Sometimes, life is awesome.

Because I am useless at talking about RL, I've not yet mentioned that I volunteer at the local community centre once a week, doing admin support stuff. (Lovely place, nice people, new things to learn, looks great on my CV!)

Now a few weeks ago I thought I'd hit the pinnacle of delight, since they 'paid' me in potatoes! (5 kgs. Nice.)

Today, however, I MADE A DALEK! There will be photos tomorrow, oh yes.


(Darn I wish they could afford to employ me properly...)

Good practice, looks good on the CV (which I think is what I'd call a resume, right?) and they "pay" you in potatoes. Sounds good to me even without the dalek!

IKR? It's all ♥

(The potatoes came about because they have a cafe, but since it was Friday they had two bags that they wouldn't be able to use, so were literally giving them away to whoever wanted them.)

Awesome! I made one out of things I found around the office a while back during a lull of procrastination code-compiling at work. We should start a guild!

So basically you're Davros.

That's pretty awesome.

Please don't exterminate me.

My girls' reaction: "That is SO COOL!" *flail*

And a guild sounds great! :)

Heeeeee! My Daleks are lacking the soft chewy centre though...

Thanks! I posted the ingredients on the crafty_tardis website back when I first made it, but for the curious they are: cut-up eraser refills, bowl of a plastic spoon, more erasers and a thumbtack, some plastic fork tines, tape and some cut-up shiny black matte paper, a yoplait yogurt cup, a coffee sleeve, post-it notes, a drink stirrer with some tape and blue marker on it, a finger cot swiped from the first aid kit, a binder clip, paper clips, pennies and a twist tie. Put together with lots of Scotch tape, some more thumbtacks, more eraser pieces and paper clips on the inside.

I put it together in november of 2009 and it's still in one piece, guarding the shelf above my desk at work :)

Hee! Welcome to the ranks of Dalek creation. I totally want to see pictures. Of course since I haven't gotten around to posting pictures of mine yet, I can't clamor too much.

Potato salad for everyone!

There would have been pictures today, except my camera didn't have any memory left. Ah well, there's tomorrow...

(And I love to see photos of yours!)

[elisi]

Well if they're ever bored on a rainy day, I'll tell them to make Daleks. :)
