    @knitdra Hyams Beach at Jervis Bay!


    We found it – the whitest sand beach in the world. @ Hyams Beach http://t.co/PNkEzmbnoE


    You can smell the serenity. @ Hyams Beach http://t.co/4ld5qsO0XG


    @randomknits I ate NO foods on sticks this year. I just wasn’t tempted by any of it!


    RT @the_snook: @web_goddess on the beach. It’s kinda windy here. http://t.co/xraN67lDa4


    We appear to have lost @eileenDCoE and Sophie. The Snook wonders if a shark ate them.

    Women of Twitter: we’re taking a poll. Can you do a cartwheel? Secondary question: how tall are you? #science


    The argument, you see, is whether height makes a difference. @eileenDCoE and I are tall, and we cannot do cartwheels.


    @zephyrama Yes. We think our center of gravity is too high. A Short Person thinks otherwise.


    A Short Person maintains that she can teach @eileenDCoE and me to cartwheel. I maintain that I have the arm strength of a tyrannosaur.


    A secondary hypothesis was that breast size played a role (poss. related to center of gravity). But judging from responses: not a factor.


    @codepo8 They’re big in Sydney too.

    @venks79 Oh fun! I think we’re going to the beach today. Send me a message when you’re here. Would love to see the boys!


    @mathowie Ha. My company built Subaru’s BRZ site for AU last year and I got to drive one before launch around the Rocks. It GROWLS.

    Holy shit. That’s the most I’ve ever spent on clothes in my entire life. #breathe


    All up: 2 bras, 2 jackets, pants, 3 skirts, 4 shirts, belt, scarf, handbag, and shoes. ZOMG. @mrs_sockvictim is A DRUG PUSHER.


    Sales lady at Sportscraft said I looked like I was going to pass out. @mrs_sockvictim was euphoric.

    I am fairly certain that @Kat13v just rang me from the future with some warning for herself. Can’t be sure. It’s all wibbly-wobbly.


    @Kat13v Oh crap! It might have been? Did you have my home number stored in it? Check your email; I sent you details.


    @Kat13v I’m reading the phone manual trying to figure out if I can work out caller’s number. It’s not stored. Maybe no caller ID on it.


    @wheelyweb Well, I did sign up for the service. I just don’t get why they can’t label it properly. Confused the hell out of me.


    Not only do I have to wait in massive queue at B’way @auspost, a Vodafone spruiker has set up camp. Who allowed this? http://t.co/2pT9F0LhjD


    Trying on grown-up clothes. Any styling ideas, fashion mavens? http://t.co/jbeWFU9KTb


    @pixel8ted I had to go up a size in red to fit the hips. I think I can take in the top to be less baggy. Love the colour.


    @pixel8ted YOU ARE HARSHING MY SHOPPING BUZZ.


    CBA contract officially signed. Woohoo! Looking forward to my first day at @CommBank on April 8th. πŸ™‚


    God shopping depresses me. Do ponchos count as corporate wear?


    @RoseRed_Shoes Yes, I think the red will have to go back. I might need to put up the bat signal to @mrs_sockvictim to help me shop.


    @witty_knitter @knitdra @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim Oh! Okay. Somebody said it looked like a bin liner, which was crushing.


    @witty_knitter @knitdra @RoseRed_Shoes Maybe I’ll hang onto it and get @mrs_sockvictim’s opinion as my stylist…


    Had to give presentation at #IIBA study group tonight with partner Kerry. We rocked it! Very well received. πŸ™‚


    @mrs_sockvictim @RoseRed_Shoes @witty_knitter @knitdra Well, the Snook likes it! So I’m keeping it. πŸ™‚


    @witty_knitter @mrs_sockvictim @RoseRed_Shoes @knitdra Just those dresses. I was too depressed afterwards to get anything else.


    I don’t see why our godless, childless marriage that took place in Vegas endows us with full gov rights, & others can’t marry who they love.


    @drkknits @imdominating Americans always think that. Aussies always laugh. I AM AN LINGUISTIC ISLAND UNTO MYSELF.


    @witty_knitter I’ve just seen one on Facebook. Claim is that is barged through picket line and nearly injured picketer.


    @witty_knitter That was on Carillon though.


    @messicat Interestingly, I don’t think my accent moved much til I went to work at TC. Talking to customers made a noticeable change (to me).


    I think I’m growing up. I seem to have learned the ability to hold off before sending emails that I might regret.


    Time for fun things. Must dig out all my “corporate” clothes so my stylist @mrs_sockvictim can make a shopping plan.

    Turns out that corporate finance doesn’t like to employ criminals, and you have to jump through some serious hoops to prove you aren’t one!


    @nolim1t They don’t seem to mind if you sold dodgy premium SMS services to dumb teenagers, so I think I’m okay. πŸ™‚


    A day of frustration and annoyance, mostly due to bias tube appliquΓ© and my suckiness at it. http://t.co/OxfwizddLl

    @pixel8ted I am very annoyed at that pucker in the middle.

    @drkknits Hahahaha. We’re always 12 hours behind the big apple…


    It’s not every day you get to use the phrase “nipple-related shenanigans” in an email. (The context was not as fun as you imagine.)


    @Gidgetknits @drkknits She’s in complete quilter denial. But it’s cool, because I think I’m totes over quilts.


    @wheelyweb Ha! I myself have been similarly confused by Spotify charges at least twice.

    @kev_austin @neil_killick Reminds me of when I worked at knitting shop. Everyone asked: “How many balls of wool to knit a scarf?”

    @henrytapia Not that I know of. I prefer to read on desktop/laptop mostly. Use Flipboard on iPhone/iPad.


    @henrytapia Oh yeah. I use desktop to go through my feeds. I use Flipboard when I’m bored in a queue.

    @handmethepanda Nope. Just small digital agencies.


    @handmethepanda I’m aware. I think it would be worth it for the training and experience though. CBA seem to be fantastic for BA’s.

    What a day. I have officially accepted a role as Technical Business Analyst for Commonwealth Bank, starting in two weeks. Let’s celebrate!

    @RoseRed_Shoes @knitdra Can’t quite believe it either. And wait til you hear about the interview. It was hilarious.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @knitdra Honestly, all my best interviews have been the ones where I honestly didn’t care how it went!


    So my December 2008 record of 48 hours from layoff to job acceptance still stands as the quickest turnaround. Remember that, @venks79? πŸ™‚
