How a newbie can have the audacity to insert herself into someone else's conversation.
But I have to ask -- does anyone know where to get the typical Kaylee shirts? (spandex-y, SE asian prints, usually kinda feminine)
I've googled til I can't google no more.
Would sincerely appreciate any help on this.
Sorry about the frustrating job hunt, PhoenixRose. I've been there. Hang on.

Hiya all.
MsG: It's offical...I have a low tolerance for being stuck in a 'workshop' that has extremely little to do with me -- got so bored at one I sat in it with a computer trying to create a SIOP (sheltered instructional observation protocol -- originally made to teach those who are learning English as a second language) lesson plan based on the sample given us (didn't work, because I couldn't remember the way to write the plan). (I think that if you and I were both in the same workshops bored, we'd terrorize the instructors. )
SBDB: Hi. A beta tester is someone who is tests a program to find any weak points in a program (attempts to "break" the program) so that they can be fixed before the program reaches the average person.
I think you might want a beta-reader, someone who reads and double checks spelling, grammer, and continuity/general knowledge errors when writing fanfiction.
PR: Good vibes coming from my place. Question for you: What kind of job are you looking for? (Beyond the "it pays the bills and a little extra") If you want something that works with students/children, you might want to check with a school, they might have some jobs that you can fill (clerical, teaching tutors, aides, etc.) if you ask (it's about that time of the school year when they look for people). Or, you could try your former high schools Career Counseling center, or check the employment boards at the nearest Junior College/College/University (and maybe the campus paper -- used to see job leads there).
MisterG: Happy Belated Birthday.
Tristan: Happy Belated Birthday Mal's-older-twin-brother! May you continue to fly under the Alliance's radar (let Mal deal with the problems of the Alliance eyeballing him !) (Whew! 's a long title...how's that one fit?)
Okay, question: If you had a really rotten ex (ex of Doom, b
d ex, or even general loser ex) and you happend to be in the same place as ex and ex's new S.O., would you attempt to warn new S.O. about ex? (e.g. "I thought you should know that ##### tends to lie about things to look good, but ##### has lost a job for being caught lying.") I've been tempted to, but figured that new S.O. would think that it's a "sour grapes" thing and discount what I would say. (Happier note, bd ex2 was at the same place as I was, but didn't hang out with the "old crowd" that both of us used to. I ignored b ex2 so it wasn't me doing anything to ex2.)

But I might look into that. I'm not great shakes at Excel, though, so most celerical positions go to better-qualified candidates.
But yeah, mostly "pays the bills" is what I'm looking for. I'd love to work in graphics, and I've applied, but considering how many people in this area have degrees in graphic design, I tend to get passed up for those, too. Even though I'm a very good designer despite the lack of formal training. Doom. I'd settle right now for a job that wasn't too tedious and mind-numbing and had benifits; paying dental out of my pocket is getting really damn old.
Warning new SO of an ex... Yeah, I've been tempted, but it never works. They always say "Oh, you're just bitter" so I just avoid it. They'll find out. Oddly enough, though, I don't tend to come into contact with exes, and if I do they're single (at times quite recently single). Very strange.

Hiya SeaOtter:
Best I could find in my "quick and dirty" search was on ebay. You might want to check in the women's section using a combination of long sleeve, asian, anime, and/or shirt in the search.
Google's more for looking up information (and froogle isn't too hot in my opinon). Might want to check out other types of online auction pages.
Hope that helps.

Have you thought of applying for a different kind of job in a graphics design company instead? Maybe going for a clerical or office role? That way instead of your lack of formal training working against you, your interest in it will work in your favour. And once your foot is in the door you'll have the best opportunity ever to find out how to get the role you want without having to go back to school.

Kaylee, that sounded like so much fun! Being a native Californian, myself, and having grown up with Disneyland (and is Orlando ever weird!) that just looked like a hoot! Do they do this just once a year or several times? I'd love to attend one of them.
Old woman, young heart! Me!

If there was a graphics company that might actually need a secretary, yeah, that would be great. Don't think there are, though. It's just Kinko's up here, and similar places.

Hello Browncoats. I haven't posted in a while.... just saying hi. I don't really even know what this blog is about as my ADD (self diagnosed) is kicking in overdrive today. I know y'all speakin' english, but I can't read so good today. Hope your weekends were better than mine.... They can't all be parties.

Ah, no, maybe not looking forward to the Alice movie so much, i was sure it was originally a book - movies based on games always seem to turn out a bit pants.
But its bound to be a visual treat.
Bill Baily is a god. A short, hairy, piano playing god. In bad clothes. He is Geek God!
Ok, never mind.
Yes, clubs in Liverpool are ok,ish, maybe. I think Korova's pretty new, the problem is they're limited by music style, and therefore by clientel. The majority of them are scally dance music venues, where the sole aim is to get as pissed as possible and rub yourself against something. Avoid those like the plague. To be honest you probably would cattch the plague there.
Then there are other low key places, that play more eclectic mixes, which i tend to like, The Jacaranda is cool, and Hannahs, which has a jazz night as well, then indie/alt. stuff, then very niche stuff, like korova, which is electro etc. The problem is the people in them, it goes from one one extreme to the other, you either have to negotiate drunken, retarded, violent morons or snobby, elitist, to-cool-for-school idiots.
Oh and then theres the raft of 'celebrity' hangouts, catering for people who get paid too much and written about too much for what they actually do, and their attendant butt-suckers and groupie hopefuls. Again, plague be here.
Its very hard to find a club that plays the music you like, populated by fun friendly and accepting people, who ain't there to feed their own insecurities by acting like they are better than you, and instead just get on with the tasks of dancing having fun and enjoying themselves.
The closest i ever got was one called the Krazy House which was rock/metal/goth stuff mainly, but on the upper floors they often played stuff like the Foo's, RHCP's and their sort, which are great to dance to. Occasionally they'd even play older stuff like Bowie or Madness.
But that stopped, I tried going back after returning from collage, but it wasn't the same - i felt like i needed to be handing out nappies, the average age was so young (i have no right to complain, seing as i started clubbing at 15, but..) and the whole place was like a very dark dirty badly scripted episode of The OC. Drama! oh my god kids these days can't function with out it! break ups make up drugs cheatings, flirtations! all dressed up in technicolour melodrama. Eldorado was never this bad!
and the dirt! plague it may not be but dysentry and hepatitis were a distinct possibility.
but the problem being, that though i go to manchester to see bands, clubbing there is not a good idea, as safe travelling is an issue just from liverpool, and chester? past eleven, the place may as well cease to exist as far as public transport officials are concerned.
Gorram lack of car!
but the point is, i'm limited to liverpool, and doubt i'll find the perfect club with out opening my own.
actually no, i've lost the point, i'm just ranting!
ah, i shall join Jack in the no reading today my head hurts corner.

Sometimes a weekend is just that 6 String... and yeah - mine was quiet and non-eventful, except for my baby doll turning 5! (I'm her nanny, not her mummy) It's sometimes just a relief to be able to stay in bed and read a good book or stay in your PJs like Phoenix Rose and I did () ... sorry to hear yours wasn't so good though... 
Here, here's as close to a hug as I can manage 
Keep your chin up Gorgeous One! You will find that job... I just know it! The reason you haven't found it yet is that it's not ready for you... and when it is - you will hook up with it as if by magic! Trust me! And let me know when it happens!!! es to you!!
SBDB - sorry! I live in a totally different time zone to everyone it seems... I'd love to chat with you more - you are gorgeous! 
I love that I genuinely smile when I see my friends have posted messages!
I keep thinking of things to blame that Fox executive for... might start a new thread...???
