    Hi havent been on for a few days whats going on is everybody jumping ship to a new site ? :(

    Some of the stuff that we were talking about was getting a bit close to breaching the rules of this site, so MG and her lovely webangel have created a new forum specifically for talking about the more in-depth Matrix stuff, with the intention that this thread can deal with the more MSE stuff, challenges etc. Matrix members have all been sent a password to the email address that MG has for them - if you think you should have one check your junk mail folder as a lot have been directed there.

    Maybe you should have my job... I'm a research analyst and I HATE the maths bit - in fact, if you can get yourself over here in the next 20 minutes I have another 50 slides to sort out for tomorrow morning (i.e. in less than 12 hours time) and I have a fantastic suite on the 38th floor overlooking Hong Kong harbour :D

    Oh... and I blagged my way into the job... I had no experience either :p

    See? I told you my job would suit you ;)

    .

    OMG I would be in heaven - Hong Kong, slides I love technical stuff, gadgets, and making presentations, and a bit of Maths thrown in - the only problem is the 20 minute bit :(

    DTxx
  • DT that is fantastic news:T

    vandanfc what a generous gesture:T

    I am in for the 50 day challenge since I was late starting the 100 day challenge will roll them into one I think:D

    In that case I suggest we have a chat sometime, when life is a little calmer... there are lots of routes into this and similar things.

    Claire - take it steady, don't tire your arm out trying to do more fiddly stuff than you are comfortable with in the day. xx

    I will, I just get frustrated when my arm won't do things :( and I still want to.

    Never mind I've got most of the orders done, going to have a rest then try to finish sorting beads out that I haven't got around to yet so I know what beads I need and don't need.

    Although I have just been naughty and bid on a job lot of beads that someone is selling after closing their beaded watch business.
