I just found out I've made it through to the first round of interviews for a learning developer position. And I've got till Tuesday to put together a portfolio that'll prove I can produce online learning.
I've spent all evening installing Windows and Office on my shiny new Mac laptop. Now I get to spend the weekend redoing one of my online tutorials without all that pesky branding from my previous employer. And this on top of ballet lessons, Mandarin lessons, the buying of a big girl bed (the Sweetie accidentally cracked the railing on the toddler bed Ros was rapidly outgrowing anyway), and play dates.
Crikey!

It's late-ish and I'm nursing a sinus headache as it snows (snows! Hey, this is the South) outdoors and I read ballet lessons, Mandarin and coupled with your user pic I thought "how very Mrs. Peel of you." *g*

Date: 2010-01-30 01:08 pm (UTC)I'll take a look at the BB post ASAP. On top of everything else.
(I should have worked on the damn learning portfolio several weeks ago, but I kept thinking it would be ages before I got an interview that would need one. ::sigh::)
Edited because while Hammond looks as crazy as I feel, he looks a bit too cheerful about it. :-/

Weird thing is she never slept with blankets or a pillow before in the crib. Wouldn't keep the blanket on. As soon as she transitioned to the bed she always had to be covered up with a blanket.
Good luck.

Date: 2010-01-30 08:11 pm (UTC)I'll take the Mrs. Peel comparison, though I have to admit that the ballet lessons are strictly for the little girl, not me. The whole family is learning Mandarin, though.

Thanks for the good wishes.
