Yay for making it back stringer!

Go unky go!

Deadly tat bella!

Phew!

High fives and scoby snacks all round.

Morning folks. Does this happen to you guys... When you have to work or go to school, and that alarm clock goes off at 6:30 you just want to throw it out the window. You're so tired you actually lay in bed and contemplate calling in dead. Then when you are on break you automatically wake up at 6:30 and can NOT go back to sleep for the life of you?

Yep and yep..

Yesterday was st patricks day, so no work for me, today is an annual leave day and so is Monday... 5 days work free.

Grr so frustrating. I'm sitting here watching the news net because there is absolutely nothing else on. I suppose I could clean E's room... Oh well I guess my routine won't be totally messed up for when I go back to school on Monday.

Hello?

Hey Adam! :)

As for the news, I got a job, not a big deal; helping an accountant with filing, and making cheques, etc.

But then, I just got a scholarship for Ersnt and Young, a Finance and Accounting degree which will be paid by the company and which starts on the 1st of April. So... I'll have to quit my new job soon.

Congrats Unky!

Hope everything works out OK for you.

Thanks, I hope too. :)

How are you doing there in the States? :)

Not to bad. Had a bad past few days. Backed my car into another vehicle the other night and that is about enough to ruin ones day but talked to my insurance company and it seems nothing will happen of it. No damage to either vehicle.

Ah, that's fortunate that you're both safe and that there are no damage. Indeed, today my mum got the car for servicing (is that how you call it? I would think so since we use the english word) and it takes from 9 am to 5 pm, so much waiting. Well, there were applications to be done (we're applying for Chinese scholarships right now, after Singapores') and a lot of hassle around, this document missing, this document needs to be checked by a notary (or something like that), that document should not be hand written... bah, a lot of stress around.

Got everything settled and hopefully, things will get better tomorrow, since the place for submitting the admissions closes at 12.20.

Otherwise, it would have taken 3 days to get the notary and the documents ready >.< We were fortunate that my uncle could have the things settled today itself.

YIPPPEEE! Congrats Unky! Way to go Buddy! That's exciting news my friend.

You know what suck?

Having a scheduled a$$ chewing.

My boss is ticked off about something and said he needs to talk to us at 2:30 this afternoon.
So no for the next couple of hours I get to look forward to this a$$ chewing.

So if any of you happen to glance at your clock around 2:30, you can laugh and know that adam is getting yelled at.

:(

I agree Bear, I agree

Bummer Adam. Hope it's not too bad. :(

I hope not either. He just got here a few minutes ago and seemed in an OK mood but that will change around 2:30 I am sure. I think it is just a vicious yelling circle. Ya know the one that goes from president of the company down to his lower employee, then from that boss to their employee then from that boss to their employee and so on until it reaches me and I have nobody to yell at so I guess it end at me. So more like a vicious line or pyramid.

Where is everyone? I just got back from doing a project for a couple of weeks in L.A. and wanted to say hi.

Unky, I read about your offer with Ernst & Young. That is terrific. I have more to add on this so I'll send you a message when I have time. Congrats on the opportunity!

Hi Jlo :)

Hey Jlo, have a safe trip! Talk to you soon.

Hey Bear! :)

Hi Bella :)

Hey to whoever is around.

Hi Adam :)

Hi Bear and Adam! :)

Today was my last day at my trainee work, and tomorrow will be more serious work. I feel a little giddy about getting my first pay :o

Hi Unky :)

Nice, best of luck

And don't worry, payday is the best bit :D

Well, I was a little uneasy that the one at my job gave me a fung pao (spelt foong pa-ow) which contained a little more than twice the pay I got :eek:

Glad all is going well Unky.

Hey Bear!

What's a fung pao? is it like a pay slip?

Hi Adam :)

Hello to all those people I haven't chatted to for a while.
Did you have rice with that Unky?

Hi QP :)

A fung pao, by definition is a red envelope that adults give to children on new year, the envelope containing money.

And no QP, we don't have rice in envelope, though I think they used boiled rice as glue at some point in time, to seal the envelopes. :p

What happened to Sunflower. I haven't seen her around lately.

Tick

Howdy ho

Ooh, nice tradition. :)

Quick question:

What are some pros and cons of sleeping with a very attractive porn star?

Is this a fantasy or a reality Adam?? :)

I agree with Tick, where has Sunny been?

It is a possible reality. Just thinking hard about it.

Quick question:

What are some pros and cons of sleeping with a very attractive porn star?

Don't know... never had the chance.

It is actually driving me crazy.

Well most porn stars have to be tested for STD's on a reg basis, so that's a pro for sure, also I bet she knows all kinds of freaky movies, so again a pro, but remember, she is a professional faker...

Ha ha... you funeeee lady!! :)

Well very good points. Thanks everyone,

Go for it, the more you experience in life the more you get out of it :)

The closest I ever got to a porn star was I got to fondle a famous porn stars rather ample boobs many, many years ago.

I'd have hopped in the sack in a second... but that was never an option.

Kind of a golden opportunity here then I guess. Well if I didn't miss the chance I will go for it.

Well that's an interesting conversation I find myself dropping into! Err will you be reporting back adam?

I think it's spring time now:):) I want sunshine... Good morning!

Afternoon Starty pants :)

We've been getting plenty of sun over here, proper beer garden weather ;)

Bear you are a booger... hand it over!

Hey people! :)

It's summer, and winter coming soon here (only summer and winter here)

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening!

Boo!

boo!

And just where have you been lady??

And just where have you been lady???

Who me?
Oh just busy I guess. Doing other things.
How are you Stringer?

This is off the wall but guess who I am related to? Madonna. Lol Yep.
My brother does a family tree and it goes back super far. We are related to her. Of course I am sure we are all related to someone of her status. But I am thinking I could call her for a reunion. Haha Just being smart.

I'd call her for a loan. :)

Good one! A loan. Heck I would just love to meet her. Her talent certainly doesn't trickle this far down in the family. Although my son has it a little. He is the next John Travolta.

Well I hope your well. Tell everyone hello. Wait, hello everyone!
I am out for now. My little mans last day of vacation so I want to spend some time with him. So nice talking with you even briefly.

Here too... how about coming by for a visit more often... it is your thread you know... :)

Peek a boo

Hey Sarah! It's been a long while :)

Hey Sarah and Unky,

It has been so dead around here lately. What is happening with everyone? I hope all is well.

Hey Adam and Smoothy! :)

I'm getting busy with work. Starting at 8.30 (officially, but with the traffic I get at 8.45 most of the time) and ends at 5.15 (again, with traffic, I arrive home at about 6.45 pm).

Then, I get on forums (excluding time for dinner, shower and stuff), then to IRC where I'm working on a bot (which is a program which runs on a server) and helped by some friends.

Well, yesterday I added a script which tells the bot to display the time and date at a particular location on the globe by typing in

.tz location

Where tz means timezone and the location can be Mauritius, New York, London, etc.

My bot for the time being can also host an uno game and work out the scores, save them up, set a ranking table with number of wins and total points, etc.

I still have a lot to read on how to activate more options and make the bot run faster.

Well welcome to the working world. Not at all like school. I personally like working better than attending school. Particularly once you get comfortable in the new job. But not everyone feels that way.

Thanks!

Indeed, I like it a tad more for the time being because I don't have my homework to do XD

Well, that might change in some time since some of my colleagues are taking some of their work home so that they complete the job on time.

In some way, I have more time than before, but then, I'm also doing (trying to do) more things than before... oh well. :o

Ooooh where are you working Unky?: Sorry if you have already said, congrats on getting a job :)

Well welcome to the working world. Not at all like school. I personally like working better than attending school. Particularly once you get comfortable in the new job. But not everyone feels that way.

I agree.

Oh it so is, massive popularity contest, little clicks, how you dress and what things you have still matter, boss'(teachers) have their favourites, there's still those tossers that have a go every chance they get.

Only differences I can see are that its more difficult and your getting paid to be unhappy this time around.

That is awesome :D

Hey peeps! Congrats on the new job Unky! I know you will do great.
I already mentioned this on a another thread, but thought I'd say it here too! I got accepted into the school of my choice to take the vet tech course this September! I am so excited!

So how is everyone doing? Long time no chat!

Congratulations bella :D

Not at the better places to work. I've found you have less of that sort of thing as the work environment INCREASES in professionalism (I.E. technical sophistication).

Where I work and what I do you would never get to do as an entry level person. You have to have years in the field to even be considered for an interview... much less get hired. You don't see those sorts of games as a result here. But I do know you do have those sorts of games some places. The closer you get to where a trained monkey can do the job... the more you get that sort of thing. But even there... the better places won't tolerate that sort of thing because it hurts productivity by fostering a hostile environment.

At least within the scope of personal experience of places I have worked.

Thanks guys! :)

Bear, I have totally worked at those jobs. My last job at the accounting firm totally SUCKED. Put me in a really bad place in my life. Took a long time to get out of it. High school was much the same at times. I had lots of friends, but one day everyone is friends, the next it's a massive fight.

I do enjoy going to school with adults, there is still the drama and the silliness, but it's more controlled. I have worked at good jobs where, maybe I was a favorite, but I was just treated so well. I actually enjoyed going to work each day. I wish I didn't have to move away and start a new job.

I hear that from people at work as well, saying the sort of crap that happens where we work wouldn't happen at more professional buisnesses.

So glad you got out of it Bella :)

Hopefully this new job will be one of the good ones :)

Ernst & Young is the name of the company :) I hear it's the leading company in terms of advisory services. I just got in and the fact that I'm rusty in accounting... I will need to study more to get my ACCA exams done well (that's an accounting exam, Google gives plenty of links).

I'm a junior for the time being and I'm on my first job, that's where a little group from the firm internal advisory department visits a company and assess the financial risks involved, advising where necessary of what to do to minimise those risks.

That's great Unky, much better than most peoples first jobs, well done!
You're going to go a long way kiddo.

I hope I'll be able to hang on this one. I had a colleague who joined at the same time as myself, but he just submitted his request for transfer yesterday... :(

Well, he said that internal audit wasn't really his 'thing' and that he would be better at the Transactions department. Well, thing is... the department there just recruited on January and it's not likely that he'll get a place there... and now that he submitted his transfer, if he doesn't get the place there, he won't be able to come back. That's really sad, because he had very good qualifications :( (A BSc, an MSc, ACCA 3 and 5 years of experience in banking)

That's one of the things you learn in the work force... choose your moves carefully... because if you make a bad move... you can't always go back... and even if they will take you back... you won't be viewed or treated the same.

Well, it just makes me a little sad... he's a good person, been friendly and all, but I guess that the current job is not the one he finds himself to fit into. If he likes where he goes, I can only be glad.

But as for me, I like it where I am. I will get to travel a lot when I go up the levels in the job :)

Hi I'm back-- how's everyone doing? Where's Alty? KC tiger? KP?

Fill be in on the details :-D

I see Unk, Smoothy and Sunny are still here :-D Oh Bear, Shaz and Adam too ;-)

Yeah... still around. Plan to be for a long time too.

Uhhh nice to see you too Muddy... :cool:

Uhhh nice to see you too Muddy... :cool:

:-) Thanks!

Man I have been so friggen stressed lately. Three classes, 8 hour full time job... being a mom, keeping house-- bills :-(


Sometimes all I want to do is hide in my bed and cry. Ahh!

How do you guys deal with stress?

Hey Muddy, sorry to hear of all your stress. It is never healthy to be under all that stress. I usually am but I smoke and that helps a lot but I definitely wouldn't recommend it but I am sure you never would anyway.

Hey Muddy, sorry to hear of all your stress. It is never healthy to be under all that stress. I usually am but I smoke and that helps alot but I definitely wouldn't recommend it but I am sure you never would anyway.

I used to do that.. on occasion type thing but now I definitely don't do it, I think it's been a year or so since I've last had a cigarette ;)


But ahh what I've been doing is crying haha that's my release cry, scream, punch the couch and then in an hour or two I'm over it. :p

Hey, congrats on getting over tobacco Sarah! :)

Well, I'm not very much subjected to stress right now. Even at work, the pace suits me, lol. Maybe by the end of the year, I'll be stressed like never before :eek: (Work + studies + Exams)

Anyway, I hope all else is fine :)

Hi everyone

May the 4th be with you :D

hi everyone

may the 4th be with you :d

:-D hehehe!

Daww I missed the international Star Wars day here :(

Don't worry about it Unky :)

Well, today is Sinko-de-mayo :D

Sinko-de- wha? :confused:

Sinko-de- wha? :confused:

Cinco de Mayo - May 5th. It's a holiday to celebrate Mexican heritage and pride, and we celebrate it in the U.S. I'm going to a Mexican lunch with a bunch of friends from work. Margaritas - here we come! :D

Ah! Sounds like fun! :)

Nachos too are mexican, right?

Ah! Sounds like fun! :)

Nachos too are mexican, right?

Yes, nachos are also Mexican. The restaurant we are going to has the best nachos. Okay, maybe I'll have some nachos with my margarita. :p

Lol, I say... have a good meal, that certainly sounds hmmm yummy! :p

Picture a sink... and a JAR of Mayonnaise with Sinko-De-Mayo super imposed, That's what I was hinting at.

Happy Mother's Day girls. I hope it's a great one for you all.

Thanks... :) It is an absolutely beautiful day here. Sunny and cool this morning, due to warm up nicely this afternoon. Already went biking through the park with one of my daughters early this morning. Too bad I have plenty of school work to do, but I will definitely be sneaking in some fun as well... :)

Its been a wonderful day here. A nice breakfast. Although my little man reminded the hubby it was rude I had to clean up the mess today. To cute. I love nature and I make a beautiful area for feeding birds. So they bought me a new bird bath, lots of bird food, a new lounge chair and some cute sandles. Of course some cute hand made things from school also. Those are always my favorites.

Happy mother's Day to all the moms out there!

Agreed, Mothers are awesome and deffiently deserve their designated day :D

A mother-in-law can be awesome, too. We're having my mil and the rest of the family over today for a BBQ. It's going to be a little chilly today (high 50's) so we'll eat inside, but it will still be nice.

Sunny, sounds like a great start to your day. :)

JLo I agree with the MIL comment. I hate to put this in writing but I loved mine more then my own mother. She was an amazing person. There is an angel out there named Ivah looking over us today.

Well, I wouldn't go that far ;) but I do feel quite lucky to have my mil, as well as the rest of his family.

So, Sunny, are you back working again? I'm leaving my current job in about 2 weeks and starting a new one in July.

I could go on for pages about my mother. Not the worse one in the world but I have to say I do hang my head when people ask who my parents are. Hats off to a great dad. Just a not so great mom.

I am not working right now. I have had a couple interviews. One job I turned down the other I wasn't offered. I am having some terrible times with this because I love working and here I am at home doing nothing. I have two friends who have had promotions since I have been laid off. Brings me down. I am honestly not in a good spot emotionally right now. But on the brighter side its been amazing spending quiet time in the afternoon with the hubby. I am able to enjoy things before I never have had time for.

Mine were just the opposite. I loved my dad, but he was a character. My mom was great.

Maybe it's just what you need now, then. Sorry you aren't in a good place. You have such a great attitude that I know you will come out of this well.

Well I guess for every bad there is a good. It started tough staying home and seeing him all day. He works midnights. So when he is sleeping and tired I was getting angry and thinking he was a lazy arse. But then it clicked. That's his schedule. I never had reason to pay attention before since I worked all day. But now its perfect. I put my son on the bus, go to the gym a few hours which is total heaven for me. I have muscles! Woo hoo I think if I didn't have "my thing" which is the gym then I would really be crazy.

Why the job change for you? For the better I hope.

HI bear and bella. I saw you really I did! :D

Why the job change for you? For the better I hope.

The powers that be decided to close our office and service our clients from a nearby California office. I could have stayed on and worked out of my house, but I only want to work another year before having a baby so I didn't want to take a job from someone who had longer range plans. Plus, one of our clients was looking for someone for a temporary (1 year) position to cover for their CFO while she was staying home with a new baby - she's due in August. It was a perfect fit for me. I only want to work one year, it's a client I like, and it's in an industry where I have a lot of experience. It's also going to be a new experience, and I'm ready for that.

Good for you. Funny how things just fell in place with your plans. I was actually going to ask you about baby plans. I almost considered a second one while I was home. But I am happy with one. Truly I am. He is a good boy.

I will pop back in a few. I am painting a wall. Yes a new house and I am painting already. I didn't want it white any more. It was old. Time for change. So while its nice and I can open the windows I am going to get it done. I will be back. If I miss you enjoy your BBQ and we can catch up again soon I hope.

Well, we have been talking about the whole baby issue for a while. John is ready right now, but I wanted some time alone with him. When this opportunity came up, we decided the timing couldn't be better. We plan to start trying in October (our anniversary) and hope by the time my one year job is done that I'll be pregnant. I was an only child, which had a lot of benefits. Still, I think I'd like at least two. We'll see how it goes.

Have fun painting your wall. ;) When I am off in 2 weeks, I don't go back to work for 7 weeks. I'm also planning on doing some interior painting. Haha - you could come help me. It would be fun. :)

Hello there! :)

You're planning to get a baby JLo? Nice!

Good luck! :)

A girl now would be balancing them both, though I know that conflicts often arise at a certain point in time, I went and am still going through it =S

Yep, a baby - I'm already excited about the possibility. :) I'm lucky that I don't really have to work, so I'm planning to stay home until our kids are school age. I can always do some consulting work or work from home if I want.

We're going to head out for a walk/run now. Pete saw me grab his leash and he's impatiently waiting for me.

Talk to you later. :)

HI bear and bella. I saw you really I did! :D

Hi Sunny, good to see you again :)

Hello all,

I hope all the mothers here had a wonderful mothers day!

Hi Adam, long time no see, how you doing?

Hey Bear, sorry I never came back after I posted that. I just don't visit this place often. It will probably be less if I change jobs soon.

No worries mate, this place doesn't seem to get used much anymore, there's cobwebs on the walls an everything :(

A change in jobs? what is it your looking at doing?

Cobwebs? :eek:

We need Sunny to come back and liven things up. She could get rid of the cobwebs and paint the walls. I'll even help her. ;)

Lol, hi Unky and Jlo how are you? Long time no speak :)

I'll help with the ordering of stocks. I'm working at a 'warehouse' this week and could probably get some of the things that they don't appear to need ;) :eek:

Yeah Bear, been working and working a little more on the MMO, and learning some more programming. I started with perl, got in the middle then moved to tcl when I learned it's faster to interpret, and I tried to have a look at Go, not the other AMHD skin but the go computer language. Strangely, that too gives me headaches :o

Anyway, I have a problem with a current tcl script right, it now and again clears the ban list :( And I don't know what in-build script does that. So I'm trying to hunt it thought the pages of codes...

If by stocks you mean food and drink, that would be great and would bring people back. Maybe add some big screen TV's and comfortable chairs.

I'm about done at my job - 1 1/2 weeks and I get to relax until the new one starts.

Nice :), you've been a heck of a lot busier than me, I also should have been knuckling down and practicing programming (C# and C++ for me)

Good luck with solving your problem in tcl, sorry but I'm not familiar with tcl, I hadn't heard of it before you mentioned it :o

Maybe there's someone on the site who could help? always worth a shot :)

Its all right for some :D

Dang food attracts me and I am on a diet. Arrgh!

Yea Bear, I should be switching jobs soon. I will tell you more on it later.

Yes, I had to walk quite a long way today on the return journey from the warehouse. The nearest bus stop is like 1 km from the warehouse :(

We had your field leader's car in the morning, but he had to bring it to servicing at noon. Tomorrow morning, we are meeting at the bus station at 8 am and get a bus. Then walk again that long path to the warehouse... pfft just thinking about that makes me tired, lol. :p

Unky, you are young. 1 km should be easy for you, unless of course you are carrying audit bags. When I worked in L.A. I had to park a mile from my office on the days I went in there - parking in the building was too expensive. I would be in a suit, high heels, carrying my purse, and 2 heavy audit bags - a mile each way.

Dang food attracts me and I am on a diet. arrgh!!

Yea Bear, I should be switching jobs soon. I will tell you more on it later.

Lol I'm saying sod it to going on a diet, mainly because I'm a picky eater, so ill just go to the gym instead :)

I don't think that anyone would want to go through pages of scripts just to get that particular function which I want removed :p

Tcl is okayish, quite similar to perl, which itself is derived from C/C++ I think. I hear that C# is win ;). But the main reason I'm using tcl is that my shell/direct command line can interpret those languages easily, while for C/C++/java, I need to download a compiler, which I rather find pointless if I might swap language midway, like I did for perl, though I'm still more at ease with it right now.

Anyway, the difference between the core language and the one which I'm using is that mine also contains functions for IRC (I think). Currently, the scripts I put myself are a uno script and a timezone script. The latter is a little slow because it does a big search on Google. :o

lol im saying sod it to going on a diet, mainly because im a picky eater, so ill just go to the gym instead :)

We could always make it healthy food - fresh veggies and cookies.

Mmm... I love veggies, usually dipped in something though, which probably isn't good for you, but the dip tastes good too.

Currently I'm brushing up on my c# using the xna game studio wich you need visual studio to use :)

Lol, nice try Jlo but unfortunately I'm one of those people who isn't a fan of vegetables, don't get me wrong I will eat them, but given a choice... :D

Oh guys talking all this techy talk and veggies and diets.

Bring on the wings and beers. I leave for a bit and you all clean up. Losers. Haha kidding of course. ;)

MM I'm with Sunny for the beer and wings. Had one of those nights last night. It was good fun!

Hey so didn't I but for different reasons I am sure. For my sons First Communion I told him whatever he wanted for dinner I would make. He only comment was wings. Lol That's my son! We eat more wings in this house in a week then most people do in a life time.

How are you bella?

I am doing good Sunny! Had a few rough patches there for a bit, but nothing I couldn't pull out of! :) How about you? How goes the job battle? Are you all moved in to the new home? Any new pics you'd like to share? :D

We were celebrating a friend coming home. We had beer and wings and 6 of us made different types of pizza. It was delicious.

I am getting by. With the income cut in half its causing me some serious stress. The hubby doesn't seem to get that and still spends like I am out working. But that's the way it is. I can talk until I am blue in the face and he agrees but he is who he is. He uses that debit card worse then any woman I know. Lucky for us we have never fought over financial problems so its good.

No job luck. I just applied to Alcoa here for an accounting position. Not sure if you know of them. Here in the states they would. I am not holding my breath though. In my small area its all who you know. We have been all moved in since October so at least I am happy being stuck home in a new house! I sat out my sliding doors last week the one sunny day we had and watched the grass grow and drank some beers.

Your pizza and friends sounded fun. Good for you.

Got it sorted out (the script) and some more features added :p

Good luck on getting a job soon Sunny :)

6 different pizzas! That must have been fun fun Bella :p

I applied for another job today. Not to sure about this one but I went ahead anyway. Its an entry level position for a CPA firm. Now that one would make me really happy. But we will see. Keeping my fingers crossed.

It was really fun Unky! Nothing goes better with wings and beer then pizza!

Sunny I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I'm sure you will get the job, who can say no to such a purdy lady!?

Good night folks!

Aww thank you bella. But I have heard no. I don't like it.
Good night.

I gots me another job! Yay!

Great for you where is it? Can they hire me? Can they pay me from there?

Well you are smarter than me so you probably could get hired.

Good Adam! Congratulations! :)

Hey unky.

Adam I wouldn't say I am smarter then you. I just use my ***-ets well. You know batting my eyes and trying to smile pretty.

Lol being smarter is not something worth arguing about, you have the experience that I don't and a wonderful husband and son and house :)

We all have our own little thing more than someone else ;)

To funny it was blocked. I said assets.

Well the husband is one thing.
The son is a total full time job all the time.
The house was a lot of work, patience and a long long dream we had that we worked towards. You will have all that one day. It just happens. Not any time soon I hope but you will.

Aww, I figured that one out all on my own until I came to the end and seen you spelled it out anyway. Haha. I just figured you blocked it out yourself.

Thanks Unky!

See you are smart.

Haha, except my comment on the other post where I said I could be the sugar daddy. Can that work with me being the younger one and only 21 years old? Haha

I will take it. 21, cute, good job, own house. I knew we were the perfect fit all along. I have to warn you I hate cooking and I am not good at it. I will do it. Eat at our own risk. But I do keep a clean house.

That is perfect for me Sunny, come on down. I like a clean house and I won't complain about the food, I promise. If anything I don't mind cooking and I'm not half bad at it. Haha

Well we are off to a good start then.

Are you still single? I remember last time we talked things weren't good with your girlfriend and I think she had moved out.

I should be going to bed... but here I am :eek:

*Going to bed now*

See you later guys!

o/

[that's me waving ;)]

Yes, I am a single man, out on the market!

Have a good night unky. Sleep well. Great talking with you as always.

Yes, I am a single man, out on the market!

Eh em' I thought we just established your now off the market. How quickly they forget. :D

OK I have to run to. Tacos for dinner and I hate doing them but I will. I have to get them started because I am starting to fade away with hunger.

Adam be bad and dirty while I am gone. With any luck I will catch you in the morning.

Congrats, Adam!

Well, When you are here Sunny, I will be here, but you are the fun one who brings the people, other than that I stay in another world all day.

I forgot, I am officially off the market now. Duh meee..

Adam I may have missed it but what is your new job?

You didn't miss anything Stringer, I never said where until I was for sure which I am now, and I will post for the first time but I will be working at crane, just Google "crane nswc" you will find it.

Very top response on Google

Very interesting Adam. What will you be doing there?

The jobe title is a supply tech. mainly just an office job.

It sounds interesting what they do Adam. Good luck, keep us posted on how it's going, when do you start?

Did you need clearance?

I will get my start date as soon as I pass my physical and get my security clearance. Shouldn't be a problem. I will keep you guys up to date.

Good Morning!

Not a beautiful day here but I am in an unusual good mood for some reason.

I think it is because I know I will no longer be working here and it kind of feels like I am on vacation because there is nothing I can do wrong to get in trouble here.

Hey everyone! Adam suggested this thread to me, so this is were you're all hiding! :p

Oh, well I just sent you a message not knowing you were already here. This place isn't near as active as it used to be but it is where we usually hide to get away from the other places.

Like a staff room? Cool. And good morning to you too! Well it's the afternoon here in ireland and the weather is crap as usual. But I too am in an unusually good mood! :D

Well, good you are in a good mood.

I remember when this place used to be so busy. If you didn't get on during the weekend, you usually had 30 pages to catch up on when you came back on Monday.

Now you can miss an entire week and come back and only miss 2 pages. Except yesterday, me and Sunny were here so it got lively for a bit.

Well I'm here now! Wooooooo! Wats the weather like were you live?

Right now it is Overcast and about 55° it is supposed to be sunny and 75° at some point today. The weather is odd this year for some reason. Indiana weather is weird by itself. They say if you don't like it, stick around 5 minutes, it will change. Haha

Lol, so your hoping to come to ireland right? I actually forgot to reply to that question about recommendations! Well I can't recommend a time of year because our weather is rotten all year round, we get about 2 weeks of sun altogether :mad:

But all our counties are interesting in their own rights. Dublin city is very lively, as well as Cork city and Galway city. They're probably the best 3 cities to visit, oh and belfast city! If your looking for site seeing then there are historic marks all around in probably all the counties, I'm not much of a site seeing girl so I wouldn't be a great person to ask :o

Well, I guess I can't use you as a tour guide. Haha

I hear the country is a beautiful place to visit, and my sister wants to go as well beacause of the research she did. So, in a year or two once I get settled at my job and have some money saved up, I plan on making the trip.

You should ask Redhead! I reckon she would know loads of places to visit, she's from county Kilkenny, I have no idea how I know that haha :confused: she must have it on her profile. It is a lovely country though! Oh and make sure you try our Guinness! I don't like it! Haha but you are allowed drink it if your pregnant, in case your planning on getting pregnant in the future :p

Hmmm... pregnancy was on my list of things to do today but if I have to drink guinness, I think I will just pass. Haha

I talked to Red about it a long time ago and knew she was from Kilkenny, not a name you forget. Haha. I can't remember what places she recommended. The plan fell short a few years ago but now I really want to go again.

Nobody wants to come out and play today?

I came and am now going.

Anyone received a mail of Chery today? :confused:

I've got one... but there's only a link. I hesitated a little before clicking but it took ages to load so I closed the link...

Nobody wants to come out and play today?

I am here now Adam and I am afraid its to late for you to be on. I won't be on long. Have to focus on getting the little guy settled and ready for bed. But after he is down I will check back.

Welcome to the thread Advice.

Hey unky.

Hey guys, I'm sort of here. Tending to my sick little girl. Her asthma is acting up again. I feel so bad for her, it has finally stopped raining and the poor thing can't go out to enjoy the sun. Got to get her stocked up on her meds again. She was perfect over the winter. I hate seeing her this way :(

Hey bella. Aw the poor little tyke. I hate it when they are sick. Especially something like that. She is such a doll. The pollen count is so high here I can not believe my little man and I aren't sick. We have allergies but we have been fine. I have been on an inhaler but usually I can't breathe at all. So congested. Its been a strange season for sure.

It has done nothing but rain here for three solid weeks! I can't believe we all haven't floated away. I find it's worse when it's rainy for her. The humidity I guess.

I hope you are your young fella stay allergy free! A good friend of mine is on a banana kick recently. She claims that eating one a day will help with allergies, asthma, heart burn, cramps, headaches and hang overs. Lol I don't know how well it works, but I figure a little extra fruit in our diets can't hurt.

Oh and thanks, I think she is a doll too... when she's sleeping ;) :D

I keep forgetting to mention this, but hello Addy, and welcome! We are soon going to have to change the title of this one or make a new spring/summer thread!

I know your pain with all the rain. Same deal here. We just had FEMA here because the flooding is so bad. Over a million in damage in one town. So sad. My lawn is pretty wet and its frustrating but thank god the new home isn't flooded.

I came and am now going.

Anyone received a mail of Chery today? :confused:

I've got one... but there's only a link. I hesitated a little before clicking but it took ages to load so I closed the link...

Yes Unky I got that also... strange.

Hey guys, bella I hope your little lady is feeling better real soon! Poor thing :(

Hey peeps.
Sunny is officially broke. Three parties this weekend. Two birthdays and another First Communion. This will be one tiring weekend coming up for sure.

Lol, sounds that you'll have some fun time though ;)

Gawd I am so broke too Sunny. The old ex decided to buy a new bed for himself and thought this wa smore important than paying child support. Gahh. I am filing the paper work on Tuesday for mandatory child support payments. I wish we could have been civil and remained friends for the sake of E, but I just don't see it happening. I've given him 3 years to man up and be the father he should be, but it's always about him. Everything in his life comes first. If he needs new shoes, E suffers, if he needs new pants, he doesn't send money that month. Doesn't he think I would like a new bed or new clothes? Just because I buy something new or have bills to pay doesn't mean she doesn't need to eat or live in a home!

I really wanted to enroll her in swimming lessons, but I just can't afford it this year. I feel awful. But I am doing the best I can with what I have. I won't be returning to school I don't think next September, I should really find a job. Sigh. Sorry for the vent guys.

It's a long week end here! I hope everyone has a great week end. And enjoy your parties Sunny! :) :)

I admire single moms for being there for their kids, bella. Vent all you want here, we will always listen and try to help. Yes, a long weekend is always good even if most people don't remember it is celebrating Queen Victorias birthday.

You vent, rant and rave all you want bella. I have a husband who helps and you know what even then its still hard sometimes. I have sat back many times over and wondered how girls like you do it. By like you I mean single moms with little help. Its hard. I give you a big cheers because I tried it for two months and it scared me to death. I was worried sick all the time. I was worried about dating again and what someone would do to my son or I. It's a crazy world out there. But your doing well and for that be proud.

I just had a pretty large and unexpected Avon sale. $75.92 to be exact. I am shouting for joy. I make no money really but it makes me happy to see it.

Congrats on your big sale Sunny!

For that, you need to come visit me today. I have 5 1/2 hours here at work today and you can help it go fast, along with a full house here people!!

I will probably watch a movie in that time so that should give you guys a two hour break.

Oh, I never said because I forgot I think, but I went to my new job to get a physical yesterday and everything went well.

*** Looking around**** Nope.

Hi Bear, does this mean that you and I didn't qualify?

I guess so, oh well :D

Nope... all normal and average here. Was just joking with the neighbor about what a waste mowing the yard might turn out to be... while laughing.

Only yesterday I realised that I wouldn't get paid for all the overtime id been doing recently if the world ended :(

Yep and I wouldn't have to cut the hedges today either...

Well so far the end of the world bypassed my part of it.

You see guys that's why I didn't do a freaking thing all day!

Honestly I forgot all that nonsense until later that evening and I saw it all over my FB page. Then I realized how funny that the world could have done whatever it was going to do and I was clueless the entire time.

I didn't actually 'see' anyone that day so for all I knew the world could have ended :D

Maybe this is heaven. Must be if you're here with me bear. :D

Maybe this is heaven. Must be if your here with me bear. :D

Lol awww thanks sunny, needed a smile today :)

Well don't let the truth hurt too much.
Anything new and exciting? Its beautiful out here today. The air smells fresh and clean. The sun is out.

Welcome to Ireland president Obama! We're hoping to get him on the front page of our newpaper drinking a pint of Guinness :)

He is in Ireland?
How are you Advice. We have never officially met.
Welcome to the site although it looks like you have been here for some time.
Its fun.

Hi sunny! Yep he is in Ireland now just seen the helicopters flying over my house :) its great to have him here, we all love Obama here. And I'm great thanks! How are you? Our weather here is madness! Very windy, I hate the wind :(

You saw him fly over your house? Way to cool. How fun.
I am well. We have had a few hour break this morning in the rain so I have all the windows open and I am just poking around cleaning and smelling the fresh air come in. Its been raining for weeks. Storms coming back in this afternoon and the rest of the week. I guess your maybe used to all the rain though right?

Advice be ready Adam is being dirty on the other thread. We will ambush him. He will be here. I know it.

Want to bet a lot of the end-of-the-worlders are feeling really foolish about now? What kind of excuse are they going to dream up about why it didn't happen? Thoughts? Ideas?

Knock knock

Wanna bet a lot of the end-of-the-worlders are feeling really foolish about now? What kind of excuse are they going to dream up about why it didn't happen? Thoughts? Ideas?

It will be interesting. I blew that entire thing off. I have a life to live rather then think about some crazy nonsense. I do have to say though I have watched some Nostradomus shows and he was interesting to say the least.


Knock knock

Knock knock knocking on heavens door

You are awesome Sunny! Just saying

Keep talking baby I like it.

I am seriously multi-tasking today. The only thing I am missing at this point is a beer. My fridge is dry or I would have one.

I am seriously multi-tasking today. The only thing I am missing at this point is a beer. My fridge is dry or I would have one.

Haha I knew you would.

My plans fell through Saturday night so I have about 45 beers in my fridge so feel free to take one!

I hate it when plans never work out. Isn't best just to wing it sometimes.

I am just catching the news about the tornado in Missouri and oh my god its so sad. What has happened to the weather. This year has been out of control every where. Maybe the world is coming to an end but not as predicted.

Yea it was a last second plan my friend invited me to go camping and then dnr ran us off because the place just became illegal to camp this year.

You could be right, the weather is awfully strange this year. A lot of bad stuff happening. It is sad about Missouri

Bummer adam. I love camping. Tent, bonfires and drinks. I do that often just in my backyard. I am bonfire queen in my neighborhood. Everyone knows it to. Fun times.

Yes, I love to camp, it is a good time, exactly how the camping trip was supposed to go but dnr had other plans. Then I made one of my friends mad because I didn't invite him to go with me, when I wasn't the one who planned and I was the one invited now he won't even talk to me. So it turned into a bad time. Haha

Haha I knew you would.

My plans fell through Saturday night so I have about 45 beers in my fridge so feel free to take one!

Oh how I would love a cold beer! I miss beer so much! I love camping too.

Sunny. Our weather is crap! We got about 2 days of scorching sun so far this summer, that's probably all we'll get :mad:

I'm sorry, don't mean to tease you with it Advice.

So do you go by Addy?

Well that's just childish on his part. You can't just bring someone along that's not invited.

When do you start your new job? We will never see you then? When will you be here? You must make time for me, I mean us.

Yep! That's what they've re-named me here. So 45 beers? Partay at adams!!

It will be interesting. I blew that entire thing off. I have a life to live rather then think about some crazy nonsense. I do have to say though I have watched some Nostradomus shows and he was interesting to say the least.

I'm the type of I'll deal with it when it gets here... IF it ever does in my lifetime. I can't change it, why worry about it.

I'm the type of I'll deal with it when it gets here....IF it ever does in my lifetime. I can't change it, why worry about it.

That's how I am. I have other worries during the day then worry over that nonsense. Seriously. Some people just need more to do during the day then sit and come up with these things.

OK I have to run out for a few. Ok really I am jumping in the shower. My place is perfect and smelling pretty now its my turn. Have to get pretty my little man is getting an award in school today. I have to go be a proud mom and snap mad pictures.

Good, we try to give everyone here a name that ends in y for some reason. It is just easier. Except my name, it doesn't get much easier.

Sunny, I agree with your comment about my friend, we always do this kind of thing and he turns childish and stops being my friend until someone dies.

As far as my job, I don't know when I will start yet but I will always make time for you, I mean here.

Done and ready to go sort of. All this beer talk really makes me want one. I am trying to hard to avoid this alcohol issue I have. Which is I am OUT! Lol

Awww, it's almost like the old days in here again. :)

Ah good ole President Obama had himself a Guinness here in Ireland. He's giving a speech now. Dublin city is completely packed! He's great!

Hey J-Lo! How goes it?

Glad you are enjoying him being in your country Addy!

It's going well. I finished my old job on Friday and start the new one in July. I'm doing some interior painting this week, so I peek in here when I need a break. I read the link about your new job. That sounds great. I bet you are excited.

I sure am, we put on a huge show for him. What a day I have had, I swear I think my belly grew over night, I'm just realizing I can't cross my legs anymore and sit like a lady! Haha

Doing good here too, the moving is somehow tiring since I get up early just for the sake of not missing the bus, then getting home at about 6/6.30 pm. There is (hopefully, but unfortunately) one last day at the hotel, then I'm back to the office to process and finalise all the documents. I succeeded in putting two more kilos since I got to go to the hotel, the food there is yummy and there is so much! :p But I feel I'll lose them again in a few days :(

I am really excited about starting this new job. I am just anxiously waiting for my start date.

Sounds hectic Unky!

Haha, better not wear a skirt.

Haha! Thanks for the heads up :p id be getting some strange looks :eek: oh and I have this really strange phobia of anyone touching my belly button and it looks like mine is going to pop out soon and rub off my clothes! Aaaaah gross!

Nah, actually, I like the job a lot, I get to see those beautiful hotels and get to know how a lot of companies work. I hear that some of my bosses even get discounts with the hotel managers with whom they've been working before :p

Then later, I'll get to go abroad for work and at the same time visit countries and such :)

I actually enjoy painting. Everything looks so fresh and clean. Usually I can go for hours but I hurt my neck and shoulder recently and they are still a little sore. I'm taking lots of breaks. :p

I bet. It sounds like a career move versus a job. I was excited for you reading about it.


Unky - I know exactly what you mean. I used to travel so much for my job, eating out all the time. I had to be really careful. Do you know what your next project will be? That was what I really enjoyed about working for an accounting firm - always a new challenge and meeting new people. The travel was fun for a while, but it got old.

haha! thanks for the heads up :p id be getting some strange looks :eek: oh and i have this really strange phobia of anyone touching my belly button and it looks like mine is gonna pop out soon and rub off my clothes! aaaaah gross!

Haha, yea, probably would. Hmm, you need a label for you stomach. NO touching belly button! Not sure what to say to that last part...

Addy, the baby's coming I tell you! ;)


The baby is perhaps finding some other way out :eek:
