Re: QM - SPQR
Thanks!

I was sooo nervous, it was ridiculous. Didn't sleep more than 4 hours.
Now I think I'll go to the garden centre and buy myself a celebratory plant.

Re: QM - SPQR
Huzzah for drivingness!
In other news I watched the last series of red vs blue today after finally getting the whole series on dvd.
It was emotional. I shall now have to stage an epic RvB marathon and watch the entire series from start to finish. I think i may have to write off a weekend sometime in the future...

Re: QM - SPQR
Job interview went OK, too - still not convinced I want the job, though. Pay is OK, but the working hours are crazy, and would make moving difficult. Might not be able to live in my new place until after Christmas.

Re: QM - SPQR
Sounds like you shouldn't take the job then, Magpie. Sounds like a lots of reasons not to.
Someday will find you.

Re: QM - SPQR
It wouldn't be for long - just the four weeks before Christmas. I think I could deal with crazy hours for four weeks - not much worse than the nursery in May. But I might not get the job anyway. *shrugs*

One good thing about my profession, crazy busy is the norm - there's no periods of the year that are busier than others.
Someday will find you.

Re: QM - SPQR
I don't know if I'd call that good - I actually don't mind being unemployed that much, I like having time to relax, but this year, with the apartment to pay for and all the stuff I need to buy, money is worrying me a bit.
But oh well. One way or another, I'll make this work out.

I wouldn't call it "good" either. But, I have a job and get a paycheck. *shrugs* Hopefully, things will turn around again (soon) and they'll adequately staff these cases.
Someday will find you.

Re: QM - SPQR
Yay for cats! It's good to hear that something nice came from your loss, 'dew.
Ad1tu, welcome back!
Finally convinced myself to get out of the house without having to. A bit of sunshine is nice.

Re: QM - SPQR
Still insanely busy. And we're busy at work too, so it's just not done to Smarch there. But I love being busy at work. I hope to find some more time to be online in the evenings when November is over.
Congrats Magpie! *hands Magpie a virtual car and watches her zoom around* Know what? We should totally have a QM - the race court when this Mint is done!

Re: QM - SPQR
So, question.
I'm going to the arts & crafts store down the street tomorrow with the intention of trying something hobby-esque. Trouble is, I'm not sure what to try! Whatever it is, it must have instructions or some kind of beginners book that I can follow along with, as I am not good at "Here's a block of wood, make a bird house!" Would prefer something not specifically seasonal and not terribly expensive to start out. Any suggestions?
If you should do what makes you happy, and no one can tell you what makes you happy, then that means no one can tell you what to do!
