Erunion Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Also, I'm going to be a terrible person and double post - cuz I GOT THE JOB!!!!! The job I interviewed for on Tuesday? They just contacted me and I accepted the position I'm going to be working for 8 months in the R&D department for Stemcell technologies (a Vancouver based Biotech firm; they do standardized growth media and high quality lab equipment). Its a co-op, a full time, paid internship, and part of my degree - in fact the last part of my degree, the last requirement before I graduate!!! So I'm pretty excited (Not as excited as those in the above post, but still. Pretty excited ) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Guess who has a younger sister on the shard I'd like to introduce @Wiggs to ya'll, she joined this afternoon. She's been a sanderfan for a long time and we decided it was time to get her introduced to the shard She's got her intro thread and will probably be popping up in other places when she has time. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Welcome to the Shard, @Wiggs! @Left, you must be the best kind of brother to have introduced your sister to Sanderson and the Shard. =) In other news, bird nesting season is in full swing in Utah! I went out last Monday (Memorial Day--I had the day off of work) and got lots of photos of baby robins, among other things. ^-^ Baby robins in the nest: Spoiler With mom or dad delivering food: 3 babies waiting impatiently for another food delivery: Young robins that had already left the nest: Spoiler Downy Woodpecker nest hole: Spoiler Baby woodpecker (male--you can tell by the red on his head) sticking his head out of the hole and peeping incessantly to be fed. Daddy woodpecker returning to the hole to feed his noisy offspring. Bullock's Oriole nest: Spoiler The female oriole was weaving the nest as I watched. She's actually inside the basket in this photo; you can just barely see her yellow-orange tail sticking out the right side. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Slowswift Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) This is why thrift stores are awesome -- $30, $24 with my employee discount, and it would've been $19 if I'd remembered the coupon in my pocket. It's covered in rust and dust and probably needs a few other repairs, but it's beautiful. Spoiler Edited June 7, 2017 by Slowswift 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Budgie Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 @Slowswift now you can carry out your long-hidden dream. Since childhood, you've dreamed of doing this...and now, you can fulfill your wish. You can be Miss Lemon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 So yesterday I posted in the Bad Day thread about being miserably sick.... I'm happy to report that I seem to be over it. I'm pretty certain I brought yesterday's misery on myself by eating a yogurt that was past its expiration date with my dinner on Monday. Word of advice: don't take risks when it comes to eating or drinking dairy products you're not 100% sure are safe. I paid dearly for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedal Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I got to spend my first day of summer(hooray) cleaning out trash cans and doing inventory, because I got a detention on the last day. Yet, for some reason, I don't feel to mad. It was good to do some real work, and I scavenged some candy from lockers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeldancer Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Ha! The one time I got detention, I got it... for reading in class. Oh the things that I have had happen to me because of reading in class. Books across the room, books confiscated, and detention. Lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shqueeves Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Haven't quite gotten detention for it, but so many of my books have gotten confiscated. Teachers dislike my reading habits 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlion Blight Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I was always allowed to read in my literature class, otherwise I would "spoil" the text during class discussion. Classic example: when discussing Beowulf, the assigned reading only went up to past Grendel's defeat. A co-student critiqued that Beowulf was uninteresting because he was invincible. I responded that that wasn't the case because Beowulf ends up being killed by a dragon. I wasn't allowed to participate in class discussions henceforth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time my science teacher banned me from reading anything but the text book. My response: I'VE ALREADY READ IT 5 TIMES 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
