Weekly Twitter Updates 2010-01-17
Posted in Twitter Updates on 01/17/2010 11:59 pm by Victoria- This weekend has gone fairly well. Yesterday I had an eye test and I ordered some new glasses. Today we had a carvery at The Cottage. #
- The interviewer for the web developer job left me a voicemail, but he said I can't call back until 7.30pm. Now I'm going to be feeling… #
- …jittery for the next hour, wondering whether I'll be offered the job or not. #
- It's gone 7.30pm, so I tried to call back that interviewer but he didn't answer. He must be running late.
# - The interviewer called back a few minutes ago, and I've been offered the job! I haven't felt this happy and excited for ages!
# - After all the upsets and disappointments of 2009, 2010 is turning out to be a brilliant year already! ♥ #
- @BillyGottaJob Thanks, I'm really looking forward to what this new job has in store, and I hope you'll enjoy your new job too. in reply to BillyGottaJob #
- @beccaspeaks Thanks, I'm really excited – it has been my dream for years to become a web developer, and I've finally fulfilled it! in reply to beccaspeaks #
- @davidtreynolds Thanks! in reply to davidtreynolds #
- @beccaspeaks It's an external job. My current job at Aviva ends in April, so that's why I was looking for new jobs. in reply to beccaspeaks #
- I'm still really excited about my new job, but I can't really say too much more about it until the contract arrives. #
- I'm now about to go to bed – I just hope I'll be able to get to sleep what with all this excitement. #
- I've got my appraisal today. It will seem weird talking about my plans for the future as I'm not allowed to tell them about my new job yet. #
- I'm not allowed to tell my manager or coworkers about my new job until the contract is signed. It will be difficult to keep it a secret! #
- @beccaspeaks Luckily my twitter feed isn't on my AW profile. No one in my team knows I use Twitter. in reply to beccaspeaks #
- Most of the snow has melted, but this morning it took me twice as long – 50 mins – to get into the city as it did last week. Go figure! #
- For the last 2 nights, I've slept better than I have done for ages. No more worrying about restructures or company instability!
# - Not such a happy bunny! Some of my files have vanished from our network drive. It could take 3 days for them to be restored. #
- On a lighter note, I passed by 2 of my former colleagues from years gone by, and they were asking me what I'm doing these days. #
- First those documentation files vanished, & now part of our intranet site has vanished! It makes me wonder what's going to vanish next! :~( #
- @smashingmag I prefer contact forms as I find them more convenient. in reply to smashingmag #
- This week feels like it's moving in slow motion. It's because I'm so eager to receive my new contract in writing and find out my start date. #
- Having bought new clothes recently, I often wonder why sleeves are always so long. Sometimes they extend nearly as far as my fingertips! #
- Just had a weird phonecall from someone connected to my bank asking if I'd like to take part in an accident insurance scheme… #
- …at first I thought they were offering it free to all the bank customers, but then they said it costs £6 a month, so I said no! #
- I nominate @smashingmag for a Shorty Award in #design because they have good articles about web development. http://bit.ly/shorty #
- Today's been a bit of a weird day, but at least it's nowhere near as bad as last Wednesday! #
- I've been creating a new blog book including all my blog entries to the end of 2009. I'll have to proofread it tomorrow. #
- Morning! I'm hoping there will be no more vanishing acts today, that those files will reappear, and also that my new contract will arrive. #
- Feeling a bit tetchy as I stayed up til 1am to finish my book. Vanished files still vanished. Contract still non-existent (AFAIK). #
- I can't wait to see what The Twit Cleaner (http://thetwitcleaner.com) makes of my tweetstream, it's analysing it as we speak #
- The Twit Cleaner is cleaning the junk out of my tweetstream. Check it here: http://is.gd/6bYET #
- I only just found out that Bebo (the social networking site) stands for "Blog early, blog often". Not that I use it these days, anyway. #
- All the snow in our garden has melted now. After being white for nearly a month, it is so strange to see that the lawn is green again! #
- Just realised it's exactly a month until my birthday! #
- I feel a bit creeped out.I received a letter from my doctor, but it looked like someone had opened it as the flap was sealed with sellotape. #
- I think it was originally delivered to the wrong person, but it's creepy that they opened it before putting it through my letterbox. #
- I hate that "my fine is" meme on facebook. It seems to glorify criminal activity, including drunk-driving and stealing. Also cheating. #
- I'm having my hair cut tomorrow and I've been looking at this site to get ideas: http://www.hairfinder.com/hairstyles.htm #
- I like the new version of Seesmic Desktop. #
- Feeling really fed up this afternoon. Limbo is not a nice place to be. Sigh! #
- I read in my horoscope that the 1st 3 weeks of January will be up and down just like 2009 was, and then things will start to settle down. #
- Now on the way to the hairdressers. I wonder how my new hair style will turn out. #
- I'm loving my new hair style! It has cheered me up a bit, anyway. #
- @smashingmag I can't seem to get that link to work. in reply to smashingmag #
- I'm now catching up on my old emails. #
