Having an informal chat about a new job tomorrow.

Good luck.

Thanks. :)

The chat went well, I think. Supposedly they'll get back to me very soon.

Qualified to be put forward for my next band at work by my manager.  :thumbup:

Not sure what that means, but congratulations. Raise?

Eventually, I have some hoops to jump through first. I got my status upgrade through yesterday so basically my authority as an underwriter has been increased. I'm on another training course next week, which will add another skill to my competences when signed off - at that point in a couple of months the raise should materialise.  :chores:

  I love the idea of having a job in which one can take courses, earn certifications, and move up levels!  :chores:

Daughter scored her first career goal!!! She was pretty excited and I lifted her up off the pitch. :headbang2: :GA:

What's a career goal? I'm guessing this is not about a paycheck.

  I'm guessing, first goal of her soccer career.  Well done, young minion!  :arrr:

Pyraxis and i pissed each other off then made up :)

nonono, not like that , ya bunch of snickering kiddies. She's taken, and i'm an over-the-hill hetero FFS. but it's always really nice to make up with a friend.

Meantime, 've missed nearly all the action here though cos i'm crap at multitasking. whereas she's been pyraxing all over the place.  how unfair is that?

Anyways shhhhhhh, you didn't see me in this thread , did you? Pyraxis told me to go to bed

( nonononono, not like that.......


tired but happy,

I suppose finally cleaning my microwave might count, as well as changing my bedding.

Reminded me graelwyn, I need to get around to a thorough scrubbing clean, and then doing some modifications to one of the two microwaves, once I can walk again.
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

Well, bugger me! Who'd guess that an aspie might be right to take this goal thing  literally    :D.   We're like stopped clocks, hmm? (right twice a day)
Congrats to the sprog!

Glad I reminded you. I had been putting it off for months and just doing my best to ignore all the muck coating the inside of mine. It only took about 5 minutes to clean.

Son turned 13! I have TWO teenagers and all three minions are in double-digits after youngest turned 10 last week.

 :facepalm:

I'm late to the party. Congratulations.

And you aged too, in the past weeks?
