    Job opportunity: Account Director at Sitback Solutions – Sydney Area, Australia #jobs http://t.co/ug2bEChb


    @gilmae Yeah, but the article is about a company that identifies and helps autistic people find jobs suited for them. It’s fascinating.


    Post work drinks! (@ Mercantile Tavern) http://t.co/n41jHszN


    @drkknits I’m 5min away!


    @drkknits Yes, @smark31 will be missed tomorrow. I think perhaps an afternoon visit is in order…


    @TimBags Hahahahaha… #letterpress


    Crap. I suspect I just lost that #letterpress game.


    I am perpetually undone by my need to make funny, rude words #letterpress


    Academic nerdery happening at the Bowlo between @drkknits and @lemon_lime. I’m playing with my phone in the corner like a child.


    @PortugueseChook London? Wait, I thought you were back from there? Or have you moved there and I missed it?!


    @venks79 Haha, nice. Don’t you have a spare??

    Have to cancel ticket to @yow_oz. Disappointed.


    @yow_oz @knitterjp Boo to the client who scheduled a big important meeting that day that can’t be moved. πŸ™


    @yow_oz I emailed organiser yesterday to cancel my ticket but haven’t heard back yet. Can you help? Want to make sure another GGD can use it


    @Lisa_Cumes Thank you very much! Will let the lovely folks at @GGDSydney know…


    @yow_oz It’s okay, @Lisa_Cumes sorted it out for me! Thanks…


    This traffic is KILLING ME, BUSTER. I just want to get to @TheDuckInnPub for a beer with the MetaFilter folks!


    I just ousted @suzidafnis as the mayor of The Duck Inn Pub & Kitchen on @foursquare! http://t.co/fD7yyl0u

    I continue to be freaked out by how much the lovely host at @TheDuckInnPub looks EXACTLY like @lemon_lime.


    The Autism Advantage http://t.co/cvL6tlst // Fascinating. Autistic people make good software testers. Pretty much knew that, but good read.

    @MysteryTackleBx Trying to order two subscriptions for family in US, but it won’t let me order since I live in Australia. πŸ™


    Really annoyed by sites that won’t let me purchase outside the U.S. I’m not trying to buy super spy stuff – just FISHING LURES. #parochial


    @heathergracious It’s not that; I have family in the US who can send to me. I’m trying to buy something to be sent to THEM and I can’t. πŸ™


    @heathergracious Exactly!


    @MysteryTackleBx That would be fantastic. I get that you can’t ship here, that’s fine. Just want to give you some $$! πŸ™‚


    @MysteryTackleBx Thanks! Emailed you.


    Hey @randomknits: WE *clap* ARE NEVER EVER EVER *clap* GETTING BACK TOGETHER… #sharingtheawesome


    @drkknits @randomknits Bwahahahaha. Like Bieber is punishment to ME? I’M CUEING THAT SHIT UP ON SPOTIFY RIGHT NOW.


    @drkknits @randomknits Ugh. I’m totes over Gangnam. You win.


    @randomknits @drkknits I’ve never watched the video! Yay! More Taylor!


    @randomknits @drkknits I need those pajamas. Now.


    @randomknits @drkknits I like Speak Now too. “In a gown shaped like a pastry…”


    @imdominating Sweeeeet. What’s TolkienSleepover? But yeah, book it in! 30th would be PERFECTO.


    @drkknits @randomknits Taylor Swift is making me want to cut my fringe again.


    @randomknits It’s actually been stuck in my head all afternoon too. Rather shot myself in the foot there.


    I am getting CRUSHED at Letterpress by @TimBags. It’s embarrassing.


    In London I developed the habit of drinking G&Ts the size of my head. At least I buy better gin now. http://t.co/IgEpEa48


    @TimBags I decided to put myself out of misery. Well played. πŸ™‚


    @TimBags Also, I started off the rematch in style.


    @KTunravels Nothing fancy here, just Gordon’s!


    @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp @drkknits Ooh! I like that pattern a LOT!


    @randomknits Rodd is telling me about the ARIAs red carpet at Ent. Centre. He might try to get us a photo of TAYLOR SWIFT on his way home.


    @randomknits “This time, I’m telling you I’m telling you we are never….”

    We had a photoshoot at work today. I’m getting better at this. #retro #glam http://t.co/NtgGATmJ


    @sthcrft Used to get lots of them at knitting shop. Lots of small biz outsource IT stuff and get tricked into paying!


    @sthcrft The last one I got was like $75 to renew, which is way high. They must get enough suckers to justify it!


    @sthcrft Snail mail seems way more “official” in my experience dealing with non-technical users. I bet uptake is higher than email.


    @Helen__H Ooh. How do I get an email voucher??


    @Helen__H Did you go to the CBD Lincraft? Wondering if they’re running out of stock…


    @Helen__H I’ll have to go after work and take my chances! Needed some quilt batting anyway…


    Well played, @the_snook. Well played. #letterpress http://t.co/8bddZSx5


    Heading to Lincrap to try to buy a dressmakers model. I think I shall name her Bernice.


    I got her! Taking Bernice home on. The bus. Thanks to @Helen__H for hooking me up with Super Sekrit Discount. πŸ™‚ http://t.co/RlsVaB7u


    @stufromoz Nope, a Janome. Bernice just popped into my head.


    @redambition Got it! Very excited. No more relying on Snook to pin things out on me. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits @randomknits Yep. One day sale, baby! Gotta get in there.


    @redambition Can you get to Lincraft by 7? They’re $99 today with email voucher…


    @knitterjp @redambition @aunty_toots @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits With email voucher, it was $99! But just for today. You’ve got 20min left!


    @knitterjp @redambition @aunty_toots @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits @drkknits @randomknits They’ve also got JP’s fancy thread box for $29.


    @redambition It’s this foldout carrier-thing that holds a lot of threads and notions. Makes you look like a Super Spy Tailor.


    Finished my Christmas pressie for the Knitters Tea on Saturday. Spoiler: it’s quilted. #sewvember http://t.co/Tc8Thm1z


    @randomknits Downsized pattern too much – I can’t actually get my hand inside it. Ha!


    @randomknits I can still put some goodies in it, I reckon. πŸ™‚


    @Helen__H Plenty of smalls, but only a couple mediums!

    @SandraHW @drkknits Another knitter has caught the sewing bug! πŸ™‚


    @pixel8ted El Cuervo is apparently closed today, so Mexican is cancelled!

    @randomknits HELLOOOOOO KITTTTTTYYYYYY!


    @mysterytacklebx You’re putting up gift options soon, right? I’ve got family in the US who’d love this. Will I be able to order from AUS?


    Project for Knitters Xmas Tea secret Santa coming along nicely… #sewvember http://t.co/UVos7O1S


    @knitterjp @knitdra @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim Ha! I was also browsing MS yest to find ideas for Xmas tea project. πŸ™‚


    Two 9am meetings, and I’m still sitting in a bus on George St. Sydney traffic is broken.


    @randomknits The significance of that one is lost on me.

    Sewing machine, laptop with dodgy Internet stream, LET’S DO THIS. GO IRISH!! http://t.co/e3Y7G0XP


    @crumpet You have a 10yo Janome too?


    @crumpet TOTES TWINS! I have never met anyone with our machine before. It barely exists on the Internet.


    @crumpet Mine just got her first service recently. Bad sewing machine Mommy..,


    @drkknits @knitdra @randomknits I ate! Im only minorly addicted!


    In between shouting at the ND game and stuffing my face with pie, I managed to make an Owl Skirt! #sewvember http://t.co/nhGf3zeF


    @gilmae No worries!


    @gilmae I think so? I’ve never made one though.


    @catehstn Come on, we had a whole conversation 2 weeks ago that wasn’t about boys! Granted, you left for a booty call… πŸ™‚


    @mpesce I noticed that too. Reads more like a wanky blog post than an article in a major newspaper.

    Negroni body complete! Collar & facings attached, yokes joined. Check out that collar loop! #sewvember http://t.co/zyqnEEK9


    The good news is I figured out how flat felled seams work. The bad news is I did them inside out.


    @3rd_Gen_ I considered it, but it turns out I also sewed the sleeve on the wrong side of the body. Ripped.


    Negroni has sleeves! Sleeves and flat felled seams! This is SO FUN. http://t.co/uTuo37yE


    @drkknits Iron on interfacing? Meters and meters. How much you need?


    @drkknits I also have some that’s thicker and some that’s thinner. I mean, in terms if stiffness.


    Negroni is finished (except for buttons). I made a man’s shirt, and it fits the Snook! #sewvember http://t.co/qpkKpjE7


    @mrs_sockvictim Just throw them on the floor and walk by really fast?


    @sprongify Love that print!

    @imdominating Wooo! Wishing I was there. Hey, any place in Chicago showing The Hobbit in the 48fps high def? On say, the 30th? πŸ™‚


    @drkknits Oh FFS. @lemon_lime, can you add Dr for the precious phd? πŸ˜›


    @drkknits And your member number is probably on the IC membership list…


    @3rd_Gen_ Ooh, funky print! Nice job.


    @randomknits I would say “TOTES RANDOM.” πŸ˜›


    @randomknits That’s where I first met the Sock Victim! I think it was crowded, eh, @mrs_sockvictim?


    Gave my GGD talk again tonight at work, then spent way too long at the pub celebrating. Self: you are not 25 anymore.


    @mrs_sockvictim @randomknits What the what? Seriously? Because I know nothing about that. πŸ˜›


    @mrs_sockvictim Btw – planning on Eveleigh Markets tomorrow around 8-8:30ish. You?


    @pixel8ted Huzzah!


    @AusVintageGrrl Congrats to you and @thisismywww!

    Went to markets, took cat to vet… Now I’m pooped and it isn’t even 10am.

    @3rd_Gen_ What? What’s wrong with how we say cauliflower? I don’t think I say it any different from the Aussies?


    @3rd_Gen_ Ahh, in my head that sounds a bit more southern. Where was the person from? I’m Midwestern, and I say “collifflower”


    Attention @drkknits and @mrs_sockvictim – some very cool art on @TempleWebster today from Inaluxe – including birds and cats and OWLS!


    @marcooda Interesting – thanks for that! I get overwhelmed by the choice though. I like that T&W seems to curate a smaller list.

    @drkknits Well, since I’m TOTES BOOKED UP this weekend, how about before/after the High Tea next weekend?


    @lemon_lime @drkknits DO YOU WANT TO WATCH TWILIGHT WITH US, JOSH?!


    @drkknits We could meet @lemon_lime after work on 30th, then go to movie, then you crash at my place!


    @zephyrama Pics or it didn’t happen.


    @drkknits @lemon_lime It’s ON like DONKEY KONG.


    @bookchellef They are mostly disappointing. Ours was somehow less than the sum of its parts.


    @bookchellef Actually, Serious Eats undertook the task of making an actually good one recently: http://t.co/C5nX4zCV. Involves sous vide!


    Don’t be passive-aggressive. Don’t be passive-aggressive. Don’t be passive-aggressive.


    @ericscheid Snarky retorts aren’t helping my willpower when I’m trying to take the high moral ground, mister! πŸ™‚


    Seeing the sports physician about my knee. Again. (@ The Sports Clinic) http://t.co/Z9YLvJ1t


    I am quite literally ready to explode. (Doc stuck a nitroglycerin patch on my knee.)


    @witty_knitter Supposed to promote blood flow. There’s some research that says it might help with tendinitis. We’re clutching at straws. πŸ™


    @brown_note Currently or historically? Helping slaves escape on the Underground Railroad comes to mind.

    @drkknits Is that tie-dye I see before me?


    @drkknits I’ve been taping mine to the sliding door and doing them that way!


    @imdominating If it wasn’t just Rodd and me, I’d so be tempted to make one.


    RT @GGDSydney: Grats goes to @rowdyrabbit and @web_goddess our comp winners! We hope you have a great time at #yow2012 courtesy of @yow_oz!


    @drkknits You are making me so jealous. Why am I stuck at work when I could be sewing? GAHHH.


    @knitterjp @smithcdau Brilliant. Would love to meet him if we cross paths. I’m looking forward to the morning’s agile topics!


    @knitterjp @drkknits Hitting it with the iron was the funnest part of the Washi Dress. Magically started pulling WAY in!


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Also for loaning to other people! *cough cough*


    Every other bus driver takes 45 min to get through CBD. This guy is flying through in under 20. I think I love you, Mr Bus Driver.


    @goshling I hope so. He was challenging the very laws of the universe.


    @goshling Meetup? Quite possibly. Where/when?


    @goshling Oh right. That’s what I get for only reading MeFi through Flipboard these days…


    @goshling Commented, and suggested a venue! Slightly self serving in that it’s 3 blocks from my house, but it’s also legitimately nice. πŸ™‚

    @goshling Ah, yeah, Manly’s a pain. What are you guys doing, work? I work in the Rocks so if you’re nearby could meet for lunch.


    @toastman I just hate the train. Ideally I’d ride my bike, but my knee’s still screwed.

    @drkknits Hoochie. (That’s my new “You’re terrible, Muriel” JUST FOR YOU.)


    @drkknits Oh, I’m not claiming moral high ground here. Just being silly. πŸ™‚


    @mrs_sockvictim @drkknits I am taking a new attitude towards leggings: I don’t understand it, and I won’t acknowledge it. #lucille


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim *wink*


    Not Acknowledging all over the damn place. What I am acknowledging is the excellent pumpkin bread I baked for the office. Nomnomnom…
