So I got the job.

Yay me!

I'm a little busy. This job was wonderfully immediate. Small startups...well, they demand a lot of attention. 2.5 days of work and I've logged some 25 hours. And -I- haven't been comparatively busy.

Anyways, it's a great concept, I love it, I believe in it and I think, really think, ya'll should join. Also: If you see an...

Congrats! smile
captainsteve:
Wow congratulations! That place seems pretty damn cool and it would be cool to be a part of it before it explodes. I was telling a few people I know about it after you mentioned it. We may get together some weekend and throw something together to put up there.

So Cambrian House launched today. It's damn cool - hell, the office tour is lead by the Queen. Yes, the queen.

Ya'll should join. That way, when the site does launch, we can create our own SG comrade group.

They still haven't hired me, but they called me in for a 2nd interview.

Audience participation time!

Ummm... bread maybe? No. Nectarines. And cream cheese.

How are things with you?

I just got a shitload of new IKEA furniture and I think that buying it may be my new favourite past time as well...
oryx:

This morning I had an interview at a new startup by the name of Cambrian House. I'd seriously love working in such an environment, and I think the conecpt is absolutely brilliant.

I hope I get the job.

Yes, I've been absent. I will be for a little while more. I'm moving into my new place. I'm getting the shakes from not having internet. It's...

good luck with the job! I spend all of my spare time (unless I am drinking out) online, so I completely understand. When my mailbox lights up, my heart pounds! It's usually just spam. Then I get really sad and listen to depressing music until something good shows up smile
ugh, I need a dental plan BADLY! blackeyed

I'm in for some Settlers. smile

Come to my BBQ on Canada Day.

It's low-key, fewer people, and it would be cool to meet people who didn't come last year...
masquerade:
Good for you! I bailed on my U of A convocation. I went to the U of C one, but the second one lacked the...attraction...of the first.

News...hmm...went to a bridal shower thrown by my mother-in-law exclusively for her friends. My mom and sister were there but that's it. Older ladies I didn't really know (some of whom I'd never even met before) bought me material goods I didn't really need or want. Fun? whatever

Hook is on TV right now. I love that movie.

Last night I got to hang with the fantastic Lavonne. She is fantastic company and I was privilaged to be privy to it.

Does anyone want to go berry picking sometime? I was thinking of it as I was going to Edmonton to get my convocation gown and seeing all the U-Pick berry signs...

I'm sorry I didn't help you move. frown You'd think I'd check my journal shortly after offering something like that, but clearly you'd be mistaken. I hope you enjoy Calgary smile

Also, I am amused that I recognise Southgate from your photobooth set biggrin

I just got 4 stitches on my left index finger an hour ago.

I've never had stitches before. Typing sucks.

Also: go to this thread and tell Esper you want her to be an SG!!

thanks for the heads up on the group, been away with work for a while so missing quite a lot of stuff, wink

So. X3 was...satisfying. Like Return of the Jedi. Fun, a little forced, but still, quite satisfying, in the end.

And Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan stole the fucking show, as always, and while I love Hugh, I always keep thinking he's too tall.

ALSO: The best part of the movie, while it was cool, was seeing the fucking GHOSTRIDER preview.

Anyways, the next couple days...

Well, if you happen to take a nasty detour and find yourself in Austin be sure to say hi.

For the Edmonton Folk:
So since I'm going to moving quite soon, and since my last week is going to be stupid busy with packing and such, I figure that we can get together and watch a movie in the theatre.

I wanna see X3. At Midnight on Thursday.

So that's that.

If you want in, let me know. I might be able to get...

Sorry for their win last night.
trucksandtrains:
don't hate the oilers because a few of their fans are acting like complete asses. (you can't hate the oilers for other reasons) its like soccer hooligans in england. they're good for nothing, and true fans of the sport don't look down on a team because some people that 'support' a squad riot if the win, or lose.
i'd say the majority of them just found a reason to act like morons and don't care.

besides... how can you hate a team that had gretzkey, coffee, messier, fuhr and essa tikannen(sp)?

but i agree. people should not act like asses. hope you get your sleep this series.
peace
