Yes, exactly!

Grrr.) I've got to finish off an article tomorrow, too, I'm dreading doing the final editing.

And then I didn't even mention the footnotes ' ibidem' , when after having rearranged my text, I think: what ibidem, where in heavens name ibidem? In the worst case I have to go back to the archives, at the other end of our country I'm a fool.....

Wow you guys really make working as a waitress sound good

Good luck, you'll do fine, in fact better than you expect, studies show that our expectations are lower for ourselves than they are for anyone else.*

*I have no proof of these so called studies, I made them up ok? I know. I feel guilty enough with out you telling me that I screwed up. This is just like University all over again, how was I supposed to know some professor in the 15th century already did that research? He didn't do it with kittens did he, he did it with mice, so by virtue of the cuteness rule. I win, so there.

Ummm..yeah... LOL. Actually, it was (and is) being a cashier that forced me into going back to school. I have to remind myself of that forcibly (by going to work) when I get too stressed about school, LOL.

whenever i said i didn't want to go to school, mom would tell me, "so you want to be a maid? fine, you can start tomorrow." :P

Last time we went I noticed that most people were so busy photographing that I think they aren't enjoying the flowers until they are home and have downloaded the photos to their computers.

Last time we went in May (almost at the end of the Keukenhof being open) my sister wanted to go early this year, hopefully it won't be as busy as later in the season.

Cheers to everyone. Now I can get back to normal shirking work and chatting in mR

Just checking out my first few photos from the new camera (Olympus E-P2). I'm impressed with the camera...it's not my 5DMkII, but it has its own individual charm:

Stunning Marc ... Love the abstracts - especially P3310010, is that the sea lapping up the beach?

It's where a small stream comes out onto the beach and carves a channel, exposing the mixes of normal and black sand.

Cheers, and thanks,
