Just seeing about the job as well ::) Congrats :cheers: So how is it going?

i got canned a few weeks in. asking a sensible question was apparently a big no no. the funny part is that if I didn't get canned on monday, I would've gotten on friday that same week. there was an issue my former boss has been trying to figure out a solution to for about 2 years. i talked some of the details over with the other staff and had a solution in 4 hours. the guy was so steamed about it that he gave me paid time off while i was on my 2 weeks notice just so that he wouldn't have to deal with me

Well at least you are taking it in stride :salute: Sorry to hear it though (rather funny that he gave you paid time off though :rofl: ) :cheers:  Here's to the next and better job :tu:

that's what had me laughing as well. can you imagine smurfing someone off so bad that even though they will be rid of you fairly soon, they pay you to not come to work for the time remaining? that has to be some sort of a 1 in a million story

went to a concert (if it can be called that) of our traditional songs and dances. gotta say it was really good

here is a little taste of what i'm talking about



Oh that's nice, I love to hear/see traditional music and things  :cheers:

And you of all people would know this, because you're the one who's been most closely following my thread  ;)

I would have shown you Moreška as well but that might inspire you to start jumping around and swing that Skrama a bit too much

Now don't be a smartass......even if you are right  :rofl:

Congrats and good luck  :cheers:

Had a few beers on Tuesday night with my first manager when I started working......in 1994. 

One of the topics we discussed was each of our school friends that were very successful in life, and what success means, or at least how each of us defines our own success.

Some become doctors, lawyers or accountants and make a good living, the guys that got really rich had something else than what is generally called "high IQ".  EQ? :think:

I believe my EQ is at retard level  :rofl:

not necessarily. but that type of quantifying something is at the vary least problematic since it doesn't take into account the culture and socio-economic factors that do play a big part.
if you really want to give yourself a debate over how good you are when it comes to EQ, read up on emotional literacy. there is a pdf with under 15 pages and you can get more than just the basics out of it. if you are already doing some of the "do 'em" things then you're good, if you're hitting all the "don't do" parts then you might want to learn a thing or two from the pdf

Great to hear you're back on the saddle, brother!

Oh and don't worry about what you say too much, if they get uppity about that, they don't deserve you anyways!  :cheers:

First issue with the beard trimmer. Stalled, fortunately while I was close to done. I'm fixing it now, good thing it has a warranty

Next time I'm getting a shrub trimmer. And I know someone will comment on that...

Congratulations on the new job, styx!

I've mostly (mostly) stopped using a trimmer and use scissors, a long pair and a short pair. You might try it.

......and for your beard.....perhaps a set of hedge clippers?

today's idea - if a woman can tell who's lyrics are these without google, one should immediately get hitched

It's been a long time since I rock and rolled
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll
Oh let me get it back let me get it back
Let me get it back baby where I come from

It's been a long time been a long time
Been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time
Yes it has
It's been a long time since the book of love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
Carry me back carry me back
Carry me back, baby, where I come from

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right
Open your arms, opens your arms
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
