Okay, so I wasn't able to check the forums in a day and suddenly there are 5 more pages but um

im not sure if i like it as much as i do because of the taste or because i wanna sip dandelion water like some kinda forest nymph

(Good luck with the job Haiz, too)

Also, book club?
Books are cool.
I like books.

Its something where you enter in setting for situations in the world, and using a tree, they show how many things fit those settings(talking about quality if human life and such)

Lets two or more people draw on the same canvas at once. We should def get a SSSS party going on sometime.

First, very cool and interesting, shame the data only goes up to 2013.

Second, would have been a lot better if it ran at higher than 3/4fps.

Third, that is really cool, love stuff like that where you can rotate the galaxy to view it from different angles, though like the second eats way too much CPU.

Fourth, tis an art thing so not really of interest to me.

I don't only bring books to a party, I also bring my sketchbook. It's much easier to concentrate on sketching than reading at a place full of people, thus also having a much more calming effect on me.

The same with notebook. Always. Everywhere. I was the only one taking notes last friday in front of the persons I was meeting. Do you want to join us in our corner ? ^^

And good luck for your job

Good luck Haiz!

I WORKED IN THE KITCHENS TODAY



- at morning meeting:
Boss person: “we don’t have a free computer for her until next week, so… we need to find some other work for her in the meantime.”
Head chef: “I can set her to make sandwiches?”
Boss person: “some… meaningful work.”
me: “i’ll do practically anything“
Boss person: “don’t promise too much!”
Head chef: “SANDWICHES”

(I didn't actually work so much with the sandwiches though. mostly i chopped vegetables, unpacked butter, and deconstructed salad heads)

“you even gave her the scarf? we don’t need the scarf”
“I JUST LOVE DRESSING PEOPLE UP”

- most common exhange today:
“We have a newbie! She’s a student from Norway.”

"And get this, she speaks perfect Czech!!"


also it seems like my name is "little girl" or "young lady" now. OH WELL.

Haiz: you're channeling Reynir more and more each day, I'm tempted to say something about how many people have mistaken him for a girl. Also this:

“you even gave her the scarf? we don’t need the scarf”
“I JUST LOVE DRESSING PEOPLE UP”

is priceless.

[Daéa Reina]

What Laufey just said.

Congratulations on your first day of work!

I know, it's incredible how I'm turning into Reynir..... To be fair all my legal documents are all ~*This Is a Girl*~ and I'm not saying anything against because 1) Professional Environment (everyone is already asking me if it's trendy to have green hair back in norway) and 2) i have no idea how to be non-binary in czech and i'm not even gonna dare try it

also thank you!! im exhausted. being intimidated by everything all day takes a lot outta you apparently

Perfect illustration ^^
Maybe they'll use your first name in a few days ?

[Haiz]

I hope so! many of them do already, to be honest. The one who dressed me up and kind of acted as my guide today even called me by my pet name, Helenka, which was such a relief actually

Just out of curiosity, what are the non binary gender pronouns in Norwegian?

there aren't any official ones yet (but there might be soon, I HOPE), but so far I know about hen, hin and de/dem (last one is just 'they'). I prefer hin, and I have like....... four friends who actually even use them for me, too! woop

[daItrick]

Congrats on your first day of work Haiz!! >w<
