Okay I lied. So I'm not permanently back yet...but I'm trying! :cry3:

:eepfaint:

So anyway Kathmus, I know I've missed quite a bit with you. What's been happening?

[Dragongirl]

*has twenty minutes*

...stupid home bell.

[Dragongirl]

Hm...

*debates showing Kathmus a funnier thingie just to make her laugh again*

[Dragongirl]

Second person is really hard to write in. I keep slipping to third or first.

[Dragongirl]

Right Kathmus...DG has two prompt words...Wrinkles and Innuendo. Which one do you want me to PM you for lookage? ;)

[Kath]

*is sat on*

:eepfaint:

So anyway Kathmus, I know I've missed quite a bit with you. What's been happening?

I still can't speak German.
I have a baby on the way.
I'll be on a train to Paris this time next week.


I think that's most of it!

[Kath]

Right Kathmus...DG has two prompt words...Wrinkles and Innuendo. Which one do you want me to PM you for lookage? ;)

Need you ask?

[Kath]

Hm...

*debates showing Kathmus a funnier thingie just to make her laugh again*

Oh, go on. I'm too tired and need some waking up.

[Dragongirl]

I still can't speak German.
I have a baby on the way.
I'll be on a train to Paris this time next week.


I think that's most of it!

Understandable. New country after all.
Ooh, Paris! I'm jealous!
And baby? How old? How many weeks? How's it looking? OMG YAY FOR YOU KATH! :glomp:

[Dragongirl]

Oh, go on. I'm too tired and need some waking up.

*sending it*

[Kath]

Second person is really hard to write in. I keep slipping to third or first.

Know who your internal narrator is, as well as the specific 'you' you're writing? That's always seemed to help me when I've tried it.

[Milo]

Second person is really hard to write in. I keep slipping to third or first.

Why are you writing second person?

[Kath]

Ooh, Paris! I'm jealous!


I'll take lots of pictures!

And baby? How old? How many weeks? How's it looking? OMG YAY FOR YOU KATH! :glomp:

17 weeks tomorrow! I've lost track of the problems we've had along the way this time round... but I'm starting to feel movement, I think!

[Milo]

I should start organizing clothes. Tomorrow is going to be hectic.

[Dragongirl]

Why are you writing second person?

Practice. 'Cause I can. And I always struggle with it.

[Kath]

And I always struggle with it.

That's because it's the easiest one to do very badly.

[Milo]

I'll take lots of pictures!



17 weeks tomorrow! I've lost track of the problems we've had along the way this time round... but I'm starting to feel movement, I think!

You better! I demand an email after!

Oh god! That is great! You so badly need that kind of hope after what you've been through. I so badly hope this one is the blessing you need! :hugs:

[Kath]

!!!!

Well, they DO move around a lot, you know!

[Dragongirl]

That's because it's the easiest one to do very badly.

Exactly. So if I post any sucky ones...they'll be second person. :laugh:

[Kath]

Gaah. Really must get up.

Maybe I'll leave the washing up until this evening...

[Kath]

:wave:

[Milo]

Well, they DO move around a lot, you know!

Writing MSR makes me SO bloodthirsty!
What will the next writing project be? :bouncy:

[C_ris]

Imho, the only thing that is keeping you from taking this job is you. I think you should take it. Think about it, of course, but also be thinking about your future etc. The responsibility can be daunting, but you don't want to be doing, excuse my French, bitch work for the rest of your life.

As for being ready... don't doubt yourself. Your superiors obviously think you're prepared. Just determine yourself to do a good job, then do it.

This.

Still working on The Regicide, but I've also got another plot-bunny on the go, inspired by a discussion elsewhere on who gets searched, why they may not wish to stand, and why the Weyr may not want a particular Searched candidate.

Oh, and I've thrown in a recent plague just to keep Bronzie fuming...

I won't get TR finished very soon - it's gonna be a biggie - but the plotbunny should get tidied up and finished during my trip to Paris next week.

[Kath]

This.

Exactly.

Bronzie, if you don't ever stretch yourself you'll never be capable of more than you are now. Anything with the potential to cause personal growth is a Good Thing, and should be seized with both hands, no matter how hard it seems at first.

Nah, that's A RECURRENT DAYDREAM |i HAVE BEEN HAVING FOR MONTHS, IT ALTERS AS MOOD SUITS :d

*kills Caps*

I will PM it to you.

[BZWingZero]

:wave:

[cosmic dancer]

Apparently so!

Those are very strict sounding dress rules. I wonder why they are so strict.

This one might turn out being management in time, I don't know yet. But I do know I'll at least be a closer.... which means late night shift!!!!

:Xfinger: I doubt late night shift bothers you too much.

[cosmic dancer]

Hadn't cancelled them, and got the wallet back today, cards AND £30 in cash still intact :wohoo: And mother thinks I am too trusting :roll: Not everyone is a raging thief, and anyway, to access the card you need the pin.

Stress is a BAD THING (tm)

We went up to Blackpool and then mooched around asda before going to the carvery for lunch. sadly I had to go to werk after that. Jax headed back over to York.

You are lucky to get them back. If it is only a cash card, then I guess they aren't good for much really. It's debit and credit cards you need to cancel quick smart.

Agreed :yes:

Hopefully that was fun :)

[cosmic dancer]

Whew! Just got back from a long weekend of driving, I think I drove well over 600 miles (will check tomorrow maybe if I remember) went to York and Preston and Blackpool. :)

That is a lot of driving! :faint:

Sounds like a really nice day!

It was :)

[cosmic dancer]

If you had heard half of the shit that goes on during that shift that his supervisor has to deal with, you wouldn't blame him for having to really think about it.

:hide:

It required a bit of a harder hand than in currently being used and a lot of damage has been done that will be sort of hard to reverse. Hard to explain, but Bronzie would know what I'm talking about.

Sounds like a tricky thing for him to pick up. I'm sure he'll make the right decision. Only he really knows what it is like there after all.

Title time?

Spam - The WLT's sworn enemy!

:giggle: it's not that bad!

I'm tired. Worn out. Stressed to the point of me rather wanting to stay home and drug myself to sleep rather than deal with the assholes and morons at work. I've already come close to getting myself fired and I'd rather leave on my own terms.

That's really not good :hugs: It is vital not to get fired though if you can possibly avoid it, I'm sure that you know that.

[cosmic dancer]

*is not amused with internet provider at the moment* ALL INVISIONFREE BOARDS are coming up as "server not found" and everybody else using other internet providers in my area can get to the damn things. If they have a block on the ******* server to keep us from accessing invisionfree boards I will be even madder than I am right now.

Why would an internet provider block that sort of thing? I'd be amazed if that is allowed.

Now to find some money to get to the next conference in July. If I can get there, it will be free (admission and room+board). The trick is getting there... two weeks after I get fired from my current job.

Any ideas how to manage that?

[cosmic dancer]

Spam: Return of the DG :darkside:

Who isn't returning for ages though. Just popping in. :cry:

It's good to see you at all :hugs:

*sneaking on in Ancient History*

:evil: And here for Spam's End.

:suspic:

:D I been busy. Coming first in Ancient History. And Second in Geo. And Fifth in English. And Seventh in Religion.

Doing good, I am. :yes:

That sounds awesome! Go DG! :applause:

[cosmic dancer]

:wave:

Hi there :)

[cosmic dancer]

Okay I lied. So I'm not permanently back yet...but I'm trying! :cry3:

I'm sure you are doing the best you can with limited resources :hugs:

Who said it was only the Willet that got cushions?

:evil:

:giggle:

I still can't speak German.
I have a baby on the way.
I'll be on a train to Paris this time next week.

I think that's most of it!

I bet you speak better German now though than you did when you arrived.

:bouncy:

What are you going to Paris for: work or pleasure?

[BZWingZero]

Any ideas how to manage that?

Still figuring it out. I'll be emailing the conference planners sometime this week to see if they have sources to help a student like myself attend conferences.

[cosmic dancer]

I should start organizing clothes. Tomorrow is going to be hectic.

Why do I suspect that is a serious understatement!

:ugg:

Ouchies :patpat: *zen hot pad*

I like those daydreams. Oh, the number of times at school that a dragon landed on the playing fields...

I'd love to see how our kids would react to that! :giggle: Question, is the dragon one that may eat kids or breathe fire at them? :darkside:

[cosmic dancer]

That could work, it's certainly worth a try :yes:

[Kath]

I think it's for the uniformity - you don't want anything to detract from the horse.

[Obviously, the less prestigious the show, the less strict they are.]

[cosmic dancer]

All ketched :)

[Kath]

I'd love to see how our kids would react to that! :giggle: Question, is the dragon one that may eat kids or breathe fire at them? :darkside:

If I were having that daydream as a teacher, probably yes to both!

[Kath]

What are you going to Paris for: work or pleasure?

Both. I've got a conference during the week, and Jez is joining me there on Friday evening for the weekend.

[murphy]

:wave:

:wave:

:yawn: :wave:

:wave:

:mexwave:

[BZWingZero]

That could work, it's certainly worth a try :yes:

One of the organizers said I might get paid for coming and helping... however he was quite drunk at the time so it might not happen.

I do know that volunteers at the conference get free admission+room+board though. Just have to get there, two weeks after my current job ends.

[cosmic dancer]

I think it's for the uniformity - you don't want anything to detract from the horse.

[Obviously, the less prestigious the show, the less strict they are.]

That makes some sense. The need to tell which legs are your and which belong to the horse is logical, some of the rest (e.g. hair net or not) seemed a tad excessive!

I hoped that would be that case.

If I were having that daydream as a teacher, probably yes to both!

:mwahaha:

Both. I've got a conference during the week, and Jez is joining me there on Friday evening for the weekend.

That sounds like something to look forward to :)

As for being ready... don't doubt yourself. Your superiors obviously think you're prepared. Just determine yourself to do a good job, then do it.

I just wish I had a bit more time to prepare. I know I do a good job and that I'm the most qualified and responsible of the employees they have, but I never would have thought that it would happen so soon. I mean, who gets the biggest promotion they can possibly get after a single year of their first job? But then that shows that it would be a huge missed opportunity if I turned it down.

It would mean a lot better pay, which would definitely help Kalina and me out, but it couldn't have come at a worse time. If only it had come a few months later after Kalina had settled in... she needs support after making such a huge move and feeling so out of place, I can't afford to not be there for her.

Exactly.

Bronzie, if you don't ever stretch yourself you'll never be capable of more than you are now. Anything with the potential to cause personal growth is a Good Thing, and should be seized with both hands, no matter how hard it seems at first.
I completely agree, ever since I first started this job I was determined to climb the ladder, and I was really boosted by the fact that I was already one of the best workers on the night crew after just a couple months. But such a huge advancement so soon is kind of overwhelming.

If I take the job, there's going to be a lot of stress, but then if I DON'T take it, whoever they get for the job might cause just as much stress if he's a crappy manager.

[Kath]

She's a big girl. Moving countries is tough, true, but she'll have you there with her, which she doesn't have now - it's all swings and roundabouts.

Question for people in general - in a new place, does doing things/working things out on your own/with other newbies mean you settle in faster or slower? I'm leaning towards the former - if you can lay claim to a new place yourself, you feel less like a visitor.

[Jax]

That is a lot of driving! :faint:I checked this morning, it was at 723 miles, but I forgot to set it until I'd been driving for a while when I left, so maybe another 10 or 20 miles on top of that...

I don't know, everywhere I've been I've done some stuff myself, and been shown some stuff by others, and it works as a good combo to acquaint me with the new place. :)

Problems?

[celticdragonsong]

Problems?

Students were acting like total a**es today. They were so bad that they almost had me in tears before the 5 hours were up. I hate exam time, I hate it with a passion.

[celticdragonsong]

Oh, and that was just one class that I had to deal with. All 14 students who showed up for class.

[celticdragonsong]

Time for a shower then going out to visit a friend. Hopefully they can help me relax before tomorrow.

Later

Gaah. Poor you!

Aye.

Cable's still in... I'm waiting for Jez on Skype...

[Milo]

Do you use skype as chat or to talk with?

[Kath]

Face to face talking for most people, and texting to my sister in law - she doesn't like appearing on camera!

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

That's really not good :hugs: It is vital not to get fired though if you can possibly avoid it, I'm sure that you know that.

Yeah, I know.

I'll have him if and when I'm awake and/or not working when he is!

I may be a big girl, but I will have NOTHING outside of him when I move, and I do not fancy being by myself the majority of the time after a huge change in my life. I do not mix well with being left on my own in a depression. Yes, I will settle in eventually, I know that, but I need support when it first happens and talking on the phone with my mother or best friend in lieu of my husband being with me won't do it. People handle things like this differently... I happen to be one that needs someone there and with me. :sigh:

I don't want him to take this because he feels obligated to because of the others on the shift. I want him to take it because he feels 200% sure that it's the right thing at the right time. And no one accuse me of trying to hold him back, alright. I'm trying not to think of the fact that I might be alone even more, even though I'm in the same bloody house that he lives in. No one can sway his mind outside of what he feels is right.

ANd I won't have a job for several weeks...

[edith]

Okay I lied. So I'm not permanently back yet...but I'm trying! :cry3:

:hugs:



I still can't speak German.
I have a baby on the way.
I'll be on a train to Paris this time next week.


I think that's most of it!

I still can't remember more than please or thank you in Dutch- it is sooo much harder than French

Cool :)

:ugg:

:hugs:?

I just wish I had a bit more time to prepare. I know I do a good job and that I'm the most qualified and responsible of the employees they have, but I never would have thought that it would happen so soon. I mean, who gets the biggest promotion they can possibly get after a single year of their first job? But then that shows that it would be a huge missed opportunity if I turned it down.

It would mean a lot better pay, which would definitely help Kalina and me out, but it couldn't have come at a worse time. If only it had come a few months later after Kalina had settled in... she needs support after making such a huge move and feeling so out of place, I can't afford to not be there for her.


I completely agree, ever since I first started this job I was determined to climb the ladder, and I was really boosted by the fact that I was already one of the best workers on the night crew after just a couple months. But such a huge advancement so soon is kind of overwhelming.

If I take the job, there's going to be a lot of stress, but then if I DON'T take it, whoever they get for the job might cause just as much stress if he's a crappy manager.


Go for it!

If you can do it, it'll be great. If you can't, at least you've tried!

I've got an interview for the PhD of my dreams because I applied on the off-chance.

[Kath]

Definitely a busy one!

[fejar]

Looks like fun though!

[Kath]

*yawn*

Time for bed, if the thunder will stop...

[fejar]

*hands over earplugs*

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Holy crap, my skin has a slight hue of color to it! :eek2: A few more weeks of laying in the sun, and perhaps I might not be blindingly white anymore! :laugh:

[fejar]

Carefull Bronzie, don't want to get too far from white or someone in tinted glasses will think you're becoming a :smurf:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

:blink:

[fejar]

*hands out brown tinted glasses and collects in all the blue ones*

[Bamy]

I like those daydreams. Oh, the number of times at school that a dragon landed on the playing fields...
They were always good daydreams. They keep you on a even keel and relatively sane through all the stress don't they? I find I have more daydreams, the more stressed I am - sort of an escape/pressure valve.
If I were having that daydream as a teacher, probably yes to both!:giggle:

Now come on Crispy, fess up, you're drinking out of a brown bottle again aren't you?

[C_ris]

Nope. Blue can.

[Milo]

It's amazing - I have a very slight tan as well!

I have a great tan. :biggrin:

[fejar]

I have an empty green bottle and a vague tan

[C_ris]

I have a great tan. :biggrin:

:p Show off.

There's only been one day when I've been out in the sun!

In fact, we've pretty only HAD one day of sun!

[Jax]

I have an empty brown bottle here, and I've got an okay tan on my arms-ish, and we've only had the one nice day of sun here too! :p

[fejar]

:) what was in your bottle Jax?

[Jax]

I have my car booked in for an MOT tomorrow... :erm: I hope it passes no problems...

[Jax]

Ummm... Budweiser :erm: :whistle: It was the last one *pout*

[C_ris]

Today wasn't the sun day. That was last Saturday.

[Milo]

Why would an internet provider block that sort of thing? I'd be amazed if that is allowed.

They aren't allowed... but their server glitches in weird ways from time to time. And I think this was one of them, because now it's working fine.

[Annadel]

17 weeks tomorrow! I've lost track of the problems we've had along the way this time round... but I'm starting to feel movement, I think!

Gotta go. Time to get ready for the 30 week checkup.

At least I don't have to get stuck again this week. I think I have about another six weeks before the next round of tests unless my weight starts dropping or BP skyrockets or something. Then again, my memory is on hiatus lately, so who knows?

Well, I have had a very productive (read - expensive) morning. Got up, added a few features to the new lappie, greeted Steve the guy doing the floor in the kitchen and left him to it while I wandered (yes I did walk there, it is only 3-4 miles) into town. Got the time sheets faxed off so mum and I will be paid at some point in the next 3 weeks and then went a wandering. I bought a new pair of trainers in Millets that were on sale at £45 and two pairs of jeans in New Look (they have started doing a 32" leg :woohoo: (31" is too short on me and 33" drags the ground :roll: )) went into Smiths, got a fathers day card for dad, ended up buying national treasure 2 as well and then into M&S to get yogurt and fruit. Then bought a new diary and address book as mine are decidedly tatty and the diary is a mid year type. Also put the camera with the zoo pictures in the developers. Now all I have to do is post some parcels and my To Do list will have shortened considerably :D

[Bamy]

And I call this 'pottering about' :roll:

I'm seeing the doctor on thursday morning anyway, and they'll be doing all the usual bloodwork as well as checking my BP and weight. It's a common enough complaint that I don't think it's worth stressing over... yet. Anyway, I've had the odd moment today when I've felt almost as if I'm drunk, but mostly I've been fine. Taking things easy seems to be the key.

It's a common enough complaint that I don't think it's worth stressing over... yet. Anyway, I've had the odd moment today when I've felt almost as if I'm drunk, but mostly I've been fine. Taking things easy seems to be the key.

Taking things easy often does help, at times it is easier said than done, but I'm sure you'll manage it :hugs:

[cosmic dancer]

Of course, taking things easy does backfire a little when you end up running to miss a tram and then bursting into tears at the stop....

Awww Kath :patpat:

T'was! But I didn't get to see the river I wanted to see *pout*

Oooh that reminds me, the car passed the MOT no problem! :biggrin:

Where was it, is there time to go back there?

Yay! :bouncy:

[cosmic dancer]

Time for me to go to rehearsal now :wave:

[Kathryn Draconna]

Congrats on getting the job Katie! Pity it's Wendy's... :hugs:

Congrats Katie! :balloons:

Thanks.

That doesn't sound absolutely terrible, though I very much doubt it's really 'you'. If you can get some managerial experience there it should look good on your CV though :yes:

anything is better than nothing.

I'm in Panama!

Well... I'm in Panama, but I'm not in Panama. I'm in the Tocumen international airport. It doesn't count unless I get a passport stamp (unless I enter a country secretly or something, or if it's Canada). I might as well be anywhere in the world. :roll:


Another few hours of layover. I've managed to sleep for a good part of my flights. :bouncy:

Yay Milo! How many flights left?

[Milo]

Yay Milo! How many flights left?

Just one! And I got an email saying that they had booked a hotel for me so even though they won't be picking me up at the airport, I will, in fact, have a bed tonight. :ok:

[Kath]

Super news, Milo!

Wish I could sleep on planes... :(

[Milo]

Super news, Milo!

I'm usually no good at it. I didn't sleep for more than a half hour on my way back from Argentina... 10 hour flight...

[Kath]

Ugh. I've had flights from Chile like that.

[Kath]

On the plus side, the first of the strawberries in my garden are ripe!

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

I guess everybody was out partying last night.

I couldn't get on the KT for like, 2 hours!

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

*pops in* I am officially a Wendy's employee. Making $7.15/hr but also getting 35-40 hours a week and shall have health benefits. Orientation was yesterday, it took two and a half hours. (I get paid for those 2.5 hours too) Today is the first official day of working. I go in and get trained today and tomorrow on general stuff and then starting Thursday I'll be trained for closing.

About the only people that might catch me online after work starting Thursday are the REALLY late night Americans and the Overseas crowd. I won't be home and online until like 1:30 or 2am EST. Today and tomorrow are only until 8pm, so I'll be on to bother you all!!

Congrats on the employment. :)

Congrats on getting the job Katie! Pity it's Wendy's... :hugs:


What she said. :hugs: But at least it's something for now!

About time too! :bouncy: That is such good news!! :frolic:

:hapdance:

That sounds like a good plan :yes: Only 12 days away, and I doubt you'll be working on all of them :no: When do you now plan to move? End of June?

Nope, I only have 8 actual work days (not counting today) left. And the move is scheduled for July 6th, actually arriving at my new home on July 8th.

Of course, taking things easy does backfire a little when you end up running to miss a tram and then bursting into tears at the stop....

A bed is always a good thing!

I have a hard time sleeping, too. I usually want to look out the window! :laugh:

:tighthugs:


Oh, it was quite funny really, in retrospect.

[Jax]

Where was it, is there time to go back there?In Yorkshire... possibly, but I doubt it as I spent over 70 quid on fuel alone for the weekend, and then had to refuel again yesterday...

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Katie, hurray on the new job! :woohoo:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Aaah... another beautiful day of sunshine. I wish I could stay out for longer than an hour, but I'm never using that horrible spray-on sunscreen again, and I hate the lotion. So I'm restrained to a piddly hour :cry: Oh well, at least with no protection, I'm tanning faster.

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Crispy and DG - have you gotten the discs I've sent you yet? :puppyeyes

[Bamy]

I guess everybody was out partying last night.
I have been out gymming, and had a darned good worout too! I even did the full 10 minutes on the hated rowing machine. Walked toand from the gym as well :yes:

:bouncy:Oooh! :drool:

Did you get that PM I sent you? what do you think, does it need mjor major work, or some major tweaking or just regular tweaking to make it into a workable story?

Congrats on the Job Katie!

It's on the to-do list...

[Bamy]

Ok, no rush really. I just lack patience :angel:

[Kath]

I just lack time!

Yup! Got it yesterday! Thanks! :D

This isn't a terribly busy airport. :erm:

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

I HAVE MY VISA AND PASSPORT IN MY HANDS!!!! :hapdance:

I drove home at lunch to check the mail. I was too ancy to just sit in the lunch room, the office wouldn't answer their phone so I could ask if the mail had come yet, and I just had a feeling. :biggrin:

WOOTS!

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

This isn't a terribly busy airport. :erm:

No?

Hmmm... so not much interesting people watching, then?

[Milo]

No?

Hmmm... so not much interesting people watching, then?

No... but it's fun to pick out the Argentinians. They're easy to spot from their looks, their clothes, and if you're not sure, their ridiculous accents.
