You are the Phoenician Alphabet! Teacher of the Greeks and Etruscans, you are the one all languages bow down to. That is, until the Romans decide to wipe out your civilization. That's the way the cookie crumbles.

On Vox: Meme-ish thing
[info]rotheche

20 Years Ago, I...
... looking at my final exams in high school, which were going to be starting in six weeks or so.  This was causing me a certain amount of panic, because I hadn't actually done any study by that stage.  I never actually did that much in the way of revision/homework/study, since I have a chronic case of lazy at things like that.  I got marks that put me at the higher end of the 'average' range; if I'd actually done some work, I might have actually had some good marks.

Mind you, after I got my first job, I don't think anyone ever looked at my HSC marks again.  The marks I got were enough to get me accepted to university, not that I ended up going.

15 Years Ago, I...
... had chucked in my first job (in the public service) and had gone to radio school, and was in my first radio job, working at 2NM, Muswellbrook.

10 Years Ago, I...
... was still in commercial radio, but I'd moved on from New South Wales to South Australia, and then on to Victoria. By this time, I'd been an announcer, a copywriter, a journo (not a good one), and a program director for the first time (again, not a good one.  The second time I had a go at the role, I did much better - see, I do learn from mistakes.  Sometimes, at least).

5 Years Ago, I...
... had just made the move from commercial radio to the ABC, where I'm working now, as a producer.  It was the first time in my radio career that I wasn't on air - and that suited me fine.  I still have no inclination to go back on air on a regular basis; I'm much happier doing what I'm doing now, and I think I'm better value to the organisation this way.

Also five years ago, I had just begun talking to the man who would later become my husband.  Guess which one I think is the highlight *grin*

2 Years Ago, I...
... had switched from producing radio to being a half-and-half between radio and online, and started to get into photography as a serious hobby.

1 Year Ago, I...
... was changing to being a full-time online producer and field reporter.

So Far This Year, I've...
... picked out new fish for the tank, bought at least two coffee makers (they keep breaking), bought a new car (new to us, at least), gone on holiday to the Gold Coast, done three online outside broadcasts, lost (and kept off) roughly 19 kilos.  Kept busy, you could say.

Yesterday, I...
... went to work, did lots of work, went to another local animal shelter for a story, put in a leave form for when the in-laws are here in late November, came home, cooked dinner (chicken patties with vegies for my husband, chicken patties in burgers for me), finished up reading Archangel by Robert Harris, did some work on my reading website.

Today, I...
... went to work, did some grocery shopping on the way home, picked up Serenity on DVD, plus some X Files DVDs too, procrastinated on going to the gym, did a bit of work on the DragonRiders website, started reading Bag of Bones by Stephen King.  I'm not cooking dinner; my husband's going to go into town to pick up some fish and chips.

Tomorrow, I'll...
... call our favourite local steakhouse, Happy Jack's, because my folks are going to Melbourne this weekend, and coming back via our place on Sunday night.  We'll take them to dinner at Happy Jack's - great steaks there.  Apart from that, I'll sleep in, read some, cook something for dinner, play some GuildWars, probably watch some Firefly or X Files on DVD, play with the cats.  Tough, tough day.

On Vox: Dream homes
[info]rotheche
Your home is a

Philanthropic Gamer's Mansion

                        
Your kitchen is stocked with chips, dips, and assorted caffeinated beverages. There's a pantry with emergency backup caffeinated beverages. You also have some breakfast cereals in there, but you haven't had breakfast since last Spring. Your master bedroom has blankets printed with images of Mario and Link. Your study includes unread copies of various gamer magazines, each purchased for the free demo CDs. One of your garages holds your collection of ferraris, and is measured in acreage.

Your home also includes a guest wing and private quarters for your servants. Your guests enjoy your collection of every console and associated game ever made. Except the Intellivision -- those controllers drive them NUTS. Outside is your hedge maze and gardens, meticulously tended by a team of world-class botanists.

And, you have a pet -- a koopa named "Shelly".

Below is a snippet of the blueprints:
