therealljidolI didn't miss the calls for a new Work Room. I'm just ignoring them. ;)
You have the results from "last week" http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/465868.html - you have the new assignment http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/465928.html
Rather than bringing things back to (largely) the same focus group as has already spoken, bringing a wider audience into the discussion might be the way to go. Posting a link to that discussion, to get more people talking (friends of friends, friends of enemies, friends of giants, etc) is never a bad idea.

How are you doing today? Any better? Worse? About the same? About the same as someone else? Exactly the same as someone else? Ganger!!!! (*looks around wondering how many contestants are actually contestants and how many are The Flesh!*)

Date: 2011-05-26 12:40 pm (UTC)(Also, in fitting with the theme of my open topic entry, I found that the only way I could get started on this new challenge was to print off a copy of my must-redo-entry!)
I have to admit, my first reaction was to be a bit disheartened at having to rewrite, but now I'm getting more excited about the idea. (Well, actually, my first reaction was "hey, I almost called it!")
It's also really easy to feel sad when looking at an entry and thinking of terms such as least popular, least favorite which can so easily then morph into not as good, bad, worst, etc. I guess, to anyone else out there who got thinking the same stuff, I just want to say... don't. Some trios were really hard to rank and it was not a case of "this one is the worst" but "dammit, I love this one but I think I liked these other two even more!" Okay, so maybe my third-place entry was a pile of crap to some ;) But I know I'm probably not the only one out there who had a moment of sad, who "forgot" that one entry had to come last.

Date: 2011-05-26 12:56 pm (UTC)My feedback/focus group thread exists here (http://alephz.livejournal.com/498441.html).
While I process the data that I get from the focus group, I will be chillin' chillin' while I try and figure out what to do while I wait for school to start again.

Well far as I know it'll be the last two weeks on the job...won't know for certain until late next week...

Date: 2011-05-26 01:57 pm (UTC)Then tomorrow I'm going into Troy to visit a VERY long time and old friend from HS for breakfast, get my poor back and neck adjusted by my chiropractor, and watch Pirates of the Caribbean.. not only in 3D but in MOVING theatre seats with my mom and her friend Beth. THEN! It's off to Olive Garden, which is about one of the only foods I can eat yet (I'm not big on biting things like a sandwich, but I'm okay with chewing softer bite sized portions of stuff, and pasta is great for that).
THEN!!!
I spend the night at my mom's house, and go out with my friend Rachel for a mani/pedi and hang out with my friend Gwen for dinner and idle chats.
IT'S GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN!
Oh what? There's other people here that want to talk? Oh... Okay. Well how's YOUR day shaping up? :)

Date: 2011-05-26 02:23 pm (UTC)At least today, i get to work from home for a few hours. Then I'm sleeping at mom's house again tonight so that I can be in Brooklyn early tomorrow morning for Surrogate's Court. Earlier this week, I was stuck in Brooklyn divorce court for an ungodly amount of time, so I'm hoping I won't have a repeat performance.
I was surprised by the entry which wound up in last place from my trio! I'm open to suggestions/con-crit, though I haven't gotten around to posting an entry on my journal for that purpose just yet. I'll get there! At least that's what I keep telling myself about everything in life lately.

Date: 2011-05-26 02:34 pm (UTC)I am totally scrapping my open topic and writing something new. I've basically said all there is to say about that story, there's no wiggle room to retell it. Tae-Kwon-Do Boy was a jerk, he wore a black belt to his first classes for a martial art, and the teacher declared, "If you're gonna wear a black belt, you get treated like one". Then we all got treated to a beatdown. End of the story, really.
So I think my attention span and everyone else's interest will be best served by something new, and I'm cooking up some ideas.

Date: 2011-05-26 03:54 pm (UTC)So I haven't had a chance to solicit for feedback on my entry yet with a post. I'll need to get somewhere with accessible Internet for my laptop which may prove to be difficult. So with that in mind, I'm open to any and all concrit on my "Grip" entry. I'm really not that sensitive, I usually have someone do it for all my entries anyway and always find it helpful. So leave a comment or send me an email or message. It might be hard to really respond from my phone, but I'll do my best :)

Date: 2011-05-26 04:01 pm (UTC)I've never had a pedicure...not once. I want one but can't bring myself to spend the money. I've had two manicures in my entire life...once for this job interview and once after someone gave it to me as a gift for my senior prom. My fingernails aren't very long though and I won't do fake nails. I'm actually considering taking my nieces out for a mani/pedi this week for the older ones graduation. And then I'll get one too since I'll use the "girl bonding" excise for pampering myself :P
