edonil Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Heh, no worries about conversational skills. I'm doing okay, don't want to be at work. But I'm stuck here, so, eh. Listening to a new cd and letting Elle do whatever with some tech stuff. ---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ---------- How was your day?

Mister Shine Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Vacuum hose with pantyhose or some similar sheer fabric elasticed over it is called a "tiny fiddly bit finder" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowchikawowers Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Uh... It was a day. Dreading tomorrow, Wednesday is by far the worst day of the week, and my boss will probably ask me to stay late again tomorrow like she did today. ---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ---------- Better make sure there isn't a run in the stocking though.

Mako Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I don't want to damage my stockings doing that, I only have a few pairs and I'm saving them for GenCon :-P Found it eventually. It's now settled in place so hopefully it won't go anywhere this time. Which CD ed? I keep meaning to get hold of steam powered stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 It's called Cryoshell, by a band of the same name. They did a song for Bionicle commercials back when that was a thing...turns out, they've got a cd, lol. Pretty good stuff. ---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ---------- I'm sorry Chris! (hug) That's never a good thing.

Mako Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Ah, might have to check them out then. Ugh, crawling about on the floor hunting a claw is unpleasant. I'm now too hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Can I go home from work yet? (sigh) At least you found the claw intact, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Sandy, not yet. You have to stay a few more minutes. Lol Yeah, I was half expecting to not find it, and then have to try and make a new one from half a silicon mould and the rest resculpted. Not a good thing to have to do...

Mako Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Blast. It was supposed to say sadly, not sandy. Sausage fingers... It's going ok I think, just got to pour the other half, then cut the vents, then I can test it out and hopefully have a decent cast by the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hopefully! How was work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Same as usual, pointless waste of a day really. Gt my new work permit, which now expressly declares I'm not allowed to go into any training while I'm on the permit. Which may make things complicated.

edonil Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Um. What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 According to my permit, I can only work for my current boss at U of T (knew that bit). And I'm not allowed to enter academic or vocational training or education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 But...doesn't that mean you can't get training for work either? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Pretty much I'm not allowed to get any other job on this permit, it's a closed one. If I wanted to work for a different supervisor, or get a job in industry, or switch out to another career, I have to either pay the couple of thousand it'll cost to apply for permanent residency, or go home.

edonil Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Ouch. That's not a good thing considering what you were contemplating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Geez, governments are stupid. Closed permit doesn't even make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Stops me getting a job that I know won't last, and then using it as a stepping stone into the country, bypassing the residency things. Or at least that's their theory I think. Eh, the advantage of speaking with very very good lawyers about a career change is that if anyone can find the loophole and right paperwork to avoid a trip home, it'll be them *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Good points... ---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ---------- These characters are a bit odd to work with, I have to say. I'm not used to doing a small group of professionals like this...I think I need to watch some Leverage or something, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
