I always mean to write in this thing, but never do. However after reading Rue's post recently its got me wondering what people would reply to this MEME. So here it is!
We all have things about our friends that make us slightly envious. Not in a bad way, but in a 'Wow! I wish I had that person's hair/eyes/money/relationship/toenails/whatever.'
So tell me what about me makes you envy me. . . then post this in your LJ and see what makes me envious of you. |

Ok so a brief recap since my last post...
A lot has happened :S I ran an lrp event for the dragons faction as a group called jelly club... The first rule of jelly club is, you do not talk ab... You've all been there you get the idea!
So the event... was pretty sweet, the set pieces wowed the players, the plot has been commented as being really good and very interesting. The monsters enjoyed themselves which is more than can be said for some of the dragon events of late, (the ones I have monstered where I wished I had a car to drive myself home after being patronized by various "staff" running the event). The players seemed to love it. I have been told that some of the "tricks" I used such as lore codes and various puzzles meant there was something for every one and was greatly appreciated by players who normally don't get to use their under used skills (make read maps, potion lore, rec. forgeries etc). And I have been asked by a number of people when will I be running the next one... Which has to mean it was good doesn't it?
There were problems but I think every event has them. The point of interest with those problems is that as a group we had already noticed them and flagged them for future reference as the event progressed so next time we will take them into consideration and remove them to make the event even better.
But so many other people have added this to their live journal already why do you all need to read it again from me?
So why am I posting? Well the truth is I have some additional energy today I have been bouncing off the walls as I await a phone call, (which may never come), concerning the interview I had yesterday just after lunch. It was for an MRI/MEG technician post... nothing that impressive but when I looked round the facility it look amazing. The place is shiny and new and clean, the people were really nice, pay is better, hours are better, holidays are better... all in all the job is better than the one I have at the moment.
And still I wait.
The interview I felt went amazing. I wasn't nervous, at all! I was happy sat there it went on for about 40 minutes and they said it would be a 30 minute interview. I was in front of 5, (yes 5), panel members but still felt comfortable the whole time. At the end as one of the questions I asked them about the job, was
"when am i likely to hear one way or another about the post?"
I was told "we have to talk to the hr department because we arn't allowed to offer anything straight away"
I was then asked "if however we were to offer you the job now what would you say?"
I fought the urge to jump up and scream "YES DAMN YOU YES!!" and said something like that after considering and having had a look round i like the place and the sound of the job a lot blah blah blah but i would have to say that I would say yes"
more to follow lift is here... spell check and corrections now done :D |

So its the 25th of the 10th... its 9.30am rain is hammering down from the sky and my driving instructor picks me up to go to my driving test. I drive round my home village a few times with him testing out on a few things here and there especially maneuvers they go pretty well, i'm feeling genuinely confident. We then set off for monmouth were the test center is and the test is to take place. All along the way i am being told not to be so cautious and to pick up my speed, I have a sinking feeling that maybe i am not that ready for this day i have been working a few months towards. I reach monmouth and we go to the test center first doing a bay park which i do near enough to perfect as will ever be done. Its 10.20 i still have a little under an hour before my test so i set off for a small jaunt round monmouth as a sort of extra lesson and to cover a few other things. All the while my sinking feeling gets worse. My instructor is forced to stop the car half a dozen times for numerous offenses which will cause an immediate major or my test. I constantly select the wrong gear, i hesitate and do all the things i have for the last 3 weeks forced out of my driving pattern. Finally we get back to the test center and i do a bay park which only gods could have done so well. I wait... and wait... and finally they call my name and i meet my instructor. We chat and go to the car doing the mandatory basic maintenance test. We set off i leave the center and within 3 minutes i bump a curb... admittedly it was because of someone that stopped to allow me through and then when i moved past the junction he decided to indicate forcing me to squeeze past him so he could move and resulted in me slipping the curb with the rear tyre. Well that's that... i continue and do what i felt was comfortable all the way round and after 40 minutes (though it felt like a lot lot less) i am asked to return to the test center slowly entering the car park i am asked to bay park... well what can i say i managed to get into the space... at an angle, so he couldn't really open his door...
but he then tells me congrats i have successfully completed my test with 4 minors... so that was nice... unexpected but nice :D
so i guess it'll be pass plus next and then off to events, and hopefully i will have completed it within the next week because then i will, as i planned, to be able to drive myself to my own event, score |

Well i haven't posted to my journal for a while and decided it was about time to do so again...
So what to type about?
Well the deadline is here... final plot doc for the jelly club event is this wednesday that's 2 whole days and this evening is the last chance to type out the time line. I am hoping Darren doesn't need all the monster briefs and the in depth information which frankly haven't been typed yet. They'll be done by the end of the week, but i am just not sure if the "final plot doc" he has asked for is the final say on the events planning, which if it is we're kinda screwed. I know that's how it sounds but having spoken to people who have run events for a few years i have been told that a plot doc can be changed completely from its submission to the day the event starts.
Oh well i guess we will have what we have and continue to work on it after that to make sure we are happy. Just after the gathering i was sent a copy of the plot doc used for the october event last year and we had more than that in the basic plot brief so we should be ok.
Well that i suppose is the end of my circular rant about nothing :D but at least you know that behind the scenes things are chaotic and mental not like the well oiled machine you see at events known as "the dwarves of borthawr" ;)

It probably a bad thing but i have been day dreaming all morning in work and it goes a little like this:
"I knock at my bosses door and step inside and ask "Sonia, (my boss), can I have a quick word?" I then shut the door and sit.
"Sonia over the last two weeks during the move to our new lab something has come to my attention. I've found that time is very very precious to me and I don't like to waste it pretending to listen to 'plicks' like you. So could you do us both a favour and just stop talking to me, you'll not waste your time talking and i won't waste my time pretending to listen."
*sigh* If only it were this easy |

Well today i am feeling mostly down in the dumps, not really sure why, i think it is lrp stuff on my mind again, not really sure what i want to do next, (no that's not an offer for people to suggest things like "join the navy/hearts/gtc etc") just a general not sure what i want to do in a continue playing sense. After loosing a character to what can only be described as a bubble fuck, i'm not sure i want to remain in the lt system, after all the number of mess ups miss communications and just a general shit story line over the last two years i have been in charge of the unit has really jaded me to the whole thing. As for the unit, (one of the reasons i still want to play), well i know lots of them want to keep going as they've worked hard over the last 5 years to get where they are, however leadership wise well, I've finally got them talking about it at least, which is good because it means they are not just waiting for a solution to present itself. I know there are a few who want fresh meat in charge which is fine, however i wonder about 1 or two as to how quickly they came to the discussion kind of throws my competency in to question, though that might just be my current mood. Oh well that's enough of this random emo crap, none of it makes sense :S time to go back to work. |
