    Eh, we'd prefer Waicon. Better stage for cos comp and bette rpeople we reckon. Supanova is generally the same crowd as any other Supanova in Aus, of which we already attend enough.

    Hm. Different people prefer different things. The convention center definitely has a better stage, but I'm the type who likes to walk around in cosplay and check out all the stalls.

    Speaking of that, it seems Perthnova is going to be held there instead of the Showgrounds this year.

    I personally find the people to be the same. I'm just into one event over the other.

    I'm alive. So is Peregrine.

    Life is a bit stagnant right now. I am having an extremely hard time finding work (well, paid work, I have a volunteer job on the go at church). Peregrine is still teaching, but is also having a hard time finding anything but short-term contract work. It's a miracle we haven't gone broke yet.

    Something something conflict of interest?

    Friendly teasing aside... I'm good. Still unemployed unfortunately and not doing much. Still, the cat loves me, so life is good on that front.

    If you have a cat that loves you, then life can never be too bad.

    So... I just applied for a job with St. John of God Healthcare. Can someone please explain to me why they wanted my Skype username to finish the application?

    They also asked for my passport number, but I ignored that bit.

    That sounds reeeeally strange, Moreta.

    I've been in a bit of a bad spot mentally, but I think I'm starting to turn it around. Found a group to play Pokemon cards with, too.

    Actually I have a theory as to why they asked. It was part of the question about citizenship and visas and the right to work in Australia. My guess is they asked so they can quickly look up your details and see if you can work. As I am a NZ citizen, I can work without any trouble, and as the question wasn't mandatory I chose to ignore it. It's not government work, therefore I don't have to be a citizen, therefore they don't get those details.

    I'm actually still alive! Though that might shock you, what with me having not been here for months and months. But life goes in in leaps and bounds, though only when I'm not looking, because when I am looking it seems that it goes on in an unending swarm of assignments and never quite getting enough sleep.

    Having said that, it actually has changed a little bit, I've changed role playing groups, I've made it to my last year of teacher training, I've got a girlfriend, a new job and more work to do in the next week than I can possibly manage (the avoidance of which is what brings me here). So yeah, life is pretty good, all things considered.

    Its nice to see that even after I've been away for ages, this tread is still around (if only because of some magic)!

    In a word: busy. The last few months have been a bit of roller-coaster. It feels like I'm working four full-time jobs: doing my own work, which keeps on piling up; covering for my team leader, who is on leave this week; looking after my wife, who has been suffering with some personal issues; and being dad to my two-and-half year old son and six month old daughter. So, yeah... busy.

    I'm, uhh, around. Uni isn't going brilliantly this year, but it hasn't been too bad. I had my wisdom teeth removed today, which is rapidly shaping up to be four kinds of awful. So, uhh, yeah. Great time.

    Oooh, wisdom teeth suck. I had just one removed about 6-7 years ago and that was sucky enough. A friend of mine once had three taken out at once and she was out of it for a few days.

    You have my sympathies.

    Yeah, I got all four out. It was fine till the codeine wore off.

    Oh, you poor thing.

    Didn't they give you more? When my friend got her three out, she got a prescription for codeine to take for a few more days. She didn't, because she's allergic to the stuff, but she had it.

    Failure was entirely on my end - I waited too long to take another one, so I'm enjoying the fruits of my bad timing as we speak. It hasn't been a stunning success so far, mind. One of the sutures is loose, and odds are about 70/30 that I have nerve damage, too.

    EDIT: But yeah, accepting any and all sympathy

    Oooh yeah, that's bad. I remember when the painkiller wore off for my one tooth, it was thoroughly unpleasant. And I can't swallow tablets, so I had to chew the panadol. Try doing that when your whole mouth is aching.

    Actually, don't try doing that. It sucks.

    Doesn't codeine make you sleepy? (I wouldn't know, I've never needed to take it.) Maybe it'll put you to sleep and you can sleep through the pain.

    Not hugely, tbh. A little drowsy, maybe, but not enough to not be alert. Bit annoying, because I'd rather be asleep and not in pain than awake and in pain

    Alas, poor thread, I knew it, Playground.

    I hereby grant myself permission to resurrect this thread.

    *casts rise unthread*

    Blah blah, I think I've done all of these jokes before.



    Anyway, I have a purpose! All of the Playgrounders in Melbourne, would you like to go grab lunch, dinner, and/or watch Les Misérables on one day in October? If you're interested, let me know, and I'll discuss possible dates/times in PM.

    A shame. With any luck there are a few attendees. It's been quite some time since I've had any contact with the AitP group, so I think it will be a fun outing.
