Oh my guh. It just took me like fifteen gorram minutes to figure out how to post something in groupthink. And I've had breakfast already! I really can't wait until I get used to it...if I can get used to it. Remember how we freaked out the last time any significant changes were made to the system? Yeah, this is so much worse.
(Though I gotta concede, I'm kind of liking the font choice on the cancel/submit buttons. Just wish my username in the top right was in its correct case. )
Ugh. I just realized I don't have a day off again until Feb. 19th. Damn weekend classes! I am excited to go to you but why u must be so early and long!? Baah!
@Scandinavian Flick: My hobby is collecting hobbies. I am of the order of the Penelope character from The Brothers Bloom. I currently have a radio controlled car as well. I know that it's blue and gunmetal-colored and goes both backwards and forwards. Along with it I have a metal detector, a midnight blue violin, a jewelry-making kit, an easel with accompanying set of oil paints, a copy of Rosetta Stone Spanish edition, a beach cruiser bike, and a large bag full of knitting supplies.
Kudos for your focus; it was once a hobby of mine...
@katedaysaweek: I want to say Portal, because of the stark contrasts. As you go from the sterile, concrete testing facilities into the bowels of the building, you follow scratched messages on the walls and it's creepy and weird and fun all at the same time. (But I'm biased because it's my favorite.)
Also, Bioshock (which I have just started playing) because of its vintage, art deco, glamor-in-ruins feel and cute, tongue-in-cheek midcentury in-game advertisements. (Also biased, because it's scaring the pants off me.)
Just handed in my paperwork, and my orientation is on the 31st. I'm finally on staff! Yesyesyes!
(Thank you, Jezefriends, for listening to my griping and bragging. It means something to me - and I try to be as helpful 'round here as you've been to me.)
I feel like a great knot betwixt my shoulders has been unraveled. (At least for now!) I'm finally going to be making enough money to start building a life on.
