I missed my LJ's fourth anniversary on Friday.

One more year until my permanent account has paid for itself! Whee!



In other news, my arm still hurts, although I can now move it around much more easily. Turning my wrist and putting any sort of weight on it (like holding a coat) is a no-go, but hey, I'll take what I can get. As ai731 warned me, I now have an attractive lump on my elbow. Also, very fetching green and blue and yellow bruising. I suspect it's been there for a while, but I couldn't lift my arm up far enough to see it.


I'm pretty sure I passed my dispatcher course. I got 96% on my first written test, 84% on my oral exam, and I'm reasonably sure my last written test went swimmingly. As the professor said, people hardly fail his course. So, yay!

I hear they might be looking for people in Longueuil, which would be good news. Honestly, having worked out in Vaudreuil, I no longer consider commuting to be a huge hardship. Anyway, as of tomorrow, when I get my final grades (I hope), I shall start looking for a new and improved job as a dispatcher.

Beyond the Pale will go up tomorrow. My apologies for being late, but the weekend once again ate my brain. On Tuesday, there will be celebration as I meet my goal of 28 installments in 28 days. Yay!

Last but not least: thank you to the CD fairy who dropped off a late birthday present, something which I'd been meaning to get for a very long time now but never got around to it. It was The Phantom of the Opera (the original London cast, no less). My copy, which was on tape, died a sad, sad death at the hands of my tape player about three years ago and it broke my heart. So, yay!

Much yay! today, in spite of the tired and the owie. I can hardly wait until this stupid injury heals up properly. Maybe then I'll be able to spend a little more time on the internet and doing other useful things that go better with two hands to do them.

Off to bed now!

I wish there was more they could do for your arm. A sling isn't much help, I imagine. My shoulder injury was far less serious (just pinched nerves) but very painful at first, so I marvel at your ability to manage.

Good luck with the search for a new job. After all your hard work, you definitely deserve it.

Yay for the dispatcher course! Also, Tuesday is Mardi Gras, so there's another reason for a little bit of excess.

Happy belated LJaversary!

I add my belated LJ anniversary wishes too. How does it make a permanent account pay for itself though? It seems to me it just means that you used it enough to make it worth it. Free accounts like mine seem to be worth enough...

I've been there with having to work around pain. It often has to be done, but it's still not fun.

Righteous!

All right! The arm is making a recovery, and you've kicked ass and taken names on the dispatcher test! Very cool. Bravo, and congratulations! Good night. You've earned the sleep of the righteous. ; )

Congrats on the course! I'm glad to hear it went so well. Best of luck finding work in the field. We'll watch this space for the inevitable new job announcement.

Congrats, congrats, and good luck! ^_^

You're welcome! I went out and picked it up only a week or so after we talked about it at Hurley's back at the beginning of December, and then it got mixed up with the Christmas stuff, and, well, time got away from me. But! See what a lovely surprise it made, coming at a time like this instead?

And yay you on acing the dispatcher course!
