    On the inter-office bus to the city. Excitement!


    @randomknits I love it!


    @ozdj Heading to CBP for the afternoon! You free to say hello? πŸ™‚


    @ozdj Yep. Have to leave at 5 though to get to class.


    I feel like Buffy on her first day at college.


    @drkknits Yes. And everybody else knows what they’re doing and has it all together and I’m flailing. Trying to keep up.


    RT @ozdj: Achievement Unlocked: IRL meet’n’greet with @web_goddess. +50XP


    @imdominating @TrinityMartinez Did you solve the mystery of Lily’s killer, or was it a total surprise??


    Just aced my third IIBA study group test. W00t.


    Very sorry to have missed tonight’s #GGDSyd! I’m sure it’s awesome. (Waves at @pyko and @Helen__H and everybody else as bus sails past…)


    @drkknits I think the other students are gonna kick my ass.


    The lady behind me on the bus is counselling somebody over her mobile, telling them how to pray to God to quit smoking. It’s awkward.


    God damn I love Diana Rigg. That’s some perfect GoT casting there. #nospoiler


    Made it to #auscrum. Anybody I know here?


    Scrum Australia conference! Anybody else here I know? (@ NSW Teachers Federation) http://t.co/e54ee9fw6Z


    Had to make a slight correction to my name tag. #scrumaus http://t.co/c5rSvFOSLF


    @Helen__H There are several @atlassian guys sitting right in front of me!


    @KurtSolarte Are you here at @auscrum? I’ll be on the lookout for you!

    @JulieKalitis A variation that wears jeans on a Monday?


    @randomknits Fast! So much to learn. I’ve never worked in a place that big before. So many acronyms, processes, etc. Team are friendly tho!


    On my way home. Brain frazzled, but in a good way. So much to learn! Everybody at @CommBank is so friendly though.


    I should also mention that the wardrobe is a win. With what @mrs_sockvictim picked out, I fit right in. Maybe even at the stylish end!


    @mrs_sockvictim New shows gave me a blister on my heel though. πŸ™


    @mrs_sockvictim shoes, that is.


    @pixel8ted @mrs_sockvictim Most of it is from Sportscraft at Myer.


    @drkknits If you don’t teach her to behave now, she’ll eat some peasant kid in a few years and make all sorts of difficulty for you.


    @mrs_sockvictim @pixel8ted Oh, did I make a fashionista faux pas? Am I meant to keep my sources secret? πŸ™‚


    @drkknits She totally looks like Drogon there. DRACARIS. Instant foot warmer!


    @mrs_sockvictim @pixel8ted Like *I* would ever buy “off the rack”! *flounces*

    (Did I do that right?)


    RT @CommBank: @web_goddess Hi Kris, we’re glad to hear your settling in well with the team CommBank. We wish you all the best with your …


    @redambition @randomknits I have some neon yellow Rowan cotton. No joke. Only like 3 balls though.


    @redambition @randomknits No, you’d have to find a lot more somewhere. It’s pretty vile.


    Thatcher dead? That’s a good time to shut down the computer and step away from the social media for the night, I think.

    Friggin’ blow-in hipsters in Chippendale. @ The House Speciality Coffee http://t.co/z5DXixunYZ


    @RoseRed_Shoes I was told about these. I am very, very glad they are over there and I am over here.


    @drkknits OMG, I JUST HAD A THOUGHT. DUDE. NYMERIA. NYMERIA!


    @redambition You should. Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay! (It’s ridiculous. Austin Powers mocks this one mercilessly.)


    Laying out my clothes and working out transport for my first day at CommBank tomorrow. Nervous like it’s the first day of school!


    @Helen__H Yep, accepted a Technical Business Analyst role at CBA!


    @Helen__H Ahahaha, I can’t. My IIBA study group is that night. GAHHHH.


    RT @CommBank: @web_goddess Hi Kris, there’s no need to be nervous, we’re glad to have you on board. Goodluck on your first day!


    The Adoration of the Petey Cat. Sometimes he loves me… http://t.co/mZmtmmmeJn


    @witty_knitter Lucky for you, the guild site accepts “Dr.” as a title (thanks to the whinging of @drkknits). Congrats!


    @redambition There was all this weird crap where Dahl claimed to be a spy like Fleming but nobody can prove any of it. I think it’s more…


    @redambition … that he liked fine dining and alcohol and beautiful women, and script doctoring for Hollywood let him indulge that. πŸ™‚


    @pinkcatknits Welcome aboard. Which branch will you attend?


    @drkknits @knitabulous Until you mind-meld with her and thus she will be your Nymeria. #warg #puppy


    @pinkcatknits Ah, then you’ve picked the best one! And if you come this weekend, you’ll even get my treats for morning tea. πŸ™‚


    @ozdj No. Because my friend @mrs_sockvictim told me what I’m wearing on my first day, and it’s a skirt.


    @brittanieshey I like Cover Stories. Hook it up to your Twitter and FB and it’ll pull in all the links people share.


    @pinkcatknits Oh, you can come to 2 meetings as a non-member. We’re not huge sticklers. And a lot of the Exec come to IC anyway!


    @brittanieshey @shadowbottle Oh, I don’t use it much for RSS reading. I did have it hooked to GReader, and it pulled in my folders.


    @brittanieshey @shadowbottle Ah. Yeah, I’d say its probably not what you want. I’m using @TheOldReader and liking it so far!


    Managed about 6hrs sleep, which is good considering I’m such a worrier. Getting dressed. Thanks for all the well-wishes!


    @misswired Haha, usually but not today! Got good tips on nearby cafes.


    So far I’ve learned: Walk on the OTHER side of Lawson St. The trains aren’t crowded going west. And $8.80 return – WTF?! #onmyway


    Photo of my first day outfit as styled by @mrs_sockvictim. TOTES PROFESH. http://t.co/LLcwVt807b


    I should note that I have proper lady shoes in my bag. πŸ™‚


    Tried it with the jacket too, but I think it’s still too warm. Left it at home. http://t.co/ggaypYo0F0


    @mrs_sockvictim That’s exactly what I did! Woo! I have passed the first WWMFD test. πŸ™‚


    @randomknits Jesus. I’ve been very spoiled with my commute the last 4 years, it seems.


    @knitdra @randomknits Yep, slightly better. Free Shuttle would be best though!


    Waiting in the lobby. Hmm. Some of these people do not look very corporate.

    @codepo8 ZOMG SO CUTE WANT ONE.


    @pyko Possibly, depending on the other options. However, IIRC my friend @randomknits was stranded by them a few years ago.


    FFFFUUUUU. Totally forgot about Show pickup. Anybody there??


    OMG. We made it. 15min late, but still able to collect. GOOD GRIEF.


    @aunty_toots @RoseRed_Shoes They closed at 4. We got there at 4:15 and thankfully they let us in! Phew.


    So that was exciting. Sudden crazyfast trip to Olympic Park complete. And hey, I got to see my new office for Monday!


    @drkknits *drool* But I’m back in ketosis and hoping to stay that way… πŸ™


    John Birmingham just successfully shamed me into buying Game of Thrones on iTunes. http://t.co/jp4ZFRxfVw


    @SMinney Yeah, I hadn’t realised it was available on iTunes. $3 an episode seems like a fair price to me.


    @SMinney Of course, we don’t have Apple TV so may continue to download anyway since we can play that more easily. At least now no guilt. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits @randomknits We may still download. Paying just means I won’t feel guilty. πŸ™‚ (ITunes DRM can be stripped. Google FairPlay.)


    Decided I needed a talisman for New Job Success. Love this stuff. http://t.co/zMMO2zmOF7


    No, this is *not* my boyfriend’s computer. http://t.co/cAEhfj8n84 LOVE IT.


    @mintie I found the site, but I don’t see it available anymore. πŸ™ http://t.co/2ye6LUhuHV


    @drkknits @mintie I figured. It’s cool. I’m braindead too; realised when I got home that I had a tube of it stashed away already. DOH.


    @neil_killick I was born in March. March sucks in the US, and it sucks here. I like summer and winter both equally. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits I honestly forgot that it existed. Was going to chemist for Zyrtec when I thought of getting. Was paying when I realised I had it.


    @eobeara I can’t justify paying $75-100 a month for cable when there are only 1-2 shows on it I want to see.


    @eobeara Australian free TV is pretty good. BBT is on it several times a week. πŸ™‚


    @eileenDCoE Pics or it didn’t happen.


    @drkknits @knitdra HERMIONE WINS. Check out my sleep graph from last night. I was basically DEAD. http://t.co/A2FMsvr9JY


    @drkknits @knitdra That said, on a normal night I usually wake up 10+ times. No idea why I was in a coma last night.


    @drkknits @knitdra No, no, I simply stuck it to the bulletin board in my office with ALL THE OTHER RIBBONS. πŸ˜›


    @drkknits @knitdra *snort* My days as a professional (or volunteer, for that matter) knitting ANYTHING are coming to an end, you’ll see.


    @drkknits @lemon_lime @knitdra Nope. No booze, no drugs other than antibiotics.


    @drkknits @knitdra Possibly. It’s on my wrist though, so I likely would’ve noticed. πŸ™‚


    RT @mpesce: Speaking of #GoT, this just in from @bruces http://t.co/kXsm0e8GwM // Brilliant! cc @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim


    @Alacaeriel Yes, got them at 4:15. https://t.co/sj927fBWCQ

    Coles price their cauliflower by the each. Haha, suckers! #biggerthanmyhead http://t.co/iNSPyKMJyN


    @drkknits And now you are truly the Mother of Dragon Puppies.


    @drkknits Damn. According to A Wiki of Ice and Fire, they’re all boys.


    @drkknits Oh wait. Maester Aemon says dragons have no fixed gender. They can change back and forth.


    @drkknits I quite like “Meraxes”, which was flown by one of Aegon’s sisters. Arya mentions it on the show.


    @randomknits Goddamnit Donna every time you talk about a parma I want one too!


    @drkknits @3DogsBums She shall be the Puppy that Will Mount the World! Actually wait, that’s not good.


    @drkknits ZOMG. She looks like Petey Cat, but as a puppy!


    @drkknits Well, Petey is actually “P.D.” for Professor Death. Can you think of a “P.D.” name for her?


    @pyko Flew them to Alice Springs a few years back. Didn’t die. πŸ™‚


    @pyko Pro tip: pre-pay luggage fees. Friend didn’t and got slugged when she tried to pay at airport.


    @TrinityMartinez @imdominating Just remember: Logan the psychotic jackass is mine.


    @drkknits Flea/heart worm meds?


    @drkknits I order Revolution for the cats from Pets Megastore. Best price I’ve found: http://t.co/TQd3lwIqoY

    @The_Ausmerican Agreed. The big visible zipper is up there with peplums as my most hated fashion trend of 2013 thus far.


    Got antibiotics, took them, and slept on the couch for two hours. Productive day.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Or even a Georgina Sparks, maybe? πŸ™‚


    Holy hell. Just bought a pattern for a beaded shawl. You’re all quilting, so my brain has decided to be perverse, it seems.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @miss_reecie Celestarium: http://t.co/ganYbHrH97. Except I’m debating redoing it to be from Southern Hemisphere star chart.


    @Helen__H I love it, personally.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes I’d shag Jamie in a heartbeat. Now Lancel, on the other hand… *shudder*


    @drkknits But really, I want to be Margaery. I’d be Renly’s beard any day!

    It feels like time for a big change. Red? Red. (@ Travis George Hair Lounge) [pic]: http://t.co/NOFmDlFHuM


    @RoseRed_Shoes Ha! Knew you’d say that. It’s going to be a more grown-up red. πŸ™‚

    Sent photo to @the_snook. He replied: “Thought I had a message from the Prime Minister there!” HAR HAR.


    @handmethepanda Hahahahahaha…


    @drkknits The hipster filter makes it look little more fire engine that it really is. It’s more on the auburn side of the spectrum, really.


    If the point of yarnbombing is that it’s “unexpected,” how about the fact that I now ALWAYS expect it wrapped around dirty light poles?

    One problem: I always seem to stretch out bias binding when I apply it. Anybody know tips to avoid that?


    @zephyrama Foot?! I was just pinning.


    @zephyrama Wow! Never seen one before. I use Clover device to make it, but didn’t know about foot to apply it!


    @zephyrama Janome from like 2002.


    @mrs_sockvictim I’m ridiculously sore too. Can’t move!


    If Game of Thrones happened on Facebook: http://t.co/l5bHEMNIWK (for @mrs_sockvictim @drkknits @kunaal84)


    @henrytapia You didn’t watch it? Figure every fan in AU either has Foxtel or downloaded already (or read the books). πŸ™‚


    @henrytapia Then don’t click on obvious Game of Throne links for the next several weeks!


    @henrytapia I don’t believe in spoiler alerts for shows based on 13-year-old books. πŸ™‚


    @henrytapia If you think a clearly labelled Game of Thrones link counts as a spoiler, you are a sensitive snowflake. It wasn’t “SANSA DIES”!


    @henrytapia Which is not accurate and therefore not a spoiler, so don’t hyperventilate.


    @henrytapia And in all seriousness, without wanting to be spoilery, don’t click any links about season 3 at all.


    @henrytapia If you truly are unspoiled about what’s in store, that’s great. Try to remain that way. But don’t expect people to make it easy!

    @knitdra Do you have to book in? I am blessed with caterpillar eyebrows, so interested to see what they’d look like professionally done!


    Argh. Just realised I can’t go to the next @GGDSydney meetup next week due to BA study group. Poo.


    @blakkat @stamf CONGRATULATIONS!!


    @testchick I know! But for some reason EVERYTHING happening next week. New job starts, study group, Scrum AU conference, physio appt, CRAZY!


    Holy crap. Just got a cheque for $100 from RAS. Didn’t realise my vest won two cash prizes!!


    @witty_knitter @RoseRed_Shoes Thanks! I was honestly expecting like $15!


    Huh. The @ColettePatterns Laurel has a fair bit of ease! Should have made a smaller size. http://t.co/skxzRr3fdV


    @drkknits Thanks! I also lengthened it 2in, but I don’t think I needed it. Will probably hem to a more hoochie length!


    We got a card in the mail from @drkknits! But she sent us a Chicago picture instead of New York… http://t.co/RNGiC8hIxU


    I took in the side seams to get rid of an inch of ease. Much better! I’m loving princess seams on the back. http://t.co/JRyYN3Uzuo

    @RoseRed_Shoes Yep, the Tuesday night conflicts with my study group. Yay! BASKET WEAVING BUDDIES.


    RT @brown_note: Excited to be going to #ScrumAustralia next week.


    @knitabulous @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits @drkknits @knitdra They have a separate class for macrame. But not owls, sadly.


    @ColettePatterns Thanks! I went back and took in the side seams to remove about an inch of ease, and it’s much better. Will finish it today!


    @clepetit Except I’ve just caught one too! Yesterday was extremely sedentary. πŸ™


    I think I’m sick. But I promised @mrs_sockvictim I’d help her shift pavers this morning. Time to drug up… (And its RAINING!)


    @aimee_maree Sassy was a very influential girls’ magazine in the 90’s. All the smart US women of my age read it. Definitely a female word.


    Paleo exercise is lifting heavy things. We did that today. In the rain. http://t.co/LN0cz6bn1i


    My arms are rubber. Can hardly hold up the iPhone to tweet!


    225 pavers shifted with @the_snook. 164 put in van and then out of van with @mrs_sockvictim. Very tired and wet and dirty!


    RT @dr_nic: Proud to see Sydney keeping up its tradition of acting like it’s never even heard of rain, much less ever experienced it before.

    Dreamt I was starting new job at Calico & Ivy with @randomknits as my boss. I was late and had no idea what I was doing!


    Thinking of perhaps scheduling a makeup/over session somewhere in the city to learn what to do for new corporate job. Any suggestions?


    @RoseRed_Shoes I was reminded of @knitdra’s old post about visiting the Benefit brow bar. And that made me think of makeup. Don’t need it?
