Huzzah, I am once again employed. At least until the end of the Christmas season, with the possibility to be kept on afterwards, possibly. It's just retail work at the local Argos but it feels good to be back on the job-having wagon, like maybe I'll actually make this whole being a grown-up thing stick this time round ( Read more... )

When group therapy ended we all exchanged contact info, so I've been keeping in touch with the rest of the group. Mostly through texts and e-mail but the other week I went into Thame to meet up with Sarah and Chris. We had lunch in a cafe Sarah recommended and ended up taking close to two hours, just caught up in conversation, then we went and ( Read more... )

I have the 80K podfic fully recorded and I've just finished splicing out all the mistakes. Now I just have to beta-listen to roughly seven hours of podfic and re-record any lines that I'm not happy with. I may finish with a few days of amplificathon left, if so there's another shorter fic I may be able to get done before the final deadline.

So Fran had a complete hard drive meltdown and everything on my main and back-up drives was totally lost. The only good news is that my external back-up drive survived so it wasn't a total loss. Still: all my PC games and save files, half a year's worth of my iTunes library and the extensive list of TV shows/Movies I wanted to check out are kaput ( Read more... )

Therapy is still going well. My goal is to practice healthy communication with the other members of the group by taking an interest, asking them questions, remembering to speak up rather than wallow in anxiety over the right time to speak. I think it'll help, though the difference between the controlled setting of the group and real life social ( Read more... )

So helping out at the County Show wasn't so bad. I still maintain that I'm terrible at interacting with young children and my feet were killing me by the end of the day, but I got into the swing of talking to people a lot better than at the Health & Safety Day which shows a marked improvement I guess ( Read more... )

Got the podfic up on the comm and things are sort of falling into place. It's a little too early to tell if everything's going to work out, but I'm quietly optimistic that it's gonna be a success ( Read more... )

Fell back into my old habits of not updating, *slaps wrist* Bad Dreymer, no cookie ( Read more... )

Missed yesterday's post because Sam and I got distracted by TeamFourStar's DBZ abridged. If you're at all familiar with Dragonball Z, or even just a fan of abridged series, I really recommend you look this one up because it had Sam and I rolling with laughter.

Spent most of today going out on field work. Spent the morning with Jules and we talked a ( Read more... )

Spent the morning stuffing envelopes for Jules and then had to leave for an early lunch so that I could be at the Gateway to keep minutes for a meeting for Jane. It was a meeting concerning new tech, so I got to watch 30-50 year olds oohing and aahing over video conferencing software, etc. Jane asked if I wanted to play about with any of the demo- ( Read more... )
