A Love Story
Nothing special.
He had my back in SWTOR. He corrected Clark Gable to Cary Grant. He got me back to writing with silly drunken rhymes. He added to my bucketlist until we had 250+ items. He lent me books. He made sense of my ramblings at 4AM. He worked out MENSA puzzles with me. He compiled a custom playlist with 89 songs (and it keeps growing). He gave me his prized Barcelona team jersey and told me to wear it out. He taught me poker, then bullshitted me out of my spare change. He served homemade pizza, burgers and spagetti. He scared the crap out of me during horrors. He stocked O'boy in his homebar for me. He hid the peanuts on the top she

I've used a fancy spectrophotometer, packed well over 200 orders and probably got over a dozen paper cuts. I'm supposed to work mainly with marketing/design, but the boss wanted me to take part of the production process too to learn as much as possible about the company.

Interview #2, Graphic Design - Full Time: Conducted by two men. More laid-back than the first interview, with casual conversation and questions about my CV and interests. They see
Words Are An Endangered Species
Did you know that 90% of what we write is only communicated through 7,000 words? That means thousands of perfectly good words are getting lost murklins because they don't get used. We can't have that, can we?
Oxford University Press came up with this fun and quirky solution: Save a Word by Adopting It! All you have to do is to promise to use the word as often as possible.
"I hereby promise to use this word, in conversation and correspondence, as frequently as possible to the very best of my ability."
SWT has a lot of funny suggestions on how you can use your new adoptee.
