for yea verily, this is My Year

[the_siobhan]

I HAVE A JOB!

I danced. I really did. In my living room. It was the "I got a job" dance, which is very similar to the "I quit my job" dance, but with more butt-shaking and punching the air yelling Uh-yeah, Uh-yeah.

Next on the agenda for this month; win large sums of money in the lottery.


On the downside, it means I'm probably not going to Convergence after all. It falls right in the middle of my training.

Boo for no Convergence, but yay for new job!

[50-ft-queenie.livejournal.com]

YAY YOU!!!!! I knew you'd get it.

If it makes you feel any better, M and I aren't going to Convergence either. Can we have you guys over for dinner that weekend, maybe?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I think Axel is still planning on going. So I will probably be up for some hanging out while he's gone.

[50-ft-queenie.livejournal.com]

Woot! Homemade pizza and beer! BTW, we're almost out of wine. You guys wanna make some more soon?

[shillolo.livejournal.com]

totally butting here ...

I want in on the next batch of whatever the coffee beer dealio.

Please!

[50-ft-queenie.livejournal.com]

Hell yes. The more the merrier! We can talk about it over dinner tomorrow night. :)

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

You want to split a batch? When do you want it for?

(Takes about two weeks to brew.)

[shillolo.livejournal.com]

Well ...to answer the when would involve time travel, so we'll have to resort to as soon as I can afford it, so as soon as all the T4's arrive, and the taxes are done, so reasonably soon.

How much are we talkin'?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I've been trying to figure that out. :-p

We paid $140 for a full keg, and that makes 40-45 litres. A half-keg is the minimum amount you can make at a time.

We'e going to be there on Friday to bottle some wine, I can double-check the numbers.

[shillolo.livejournal.com]

Okey dokey - it looks like we'll be good to go, prolly by the end of next week.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

We ended up putting up a batch yesterday, since we were there anyway.

It ended up costing $70 for the beer. We'll be bottling it in about 2 weeks. Just let us know how much of the batch you want. (We already have all the bottles for it.)

[(Anonymous)]

Oh excellent!

I'd gladly split that with you guys.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

We're actually bottling a batch on Friday. Want to meet us there? We can set up our next batch to coincide.

[50-ft-queenie.livejournal.com]

Love to! M can't make it, but he trusts me to choose a good wine. ;) I'd also like to start a batch of cider for myself.

What time?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

We have an appt for 7pm.

[ash-pixie.livejournal.com]

Thats awsome! Congrats!

[unagothae.livejournal.com]

YAY!!! JOB!!! YAY!!!

I'm not going to convergence either, but one of these years...eventually.

YAY JOB!!!

[panic-girl.livejournal.com]

Yay new job!

You can just come over to my new place and we'll drink mint jeulips. ;)

[redheaded-pixie.livejournal.com]

YAY Job!!!

Also: your icon makes me giggle with it's appropriateness ;]

[silentq.livejournal.com]

I'll be entirely unoriginal and just say: YAY! JOB!!! :)
I'm sorry I won't see you in NOLA, but hope to drag a few people up to T.O. for da pig roast this summer, so I'll see you then instead. :)

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Whoot! :-)

[silentq.livejournal.com]

I just need to know the date as far ahead as possible so I can get the thumbscrews on everyone. ;)

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I think he's already decided to do it in mid-June because the long weekend had family obligations for a lot of the local folks. I'll poke him about it.

[the_axel]

Saturday the 17th of June.
Thanks for reminding me to announce that.

[silentq.livejournal.com]

Oh, poo, I was hoping for a long weekend so I could do a road trip and drag more people along, but I have to be frugal with my vacation days this year (we're planning a trip to Japan and I want to go for as long as possible). I'll still plan to fly up, but I may not be able to convince anyone else to come with me. :/ Er, it would be okay to invite friends along, right?

[the_axel]

Sorry about that. I debated whether to hold it on July 1/4 weekend this year because I found a lot of TO peeps go out of town for the weekend & when I posed the question on my LJ more people said the 17th worked for them.

Er, it would be okay to invite friends along, right?

Of course it is.

[silentq.livejournal.com]

No worries, I can make it by air, it's just easier to bring stuff if I drive. :)
I'll see if I can convince anyone to come along, but I may have more luck on a long weekend, so you guys may see me twice this year. :)

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Win!

[inulro.livejournal.com]

Yay! Job!

When do you start?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Exactly one month from today.

So I get a bit of a break before I get started. Which is nice, if a bit tight financially.

[50-ft-queenie.livejournal.com]

You get a month off?

*envy*

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I'm going to try and spend it writing.

With a couple of days off for sitting around in bathrobe and playing video games first, of course.

[50-ft-queenie.livejournal.com]

Sounds like an excellent plan on both counts. If you feel like watching some movies, I can lend you Hellboy.

[girfan.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

[sola.livejournal.com]

Awesome.

[lee-chaos.livejournal.com]

GO TEAM YOU!

Certainly seems the season for it, doesn't it? So good to have a bit of good news, it feels like Spring will be upon us soon...

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

February doesn't have a great reputation, but it's treating me very well!

[shillolo.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

awesome...

[zero-gravity.livejournal.com]

that was FAST. Nice to know your talents are in demand enough. Seems like i was just catching up on your "i'm back" posts and whooosh! you've got job.
Great stuff! congrats. :D

Re: awesome...

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

It's not completely out of the blue - I had an interview on the Monday morning I left. I did the interview, got changed in the bathroom, handed my suit to Axel and then took a cab to the airport.

How did the birthday bash go?

Re: awesome...

[zero-gravity.livejournal.com]

i think it went pretty darned well. About 50 people showed which is more than i expected on a bitterly chill night in the middle of February. I posted a short blurb about it on lj. I didn't spend enough time with Axel though... this summer I want to have a few more get togethers. I have a crazy idea about having a Curry Cook-off. summthin like that.

I was almost able to walk the next day. :D

[grimjim.livejournal.com]

I recommend putting the lottery winnings on next month's agenda, as this month is almost up.

[epi-lj.livejournal.com]

Hooray! :)

Congratulations!

[magman.livejournal.com]

I know that dance fairly well. Sometimes I wonder if I've had too many opportunities to perform it. Thus far I've performed it in my bedroom, my driveway, the living room, kitchen and back deck. Occasionally it would start in one room and spill into the other.

[the-fury.livejournal.com]

w00t! and Gratz!

[kightp.livejournal.com]

Hot damn!

[fudjo.livejournal.com]

Hey, congrats!

[deathboy.livejournal.com]

you is win! congrats! :D

[bcholmes.livejournal.com]

Yay! String power! New job is teh r0xx0r!

[dj-doc.livejournal.com]

As I can't make Convergence myself a full and heartly greaaaat! from me :-)

[greylock.livejournal.com]

I'm far too drunk to manage more than a HOORAH!

[individuation.livejournal.com]

That's awesome :)
Congratulations!

[iamjw.livejournal.com]

YAY!!
