Thank you!

I am blogging at lunch again.

As is typical of me, I didn't notice that my blog has hit 10000 views until days later. Thank you for reading my nonsenseattempts at writing, whoever you are! :D

I know I have not been blogging much of SL lately and I would really like to do so more often, but I doubt you want to keep reading about me gushing over an 8-traited kitten with mysterious everything! And a chiffon peacock egg! Woot woot, how cool are those?? Aside from breeding, I did some building too but was too lazy to take pictures. Still, come visit Coriander Cooperative! We have new stuff! (And pardon the mess. It happens.)

SL is as restful as it was meant to be, but RL is definitely more interesting right now. I am sitting calmly at my desk (shoeless again because transparent lizards can only traumatise me for so long), munching my lunch, sipping milk tea and listening out very calmly. Someone is literally losing it and screaming everybody's heads off in a meeting room nearby. Someone else has consulted a psychiatrist, contacted the security and activated an ambulance. Everyone lucky enough not to have to be trapped in the meeting is gathered outside the room, ready to spring. They have been ready for the past hour. Oh, I just wonder what is going to happen next. And whether it will disrupt my scheduled boring meeting with an external consultant later. I hope so.

Speaking of which, I better get back to work.

Boo! (a few updates... and whining)

So, yup. RLife and SLife are pretty exciting at the moment, and I thought I should let you know that I am still alive by rantingsharing some of it.

By exciting, I meant that I have moved in SL. All at once. My home has moved! My shop has moved! My cat stall at Juice Berry Farms has moved! (Just next door. Don't ask.) My cat stall at Alley Cats has moved! (Not that I had ever mention I have one. Now you know.) Come visit me here! And here! And here! And... I forgot to get a LM for Alley Cats. I'll update that into my sidebar when I get to it.

So you see, I am basically all over the place now. Another word for "exciting" is probably "stressful". I have insomnia at night (yes, only at night), so I lay awake hyperventilating and planning pixels. And control charts. Which brings us (not very smoothly) to what is so stressfulexciting in my RL.

I have recently been tasked to do up some serious charting at work in RL. It is so important that everyone in my department were told to leave me alone so that I can churn out charts in peace and in (very limited) time for my boss's boss's boss.

We are talking some 86721134354 charts using all kinds of formulae. Such as UCLp=p-bar+3(p-bar(1-p-bar))^(1/2)/(n-bar)^(1/2), if the samples are not necessarily of constant size and if n-bar-20%<=n<=n-bar+20%. If it is rejected because my boss's boss's boss does not want non-compliance charting, then the formula will be based on UCLx=x-bar+E2mr-bar, because UCLx-bar=x-barbar+A2r-bar does not work as r and r-bar cannot be 0 for the chart to work.

It's not that difficult.

I am only stuck at trying to figure out why the hell n=2 (not the same n in the previous formula) and how the hell I know n=2. But I know.

The problem is, there was no way I could have gotten out of this because:
1. When our consultant trainer taught us the charts, I didn't fall asleep as I should.
2. I pretended I knew what he was blabbering about by asking questions that probably sounded intelligent. If I were really intelligent, I would have known to shut up.
3. I have a degree in mathematics, and an A-Level in statistics. Not that I remember a thing my lecturers lectured. Now that I think about it, I wonder how I passed my exams.

So I have been charting for about a week. I am now at chart no.1.

And I end up staring at the computer screen and then blogging.

And no, this is not part of the exciting plan I was talking about in the previous post.

Karen and I had an argument. :p

The first week we opened our mainstore, I wanted a crazy! stupid! mega! sale! and she didn't. So she gave in.

The second week, she wanted a crazy! stupid! mega! sale! and I didn't. So she gave in.

(Are we seeing a pattern here or is it just me?)

I suppose you may be wondering why we are still besties. It is because we practiced yoga while we were arguing.


Not really. It is only because she is awesome. *hugs*

Coriander Cooperative Mainstore is Open!

And I am sleepy. I should stop blogging on Mondays. I mean, blogging on Mondays used to be a cheer from the worst day of my week. Nowadays my brain, if I have any left, is just dead on this day.

I've digressed.

Here's a picture of our shop.

It's in Eturnal Night, right next to the...

graveyard.

What? I am a vampire!

We have a sale this week! And cute stuff! CLICK HERE! And erm, read Karen's notecard! (There is a reason why I am not the marketing officer for my business.)

I am stalling.

It has been a crazy time but I am not ready yet.

Hint of what I was doing is in this pic.

Business Lessons

1. Do NOT pay someone else's rent by mistake.

2. It helps to read their names first before you start blabbering things to the wrong person in IM.

3. Spell people's names correctly, for goodness sake.

4. Decorating your stall in green and talking to your RL dog about vegetables (don't ask) at the same time ends up with you thinking of vegetables everytime you look at your greenish stall. And of course, it doesn't help that your business is named as a vegetable in the first place.

5. Do not tell your customers that prices are negotiable until you learn the art and skill of negotiation.

6. Just keep quiet and let Karen do the talking.

We rented a stall!

Welcome to our (half-empty) stall!
Click Here! Click Here!

It's only set up halfway but there are some cats for sale. I would tell you more but right now I am at work and downright exhausted. It has something to do with a blue Monday. Come visit anyway.

I am getting serious.

Yeah. Seriously.

Karen and I have decided to set up shop. We will be selling KittyCatS and various other things that we made. But for now it is only cats, and more cats.

We have not decided to get a real shop in-world yet. Very likely we will start with a kitty stall and the marketplace. We will also be posting our sale items on our blog. Do visit regularly for our goodies!
