It's a faster way to sort out people that can't use the English language and/or have weird names.;)

The more I change, the more I stay the same. :(

Also a good way to eliminate all the applicants who don't have 100% of the mutually contradictory and/or physically impossible combinations of skills and experience that are required, while providing handy statistics for the HR department to use in documenting the value of the HR department.

"Oh, yes, I see" she replied knowingly and with enthusiasm.

My darling philodendron, Amy, is in the ICU courtesy of Spiderman - who continues, despite warnings, to behave in a reckless and irresponsible manner unbecoming a house-pet. Drat drat drat

:( what happened?

near-continuous jumping, leaping and digging. Spiderman hates philodendrons. And Christmas. And my heirloom amethyst ring, 18K. Dammit!!!

ugghhhh - sorry.

I read a text I shouldn't have.
And it was something that I just didn't need to know, so I'm only hurt because of my own actions.
So it's just what I deserve for being nosey. Which makes it worse.

Not a major upset, just a low nagging upset, like a blister, you know. I'll be over it by tomorrow.:sadpace:

And yet another Christmas looms, with me not sending cards...I think I may have missed the date...I must check.

Sundae, hon, I got your card. I was absolutely lovely. I didn't post about it when i first got it because I was in denial about Christmas at the time (anything happening after my current deadline does not exist) :P

Second class today, first class on Monday Dana - get yer skates on!

Don't worry on my behalf Dana. I never send to receive, and the last thing I'd ever want is a gesture of friendship to make someone feel obligated or guilty in any way. It's enough that it got to you.

I've still got to wrap mine. Going to buy ribbon and glitter spray on Monday - the actual wrapping paper is the tissue paper from J&J's parcel. Spray glitter will make it look more festive. And get on everyone's hands, faces, the carpet, the cats.... Christmas sparkle - lovely!

Heh...what Dana said! I suck at Christmas! :blush:

Well, that's one way to have a white Christmas.

And why it only comes but once a year....

Oh Honey, yours didn't make me feel guilty. I know you know what I'm like on stuff like that lol.

The ones that give me a guilty twinge are the ones that come winging their way over the Pennines from the extended famly. They're all so damn efficient and conscientious. I daresay they don't actually expect one to arrive at their house from me...but I also know they probably think it should hahah. In particular the ones that arrive complete with little photos of the mini-rels and suggestions for a family get together sometime soon. Ffs I can barely get my act together to drag myself onto Facebook and say hi :P

Most of my Christmas guilt is usually centred around whatever study deadline I'm working towards/avoiding working towards/in a complete panic about. I can't deal with Christmassy stuff til that's out the way.

Talking of which: off go I to the Happy Thread :)
