Change of plan

[sqbr]

The "Yay sophie is unemployed" party tommorrow has been replaced by another party at the same time called..the "OMG SOPHIE HAS A GROWNUP JOB Party"!!

Yay! *dances*

Will be doing databasey stuff(*), which matches all the requirements I had for my next job, ie

• Utilises at least some of the skills I learned during my degree(s)
  
• Sitting down
  
• No public speaking
  
• No public interactions
  
• NO CHILDREN
  
• Pays actual money rather than free entry and cake
  

I had signed up for maths tutoring as a stopgap in case I didn't get it, part of me's a little sad I won't get a chance to do any tutorials (this is the first time the department has run them since I was in year 12) but overall...yay!

(*)I'm not comfortable going into details in a public post on principle, if you want to know more you'll have to come to the party and ask :P(**)
(**)Yeah, ok, unless you're nico_wolfwood or anyone else who can't come. It's the one I applied for before I left for Singapore, may ramble about in a locked post once I've actually started and know what it's like.

I am planning on attending tomorrow, but due to basketball at 4:20 I will be lucky to be there before 6:30 or so. Don't feel the need to save me any pizza.

[alias_sqbr]

Cool, see you then!

[tommmo.livejournal.com]

I just heard today that it'd been confirmed. See you on Wednesday :)

[alias_sqbr]

Absolutely :D

[stephbg.livejournal.com]

Good for you. It's always nice to see an education come in handy in a specific kind of way.

[alias_sqbr]

Heh, while it is computery and analytical and logical, apart from those broad similarities it has pretty much nothing to do with what I actually studied :)

[stephbg.livejournal.com]

There are plenty of jobs without logic so you're ahead there at least.

[greteldragon.livejournal.com]

So, I work till 6. I probably can't get there till at least 7pm. Is it worth showing up?

[alias_sqbr]

Hmm...hard to say. There'll be a couple of people arriving at 6ish (see above), and steph and davyd won't be leaving till 7:30, but I will be kicking people out after a while and I don't know how many others will still be around. Fru is having a party in the evening that I imagine some people will be going to afterwards though unless he's moved it'll be a pretty big distance from my house.

You know, if all you people who can't make it till the evening had mentioned this earlier I might have changed the time. Just saying :P

Oh, great, now what am I going to wear?

[alias_sqbr]

What about that little green number you wore to the cake party?

[mothwentbad.livejournal.com]

*giggle* Did you like it?

[alias_sqbr]

I was too busy boggling at the nerve of turning up when you didn't even come to the wedding :P

[nico-wolfwood.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Sorry I won't be at the party but I'm really glad to know you have the job. Yay!

[alias_sqbr]

Ah, I forgive you. Though I did come to your country for your last party :P

[nico-wolfwood.livejournal.com]

LOL. There's a bit of difference between a new job and a wedding I think...

[alias_sqbr]

Pfft.

Anyway, we served the cake from your wedding and everyone loved it. Mm. It was tasty.

[ataxi.livejournal.com]

Obviously can't come. Please elaborate on job particulars; until contradictory evidence is supplied I assume congratulations are in order, therefore: "Congratulations!"

[alias_sqbr]

*supplies no contradictory evidence, for there is none*

[miss-kittylix.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the job! YAY! Adam and I can't come to your party - we is poor! and has no petrols! Oh god I've been looking at lolcats too much! :)

[alias_sqbr]

Ah, I know what that's like. But there can never be too many lolcats!

[tommmo.livejournal.com]

I has petrols! You can has lift if you'd like! But not until 6ish...

[miss-kittylix.livejournal.com]

Aw! I just read this Sunday morning! Oh well.

[alias_sqbr]

Oh! And if you're in this situation again if you give me enough notice I'm sure I can find a lift by asking on lj (or you could ask yourself), a reasonable proportion of the attendees came from your suburb for some reason :)
