Any of you work or have worked for CBA? I’m considering a role there. (Possibly @ozdj @SuzeIngram @MooseGeneral according to @misswired?)

---

@handmethepanda Nope. Just small digital agencies.

---

@handmethepanda I’m aware. I think it would be worth it for the training and experience though. CBA seem to be fantastic for BA’s.

---

@ozdj @SuzeIngram @MooseGeneral @misswired Business Analyst. Just had interview this morning, and they told me on the spot they wanted me!

---

@drkknits @mrs_sockvictim @RoseRed_Shoes The whole pickle thing is my fault, isn’t it? They don’t even know the restaurant was “Big Jones”.

---

Woohoo! @mrs_sockvictim is here, and we’re going to sew, and I’m going to try to relax a bit from work craziness. 🙂

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim I’m quilting instead! I’m a few squares behind in my group. 🙂

---

Hipster lunch with @mrs_sockvictim! (@ Brickfields) [pic]: http://t.co/JxSatZr02g

---

I officially got the details of the second offer. It’s amazing. I’ve just spoken to the State Library and turned them down.

---

OHMYGOD MAGARET STOVE WANTS TO COME TO KG CAMP!! cc @witty_knitter @aunty_toots @ClareLouise1308 @SallyPompom @merrinmez

---

Worst. Bunting. Ever. 🙂 http://t.co/eOJvSqHuOc

---

@knitsch @witty_knitter @aunty_toots @ClareLouise1308 @SallyPompom @merrinmez Obviously we are thrilled, Tash! Will reply soon!! 😉

---

Synchronised sewing machine tweeting!! @mrs_sockvictim http://t.co/DLUDR5ttgx

---

@knitterjp @mrs_sockvictim You can join if you like, but I think we’ll be knocking off in a couple hours…

---

@rowdyrabbit They are indeed! And wow, congrats! The baking scares the crap out of me. What did you enter??

---

@JulieKalitis Thanks. I weighed up pros/cons, but I just couldn’t go past what CBA were offering. I’ve gotta try it out!

---

What a day. I have officially accepted a role as Technical Business Analyst for Commonwealth Bank, starting in two weeks. Let’s celebrate!

---

@liamvhogan Thank you! I’m pretty excited.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes And I’ll get to work with @knitdra when she comes back! (Well, kinda “with”. It’s a big company.)

---

@merrinmez Exactly. I can enjoy it now that I know when it ends. 🙂

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @knitdra Can’t quite believe it either. And wait til you hear about the interview. It was hilarious.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @knitdra Honestly, all my best interviews have been the ones where I honestly didn’t care how it went!

---

So my December 2008 record of 48 hours from layoff to job acceptance still stands as the quickest turnaround. Remember that, @venks79? 🙂

---

@randomknits Um, yes. @mrs_sockvictim and I were discussing a potential visit on Tuesday. 🙂

---

RT @CommBank: @web_goddess Congratulations Kris! We spotted your tweet and just wanted to say we hope you enjoy your new role with us!

---

@CommBank Thank you so much! I’m excited and flattered that CBA wants me on the team. 🙂

---

Having fun and celebratory beers at #webblast! (@ Pumphouse Bar & Restaurant – @pumphousesydney w/ 3 others) http://t.co/TMq8NPLyWt

---

@brown_note Went with CBA. They were excited to hear I’m going to Scrum AU. Win!

---

@brockleyboyo Was for old boss. Called him within 2hrs of redundancy, had interview next day, offer day after. 🙂

---

@drkknits Blue box!!

---

@drkknits That sucks. Glad you’re having some retail therapy.

---

@drkknits @redambition Are you also going to get the K necklace from that designer?

---

@drkknits @redambition Nah, don’t make a special trip!

---

@imdominating @drkknits OH JEEZUS BEEZUS. Truffled breadcrumbs? Yes please!!

---

@drkknits I do enjoy a cobbler myself…

---

@drkknits Denny’s is the bomb.

---

@dancingman I know it’s related to music. I believe I read recently that TMGB’s Istanbul not Constantinople is reminiscent of klezmer music.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits She beat you to that one. Told me over email. 🙂

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits I think for the sake of matrimonial harmony, I’ll get a job before I drop more cash on fabric I don’t need. 🙂

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits I think I’ve got some for it, actually. 🙂

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits Nono, I have a mod large floral graphic print in stash. Will post photo later.

---

Sydney, you are beautiful. @ Darling Harbour http://t.co/XmNc5BfbYM

---

@nehadk Not a photo-bomb – just a selfie! 🙂

---

@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim Basketweaving is still postponed due to lack of interest. I AM MOST PUT OUT.

---

@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim Also, Sew Make Create now advertising workshop to learn to make macrame plant hangers. SO TEMPTED.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim Next Saturday basket weaving will prob. be in May. Will let you know. 🙂

---

Thinking for Colette Laurel. Only 2m so maybe sleeveless… http://t.co/7C9KODVhvq

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @knitabulous @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim We had a macrame owl thing growing up, and I would LOVE TO MAKE ONE MYSELF.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @knitabulous @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim Preferably out of very thick brown cheap-ass acrylic. W00t.

---

@mrs_sockvictim @randomknits @knitabulous @drkknits @rosered_shoes I don’t understand. Why is a cat not walking across them like my house?

---

Got the job offer. That was quick! Decisions…

---

@Illdrinn State Library. I’m very very tempted. Just waiting to hear back on another couple things.

---

@knitabulous I haven’t accepted yet! There are complicating factors…

---

@mrs_sockvictim I have blades if you can wait til tomorrow! 🙂

---

@mrs_sockvictim Nah, not huge. Wheel is 4.5cm diameter.

---

@mrs_sockvictim Woo! I’ve got brand new disk still in packaging. And a HUGE cutting mat!

---

Gertie’s Shirtwaist Dress: 3.6m, tops. Looks like I’ve got enough left over for an apron after all! @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes

---

I will be very happy to lose this mayorship, the sooner the better. (@ The Sports Clinic) http://t.co/2Cq8cj5cvT

---

@chewxy Because we have to have something to look at at the hair salon. Not joking.

---

Setback at physio. Wasn’t ready for squats after all. 🙁

---

@knitdra Is it okay to ring you? Would love to get your advice on job.

---

@lemon_lime @udjamaflip I don’t think there’s much room for negotiating in a government job!

---

@BendalongMorgan Yep. 🙂

---

@drkknits @knitdra @rosered_shoes @knitabulous @mrs_sockvictim Speaking of: what the hell are you doing awake?

---

Waiting for an interview at a bank. Who’s got two thumbs and is a total grown-up? THIS GIRL.

---

Well, goddamn. There’s a second job offer. This complicates things.

---

@drkknits Yep. I told them I had another offer. They asked me to step out for 30 seconds. Said: we’ll be making you an offer today.

---

@drkknits Prob leaning towards CBA. Haven’t got actual offer details yet tho

---

@witty_knitter Yep. @knitdra’s bank. 🙂

---

@codepo8 I was mostly being narky. Still pissed off about this: http://t.co/T3vbvD3HrA

---

Ha. A MeFite made actual Bingo cards for these “Privileged women tell others how they’re doing it wrong” stories. https://t.co/zIOXVcXGeK

---

The gardeners are removing the tile saw! It’s actually happening!

---

@randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes SAVE SOME FOR ME! Hoping a bus here shortly…

---

@drkknits @witty_knitter I read that in Lucille’s voice, of course.

---

@drkknits You have a damn smartphone, woman! Coming up on noon.

---

@drkknits Well, my iPhone has a world clock. I know what time it is EVERYWHERE.

---

Jane failed to stop me buying the most ridiculous fabric ever. @ Calico And Ivy http://t.co/J3k8QbOigP

---

@witty_knitter @RoseRed_Shoes I was actually thinking a 50’s style shirtdress. 🙂

---

@witty_knitter @RoseRed_Shoes See? Now I HAVE to do it. There’s no such thing as “too much.”

---

@arwenamin @witty_knitter @RoseRed_Shoes The background actually is pale pink, btw. It’s ridiculous and I love it.

---

It’s like if Gaston ran a pub in Balmain. (@ The Riverview Hotel) [pic]: http://t.co/qZqqw32cFO

---

@randomknits I’m an INFLUENCER, GODDAMIT. It’ll be all over the runways next season.

---

Walked all the way home from Balmain. Reward time! @ Grand Gelato http://t.co/b0fb6fZF4k

---

@randomknits @knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim I didn’t get any Liberty. Too rich for my blood, and not nearly LAIRY ENOUGH!

---

Waiting for the Snook so we can head off to the Easter Show Arts Preview Night. Oh yes, victory is imminent. I can taste it.

---

@knitdra Ah, that’s why she asked where it was! I would have chipped in. 🙂

---

@knitdra My sis said the same thing. But background is pale pink!

---

@nehadk Actually, I’d like to go! Been meaning to but keep forgetting.

---

@mrs_sockvictim Wait, what? I thought @randomknits said the orange was all gone??

---

@neil_killick I went for the latter. Left corp. IT for 3yr to run knitting shop. Loved it, but eventually came back to IT for $$ (mortgage).

---

@randomknits Zena just posted some pics on Instagram. I see ribbons!!

---

@randomknits I’m still on the damn All Stops train…

---

@mrs_sockvictim Still on the train. Saw pics of Zena’s stuff, @Kat13v looks to have scored a ribbon too!

---

@mrs_sockvictim Both have shared them to FB!

---

@nehadk Damn. Thursdays are my worst days next 2 weeks! Maybe weekend then?

---

@lemon_lime @webblastsyd Me and @the_snook…

---

@randomknits @Alacaeriel Did Reecie win again? I’m still stuck on the damn train…

---

@randomknits Stopped in at Sew Make Create on my way home. She flipped out when I said you were closing. Expect a visit!

---

Achievement unlocked: blue ribbon for my vest! http://t.co/cJKONUa17E

---

And a second for my QR code mittens! http://t.co/7XEttkqWFw

---

Did anybody else have “Kris wins a blue ribbon” on their Easter Show Bingo card? No? Just me then? #suckithaters

---

@neil_killick I do! Just won a blue ribbon for it at the Easter Show. 🙂

---

Lace won by Helene Taylor and Mark Eagleton. http://t.co/QFQX3cLzVF http://t.co/t8HZUCJOK2

---

It appears my nemesis @miss_reecie has defeated me. Well done! http://t.co/RsoRNJtZcu

---

@randomknits You are asking the wrong frickin person.

---

@neil_killick Sure! But my hourly rate is high and I suck at estimating. 🙂

---

@randomknits Meh. It was 20 minutes of looking at knitting and then a lot of small talk. You didn’t miss much!

---

@randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes got a 1st!! and some 3rds, @knitabulous got a 3rd too!

---

@clepetit Thank god. I might actually stand a chance of catching you then.

---

@Alacaeriel @randomknits @miss_reecie @redambition Yes, I heard judges moved both shawls out of beaded.

---

@clepetit I did 15K today and it nearly killed me. I don’t know how you hit 25K+.

---

@randomknits I like a leather “thimble” for handquilting. Protects my finger but gives a bit more feeling and control!

---

RT @eileenDCoE: So proud of @web_goddess for her Easter Show victory!! // YAY! I’m so excited you’ll get to see it in person next week! 🙂

---

@Justacogitating According to the apprentice judge I spoke to, they actually “got” it. That was my biggest worry!

---

@randomknits Mine was just a crappy Birch one I got at TC. I totally destroyed it on my first quilt, which is why it has 2 blood spots.

---

@GeorgieKnits Thank you!

---

@Helen__H Hahahaha, thanks. I’m just glad that the concept was so well received by everybody!

---

@lifeasdaddy Thank you thank you!

---

@drkknits Too true! I should have given you credit. I think I did on the blog post though… 🙂

---

@mmastertheone @pinkcatknits @miss_reecie Thank you thank you!

---

@pyko @Yarna_ @gemma747 Thank you!

---

@messicat Hahaha, you made me LOL during the Arts Preview. 😛

---

@stringy Thank you!

---

@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes BEGINNER’S LUCK! Well, somebody had to say it. Although somewhat mitigated by legitimate crochet awesomeness. 😛

---

@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Definitely. I saw many things that I’d actually wear. And the crochet toys were straight-up BETTER than knitted.

---

@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Although that may be because Jean Greenhowe never designed any fucking crochet clowns.

---

@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Yep. Same old Santa and Mrs Claus. But there were other cooler things too. I liked @Kat13v’s “Dr Whooves” a lot!

---

@drkknits Facebook and Twitter are frenemies.

---

@jannism I saw that a few times in the past couple hours.

---

RT @ColettePatterns: Today on the blog: Introducing Laurel http://t.co/f9Jzbc6xxm // Purchased! And I’ve got the PERFECT fabric for it!

---

@jojoconstance Definitely! Then go get some group shots in front of the Opera House or something. @colettepatterns would love that!

---

@redambition Hahaha, I saw that category too. I said to Rodd: That category is RIPE FOR THE PICKING.

---

Well, it looks like one job offer may be incoming today. Decisions, decisions, decisions…

---

@venks79 I have this thing where sometimes I have no confidence in myself. I’m trying hard to fight it. But yeah, sometimes.
