Pleban Girls Party - slowly corrupting the world

SG

I'll be in and out - I found an online Excel tutorial that I've started working my way through... Have an interview at an employment agency tomorrow morning at 10 (the place I sent the resume to last night) and the gentleman told me there would be an Excel test as part of the process Haven't used much of it for the last few years, so I'm reviewing *g*

 

[Sad_Girl]

Sounds like a pretty wise idea, then Drea

glad to hear you got an interview so quickly Sounds promising


I'm just TRYING to work on the sims blog and put together a couple of clips from the few minutes I've gotten to play in the past couple of days

Sarah Glad to be done school?

um....YES!!! but like, there's so much summer work, so it's almost as if we never got released

 

[Sad_Girl]

Hi Sarah

Summer work? Eww! What an evil creation glad I never had to do that

 

[bonocomet]

Yeah I never had that

And I didn't like when my kids got it either. I told them they didn't have to do all of it.

Hi all

congrats on getting an interview so quickly, Drea, they must've liked your resume!

You guys are so lucky! For us, all of the summer work gets counted as a test grade and we have tests on it when we get back to school. AND if we don't do it, then we can't move on to the class we want (ex: If I don't read and do all the activities for The Power of One, aka the most tedious book ever that's already put me to sleep twice in the first chapter, then I'm not allowed to take Advanced English 2)

BTW, how are everyone's avatars so big now?!

Hi all

Actually, an interview's part of the registration process - and I had to send a Word attachment of my resume to him after I got home from following up on it today; I'd sent a plain text version because (as I explained to him) I know that some places delete emails with attachments... I'd thought about sending him my resume that way last night, but went the safe route which ended up being wrong

[bonocomet]

I wish I could get pics of my U2 Sims. (They're on my daughters computer and she can't figure out how to get the pics) My JT Bono was

 

[Drea]

Well well well New house, a little woo-hoo in the hot tub... my sim's having a good time

I agree that I break is needed, summer should be summer!

That's awesome about the avi's, I wish I knew how to make them so that I could make mine bigger!

oh, well in that case, good luck with the interview! I'm sure they'll like you for the job.

I'm excited because I'm finally almost done with the sock I've been knitting for what feels like most of my adult life

Just think, when I get done with it, I get to make another just like it all over again!

Gotta love Second Sock Syndrome Haven't fallen prey to that yet (haven't done socks ) but I *have* suffered Second Shawl Syndrome *snerk*

If you post the original pic I'm sure someone here can do it for you, or I could when my daughter gets home later

Gotta love Second Sock Syndrome Haven't fallen prey to that yet (haven't done socks ) but I *have* suffered Second Shawl Syndrome *snerk*

I've always either made 2 socks at once and thus avoided SSS that way, or else just made myself jump right into the second sock without giving it much thought. This one just kind of makes me go UGH, though, because I'm not in love with the yarn and I'm not even wearing socks these days, much less wool ones.

I'd love nothing more than to put this project away until fall and start something different, something distinctly un-sockish. Like a wrap, shawl, ipod cozy....anything, I guess.

Here's my current project, in case anyone's interested. It's considerably farther along now, just a couple rows and the toe will be done!

Well...

EA Games > The Sims 2 > Neighborhoods > N00(#) > Storytelling

the JPG's are in the storytelling folder

and I have an awesome JT Bono - someone else built the outfit but I don't care he's

 

[circa1992]

Ahh, sorry my picture came up so big!!

I the colour What pattern is that?

 

[bonocomet]

No problem! It should be pretty easy for anyone with photoshop to resize for you, I don't have it and my daughter who does isn't home at the moment.

Cute pic by the way!

 

[bonocomet]

Oh his sig will be there on the avi too if that's ok!

Hello

Happy Fourth of July night, my fellow Americans. People are shooting off loud illegal fireworks just outside my window and it's really annoying.

I would have gone out to see fireworks, but A. I need to be at work early tomorrow, and B. I saw fireworks Sunday night and last night.

 

[Sad_Girl]

 

[Sad_Girl]

Hey Jo happy fourth to you, too ( )

 

[circa1992]

THANKS!!

Thanks I'll tell her and hopefully she can get them! We just made our guys with whichever stuff was already on the game, and they came out great, but I heard you can get the ones that are built to look like them, is that what you got?


hello jobob

 

[love2bmama]

I the colour What pattern is that?

thanks, I'm loving that kind of teal-green-blue color right now too. It's the embossed leaves pattern from Interweave's Favorite Socks book.


Sarah, I'm not very good at resizing pics, it took me a while to get my avi down to the right size and resolution, otherwise I'd help you out.

I agree with comet, though, cute pic!!


Hi Jo!
Fireworks have been driving me batty for 3 days now, at this point I'll just be glad when it's over, lol!
