Posted March 25, 2020 time has been weird to me since forever, but about 10 years ago my desk job had to cut back our hours because we weren't doing as much business as we used to. this was after it was just me and my boss and we moved to a smaller office. so i worked Mon-Thurs, and picked up a Fri-Sun job. my current Fri-Sun job is actually my second one because the first was a bookstore that closed. so now, at the craft store, i'd work Fri-Sun and then go back to my desk job for only 4 days, but it felt like an entire 7! and i'd finish at my desk job on a Thursday, work the weekend, and when i'd come back on Monday - only 3 days away - that felt like it was also another entire 7 days. yeah, time isn't real.

(let me know if that link doesn't work....) That's awesome! I've done that kind of crochet, but a whole afghan? I don't have the patience. I do have the patience for C2C pictures though.

Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Good morning peeps! Edit: My boss has told me I've done something wrong and I need to change it but he won't tell me what I did wrong. Or at least I'm not understanding him very well T-T Edited March 25, 2020 by Fortune86 Share this post Link to post

Posted March 25, 2020 Good morning CPA. Definitely frustrating if your boss won't tell you what the problem is. Share this post Link to post

I do have the patience for C2C pictures though. thanks!! so each panel is a project in itself, rather than making 1 panel and calling it 1/16th complete. i started my first panel back in october and i hope to finish the last panel in april, so taking it in piecemeal makes it seem not quite as huge. the border around the whole thing will be.... interesting. i've made lots of c2c blankets, too. ETA: i just had a fun, lovely Zoom chat with some online friends from Ravelry Edited March 25, 2020 by trystan so i didn't double-post Share this post Link to post

Boxes dealt with, as best they're going to be. Floor kinda mopped. Now to set up my exerciser again. The black lines are getting worse... Share this post Link to post
Posted March 25, 2020 Ooh, no. Black lines go away!! I've got most of my scrapbooking all put away in drawers. The only things left out is stuff that won't fit in the drawers. The new dragons are really pretty, but where in the world will I sort the colorful ones with my altered rainbow sort? Hmmm.... Share this post Link to post

Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Someone posted in the news thread that they had changed colors -- and indeed they had! And now a second change. You can see them here: I can't seem to get it to show the right post in that thread, but if you scroll to the top the OP has posted pictures of the 3 we have seen so far.

Posted March 26, 2020 That is very cool! I think I like the first shading best but all three are lovely. Glad I snagged two more of the eggs. Started another puzzle today. 1,000 pieces. Oddly, the sky was one of the first sections I finished (I usually do sky last). Share this post Link to post

I've not done a real jigsaw puzzle in a long time. I do them online, but haven't done one more than 250 pieces. With the real ones nothing but 1000 pieces or more will do. The online ones don't tie up my table space. We used to do a lot of them as a family. My daughter has carried on a tradition of doing a really hard one every year in April in memory of my Mom, whose birthday was April 5. Edited March 26, 2020 by purplehaze Share this post Link to post
Posted March 26, 2020 You guys have inspired me to do a jigsaw puzzle. But, well, the only problem is with me getting ready to move, I just don't have time. But then with the Corona virus, I may not be moving as soon because none of the offices of the apartments I'm considering are open. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 26, 2020 Morning peeps. Um. I've noticed that a lot more hair seems to be coming out when I brush these days. Think it's something to worry about? Share this post Link to post

Posted March 26, 2020 Good morning, CPA! *sets out yogurt and assorted fruits* Hot and sunny. I've had a nice wee walk to the nearest corner store to get a paper, and I am dropping my laptop off at the computer place on my way to work tomorrow. Share this post Link to post

It's possible it's just the normal aging process, but you should still check with your doctor, but, of course, I wouldn't try to go to the doctor right now what with the virus and all. 53 minutes ago, Lagie said: Hot and sunny.
