One of the ring links I clicked on specified that it only came in some particular size. Disremember where though, or which size.

There's one I quite like, but it doesn't seem to asking for size info. Is it gonna come up after payment page, or would I be risking a ring that won't fit my not-precisely-svelte digits?

They should say what size it is on the info sheet. Is it the smoky quartz? That one's a 6. They only offer 1 size at a time.

(The mother of pearl one is listed at ~7.5)

I bought earrings. I am weak, and they were pretty.

Trillian-cut garnet. I think I may go ahead and risk it, because my lovely friend H lusts for red stones in silver settings, so if it doesn't fit me, it will probably look great on her long, slender fingers. And she's worth the $6 risk. (I'm already past the info page and it's timed out by now, so if I go back I'm sure I'll lose it).

So here are the ten largest urban areas in the European Union (Moscow would be #1 if if were included)

1 Paris, France 10,136,000
2 London, United Kingdom 8,505,000
3 Madrid, Spain 5,561,748
4 Ruhr area, Germany 5,317,565
5 Barcelona, Spain 5,082,126
6 Milan, Italy 4,282,000
7 Berlin, Germany 3,675,000
8 Upper Silesian Metropolitan Area, Poland 3,487,000
9 Rotterdam-The Hague, Netherlands 3,345,000
10 Athens, Greece 3,247,000

I had never heard of the Ruhr area before. Apparently it's like 12 German industrial cities that slowly grew together. I don't know much about the Upper Silesian area either.

Trillian-cut garnet.

That one was a size 5.

Upper Silesian Metropolitan Area, Poland

The Lower Silesian Metropolitan Area is so much cooler....

That one was a size 5.

I'm pretty sure even my pinky's about a 7. Ah, well. Guess H is in for some extra sparkle for her b-day next month.

So they want me to come interview for the job tomorrow at 4.

After hearing a little more, I'm leaning even more towards this is a test interview sort of deal. They have 10 different sites throughout the city I would be supporting. Bleh. Having a long commute is bad enough. Requiring me to travel around once in the city pretty much pushes this into the too much hassle for what it's worth pile.

Of course, I could be wrong and they'll wow me. We'll see.

Even more fun, to make a 4pm appointment via the train means either leaving from the local station at 1pm or driving to the next station down the line (about 20 minutes drive) and getting on a 2pm train. But after driving home in rush hour yesterday, I'm not keen on repeating it or putting myself at the whims of the parking gods again, since I pretty much lucked out yesterday.

Kalshane, you're taking Metra, right?
