@catehstn Have a great trip!
@trevoryoung @Yvonne_Adele I switched to web version, which they’re keeping for now. I actually like it!

@henrytapia They’ve said they’re going to offer paid accounts. I’m holding out for that.
@henrytapia My feeds are in, and I like the functionality. Does exactly what I want it to! Sharing just like the old days.
@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.
@henrytapia I’ll admit to a small amount of anti-Google spite there too. Use the one that agrees with me how they screwed it up.
Coca-Cola Brownies: so wrong and so right at the same time. http://t.co/57Da7isQBS
@katejf http://t.co/VcP09e4qE0 – trying it out for the first time, so who knows. Maybe it’ll suck!
@mmastertheone http://t.co/VcP09e4qE0 Trying it for the first time – so far they look good!
@ozdj Are you at work on a Saturday?!
@stufromoz @DDsD In Chippendale it lasted just long enough for me to scream & run like a maniac out to the clothesline to rescue my clothes.
@DDsD @stufromoz Screw it. They were mostly dry. 10 minutes in the tumble dryer will finish.
@DDsD @stufromoz Sometimes I’m an unrepentant middle-class capitalist pig.
@aimee_maree Thank you! Not sure about working in big corporate finance, but I’ll give anything a shot once. 🙂
@supercres Yep. Interesting. Not what I expected. Maybe I didn’t use enough cocoa…
@misswired Woo! Were they looking for them? Or just random?
Earth Hour in Darling Harbour is… not so much. At least Centrepoint is dark! @ Darling Harbour http://t.co/Kz1lHjsiKM
@randomknits I need a pattern for that dress. For me. Now. 🙂
Just woke up. *yawn* That was nice.

@catehstn I’m coming over to your office for lunch today – yay! Maybe I’ll spot you. 🙂
View from the balcony at the Google lunchroom. Wow. http://t.co/1jmM2AIvJQ

@lemon_lime @venks79 Tweetdeck has selective muting of hashtags, users, etc.
@venks79 @lemon_lime They’re killing off desktop version. I’ve switched to the web version and found I really like it! (Twitter owns it.)

@venks79 Hm. I know a lot of people who put salt on their watermelon. I think it might work. (Personally I don’t really like either.)
Supposedly attending a MeFi Meetup, but haven’t spotted anyone yet! (@ Courthouse Hotel) http://t.co/MNOrKZpAtO
Apparently “look for the guy with the mustache” is not an efficient way to locate your party in a Newtown pub.

@heathergracious WAIT – I just left. We’re you there??
@heathergracious Oh good grief. So I missed you! I was in the red shirt opposite Mrs Bez; left 10min ago!

New Job
Well, that didn’t take long, did it? Exactly two weeks after being made redundant, I have accepted an offer for the role of Technical Business Analyst at Commonwealth Bank. Thank you to everyone who offered job leads and referrals to me. I had several interviews and actually more than one job offer, so it was all very much appreciated and useful. I think CBA is going to be great. It’s my first big corporate job, and I’m sure there’s going to be some culture shock. (Their new offices in Darling Harbour look amazing though – seriously, up there with Google!) I know other BA’s that work there, and the training and support they offer seems incredible. This is going to be great for my career, I think. (And a nice fat raise doesn’t hurt either!)
Anyway, I start in two weeks so that’s another fortnight of being a Lady of Leisure. I think I can manage that!
And that dream job possibility I mentioned before? It’s still there on the backburner. Could be a few months. A girl’s gotta have a dream…
