Calax Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Second day at new job. Kinda odd being the authority when you can't do rents due to apprehend being behind. My ankle/Achilles tendon is giving me a lot of trouble after it was partially torn and never really healed. 1 Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Denmark is even worse than the UK, being cold and miserable 11 months most years. As for "home" and friends... being an old introvert I never had a large social circle, a few good friends, several of which I've had for 2-3 decades are not deterred by a bit of geographical distance. Besides the weather, I just felt claustrophobic in Europe. Whether in Germany or the UK, it was like it didn't matter where you went, if felt like there were hordes of people everywhere and endless queues of cars, even on the smallest of country roads. I just needed to get back to a place where I can get away from people when I feel like it, open empty areas without any people nearby just an hour or two away. 2 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Your ability to make a good post is always better than me guessing Okay that reason makes perfect sense, you require wide spaces to function properly and feel normal, this is not uncommon. Its strange how I am the opposite, i get bored and a little anxious if I am out the city for more than 2 weeks or so Also this confirms what I suspected last time, you are very good at your job. Yes ERP systems are complex and can take time to learn but I imagine once you have your experience you can work in any country in the world as there should always be SAP, JD Edwards or Baan (not sure which you do as you didnt mention it ) For those confused by my post basically Gorth is an ERP consultant and he is very fortunate as he move much less effortlessly as he can generally always find work....am I right or am I missing something, be honest if I have this whole thing wrong "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Labadal Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Earlier today, I sat in a 3 our board metting that got very heated. I told the rest of the board that I would resign if the club didn't start acting more professional and put up suggestions on how to do it and why. At first people were reluctant, but most of what I wanted was accepted at the end, so I'm happy and tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknoman2 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) still banging my head on the desk from the frustration of not being able to use my new graphics card yet... im almost tempted to go buy a new screen instead of waiting for that converter. Edited October 8, 2016 by teknoman2 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

Gromnir Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Idaho, that sounds nice What would be your typical Native American Xmas dinner? Turkey i imagine the question is a bit... gauche. is current 567 recognized tribes. is a considerable number o' tribes still not having recognition. each o' those tribes is gonna have its own traditions. and keep in mind just how geographical large and diverse is the United States. not surprising then that the indigenous peoples would be diverse as well. *shrug* our christmas dinner, when we could afford to do christmas dinner, were not too unfamiliar. christianity is common 'mongst the lakota, with catholicism being the most common denomination. and our family were catholic. we celebrated christmas. always had some kinda decorated tree. for dinner we perhaps had turkey or pheasant or perhaps a roast beast o' some kind. couldn't always afford an extravagant meal, but gift giving were a tradition 'mongst the lakota long before europeans and christianity arrived, so we always exchanged gifts, even if were small stuff. menu items which might be unfamiliar to bruce would include wampanackali (which we believe our grand father learned from a huron or iroquois, so is not a lakota recipe and would not be common at other lakota christmas dinners) fry bread, wasna, and plum cake.

Malcador Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hilarious dream, not sure what the hell spawned it, but was essentially as if I were in a buggy RPG. Trying to walk some old man to a chamber but then the evil overlord (my boss I assume) was stuck running into a wall nearby, then did that scene over in my head but some guy who was I guess to ambush me came out too early. At least this all woke me up early with the absurdity of it all. Even my dreams are buggy. 3 Why has elegance found so little following?
