Jesus, that's almost as bad as that Gwyneth Paltrow movie where the guy gives up his seat on a plane, other guy dies, and he falls in love with dead guy's widow.

I'm rather terrible at lying. 
|
|
|
16:17:38
|
|
|
I think I'd rather be a sniper.
|

Espionage isn't my thing.
|
|
|
16:07:09

They have so much red tape they'd never get rid of me.
|

16:06:31

Or I could just move to one of the other EU states.

Isn't there that American guy in Hong Kong at the minute?
|
|
|
15:59:15
|
|
|
I think we're all legal anyway.
|
|
|
15:58:11

|

No, I was laughing at the slut-grandma part.

Think NCIS has made me biased towards the navy.
|
|
|
15:33:35
|
|
|
Seriously though, my cousin gets paid pretty damn well considering she's in uni, for whatever she does...
|
|
|
15:32:36
|
|
|
I'm just not a fan of pathology, or microbiology either.
|
|
|
15:31:15
|
|
|
My cousin's in the OTC, and gave me the idea of maybe going to work for the armed forces. Though upon investigation, they really mostly want pharmacists, doctors, nurses, and people who do pathology stuff, not my cup of tea.

Thank God for the UK and their easily-abused university loan system.

Didn't she want to take some jewellery making course at TAFE or something?
|
|
|
15:14:30
|
|
|
I think we both know that feeling, so it's great to be able to help someone else out.
|
|
|
15:04:36
|
|
|
Well, I will when Facebook lets me.
|
|
|
15:04:24
|
|
|
I'll send you my friend's one as well, though his is more kiss-assery than usual because he was applying to this big-multinational corporation, but I think he still managed to get an interview for it...

Try and sort of pick out key words and phrases from the ad and show that you know how to do those things/have those qualities, since it shows you actually read the thing, you know?
|

I sent them over Facebook. <3
|
|
|
14:48:19
|
|
|
If you want, I can send you my CV and covering letter, see if it'll give you any ideas?
|
|
|
14:47:11
|
|
|
I also had a good paragraph of my cover letter talking about building computers and using it as an example that I can motivate myself to learn stuff independently.
|
|
|
14:46:07

Talk about anything you did in high school, drama, languages, etc.
|
|
|
14:43:02
|
|
|
What are you trying to apply for?
|
|
|
14:42:36
|
|
|
It's really a lot of not so subtle ass-kissing and trying to make your achievements sound as impressive as possible.
|
|
|
14:40:03
|
|
|
Cover letters are the worst.
|

I lost it at the last one.
|
|
|
16:18:31
|
|
|
I'd appreciate that, Claire.

Apparently my grandparents are trying to sell their house and move permanently back to HK, and however many of my aunts are coming over to help and do their shit, I don't know.
|
|
|
16:17:00
|
|
|
Unfortunately, events seem to be conspiring against me.
|
|
|
16:14:21
|
|
|
So, plan is: Tell them. Ask them if they still want to see me. Make arrangements accordingly.
|
|
|
16:12:37
|
|
|
Also, I figure it'd be a dick move of me to bring Alex home with me for the summer and not at least tell my parents we're together.
|
|
|
16:10:35
|
|
|
Well, my grandma is still going strong at 60-odd.
|
|
|
16:07:31
|
|
|
But I figure I've gotta do it sometime.
|
|
|

Or she does let you charge something, but everything she does tells you she's pissed.
|
|
|
16:03:55
|
|
|
"Mum, can I charge my phone for a -" "NO. I need to charge mine, it's at [number above 50]%!"
|
|
|
16:02:26
|
|
|
Yeah, but I assume you know how my mother is...
|
|
|
15:55:53
|
|
|
And she's willing to pay the data roaming charge for that.
|
|
|
15:55:11
|
|
No, she doesn't want the phone for calls, she's just constantly checking into places on Facebook and whatnot.

WE'RE DRIVING ALONG THE COASTAL COUNTRYSIDE OF IRELAND, YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET A BLOODY 3G CONNECTION.
|

15:51:09

She'd hog the car adapter for the entire trip down to Galway, and get pissy if god forbid you wanted to charge something for 30 minutes.
|
|
|
15:48:52

|

A portable battery that can charge her goddamn iPhone multiple times.
|

I've found the perfect future present for my mother.

My cousin visited yesterday, we got her addicted to XCOM.

Resisting the urge to spoil Bioshock Infinite for Alex.

Got the house to ourselves.
|

The one remaining housemate has gone to the Lake District with their parents and their boyfriend for the week.
|

15:39:13

No, I was playing LoL.

I think you'll be fine as long as you don't get a goddamn HP.

Both 2/10 would not recommend, regardless.
|
|
|
23:04:40
|
|
|
Though I think those are being phased out in favour of tablets.
|
|
|
23:04:11
|
|
|
While Asus is a pretty good brand, don't get one of those mini-laptops, running anything besides a couple tabs including Youtube is a PAIN.
|
|
|
23:00:18

She's biased towards dem Thinkpads tho.
|

Alex: Something from Lenovo if it's just for schoolwork.

Kalisthenics? Something like that?

Use it for your kinesthetics or whatever you call that workout crap you do.

Have fun saving up for your GTX 770. She says. "It's awesome."
|
|
|
22:53:28
|
|
|
She says hi.
|
|
|
22:53:15
|
|
|
Me: Goddamn. She's like one of the femme-ist girls I know.
|
|
|
22:52:46
|
|
|
Me: OH. You're thinking of Steen. Alex is that Spanish girl who was wanting to upgrade her computer.

22:51:04
|
|

Alex: How do we know her...?
|
|
|
22:50:38
|
|
|
Me: *points at chatbox* "Oh, that's Alex there."
|
|
|
22:50:11
|
|
|
Alex: What happened to that girl who had computer problems?
|
|
|
03:35:26

03:35:04

Don't Starve >>>>> etc.
|
|
|
03:26:58
|
|
|
Yeah, working up the nerve to tell her.
|
|
|
03:26:34
|
|
|
Ironically, aside from not taking bullshit from anyone, my family would love her personality.
|
|
|
03:24:49
|
|
|
Though I may reserve that judgement until after I tell my mother that my "friend" that is staying over for the summer is in fact my girlfriend.
|
|
|
03:23:29

I think it's a somewhat typical lesbian thing to have everyone's mothers but your own to like you.
