Buckwheat Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I had some sort of an interview for a summer job today. Is that a good life choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, although I prefer mine. Not working in the summer. Ok, I DO work, but it is prep and inventory and conferences n stuff. No CLASSES THANK YOU SWEET BABY JESUS! So I am grading right now and it is so boring. So I tell myself I can quit after 1 more paper. Then 1 more. Then 1 more. Sigh. I have been 1 more papering for 4 hours today. Not even done with this class yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get this summer thingy, it will not be teaching. But I can see how no classes for two months will be good for you. Good luck with the grading. 1 minute ago, The Kingmaker said: Is this one of those jobs they expect you to show... um... "commitment and responsibility"? *hisses at the words* Actually they just emphasised being on time. I suppose this shows commitment? And well, it is working with people who need you for help and information, so being responsible would probably help as well. I do not have a problem with commitment and responsibility, I do have a problem with being open and communicative and able to react productively and quickly in every situation ...

HexMachina Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 5 hours ago, Buckwheat said: I finally managed to borrow and start reading The Lies of Locke Lamora. Now lets see if it is as good as they say! I also bought a new book, one of poetry, because I obviously cannot be trusted in a bookshop. But I had a chance to get both the autographs from the author and the translator, and they are so beautiful poems. I've not been so excited over a book purchase since... 4 hours ago, The Kingmaker said: Not being trusted in a bookstore is my favourite trait. Last week I bought first book of First Law series as only local bookstore who sells English novels finally brought it here. Tomorrow I'll go buy the rest. I probably need someone to manage my financial choices... and rest of my life choices too. Book shops are my one weakness when it comes to buying stuff for myself. Clothes, eh, take it or leave it. DVDs, eh, wait till its on Netflix or Amazon. Books though...whole different story. Thank heavens for limited funds or I'd have nowhere to put all the books I would buy. I found The Blade Itself a bit disappointing, it's very obviously Abercrombie's first novel, but the series certainly improves a lot in the second and third books.

Lady Olenna Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 i am following this thing on FB that has daily free ebooks. Mostly to do with gardening and diy stuff but I am sure there must be a fiction version/non fiction version? I have a collection on my kindle of probably ho hum reading but I figure why not it's free! Not that I ever have time to read them .... >_> Eyron - glad you are doing so well on the no carbs. I never liked sweets either until I became pregnant. Then all hell broke loose. Gluten free isn't too difficult either. I actually already feel a bit better. But as you say, we shall see how long I hold up. Tomorrow is Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, I've read it as setting and character introduction book and found it quite pleasing. Might run my next tabletop game on that setting after I finish the series.

I do not have place to put books as it is. Whoopsie. I only read the first novel by him back in high school ... obviously I was not interested enough to read on (although I had already borrowed the second one, but returned it unread). I somehow cannot concentrate on reading these days though. So I take it you people just do not want to finish this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was absolutely waiting for you to make that joke I have many weaknesses, and book shops are like eight of them.

Today I'm breaking routine and am having sushi for supper. One day of carbs a week I think is a good regime. At least it will let me keep it up longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
