Sounds like you're having loads of Faan.

Today, my grandmother gave me her old alto saxophone to inherit. When she was a young adult, she would play in her father's jazz and swing band, and after seeing how much I enjoy music decided to pass it on to me. Only issue is it hasn't been played in 50 years and although it is still in playable condition, it needs restoration. Cleaning. Dusting. Polishing. And the springs on one of the keys is missing, so that needs to be replaced. And I am just an amateur. But, hey. Not only do I want to learn to play it, but it has enormous sentimental value to me, so I'm going to try and do a job worthy of a professional, uh... … … instrument... restorationist… person.

Though, I will be taking it to a music shop to get some advice. If there is anyone here who plays the saxophone, I'd also appreciate any input. ;)

Apparently today is a very rare date. I mean, every date is a very rare date but this one has cool palindrome properties that are even rarer than normal palindromic dates.

I mean, I'd start questioning your sanity if they hadn't...considering the idea that, had they not started the car all you did was run into a parked vehicle.

Why do i feel like Animew is my spirit Animu Cat... I've done that too! I've also convinced a drunk motorcyclist to drive into me while I ran straight at him. I was so special once...

I am currently sitting in academic limbo. Tuks has admitted me into their Master's program so I can register (and have to do so soon if theirs is the program I want to do), but I am still awaiting admission news from the university I actually want to go to. Got a letter of recommendation and even did my bachelor's engineering thesis on the topic (jet engines). It's been one week now, but still no news. The professor who recommended me told me admin gets busy and so I shouldn't wait for confirmation, and should just begin the enrolment process anyways.
Gott verdammte. This uncertainty is nerve-wracking.

Tuks is fantastic for aeronautical engineering, but I'm more interested in jet and rocket engines, and the faculty I want to get into is the only one in the country that does that sort of thing.

If there is one thing university admin has taught me and taught me well, it is that if you want anything done competently and for sure, you need either to do it yourself or go there and make sure it gets done, yourself.

I am relatively certain, reading Galahads description of admin at university... I must be working at a university...

I spoke to man boss about the role today, he said he would talk to his wife (woman boss). So it will be months before they get back to me :P considering ive worked there for 4 months and have asked for a contract 3 times... but oh well.

I have tomorrow off. I have tomorrow off because I needed to leave work an hour and a half earlier but it is easier to ask for a whole day off than it is to ask for permission to leave early. But I am excited for tomorrow because I get to see Katya and the Comedy Queens! 6 drag queens, all making me laff. I am going to be happy :)

:lol: Yes, feel my pain! But at least your boss doesn't go out to lunch when you've come all the way to come see him. Tuks admins hours are like "08:00-08:01" followed by <Lunch, Smoke Break, Scrolling Instagram, Doing Something Other Than Reading Your Emails>".
But they won't stop me when I HALO jump early into campus and explosive breach their office and jam their WiFi, and demand they finally take my contract. Special Raptor Ops.

Also, I am dominating that top poster award hard. Where is everyone else? Animew, you're slacking.

It's seeming increasingly likely. I was trying to get into UKZN's rocket propulsion labs, but it seems they've already filled their postgraduate quotas. Looks like I may just have to settle for UP for now, and try my luck again when I'm done with my Master's. Just checking out other postgrad programmes offered around, and then I'll reach a final decision early next week.

Also, that's pretty awesome, Rak. :P Guessing you'll be working with the physics department somewhere? Might meet up sometime.

You are indeed correct. All my boss does is arrive at the most inopportune moment, decide to move all the furniture in the reception around, leave it half done and moan that we haven't gotten all our work done for the day or made enough sales.
But you must HALO jump at them... Scare the shit out of then when u land all badass. Go dressed as master chief too lol. Wait... Is that the wrong Halo?

I suppose it could cost a lot of money to enrol at Tuks? Registration fees and such?
Also I get that... The uncertain feeling... It's hell for engineers.

As for what I'm doing. I flled a jar with 960g of Jelly Beans.

It's actually a dream come true for me!

I often joke (well, half-joke) that Tuks is the Apple of universities. I teased my friend that he and I were entering into the "iPostgrad" program, after trying to recover from seeing what the registration fee alone was. The fees are ludicrous, and Tuks is notorious for them. However, you do get what you pay for. And in my undergrad, I was heavily involved in some extracurricular projects there that I at least can continue in a more opportune way.

Just using the 'Unread posts' tab I get what i deserve; I didn't look where the "Diminishment" topic was and just opened it.
Luckily no one was near me. Will be reading a bit more carefully now.

Not 7 months since my last visit to a hospital, here I am again! Awaiting x-rays after I did, what I can only assume to be, THE sickest flip over my bicycle's handlebars this morning while on my way to work. I've also returned and it was only a dislocation. Problematically it's on my good arm and I probably shouldn't cycle for about 2-3 weeks. :/

Ivic, I am sure that pun made you feel at least 5% better, if not granted you a miraculous recovery. Like that "toof hurty" pun I sent you at the dentist.

Seriously, though, I hope you get better soon. That sounds legitimately painful.
