Today I

  • Held my arms up like a zombie for 3 minutes
  • squatted like I was at a kid’s table for 3 minutes. That was harder, but I didn’t fall!
  • Ran a workshop. sh is a hard sound to figure out how to describe how it’s made
  • Picked up and put down a 10kg box 10 times. Then walked around with it
  • Played switch games
  • Wrote a report to ask for an ipod and app for a client.
  • Tripped in the car park because I couldn’t see where I was going. Incident report?
  • Told people that swallowing function declines after 40 ;)
  • Washed my hair.

Bring on Wednesday.

One of my Thirty before 30 goals was to meet 10 more internet people IRL… and I achieved that one with the meetup last weekend. I’m not very far through my list… but I’m getting there. Slowly. Maybe. I might get there. I have 13 more months.

I love my workmates. Why am I leaving?

Phone interview this afternoon. Lots of prep, given a case study to talk through. Highlighting strengths and weaknesses. Gah.

But it’s done.

We talk again tomorrow.

Breathe.

Gus's soy latte

Today was spent drinking coffee, writing out some answers to expected interview questions. I bought a new dress, a cute one from Review that was heavily discounted. And I ran.

10.75 km worth. The furthest I’ve ever run. And it was dark and cold at the end. But it was fun and good and made me smile.

So, now, to find the 3.25 km (and hill running skillz) needed to finish the City2Surf and to do my sponsors proud!

So, my netbook died again

June 16, 2011

The screen again. All black, no luck trying to get it to hook up and display on the external monitor. So, right now I’m on Rish’s netbook. I also have my phone. I will call JB extended warranty people, and tell them that it’s happened AGAIN (Samsung N120. Screens just go. Dodgy connection I believe) [...]

I kinda want to add a new post

June 15, 2011

But I don’t know where to start. Perhaps I should just go read the Scientology magazine that came for a previous tenant, instead?

Sex. Sometimes it IS just like meatballs. The Bettina Arndt ANU Allumni Talk.

June 9, 2011

So, we went to the, supposedly “controversial” Bettina Arndt talk at ANU tonight. If you hadn’t heard, there’d been a small protest organised for beforehand by the ANU Women’s Collective. She went out and took question from the group before the main talk, which was great, then got into the talk. Lots of annecdotes, funny [...]
