I always thought the UK seemed like a pretty nice place. Well, the camera thing kinda creeps me out, but otherwise okay.
Agreed. Up until the camera thing, I actually wanted to live there for a while. Which I can, with my British nationality.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

When do you find out if you got it?
I have no idea. And truth be told, I was a little bit hesitant after they suddenly changed the internship's description.

Up until the camera thing, I actually wanted to live there for a while.
You mean the speed trap cameras catching cars on every big road, or the CCTV on every street corner? Both are annoying...
It has its pros and cons, living here, but I get bored easily. Mainly with the weather. I swear we've had about five hours of sunshine all summer.

Interesting. That does seem quite an odd thing to do.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Test~ma to Tom (though I agree with Barb -- he'll probably sail through it on a light summer breeze, ~ma or no ~ma).
Lovely picture, Daniel. And I've only seen a couple of pictures of you, but even so I can definitely see your mom in your face.
Meh. Don't want to go to work. Don't want to sit down with boss and talk about my future, and why I want to apply for this other job. Need to do it anyway. Meh meh meh.

They're a non-profit organization. I get why they did it, I don't get the timing to do so. We emailed each other for two weeks, it was clear to what I applied. Asking me to do extra on the interview in an area I didn't apply to in the first place is, yes, odd. However, beggars can't be choosers. I'll keep looking for other internships and jobs.
And I meant that CCTV thing.

My sister. It's not like I have a job, but I just hate this sort of communication.
I just need to start my own project. Then I won't have to go through all of these "what can you bring to the job?" questions. I take Pam's approach (The Office) to this: "It's on the card" - "I send you my CV. I don't lie when I say I think I can do this. I have work ethic by the tons. Can't we all just get along? Oh, look, butterfly!".

Test~ma for Tom!
I'm leaving in a few minutes to meet a friend for lunch whose father is dying and whose marriage may be falling apart. I have absolutely no idea what I can even say to her.

sj, it's a tough spot. But I think that in those cases, you're mostly there as a listener.

sj, she may need to talk about things or she may want to hear about anything that isn't her family problems. Winging it's probably your best bet.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
aw bt! Cute pics! Awesome smile. Love the photo with the spikey hair. But, it seems, the flickr stream ran out of pictures. The slide show stopped. Not fair.
OK, I should be going to work now.

Ugh, I hear you. I am in a slightly better mood due to the broken AC situation at work leading to working from home. Ahhhh.
Anyway, Tom passed his test and interview! He'll be sworn in on August 26!
