JLO, you're in my thoughts. I am so sorry to hear about your grandpa. Please take care and come back soon.
Take care... its a tough thing to go through... but like Jim Morrison once said... Nobody gets out of here alive.
We all have our time... and nobody has thus far evaded it when it came. Be thankful they have had as many years as they have.
Thoughts and prayers for you and your family JLo.
Another day, another dollar. Barely...
I had one heater quit working here last winter. Guess what? My only other heater has bit the dust. Hmmm going to be an interesting day. I called the boss and said I wasn't working here with no heat. It's a huge place with huge windows and 18ft ceilings. Not the warmest place even with two heaters running all day.
Should I worry about staying warm or my paycheck bouncing again? Lol It's a freaking circus in this place. Cracks me up.
Well, for the time being, have some warm clothing Sunny and don't get a cold :)
I am already here at work and not dressed as warm as I should be. I have the little electric heater blowing on me but its not working out like I want it to. To close it burns me, I move it back and I get chilled. Aww.. the beauty of coming back here to work. Ha ha Oh well. Could always be worse I guess.
How are you unky? I hear your going to partner with Sneezy and be a doctor? Well that's how I read it anyway. That would be great!
I don't know yet, one thing that bothers me about medicine is that the years of study are hard, long and costly... so unless I get a scholarship, I don't think that it'll be affordable.
On the other hand, I might get a try in accounting. I loved it back when I did it at school, but because I had to choose a side for my O levels, and that I was doing very well in all 3 sciences, I took the science path. Accounting is only 3 years, plus some years of internship, so I think it would be easier.
Or, I might go towards engineering, maybe things concerning space and such :p
Something else I might do is teaching. Tuition teachers here make a lot of money lol. For O level teaching, they usually take R 400 per student per month(R 30 = 1 USD), and they take about 30 students in a batch, for a maximum of 5 batches a week. The total becomes R 60 000 a month, or about $1 000 a month :eek:
And for higher classes, the fees are higher, lol.
I need to choose well, two weeks to go until I get my results >.<
You will do so well no matter what you do.
I loved accounting also when I was in college. Numbers are my thing and it comes natural to me.
Although teaching would be pretty amazing. Everything you have learned you can give back.
Oh well, I guess only time will tell :)
For the time being, I got an appointment for having my driver's license. I applied for learner and I have to get to the 'formation centre' on Monday. I'm not sure what I'll do, there were a lot of people when I took the appointment and I didn't get the time to ask what I'll do exactly. Oh well, I'll be preparing myself for the test, if that's the reason for the appointment.
Oh good luck with your driver's license. I can still remember the day I got mine. I passed the test. I remember taking my moms car for a ride for the first time alone. It was sunny out and warm. I had the windows down and the radio on, because I was cool. I know every one looked at me and thought I was cool because I was driving. ( hee hee well that's how I thought anyway at 17)
It was so exciting! I am excited for you.
Lol, they won't allow a learner to drive alone here.
I think it's only after two years that they remove the learner status from your license here. I'm not much into cars, but hey, since I have some idle time between now and getting my results, I'm trying getting some things done.
And maybe I'll get the excitement when I'll drive a car... :cool:
Otherwise, I'm looking for some small jobs to get experience.
I wished I was as put together as you are when I was your age. You have it going on. I was total night and day. I guess that's good it shapes us who we are as adults. Which thank god I grew and learned!
Does your mom have suggestions on what you should do?
No, she was the first one to discourage me to go into medicine.
Then, she told me to pick what I'd like to do. For the time being, she's thinking either accounting or dentistry.
Well just enjoy your time right now. Life goes so fast. The older you get the faster it goes. Be the best you can be and be happy doing it. Your words of wisdom for the day.
Thank you, I'll sure be thinking about those words :)
:D
Jeez unky your never on this long! Your usually so busy your popping in and out.
I am in this abuse thread and its ripping my heart out. I just read the book The Boy Called It and then I read the one after it The Lost Boy. God some people don't deserve to get away with the things they do.
Lol, I was playing uno on the net and when a game is on, I might take some time before replying :o
Oh, good I read Agatha Christie, at least, all the criminals get caught ;)
Hey guys how's things going? Sorry I haven't read back. It's lazy day for miss Bella. No school today so me and the child have been in our jamma's watching movies and reading all day. I finally got my pipes thawed out. Woot! I love running water ;)
Hey bella. Running water is nice. Good for you.
I haven't been doing much today either. Surfing the threads today. I don't do that often. Today I was able to check a few out.
Ello
See any thing good out there Sunny? Hey Adam, how goes things?
Running water is great! I have never wanted to do my dishes so bad before lol. How's the little guy doing Sunny?
Things go good my way.
Good to hear that. Have you ever worried about something so much that in your mind you have changed the whole scenario and vibe of the actual situation, only to find out nothing is wrong and it was all in your imagination?
Yea, I actually understand that.
Lol, well I am glad I am not the only one. Ugg I hate stressing about stupid stuff! Sorry, I;m kind of off and on, making supper. Making meatloaf and roasted potatoes. Mmmmm
Butts dragging today... Took me over 10 hours to drive less than 20 miles to get home locally thanks to MANY idiots that actually believed All Season tires are really good in Ice and snow... and that they actually thought they knew how to drive in the slippery stuff. Something all too many people found out neither of which were really true. Based on the dozens of abandoned cars in awkward positions I had no trouble driving past in my old rear wheel drive car that doesn't even have a limited slip differential.
We had the freezing rain two days ago. Made for fun driving in the morning. Thankfully I've been in Canada most of my life, grew up driving on these roads in the winter. Not much phases me.Quote:

I grew up driving in it too... Learned in the snow and ice in fact... but thousands of idiots lacking the common sense to stay off the road they don't know how to drive on would stop a dog sled team in its tracks.
IE... Three feet of snow would have stopped me... in fact 2 feet would have in this car... not what we got however.
Oh myh god my store is on fire! Not the one I work at his main store at the other location. What the heck!
Insurance??Quote:

Don't be as it is not your problem. Try to relax. Your out of the loop. If there is funny business going on someone else will answer for it. Its not your fault nor could you have done anything about a fire no matter what the circumstances are surrounding it.Quote:

You all heard me talk about not being paid and this and that. The bank wanted a meeting with him in the morning. Now come on! Seems funny to me. I am so mad. Mad because he has been dumb enough to joke about doing that. Mad because he lost it all. All the caddys, all the houses, both stores. The new half million dollar place. He was losing it all. He wasn't normal today guys. Should I not be saying this here? Whatever not like I did anything but jeez its not good timing is all.
I am out of that loop but I really gave him a hard time today about some things and his issues. Then I got mad about my payroll and that set him right in tears. Well how was I supposed to know tomorrow is was all going. I don't know why the bank wanted the meeting but he isn't stupid and neither am I. I want to feel bad for him but at the same time I sat and watched it slip downhill and his bad choices. Economy is bad yes, but his business thrived and owned this area.
