And I have a new sig. No more Elfboy praising Hoshigami!

[NotMiki]

One day a lawyer, already making a difference.

Congratulations NotMiki

[Lady Door]

Congrats, Jim!

Had interview with small press. It will not be an editor job because, as usually happens, my resume caught their attention and they just so happen to be looking for a new marketing type person. They don't know what the job is yet, you see, but they know they want someone to do some marketing strategy thingy...

Thus continues my history of getting jobs that don't actually exist because of people I know and the wide, weird assortment of experience and expertise I show on my resume.

Okay, well, it's not a job yet, but the interview went well and they want me to come back to do a working session with them. So good as.

I can verify that for a fact Japanese children do not have parents.

Also congratulations to Jim and a smaller congratulations to Nano winners.

I knew I could count on you. :E

JOBBITY JOB JOB

So, is this a good good or a "erm okay" good? I'd gather you're not too terribly excited about going back into marketing, and, knowing how -that- universe works, I'd have to agree with you on that sentiment.

[Lady Door]

It's a "we'll see" thing. Marketing is apparently going to be my job because, well, that's what I have experience in. Lucky for me, all my alternate careers give absolutely no regard to work experience, so when I get around to those it won't make a difference. Plus there's money in Marketing.

The company is pretty nifty, though, and it's very small. Office of ~8. The job itself is Choose Your Own Adventure, caveat: marketing emphasis, and I loves me some autonomy. Plus, potential money bump and super awesome benefits. It could work out!

[Idun]

Had my swearing in today, so now I am officially "an Attorney, and by virtue thereof, a Counsellor at Law." 

Are there any photographs? Not that I want to see you in professional clothing. . . congratulations [:

[OblivionKnight]

Randomly, anyone going to be in Vegas Saturday through Monday? 

[Anthony Edward Stark]

Just left. Was a good venture.

Also when the girl you're banging starts using terms of endearment, does that mean she considers you to be in a relationship?

[DjinnAndTonic]

Not necessarily, cupcake.

[Clear Tranquil]

Indeed, else I'd be in a relationship with everyone then!~

Congratulations again LD! Best of lucks with the new job =)

Congrats to Yoshi and peeps on NaNo as well~

[Anthony Edward Stark]

CT, you just said you have banged everyone. I don't think that's true because you don't have Hepatitis like Zenny does, so I think I should ask for clarification.

[Grefter]

No one has the hep Zenny has.  Not even Zenny.  Zenny's Hep case is Schroedinger's Hepatitis.  He got it from fucking a dead dude in a box.

[Clear Tranquil]

Oh! Yeah I just meant I use terms of endearment with everyone >_> Like if I'm dating/banging/flirting with/interested in somebody it's more personal endearments I dunno? Like one dude I knew way back I used to call "Tiger"~ but yeah I tend to use terms of endearment with peeps in general like *hugs* and "dear" well I guess with dear it's for closer/close friends/best friends and such, people I'm really fond of I guess.

Also girls are maybe more likely to use terms of endearment like sweetie, honeys and love between each other?, then again the bus driver can call you "hen" or "love" ("Aw'rite luv?") when you get on/off the bus so I dunno~

Either way I probably wouldn't worry about it unless she's come up with a personalised nickname/name she thinks is special for you that people don't use in general~

[Idun]

Wait. What? Gift? .....


..... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I thought it was just CARD EXCHANGE. WELL. THIS MEANS WAR.

[Clear Tranquil]

Whatever you can send/card is fine  Am expecting card so~

Yeah well you see I kind of got carried away >_> Shopping for you was fun/a gift in it's own way so~

(=?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Gift-giving is an art, a courtesy and an act of belligerance.

[Idun]

(=?

As long as your gift is of equal or greater value, all is quiet on the western front. But honestly, if you also want something practical (like a home item), let me know.

[Grefter]

Incoming back massager.

[Idun]

It's snowing.

I am scared to go to my coffee shop.

[Clear Tranquil]

Snoooooowwww~

We don't have any yet, it's just been quite cold.


Oooh, I'd love a cushion, a throw, a cuddly hot water bottle, or something like that ^_^ Backscrubber should I have one of those?~

[Lady Door]

Turns out my needle phobia is worse than I thought. I fainted today while having an IV line put in.

This medical study is going to be fuuuuuun, what with its every-two-weeks draw schedule.

[Clear Tranquil]

Are you ok now LD? It's good of you to do this despite your phobias 

Had a PAP/Cervical smear test and a flu jab this afternoon. As usual it was a bit of an ordeal with the TMI alert! you're too tight and the equipment won't go in/you're not letting me in/this is too big and is hurting you/let's try a nicer one/oh this is going in but not going all the way in/sorry this is hurting you/aha got it!/you're all done! oh by the way there was some bleeding and you might bleed/be sore later on too but don't worry it's ok/nothing to worry about!  stuffs but at least this was me at a relatively relaxed stage as far as I'm concerned with somebody I trusted and got on/was able to joke with doing it Augh though on general principle but yeah at least the smear test is over for another three years/I don't have to go through anything like that again soon (and hopefully it isn't even worse next time!) Hopefully no delayed reaction to the flu jab either~
