Congrats, that is awesome news! Most of the people I know trying to find teaching positions have had to look for a long time before they were offered jobs.

So you people with bear / dog/ whatever they are, did you start with them from the beginning, or did you get them from a level up?

I got my pets all on level ups.

LOL just for the record I didn't mean it that way.

That was strangely entertaining. Almost as much as the alice in wonderland mix thing. Wherever that was.

Don't die. Just kidding, my brother went for the first time last year said it was a blast.

I think I am like 7,4,4 still a ways from 10

The book club thing kinda fizzled. Though I love reading books at the same times as folks and commenting on them. I read tons of different stuff but focus most on history, horror, classics... like King, Vonnegut, Ambrose, George Martin, etc.

One of these days i will post up the last, oh 50 or books I have read since starting the forum, lol.

Right now I am reading a book called "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond. It is about how plant, animal, and environment shaped civilization progress from about 13000 BC to current, essentially why certain civilizations ended up on top and how some ended up on bottom. It is interesting, but pretty academic if that doesn't float any boats

Next up I think I am going to re read the first 4 books in the 'Song of Ice and Fire' series by George RR Martin in anticipation of the fifth book being released (hopefully) this fall. Insanely good fantasy/midevil style series from one of the best in the genre.

Before I read 'Deliverence' and 'The Exorcist' as books that I wanted to see how the books were compared to the movies. Both were disappointing (as I think most books are after you see the movie).

Before that I read 'Surely you're Joking, Mr Feynman' a loose autobiography written by Richard Feynman. Feynman was nobel winning theoretical physicist that (among many other things) worked in the Manhattan project during WWII. The dude is really really funny and has led a crazy interesting life... it is really neat to read the stories about one of the smartest guys on the planet that sound like any other goofy dude. If you like physics at all you MUST read this book, and even if you don't it is a very very good read.

Before that I read 'Blink' by Malcom Gladwell (he wrote 'tipping point' if you have heard of that). It is a non-fiction about how people use their instinctual or short processes of thinking reasoning. Hard to explain but very well written and hugely interesting.

Before that I read the new King set of short stories 'Just after Sunset'. Not his best collection but if you like short stories, King (with hemmingway a near second) is the best at it.

Thats about all I have right now, (that covers about the last 3 months) but all good reads. I think from now on I am going to post all the books I read

All that said, even if only a few folks were interested in picking a common book and reading/posting on it, I would be down.

Yeah I work in Office Space as well. Though I know nothing about programming other than the text game I coded in my TI-85 in highschool.

Every one of my 3 brutes are completely useless, I lose like 5 out of 6. Sigh.

Oh yeah on the time issue, I had soooo much more free time once I started working. While at college I had classes, homework, exams, plus a 25-30 hr week part time job. Probably spent 35 hrs a week between classes and study, then 25-30 working... so like 60-65 hrs of responsibility a week instead of 40. Much less free time then.

Congrats!

Yikes, looks like that is going on the back burner.

That stuff is neat to watch!

Or....

Drink a fifth of vodka and all the problems in that list seem to become less important. Except maybe the vomit stains.

Sweet! What does a flight to Toyko run?

I think it is kinda fun, though I agree it is massive randomness. I have an axe and a stick and my dude will sometimes sit there and punch for no damage for a whole fight without breaking out any weapon. So be it.

Yeah, that was great.

Hey. I beat farmerisme. At least I won one out of 6 or 7 or however crushing defeats that was.

I am still annoyed that someone stole my username though.

I call shenanigans.

Happy Birthday!

Yeah

I could play that on guitar hero.

Happy birthday!!

Wow, that was neat.

With so many still around, we should bring back csls. :-P

LOL go for it.

Oh it wasnt offensive to me and did not gross me out. But yeah I try avoid seeing wangs if I can help it or it isn't necessary. And it was not necessary IMO. Absolutely I would not have the same reaction if there were boobs out the whole movie on one of the chick super heroes. Then again I like looking at boobs and am at best indifferent towards looking at wangs, go figure. If the movie was better I would not have had a problem with the wangage, but a so so movie, with a wang shot every 6 minutes... not so hot. And I do like the genre of movies so it isnt that. There were slow parts and plot lines all over the sucker. Though I have to admit the effects were cool and there were some really cool parts to it as well.
