120 laps, very impressive, I can hardly go for 4 laps in one go....he he he......Originally Posted by SleepyWitch
another boast: I swam 3,000 m yesterday (120 single laps in a 25m pool). I cheated though, because 40% of it was crawling where I was supposed to do 100% breast stroke.
But seeing as I'm picking it up again after a long break, it's good enough
hehe, I used to do this once a week every week but I've become very sluggish (due to the long term evil influence of English crisps and short term bother of Psychology exams)
This week, I landed a major client that I've been working into. I'm really proud coz I've at this company for only three months.

Wow, Ozzed! Congratulations!! Good Job!
Now this boast is for my lovely sister Laindessiel..
Yesterday she cooked a REALLY SUPERB LUNCH with the monggo beans! She really is getting better at her cooking skills!
If I gain unwanted wieght I should put her to blame...

Was in Latvia.
Survived!
And even managed to sing and enjoy ourselves!
If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
Congrats, OZEED Lain and Taliesin. (Is Latvia that bad?)
Sleepy, good for you. Orals are more difficult for most folks than written because they really put you on the spot.

what did you do in Latvia, Tal? Except sing and survive?
yep, Kathy, I find orals more difficult, too, because you can't waffle or the prof asks you unexpected questions.
Yich...oral exams...not looking forward to my Spanish one on Wednesday next week...
Hmmm...I have not really accomplished much worth boasting except for not pulling all of my hair out yet with all of the schoolwork piled on to problems with coworkers going on...I can't wait until I leave for California on the 8th!
You learn more about a road by travelling it than by consulting all of the maps in the world.
hehe, well that's good enough for a start
what kind of trouble are your co-workers giving you?
Oh, well...this semester was a weird one for our writing center because our official Director was off-island having a baby. She was still "technically" our director but wasn't actually here to direct...so she trusted me and another tutor to direct ourselves and the other tutors...
needless to say, we slowly but surely started to relax some of the rules, and our co-workers then started to take advantage by taking random long breaks during hours they were being paid for, making excuses like they had someone to pick up at the airport, or they would come in late saying "well, nobody ever wants help with a paper this early anyway..."
It got a little out of hand, and neither me nor the other "co-director/tutor" have the power to warn, fire, or dock hours from them...then the school realized that our director was off-island and insisted that she designate a faculty member on island to take her place, which resulted in mass confusion and prevented us from being able to approach the problem of the carefree tutors...
I finally wound up writing a public notice for all tutors on the same day I posted that "boast" that outlined the university policy for student employees and restated that anyone diverging from the policy could lose their job...when they asked why I did it I said that we were going to be watched for the next few weeks while they find us a new director...
So, got that fixed and FINISHED ALL OF MY PAPERS!!! WOOHOO!!! (there's my boast

wow, that sounds like a lot of mess!
when is your director coming back?
(another swimming boast: did 2000m the day before yesterday and another 2000m last night; I'm taking a few days "off" after the exam, so I had lots of time to go swimming)
oooooh boasting is good for you?
