i'm a model of industry right now

Apr 09, 2009 11:14

1. Am I posting from work right now? YES I AM. I don't give a damn. I was gonna post yesterday, but was so crazy shacked I fell asleep in bed... the perils of having a netbook, sigh. Though I guess it's better for me than falling asleep on my chair and waking up all bent and broken just to stagger to bed ( Read more... )

2. :( That thing that you didn't want to jinx sounds SO awesome. Really crossing fingers that there's some reversal in that decision. Getting to work at the UN for a few months? My dream job too *hugs*

4b) Obviously agreed. I'm so behind, but can't even think about catching up until I've finished BSG. The throes of obsession are a terrible wonderful thing.

4c) Awwww <3 Yes, we all have a lot to be grateful to Kate the Great for.

2. Doesn't it? It really was a lot of work, and sounded daunting and I was kind of worried I wouldn't be able to do it because it would involve my stepping out of my comfort zone - but I guess that's all moot now since it's not happening. But it was kind of sad to find that out. :(

4b. You're so cute with your BSG obsession. When I'm 90 and finally am retired and have time to catch up, I bet I'll be the same way. And then you can pat me on the head and go, awwwww, so cute and flaily!

4c. You know it. ♥ I'd never have found you guys otherwise!

2. Psh - stop that silly talk. You would definitely have been able to do it! I know how you would have felt - I would have been overwhelmed as hell too - but I have total faith in your ability to rise to any challenge! Hope you get the chance - is the possibility completely dead or is there still hope that you might get to do it?

4b. I honestly thought I had lost the ability to get this scarily fangirly about something any more - it's been a really long time since I've been so out of control flaily. Not sure whether this is a good thing or if it should concern me :P Please don't wait until you're 90. I want you to experience the awesome that is BSG and specifically Mary McDonnell!!

2. Well, technically it wasn't a case of lack of ability, but the fact that someone more senior than me in the organisation had apparently expressed interest in the job too. And so he/she gets it because of rank. Urgh. This means it MIGHT be possible in future, but honestly, since I'm re-evaluating whether I want to stay in my organisation in the long term - I guess it might not happen after all? :\ Shame though.

4b. ONCE A FANGIRL, ALWAYS A FANGIRL. You just needed the right thing to push you over the edge! I have waaay too much tv to watch, I honestly think I'll be at LEAST 82 when I get around to BSG, but I'll try!

Definitely a shame - crossing fingers that whoever it is in your organisation decides that they don't want to do it so that you can instead. However, I'm most pleased to hear that you're thinking seriously about leaving!! xD

4b. FRAK ME. I have actually lost my mind now - the season 3 finale of BSG was so epically mindblowing that I was a quivering wreck by the end - literally curled up in the foetal position on my bed freaking out ;) SCARY, NO? But you MUST MUST MUST watch this show. If I have to physically come to Singapore and make you do it :P
