Angela: Oh sweetie!! Well, I hope you get better soon!! 🙂 Bet you're glad to see your family again, huh? I'm doing okay-ish. Right now, I'm trying to sort things out in my life, so we'll see how that goes :P How about you? I know you're resting from the surgery, but have you had a chance to meet up with old friends? 🙂
Laura: I do! Polly and Ruthie and we’ve just moved house so I get to meet new friends too
Angela: Awww say hello to the girls from me. And - you moved house? (Just you, or your family?)
Laura: Dad got a new job so it’s the family really - just into Yorkshire🙂 of course I’ll say hi to them!
Angela: Oh cool! I mean, assuming you're happy to go... Where in Yorkshire?🙂
Laura: Ripon- it’s very near Harrogate - or about an hour from York
Angela: I'm asking because my friend from Italy recently moved to York (Erasmus program) and I know it's a weird request, but I was wondering if eventually you could meet. I know it's kinda a huge favour that I'm asking - I just thought that it might be nice for her to have someone to talk to, even if you're not exactly in the same place...)
Laura: I would love to! But I know no Italian ... is she at Uni?
Angela: She speaks English (trust me, I know evry little Italian too)
Laura: Haha!
Angela: She's apparently going to the University of York
Laura: Is she there now?
Angela: I think so - she wrote about two weeks ago that she was moving. One sec - I'll check
Angela: Oh - she's moving tomorrow :P So, what do you say? If I let her know and you just happen to be in York some time doing business, you could meet?
Laura: I would adore that! Is she nice?
Angela: She's very nice :D (She's my friend! Of course she's nice!)
Laura: Hahah! Of course! Silly question really... I’m 100% up to meet her
Angela: Okay, I'll let her know :D And thank you - it would mean the world to me to know that she has someone who has her back
Laura: Is she nervous?
Angela: Yeah - she's worried about her written English. I told her to read as much as she can 🙂
Laura: If she would like to practice with me I’d be happy to help!
Angela: Awww Laura - you're amazing! Her name is Caterina and she's pretty cool
Laura: Thank you!
Angela: We were roommates for a week (a running joke between us was how her half of the room would spill onto my side :P)
Laura: You’re wonderfully *Wonderful
Angela: I try ;) I also tried to teach her some english phrases like: thing-majig
Laura: Beautiful English!
Angela: I know! Comes in handy during conversations like: "Where's my thingmajig?" "Oh, it's under the couch next to the thingy" :D I also taught her "weird" and "bizarre" (they're great words :P)
Laura: They are fabulous words. I like flannel
Angela: Flannel's a good word | Laura just moved and Angela wants her to meet with her Italian friend in York. |
#Person1#: I know in your resume that you have worked in your present company for 3 years, can you tell me why you want to leave your present job and join us?
#Person2#: Because the job I am doing in my present company is of no challenge, but I like challenge. Your firm is a young organisation with many innovative ideas. It has been very successful in an expanding market since its establishment 10 years ago. Working for you would be exactly the sort of challenge I am looking for.
#Person1#: Why do you think you are qualified for this position?
#Person2#: I have excellent communication skills and I am familiar with the procedures for the last company I worked for. Besides, I am a team player and have great interpersonal skills. | #Person2# tells #Person1# #Person2# wants to leave #Person2#'s present job because #Person2# wants more challenge which #Person2# sees exactly in #Person1#'s company. #Person2# also explains why #Person2# thinks #Person2# is qualified enough. |
#Person1#: I'll tell you something that's good about action movies. The special effects are great!
#Person2#: But they are so silly! They're not art!
#Person1#: That's just your personal prejudice. Do you know who was the director of the movie Titanic?
#Person2#: James Cameron, of course.
#Person1#: Well, did you know he was also the director of The Terminator?
#Person2#: Well, nobody's perfect! | #Person1# tries to persuade #Person2# action movies are great but #Person2# doesn't buy it. |

Marketing: So evaluation We are going to do it all together so we evaluate each criteria I have got the criterias And we have to do it on a scale of one to seven one being true so it is it is more like it is fits the criteria and seven being as in it does not fit the criteria And the criterias are and I will draw this up on the board so we have a box And this is false this is just like to keep you informed So sevens here and ones here and then you have got in the middle So the first criteria Do you all get what we are doing ? cool first criteria look and feel So the does remote look and feel fashionable to what we talked about ? As it is it colourwise and is it spongy ? So what mark should we give for that ?
Project Manager: I would give it a seven
Marketing: As in it is not A one a one So I will just write criteria criteria one we get one Second criteria new technology Have we implemented new technology ? As in the new hightech
User Interface: That was our main technological innovation w every everything else was fairly simple but the fact that we used the kinetic energy was new
Marketing: So it is So we will give it a
User Interface: but that is not that is that is a design that is a des that is a design thing
Project Manager: but that is not a technological thing that is another thing i that is another marketing thing So on the technical side of it it
Marketing: I would say it is about a a twoish ?
User Interface: It is about in the mid in the middle somewhere maybe I do not know
Marketing: three So criteria three is is it easy to use ? I think it is a one I think
Project Manager: I would say it is I would not not if you are lefthanded it is not I would give it a I would give it a two because i i it i it i it is more geared for righthanded people than lefthanded people but
Marketing: But if we make a righthanded and a lefthanded then ?
User Interface: If we are going to have one lefthanded and one righthanded then I would give it a one but otherwise otherwise a two
Project Manager: Give it a t give it a two
Marketing: Kay criteria four is costs
Project Manager: Cost It is come in under budget So that is a definite one
Marketing: Like the amount of buttons
Project Manager: Contains only the necessary buttons
Marketing: because people like a lot le like So it is a one ? criteria six RSI is it good against ? It is one And criteria seven which is the last one does it get lost ? Is it easy to get lost ?
Project Manager: I do not think it is going to get lost easily
Marketing: No ? But it is smallish
User Interface: It is not the kind of thing that is going to slip like between a couch cushion or something you know Maybe it will
Marketing: Mm I think i it would could be could get lost
User Interface: You think it could lost
Marketing: I mean it is not fully it is not fully like you can not say I mean it is not a one definitely
Project Manager: I mean you could still flush it down the toilet theoretically but
User Interface: anything I mean It is bigger than the average mobile I guess But it can get lost
Marketing: The mobiles get lost all the time But then you ring them and you find them So So that is that So that is the evaluation so I would say Yay | On a scale of one to seven, with one being true and seven being untrue, the remote scored a one for the look and feel unanimous. For new technology and being easy to use, it was given a mark of three and two respectively as kinetic energy was the only technological innovation and the remote was better geared for right-handed people. Next, the cost was given as it was under budget. Then, one was given for RSI and the amount of buttons as there were only necessary buttons. Finally, it scored a two for getting lost easily. |

although the temple is full, no one is speaking and all you can hear are muted scuffling feet.: Fear of the light, if that is indeed what worship of the goddess is. Fear of being made to look a fool if this isn't true.
monk: Being made to look a fool is part of being humble. We must be able to accept, learn, and grow. Do not be afraid to try, even if it is only to fail.
although the temple is full, no one is speaking and all you can hear are muted scuffling feet.: Show me the way monk. I want to learn to be humble. I want to have true joy.
monk: This will be a long journey, but one you will be thankful for. You should start with confronting your regrets. Releasing all that darkness starts from within.

Anne: Well, you certainly managed to upset Renata in that meeting
Sid: No idea why.
Anne: Simply ignored her ideas, treated her like she wasn't there.
Sid: Ideas? What ideas?
Anne: The auction, for example.
Sid: It's all very well talking about having an auction but we haven't got enough artworks for a proper auction, have no idea if we can get enough artists to donate, and what the value of all of this would be.
Anne: I thought it was a good idea.
Sid: And who do we have who would actually do all the work involved? Renata?
Anne: She and other team members.
Sid: To be honest, she will not lift a finger.
Sid: You forgot what happened last year when we were all supposed to come in and clean up the Museum after the repair work?
Anne: True, she didn't turn up
Sid: and didn't even tell us she wouldn't be there.
Anne: Well, she probably will resign from the group now
Sid: Quite frankly, it won't upset me if she does. We need to have people who will do things and not just make work for other people by having "good ideas".
Anne: But the more the merrier, surely?
Sid: I have no interest in a situation where you and I do all the work and other people simply take the credit. I don't find it motivating.
Sid: I don't care if she is offended and I don't care if she leaves.
Anne: But at least she is positive about things and not like that Halina.
Sid: Yes, she is more of a glass half empty than half full person, but she does chip in, if not with time, then with money
Anne: only after making a giant fuss, though.
Sid: I think it's good that she is there, because without her pessimism we probably would have a lot more "good ideas" from Renata. | Sid upset Renata in that meeting. Sid does not care if Renata is offended or if she decides to leave the team. Renata can be unreliable but she has a positive attitude and some good ideas. Halina is more reliable than Renata but has a more negative attitude. |
