h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Very, very, amazingly, totally, utterly and completely boring. I had double biology first, which always seems to take far longer than it should do...then I almost fell asleep in physics (I wonder why), after having nothing to do for the previous 3 hours (inc. lunch)

How was uni?

I fell asleep during the morning , then spent all afternoon here.

I did get a response from Peta though She saw my chat-up lines page and will be sending more people that way.

Good
It might be nice to hear some good ones for a change

At least *you* could sleep this morning - lucky bugger

There's one there now. it's cumbersome to put in though.

I just checked, It's on the fornt page!!!!!!!

My first entry to get a mention there!!!!!

I'm excited!!!!!!!


Can you tell!!!!!!!!

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm happy for you!!!!!

Thanks , that's a lot of smileys.

Just trying to get across how happy I am for you

It worked.

Now I have to wait for one of my entries to be approved

How long ago did you first submit one?

The day I arrived, 14 1/2 weeks ago. I expect it has gone to the subbing process at the moment. The articles approved for today are about 200 ahead in the entry numbers but, as not everyone submits those articles and homepages also count, it shouldn't be too much longer, hopefully.

Not too long to wait, hopefully

Peta told someone else that the queue's down to about ten weeks, with the new deputy editor working now and they're thinking of expanding the five-a-day guarantee to get through more entries. Which means some of my other articles shouldn't have to wait as long. Christmas probably didn't help getting them moved through. But I'm not too bothered so long as they get seen within the year.

I'm sure they will be

So am I which is why I'm relaxed about it. Compare that to one person who was waiting 7 1/2 _months_ for an entry to be seen.

That's a *very* long time...

There were complaints. Which is how I found out. They lost it in moving offices or something.

I'm not surprised after that amount of time.

People appear to get antsy around 18-20 weeks or when their later entries get approved first.

I can see why.
