Green Room - Week 13 - Weekend Edition

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It used to be that if I were even a little bit late posting a Green Room, people would be upset. If there was a day when one didn't go up at all, I'd have a dozen emails, at least.

I got completely swamped at work and life in general has been pretty overwhelming - and 1 person checked in on me. Thank you to that person. :)

I'm doing OK.

How are you?

It also occurs to me that part of the reason for that email was because most of us were already friends. Whereas, even 13 weeks in there are people that I'm not certain actually know each other very well.

So how about it? What are some stuff about you that folks might be surprised to learn? (that you feel like sharing)

Or just ask something you'd really like to know about your fellow contestants! (and those lurking)

People might be surprised to learn that the Second Chance poll is up: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/996359.html and that the main competition topic is up as well: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/997016.html But that would just prove they haven't really been paying attention. Because I've mentioned those things before!

We only have to write one entry per week, and you write one every day, which is amazing (and not very comprehensible :-) ) so that, added to the time difference (I still, after 4 major seasons, am not sure when in the day you usually post, and suspect it is "whenever you have time") means that so long as there is a Green Room most days, I don't worry.

I definitely do not consider most contestants friends, it takes quite a few one-on-one interactions to happen, but quite a few have become friendly acquaintances, which is very nice.


Well, I am swamped. I have a new position at work, a was just made the scientific secretary of our department (not sure what the equivalent would be in the English a speaking word). Basically, I have to learn what all work groups are doing, yesterday, and also next week I start organizing a local conference which is basically telling a lot of young people "you're it. Come out hear and tell everyone what your group is doing" (the conference is made specifically so that newer colleagues have a chance at public sparking in a friendly-errrr situation).

I will have to be forceful about it, coz some of them would be afreaid to come out and play. So to answer Gary's question, older colleagues worry I don't have enough steel in my spine yet for this. What they don't know is that things have changed. But fingers crossed that they have changed enough, this is my first test.
