Bento! ... easy choice for Japanese if we're grabbing take-away *grin* ... but it's not the same as these ones, lovingly prepared by a mother for her children (:

I think I should be more worried. I have 25 days to my last written exam, I have a couple of weeks before I have to submit a thesis mid-year presentation thingy, and my probationary period at work is nearly ending. I haven't killed anyone yet, nor have I driven anyone to hang up on me, or had an auto-fail on a call yet, even though I should've by now. I know at least 5 calls where I've stuffed up *grin*

I shall continue to plod along for a while. Domesticness hits here on the weekends, which includes grocery shopping, and laundry. F1 racing is perfect for folding fresh-out-of-the-dryer clothes (: Mornings are made for sleeping in because it's too cold to get out of bed yet. Pity that doesn't apply on weekdays (:

Right. I did say I was going to be a couple of months between posts, but that was just ridiculous. I apologise to those people who were looking for something inane to read. *grin*

What's happened since the last one?

• Job is a job - finished the four weeks of training, and have now been on the phones for nearly six weeks. I haven't killed anyone yet, and I'm not sick of having to tell people the same thing every day. I am, however, not that enamoured with people who ring up expecting us to solve their problems yesterday already, and getting all huffy when they can't follow instructions. The rest of the calls are a breeze compared to these ones


• Uni is Uni. I've been attempting to study one subject during my lunch break at work, and working on brushing up my programming skills after work. Still need to work a bunch more, but at least I am putting in regular hours at this. Not quite enough for the lunchtime subject, and also not quite enough on the thesis project, but I'm not as freaked out as I was last year doing this. Not having to plan a wedding definitely helps this aspect. Exam timetable has come out, and I'll actually get Queens Birthday as a paid holiday this year...


• In other life-related things, Radiohead = Good, Radiohead cancelling second show = Bad. Monday night tennis = Good, not being able to organise enough people to commit to a Thursday night competition = Mildly annoying.

What's been on my blog reading list of late? Much food blog-ness ... Decay and I aren't foodies, we just kinda like trying things ... and what better place to research than the internet ?

1. Look in the fridge, do we have anything we want to use tonight?


2. Jump on the internet, do a google search for recipes involving this, with an optional theme parameter


3. ???


4. Profit!

Besides that, there's the massive list of food blogs (with last update time) over here, of which Chocolate and Zucchini and I was just really very hungry have been regular reading material in the last month or so, among others. I seem to have the attention span of something that really doesn't have much of an attention span, that then gets distracted ... oh look, a tree!

Anyways, I shall get back to making myself remember what I forgot about programming - I like it a lot when I can get something to work ... makes the frustration of it not working worthwhile.
