Where has the year gone??!

Work stuff

I applied for another 2 management jobs yesterday. Out of the three the IT one is still the one I'd most like to get but the other two are still pretty interesting.

Still don't know what time my interview is on Monday. If I haven't heard anything in the next couple of days I'm going to ring them.

Had a meeting about this open day I'm supposed to be helping out with. I'm the only non management grade involved which is quite scary. Unfortunately I'm going to be on holiday during a lot of the planning side of it.

It's all go.

Stole this from innae's journal

An interesting day at the Rainbow Bridge.

Rainbow Bridge is a place of both peace and anticipation as departed pets await their beloved owners. There are plenty of things to keep them contented while they wait: trees you can't get stuck in, endless meadows, splashing streams, thickets perfect to hide in for pounce-attack games.

But one day the residents noticed some rather... unusual newcomers arrive.

The koalas and the kangaroos slipped in rather quietly, but then came the bearded dragons, the skinks and the goannas. The influx of snakes startled an entire family of cats up a tree. Pythons, cobras, tiger snakes, brown snakes and even fierce snakes. There were so many at one point, it seemed the ground itself was alive with writhing. A burly wombat shouldered his way through the crowd and plopped down in a shady spot, barely missing a Jack Russell terrier who yapped indignantly as he abandoned his position.

And then the crocodiles showed up.

Finally, a Great Dane managed to get up enough nerve to approach one of the reptilian giants.

"Um....excuse me," he said hesitantly. "But why are you all here?"

The croc dropped her jaw and laughed. "Same as you, mate," she said. "Waitin' for someone who loved us."

The dogs, cats, gerbils and other "typical pets" looked at each other in confusion, then at the plethora of weird, ugly and downright deadly creatures assembled. Who on Earth could possibly love some of those faces?

"I see him!" shouted a green mamba from his vantage point in one of the trees. A cacophony of squeaks, hisses, bellows and roars erupted as the mob surged forward toward a lone human walking across the field toward the bridge. The other animals managed to catch a glimpse of him before he was overwhelmed by the crowd.

"CRIKEY!" he shouted joyously right before he was bowled over by the wombat.

"Well I'll be," said a Persian as she tidied up her fur. "It's that Aussie my human liked to watch on TV. Had to be the craziest human on the whole planet."

$120.6

Okay so here's the deal. You read the list and see how many of these things you have done, adding up the monetary value of each act along the way, then post the amount that you are as the title of the bulletin ( ie '$78.00').

A bunch of stuff

I have to accept that I am a Grumpy Old Woman even before I hit 30. I really have no time for the 'young people' who live in this building (and are probably only a couple of years younger than me). They've set up camp outside my window again tonight, and they tried to be all nice and funny when we went out earlier and I just wasn't interested. I know I'm not going to get any sleep tonight and telling them to be quiet will achieve nothing

I finished watching Series 1 of Grey's Anatomy. I still don't like Meredith. She's too Ally McBeal/Sex in the City for me but I love all the other characters. Especially George and Christina.

myth_adventure the discs arrived today. Thanky muchly. Can't wait to watch them
