before...and I don't use patterns...so I helped her cut out the fabric and she did basically everything else herself...so actually, it's her accomplishment....but, it's an accomplishment for me to find some one who is interested in learning to sew, and actually follows through with it.
Oh, and today, I finished a cool circlet. I'm wearing it right now.

I really want to make some more cool clothes so I can dress up more often.

I had a job interview today for a senior administrative job and I just heard back... I got it!! I won't have to put up with anymore crap from my stupid manager in my current job... and I'll be making bucket-loads of money, AND they're perfectly happy with me being absent a couple of hours a week for university!!! YEEHAW.

***Earniel*** · 01-25-2005, 02:01 AM

Go BoP! Finally rid of that manager, time to break out the champagne! Congrats!

**Nurvingiel** · 01-25-2005, 06:57 AM

Congrats BoP! That totally rocks.

*gives celebratory pants*

BeardofPants · 01-25-2005, 07:00 AM

well done BoPpy

Elemmírë · 01-25-2005, 11:22 PM

That's awesome, Boppy.

Very nice.

BeardofPants · 01-25-2005, 11:40 PM

It gets better... They're letting me tie in my dissertation topic with them (they're a union), so likely, they'll pay my fees and stuff, AND I'll get some practical applications of building a GIS for the corporate world. Neato.

inked · 01-26-2005, 12:10 PM

Congratulations, BOP. But won't the "never wear the same pants" raise eyebrows? Or do you merely plan to change them 3 times per day to enhance suspicions?

***Tessar*** · 02-02-2005, 03:59 PM

Way to go BoP!!!

I'm happy because I just finished a song I wrote for my mother. She's learning to play the piano, and I wanted to write something for her that she could play

. I'm not a GOOD composer, and this is probably the 'simplest' thing I've written before, but I'm happy with the way the song turned out.

It was a secret though, so I hope she's gonna like it

Check it, if ye like...

Elemmírë · 02-04-2005, 11:20 AM

I made the competitive ballroom dance team at a nearby school!

It wouldn't have been all that incredible... except I had been rather sore (aka immobile) from playing tennis for the first time in several months the day before...

Only problem is there's a lot of practice, so I probably won't be on the computer as much.

Ah well, guess my homework will just have to suffer.

Count Comfect · 02-04-2005, 12:09 PM

Congratulations, Elemmire! That's pretty impressive.

I managed to wake up for my 10 o'clock class. That doesn't sound very impressive, but neither of my roommates managed it for theirs.

**Nurvingiel** · 02-04-2005, 01:07 PM

Well I didn't manage it for my 9am, so good work CC.

Every little bit counts.

Janny · 02-06-2005, 05:19 PM

Sunny and I had a drink at the Bird and Baby (aka The Eagle and Child) in Oxford this wekend.

Doo ha ha.

sun-star · 02-07-2005, 01:25 PM

And the accomplishment was that this was illegal for Janny.

(just kidding

)

EarthBound · 02-07-2005, 01:37 PM

Managed to move all of our 'stuff' onto our new farm in just 8 loads with the van.....wow, we don't own anything anymore. I think that's a good thing.
