I totally forgot to check the avi contest, too. Congrats mem!!
*throws confetti*

Oh and Chrizine was close, 4th place!

jacob, this sounds like a very shitty day, I hope you experience better things with the other interns :(
It's good that you give feedback, it is their problem that they cannot deal with it :(
/is annoyed about the intern and the photographer, too

mem, as long as you can cope with the rats all is good 8)

Oh wow mem! Congrats!!! I never managed that in all my time here XD and I usually enter three a month too haha. Confetti everywhere!

Job interview sounds exciting too. Maybe you'll be good for it because you're like a blank canvas, you're an average person on the street instead of a snobby expert.

Thanks for the hugs/commiserations XD Ahhh life would be so much easier without all the people haha. I've got my work cut out for me today because I have to be the graphic designer, the editor, and the writer since my features intern has her finals this week. Issue launch is today and all I've done so far is the cover D:

I never managed to win it either xD
I got on the list 3 times (I think?) but never 1st-3rd place.

Oh right, the job interview, mem! I forgot, it sounds super exciting! I wanted to try the gaming industry for myself as well (one day) so you have to tell me everything about it afterwards!

Aw, poor jacob!! I hope you can manage, I keep my fingers crossed!

Oh and I just remembered: I owe you an update on the guy I am dating (I guess I can say that right now xD).
Well, we had our 3rd date yesterday, we've been to the cinema. I was actually never a fan of going to the movies on a date (especially not on the first one), but I discovered that it has it's advantages as well xD We were a little touchy :D
Which leads us to the 4th day today, I am going to go to his place, we are going to see a movie together.
We all know what it means I guess xD

I've been 3rd before I think. Never got my medal because there was some kind of glitch where me and someone else had the exact same score and it kept changing its mind which of us was the winner~

I'm.... not managing so far :D One feature down hahaha. Just leaves 9 to go X.X

Ooh sounds exciting! I'm not really a fan of movie dates either but it's good you found an advantage :mcwink: and, well, this one will be interesting to say the least XD

Oh no :( Did you message Firn about this?
If you had the same score you should both have gotten the medal imo.

Wow, sounds like A LOT of work :( Are other interns probably capable of helping you?

Haha yea I am looking forward to it! 90 minutes to go!

Yes, I think someone had had this issue with sharing the same place, not too long ago and they posted in the support forum.

And guys, I messed up the interview. I got on the wrong train and everything was lost. I had to cancel :mcsweat: The wage wasn't good anyways and it was a casual contract, I'm not really interested in that... I'm only trying not to feel like a complete failure by saying this stuff :mccry: :mccry: :mccry:
But I spontaneously decided to visit my dad and grandma since I was nearby and they were very glad that I did. And so am I.

Also, wierd thing and my mind must be playing tricks on me, but... Yesterday Ash and I had a conversation about his kinda brother and his gf (she's few years older than her partner). So far I was sure she wasn't in a hurry for kids&marriage etc., but Ash told me she actually was in a bit of a hurry and that his brother told her it's not an option for now. That only from a crtain age he'll be able to start thinking about and it's not the time yet. So I picked up on that and said Ash is similar with that, so he agreed. And he said he doesn't think he's mature enough to get settled with marriage and kids. So I said I think he's more mature than he thinks, but that I like it about him that he's so self-conscious and such. And he said he doesn't think I'm mature enough. So, ouch. But I stiffled my inner gremlin (pms is on, I'm being brave) and asked him if he doesn't want to settle because of his or my immaturity.
So at first he's like, it's not about that at all, we're just financially not ready, no apartment, no marriage blabla. And I told him to just stop thinking about the money for the sake of my question. Because, how can he even say I'm not mature enough to be a mother? Ouch. So he starts saying we can't afford any wedding etc. And I told him I stopped thinking about any wedding and marriage a while ago, I'm over it, so stop thinking about it, and my priority is kids, marriage or no marriage. And he seemed shocked. I may be wrong, but he seemed really flabbergasted when I said that.
And now, I got an ad on kofk about custom engagement jewelry. Literally. And he's always been saying that if he's gonna propose, the ring will be custom made because he ain't gonna trust the chain jewelry stores.
Could it be he was searching for something and it's like in some cloud of our internet so I can see the ads that are actually recommended to him because he was searching this stuff? Could what I said freak him out so much that he'd actually rush into something? Or is this some crazy coincidence? 'Cause you know, I'm already freaking out I might be pregnant (not legit, just freaking out like some months, and this one has been crazy in terms of pms, still on it and hating it). It's probably just a crazy coincidence, right? And I'm freaking out because I have no life or hobby or purpose in life and I need drama? (the no purpose thing was sugested by Ash yesterday! :mcangry: )
Plus, I have no idea when he'd be googling that, I think I could easily notice if he did, I can't even recall. So it's kind of impossible. But why the hell that ad???? Ok, I'm slowly realizing it's not for real, just a coincidenc for sure :mcheh: :mcheh: :mcheh:

Oh, does anyone else have trouble with the site? It's all wrong, I've clicked F5 like a bunch of times, it's still all in Times New Roman and big font and disarranged :mcargh:

Yes, I was excited to see that :) So close! ;)
I don't enter the contest all that often, but I really liked that avi, so I'm glad a lot of other people seem to like it, too :)
I should enter more often.

mem, I think those ads might just be because it's spring and people start thinking about this stuff more. I got some on youtube a few weeks ago and my reaction was similar (except, I pretty much told my bf that I didn't really want a ring, but then again, he kind of tricked me into trying on rings when we were shopping together, so that made me even more suspicious...). Of course it's theoretically possible that you are served ads targeted at Ash, maybe due to you having the same IP, but to me it seems that most of the time they use more sophisticated tracking than that anyway.
So yeah, I'd say try not to freak out too much about it.
And if it was real, well, maybe he is considering that if you are not so big about the wedding then maybe you two can have something smaller and less costly, therefore afford it sooner? Who knows. Or he might just have been looking at wedding stuff because he wanted to estimate costs and that triggered the ad. There's tons of possibilities. But I completely understand being freaked out about this!

@Julez Well, this was a few years ago by now. And when it happened, wellll... there was some conflict in the forums that made me decide not to pursue it.

None of the other interns can help yet, I would have to train them up completely. So I'm going to put a job ad up for a new graphic intern. At least that will be one person to train who hopefully will be more reliable. Anyway, I got it done - about 10.30pm by the time I finished. Subsequently had a load of other stuff to do and didn't get to sleep until 1.30 D:

@Mem site looks normal to me! And, I don't know. It sounds like a big coincidence but maybe not. I wouldn't freak out about it, but consider in the back of your mind I suppose. It could be true, it could be not.
