- Steven got me something I’ve wanted for a LONG time for our anniversary and I can’t wait to share it when it’s finished! Teaser pic:
It’s a kitty!
- Last year my hair stylist told me to stop using elastic hair ties and to use plastic phone cord style hair ties. So I switched to those. Now my new stylist is telling me scrunchies are even better. Ha. Okay, okay, I’ll bite.
- I’m so excited about our jeans and slippers weather this week! (Is anyone else really struggling to get used to the new AccuWeather app format?)
- I had my interview debrief at work last week. I got the feedback I expected – that some of my examples weren’t complex enough/didn’t have all the right information. The interview is point based and I did not score enough points to proceed. But they gave me feedback on what to work on, so that’s good!
- Why am I still having dreams about leaving to live in Italy despite it having been almost 15 years ago?!?! This time I forgot to pack drafting supplies, socks, underwear, shoes, and workout clothes. (Ha, okay, weird flex – I was bragging to Steven about my new underwear and socks last night, so that might be part of it, and we do have a trip coming up, but what a lame thing to continually dream about… I was looking for a Rome pic to add to this post, and found another RTT where I basically wrote the same thing about dreaming about packing)
- If I could go back in time and redo something it would be the summer I lived alone in Rome. I realize now I was lonely. And if I went back with the knowledge I have now (and the technology!), I wouldn’t be.
And now I’ve got the image of Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake singing “Cat in the Box” stuck in my head. Yes, my brain can bastardize even the most already-parody-laden lyrics around.
LOL! I prefer the cat 🙂
You’re just taunting me with those highs in the mid-60s. I cannot wait for our weather to start cooling off. Even 85 degrees would feel nice!
I know you were worried that your examples weren’t strong enough, so at least it wasn’t something way out of left field. Now that you’ve had the debrief and know the reason, hopefully you can really process the disappointment and move forward. <3
Very excited to find out what the anniversary present is. Suspense!
I hope it does soon! Did you get any break for your move?!
Yes! I feel like I can! And they gave me the great idea to write down possible ideas for interviews every week or so, so it’s not so much work to think of them in the future.
I hope I can tell you guys soon. Steven says he still has a lot to do to it but there is some Dragonstone stuff that needs to be done first :-/
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS WEATHER!! So is my electricity bill, which has not been pretty the past two months with how much we’ve run the air conditioning. I’m so disappointed it’s going to be, like, 70 in a couple of days. Haha. I put out my fall Target birdies to celebrate the cold weather. Hopefully they don’t overheat when it gets back into the high 70s/low 80s next week 😛
I could NOT agree more about the AccuWeather update! I hate it! I never like it when AccuWeather revamps their app, but I feel like this was the worst revamp they’ve ever done. I shouldn’t have to click on every single day to see the forecast details! Why isn’t that on the main screen anymore?! Don’t even get me started on the radar. No one wants your stupid, inaccurate “future” radar, AccuWeather. I just want to see how the rain has been moving, not whatever imaginary thing you think is going to happen in the future, which is almost certainly wrong.
Ha! I hope your birdies are okay too! Do you have summer ones you swapped them out for? I need to get my fall ones out!
I think it’s the worst revamp too. It’s way more clicks to see things now which makes me hella bonkers. The main screen used to show more, like the dew point and now I have to scroll down and click. Not the end of the world, but dumb.
Ha, they had the option for future radar before – do they not offer past radar anymore?!
They don’t make summer birds!!!!!!!! I know, a tragedy and untapped opportunity if every there were one. Can you imagine the little birdies in bathing suits, or dressed up for the Fourth of July?!?! Obviously I would buy all of them. But as far as I could tell, there are no themed birds at all for any time between Easter and Halloween. UNACCEPTABLE.
I didn’t realize they had future radar before! I wonder if there was a setting I had turned off to avoid it. They still do past radar, but I think it’s ridiculous that if you play the animation, it doesn’t stop at the current time!!!! It just keeps going for the next imaginary two hours!! Ugh. It annoys me so much. And I completely agree about the dew point thing. During the summer, that’s honestly the most valuable piece of information. Hiding it is so stupid!!
Right! And picnic birds. BIRD WATCHING BIRDS OMG. WTF Target. And Aldi. Come on.
Ha, and in the past, you had to click past OR future radar – it didn’t play from past to future. Le sigh. I keep hoping they will update it and make it better, but so far, no dice.
Oooh, what is the mystery gift???
I am glad you got some good feedback on your application. Even though it was a disappointment, you will have learned something from going through this process, which will hopefully help you next time!
Glad you are enjoying nicer weather – we are too!
I hope I can show you guys soon! Steven thinks it will take a while to finish it 🙁
It will definitely help next time! Now I need to think of better, more complex examples.
Yay! I am glad you got it too!
