@evooba those are some great picks!
@birdy1989 how’s the puppy?!
I’m waiting for my nephew. He ditched me and is playing with a friend down the street. His mother is home.
We’re finally getting some beautiful weather!

50 minutes past midnight, still ghost hour here. 
Best greetings to all of you! 
@theearlywalker always great to read long,
cheerful posts from you!
Its dangerous to ask me about my book. I can talk about it even more than sheep. 
I have send the contract back a while ago and try to be patient, it will come back. In the contract is the deadline 30th of July to send the manuscript to the publisher. So I work now on the final polish. It’s my first book. I started writing it, when I was twelve. It sure went through a lots of changes over time. It is exciting that now is the moment to let my baby fly but also scary. 
In autumn a editor will look it over and it should be published in spring.
It’s the biggest dream I ever had. So @framos1792 it is all enough to see my book in the bookstore around my corner. 
Enjoy this! 
@lpfan61 happy you have a good weekend! Hugs back!
@anomalia the tag your it topic remembered me of the times you still were talking here. Miss this! Hope you stay strong neighbour and namesister! 
That of cause goes for all of you!
Stay strong!

@anna834 sounds great! I didn’t know you started it at that age :o
Meanwhile, my day was pretty insane. Long story incoming.
As part of the application for that job I got invited to apply for I did a test today. They send you a test with some assignments at a scheduled time that you need to send back within an hour. It was insane, honestly. Quite possibly the craziest test I’ve ever done in my life.
I probably shouldn’t be putting this out here in public technically speaking, but… this seems like a closed enough space where it won’t do harm. I never would have been able to do that test if I just got sent it today and had to do it in an hour. In the current situation I might pass it, but only because I kind of ‘cheated’. Thing is, a few weeks ago I got invited to apply for a different job by a different company (all in the same industry), and they sent me a test too. I saw within 20 minutes that I was completely flunking it so I sent them a mail saying so, and that I was stepping out from applying (job offer wasn’t that attractive anyways).
A few days ago I had my interview with the company of the current application, and the woman briefly told me what the first assignment on the test would be like. And I realised that it was the same type of assignment on the other test. So what I did, since the other test was so crazy, is a few hours before the test I worked for nearly 2 hours to “do” the test I was sent a few weeks back, just so I’d really understand how it all works. I figured it was kind of cheating since I assumed today’s test would be very similar, but I’m not so good with just doing something entirely new on the spot like that. I thought I could do the job if I had some time to get into it, so I thought some practice wouldn’t harm anyone.
And my test today? Exact same test. Not just the questions; no, also with the exact same TV-shows and films as the other one (it’s a job in the entertainment industry). So I basically had 3/4ths of the test complete before ever starting! And you know what? I still only barely got it back to them in time, after an hour. I don’t understand how anybody could possibly complete that test within the hour they give you, honestly :V
As I said I’m not good at just doing new things off the fly, but this wasn’t even that new to me anymore and it was still the craziest test in my life. It just involved doing so much research and there was a lot to figure out, and I had to do several assignments…
So now I’m in an interesting position where, even if I get the results back in 1 or 2 weeks and I passed, I still don’t really know if I could do the actual work. Since I was thinking of leaving Ireland fairly soon to go find a job back in my home country of The Netherlands, I might be willing to take the risk since, if I have to quit, it wouldn’t interfere with my plans much (but ideally I’d keep this job for a while to save up a decent amount of money). But I also have a holiday planned with my best friend who’s coming to Ireland in about 6 weeks, so I can’t get fired and be forced to leave the country before then 
Crazy stuff happening…

Sounds great and exciting!
Don’t break your head (in English is that a used term?) about this test!
You done it. Period!
In the end, its mostly about getting a job done effective and properly. Not the fastest. So I will never understand this clocked tests. It says nothing about peoples quality in a long run. And weed out good people who the company could be happy to have.
But this system starts with school, and doesn’t change. 
So don’t be afraid! You are qualified!

I woke up early this morning and worked a long eight-hour day. After work, I took my bike to the mall, as my mission to find a new pair of shoes continued. Fortunately, I succeeded.
And of course, I can’t bring a new pair of shoes into the house without..
My current shoes are the Reeboks on the left.
I’m hoping those will last me until at least September, when the new school year starts. Over the next couple months, I’ll be spending time breaking the new pair in, probably running around the gym in the school, shooting hoops, or something.

@anna834 lol thank you 
and I sign in for a copy with autograph…
@evowarrior5 those tests are designed like this on purpose… it is impossible to make it in time because they test your stress management and resilience at the same time… and how good you can focus under these conditions… I guess your result is already over the average if you had 3/4 of it done before…
@LP13413 yaaay cool sneakers and happy to see the boss doing good - enjoy your weekend now 
And ofc good morning my dear @lpfan61
