elaine

Must go out with Kelvin and Daphne to Phuture again soon.

Must find 6 more qualified instructors by end of this week.

Is recovering from a sore throat, eating and purchasing loads of Danzen.

Is happy to be going to Myanmar! Just bought a Burmese guide book for languages and a map of the country.

update on project: trying to gain bf rep(utation)

Have you been hanging in the air, waiting for me to respond to something in an elaine-way, anything, anything at all? Nah. Pardon me for being an ego-maniac.


Taking on playing WoW has consumed my rest time and thus my writing and online chat time. Much of the time I spend on a computer during my non-work hours, are on the other PC. Hence the ignored IMs and the lack of blogging or reading online.


I am not as fanatic as C, I maintain. Today before the timer set on our server's maintenance, he was Warlord Karale. (Never mind if you don't play and you don't understand.)


But these I do:


I eat my meals at the computer sometimes.

I dream of WoW, as I do any game I play for long. Even Scrabble or Literati.

I no longer get bored.

I play even when I am ill, albeit I rest eventually, I am not that madly mad.

I talk to C about the game; previously he talked to me about the game and I just absorbed the theoretical information I was gaining.

I wish they didn't have to shut down the server for maintenance on a night both C and I are sick and we are in our own respective homes instead of being ritually together on a Tuesday night.

I learn and use a ton of even more acronyms and such that compose the dictionary of gamers than I already did being a gamer's girlfriend.

C and I have lesser tension between us because he no longer feels guilty for coming over and just playing on his laptop, we play together on different computers and still get to spend time together, somewhat. Previously he would get angry and guilty if I asked him to do other things with me. We all know guilty men make angry men and thus upset girls, so this is a great boon to our relationship.

Playing together with C over the last weekend at my house gave us the 'holiday' feeling, and we need not even have to step into horrible town areas to do stupid things like squeeze with people in lifts to get to the cinema. If we keep this up, it means we get the 'holiday' weekend feeling more often and we will no longer feel as stressed and un-recharged for work.

I have some neutral understanding but am still bewildered by how much people can play and how little they can sleep and yet still function like normal adults.


Let's see how it goes.

recruitment of art instructors

We need to hire art instructors for upcoming projects with Splashwurks. Please spread this word if you come across this post.

Splashwurks is an art education company that does visual art programmes for schools, ranging across mediums such as tempera and acrylic painting, ceramics, and digital art. Splashwurks instructors are an excited bunch of people who are passionate about art, about learning, and about serving.

The position is freelance, and projects usually last for weeks at a time; for example use the schools' whole of term 4 as a gauge. Payment is on a freelance basis, email me to find out more about how much.

We are looking for people with:

1. Background in art or design, trained or self-taught. The more artistic mediums you are familiar with, the more projects you will be able to take on.
2. Experience in teaching / training / leadership is critical. Good spoken English required.
   
3. Attitude. This is critical, regardless of your skill level or experience. We are looking for people who are passionate, who desire to learn, are humble, and never mind if you are a bit mad.
   
4. Availability, to take on freelance projects, each one to completion. You are likely a tertiary student or a freelancer who can afford timeslots in your work week to fit in projects that occur over periods of a few weeks or months.
   

If you are keen or you know someone of calibre who will fit the bill, please email me and I will be glad to speak with you.

Closing date: Friday 8 September.
