Rosbjerg Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Ha, I remember my time in a similar store - you really get to see the broad spectre of society. - Drama at my work yesterday - major layoffs and people quitting. Now the remaining people have started a small psychological war on managment and each other. But I guess that's to be expected when everyone have been uncertain for so long. Still all I can think about is how much this whole situation reminds me of sub-standard clich Fortune favors the bald.

Rosbjerg Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 That's too bad. Where do you work at, Ros? In an international company that handles various kinds of projects, but mostly in the field of communication. My deparment is charged with the administration and sales of products for a Danish telecommunications company. I mostly handle the sales, but I'm also involved with translations and QA.

mkreku Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Last night at work a man comes running in out of breath about 2:30 AM. "Man, where's your condoms?!?!" he asks, out of breath. I told him in the first isle in the middle, but he goes immediately tot he candy and chips isle. I corrected him and he rushes over, takes 10 minutes to look for the condoms, even though they are in plain sight and bright colors, as he was telling me how hot this woman he met at the bar is, grabs a pack, runs to the counter. He reeked of alcohal and sweat, plopped 5 bucks down and rushed towards the door exclaiming "I am so drunk, I hope she's worth it!" Holy crap, I thought I ran a little too far from the pub last night, but IOWA?! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Guest Accept Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) My day was cool. I spent it outside, in the sun. It was incredible hot here today. So most of the day I just laid on the trampoline gazzing in the sun listening to music... Edited June 3, 2007 by Accept
Cantousent Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Today, I spent most of my time doing laundry, shopping for groceries, and cleaning the house, all of which I can't do during the week nowadays. I was thinking, the next time I'm up north, that I'd try to see Calax and Childe.

mkreku Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Today I first played beach volleyball and burned myself all over my white, Swedish body. Then I sat on a stand and watched the finals in the Elite League Beach volleyball tournament that was held downtown. It was awesome! Those guys are so good!! Then me and a couple of friends barbecued some food and played Guitar Hero 2 until now. Good day for me! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Guest The Architect Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) It was my Dad's birthday on Saturday. We had a dozen odd relies over and a few of his good friends over for dinner that night. He had no idea anyone was coming over. Then on Sunday he took his new $500 driver out for a swing with his golf loving friends. After golf he invited two Maoris who played golf with him on Sunday over for a drink... and I kicked both their asses in a game of pool . Though I was practicing before and after the footy, before they rocked up. Then I jumped on this forum some time last night, and I'm on here now today, as today is a public holiday over here, so TAFE can get buggered today. Don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of today, really. Haven't planned anything, as I'm a pretty last minute, not well organised kind of person to be honest.

LadyCrimson Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I've been trying to take some very long exposure streaking star-horizon photos, just to see if I can. But so far, they haven't been too great. Doesn't help that I don't have a remote switch to reduce camera shake when you repress the shutter at the end. :D “Things are as they are.

Musopticon? Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I dozed off for half the day, after a gluttonous breakfast here at the spa hotel. I read a couple of hundred pages of Perdido Street Station and tried my best to read the linguistics books, but, thanks to my earlier devotion to them, I can almost recite the buggers by now, I ended up playing a lot of Prince of Persia: Two Thrones and feasting on fresh pineapple bits. Was a good day all in all, though this public computer is trying it's best to undermine that. I can't even convert images to sizes for uploading, since this buggeral doesn't allow me to use the right mouse button. Perplexed, yeah. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Oerwinde Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Today I started a new job and broke up with my girlfriend. Now ends one chapter of my life, and another begins. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
kirottu Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Sorry to hear that. Break ups are never nice, but sometimes they are necessary. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
