misc. update
Jan. 17th, 2005 03:51 pmHRB looks positive. I'll have 10 on the job training hours this week, and then next week is the start of Peak hours. It looks like I have a good chance of learning the electronic transfer system, and/or working as a "preparer's assistant," basically data-entering W-2's, 1040's, and that sort of thing, leaving the preparers to conduct the interview proper.
I finished my new bodice. I have no slack at the waist, the bust is a little loose, and there're some wrinkles where I didn't match things up just right, but nothing horribly obvious.
I did some awesome new things with my poi. Tali showed me a neat thingy where you spin the poi asynchronously over your head, and occasionally dip them under your arm, and I figured out how to do that, yay! I also was able to spin a bit behind my back!! I can't do anything too impressive yet, but I at least can cross both hands behind at once, and bring them back (ie, a basic X-cross) without hitting myself in the head or calves *too* much.
The drum circle this last weekend was interesting, as I witnessed my first ever almost-fight... ( details... )
