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

Red for marriage equality. My, but it’s cosy on this bandwagon!
I love all you guys. I don’t see why I should be able to have a godless, childless marriage that took place in Vegas (at the same place where Britney had her 55 hour marriage) that endows us with all the full rights of the government, and other people can’t just by virtue of who they love. That’s just stupid.

In a Room Full of Naked Koreans, Margaret Cho’s Body Is an Unwelcome Sight
In a Room Full of Naked Koreans, Margaret Cho’s Body Is an Unwelcome Sight – Margaret Cho kicks all kinds of ass, and this is a lovely essay. I think it’s wonderful that she’s so proud of her body.

Holy crap. This new PO is from THE FUTURE. (@ Australia Post – @auspost) http://t.co/NfTx0IO9AH
Let Them Eat Fat – http://t.co/2thjU9ocE2 via @WSJ // HEAR HEAR! #paleo cc @drkknits
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. π
A day of frustration and annoyance, mostly due to bias tube appliquΓ© and my suckiness at it. http://t.co/OxfwizddLl
@knitterjp @knitdra Yep. Had to get cert. copy of 100pts of ID, fill out forms, etc.
@pixel8ted I am very annoyed at that pucker in the middle.
@randomknits @gilmae The self-cleaning cycle on our oven gets pretty hot. I’ll turn him to ash and we’ll split the plane fare!
@bezthomas Oh cool! Unfortunately I only got them to work flat, so the way they’ve stuffed them rather buggers it up.
@drkknits You should go to MoMA now and see Tilda sleeping in a box!! http://t.co/kUTgdx7FFC
@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.

Catch-up with friends, and I finally got to meet Mitchell Milbank! Rodd, Nathan, @supfarn, Eva [pic]: http://t.co/dr7iwYtNfb
@randomknits I am wafting it in her general direction as we speak.
RT @randomknits: Good luck today @knitterjp // I second that!
@kev_austin @neil_killick Reminds me of when I worked at knitting shop. Everyone asked: “How many balls of wool to knit a scarf?”
@kev_austin @neil_killick There’s no answer to that question. Tried explaining over and over. Finally just started saying 4. Yes, 4. Always.
@kev_austin @neil_killick Estimation through exasperation. π
