Stavros Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I applied for and got a place on my university BBC fusion project! I'm creating apps related to TV shows under the watchful eye of actual BBC personel! Just need to ace my exam tomorrow and finish moving house on Saturday and I'm sorted.

Venneh Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Over the last few days I have: -Filed my federal taxes -Filed my state taxes -Submitted the FAFSA for grad schools -Gotten relevant tax information to the Dept of Education to hopefully put my loans into income-based repayment until next year/I go into grad school (which is to say, $0/mo) And the refunds on the state and federal level are coming out to... enough to cover my flight to PAX and my share for the hotel, along with my C2E2 hotel room, put it that way. Sometimes being an adult rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Last friday I pitched App/website projects for both BBC Radio 4 and the BBC's Natural History unit, found out last night that both have been tentatively approved for further development. Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Awesome! Is this something that Americans would be able to access down the line, if they get greenlit for development? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks! Depends on whether they outsource it to BBC America, at the moment US and UK have different app shops for the most part. I guess if it's on the website you could use it along with the show regardless of where it's shown, although it won't as yet allow for advertising.

Chops Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I was moved up from section leader and put in charge of my own platoon today. My first reaction was to look at the officer in charge and say, "Seriously bro? You do know who I am?" This should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobob_100 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 So I went to the doctor today for the first time in almost three years and I found out what's wrong with me. I have gout, which is a mild arthritis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 So apparently my office grapevine let our HR lady know that my dad got fired and I'm subsequently at risk of losing my insurance, so I'm getting updgraded to a project position for a year, which includes benefits, leave time, and paid holidays. Go me? oO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 It has to go through HR first, so we'll see, but the hope is that it'll go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
