Random Thoughts - Second Edition

[Pol]

Maybe you should.

[Kalah]

My current avatar shows an Orc having an orgasm. Now that's a random thought you wish I had kept for myself.

You dirty, dirty man....

[Ethric]

I strategically waited till after the holidays to get sick *cough* *wheeze* *huddle*. Nothing random about that.

[Kalah]

You've taken ill? But what about all your fellow civil servants relying upon your guidance and tutelage? Oh, well, at least you'll spend the days in front of a screen, I trust?

[Ethric]

Watching Hogfather and gnashing Fishermans Friend.

[Kalah]

The Hogfather, eh? A truly excellent notion. *grabs the DVD-box*

For a second I thought you were talking about another one of those Disney animation movies. A hog impersonating Brando, I can see that very well.

[Ethric]

Egad, no.

My signature is from that book And here's another good one:

"Do you have many friends, Mr Sydeney? I don't have many... Don't seem to have the knack. Then again, I don't seem to have any enemies either."

@ Asheera: I don't know yet. I like it all pretty much. Gotta listen to it some more to pick my favourite
@ AS: thanks, now I'm going to have nightmares abour self pleasuring orcs ...

I just stayed up all night. Couldn't be bothered sleeping, since I'm having so much fun with the PC/plasma screen combo. This morning some builders came to fix our dodgy chimney. I can hear them mocking about up on the roof right now...

[Ethric]

Well I just spent the last 40 hours in bed. And not in a good way

[zero cool]

When do you guys get time to post all these 'Random Thoughts'? Between work and actually playing HOMM, I hardly get time to eat.

[Asheera]

I feel a little tired... last night I went to sleep at 4+ AM

[theLuckyDragon]

That's so late it's early.

[Asheera]

And the fact that in the last days I went to sleep around 2 AM does not help either...

We get thoughts all the time, as well as the opportunity to post them at work !

I'm looking for a job these days, teaching history. It'll probably be a temporary gig, since I haven't got the educational science course yet. I'm planning to take that in the autumn and get a permanent job somewhere. Meanwhile, since this is the weekend, I'm waiting for Monday to arrive so that I can apply for a couple of openings I've just found.

It's funny, reading the advertisements. Somebody wants a teacher to start immediately, i.e. this Monday. I wonder what happened to make it such an urgency; somebody slip or something? Other things are easier to understand; openings in the period from now and to the end of the year; that's a teacher on maternity leave.

[Kristo]

Maybe the previous teacher quit due to being unable to deal with the rabblerousing students. I would ask lots of questions before taking that position.

In other news, I've been having fun lately playing around with iGoogle and various Google apps (Docs, Reader, News, Finance, and Gmail). It's pretty nice having everything displayed for me in one place.

Here's a conundrum: I got a subscription on a local newspaper for christmas. The paper comes once a week. The subscription which has the lowest per-paper price is for a full year, at 700 NOK. Meaning 13 and a bit NOK per paper. But they ship it with regular letter-mail, and the postage stamp says 23.78 NOK Meaning they've spent almost twice as much as you pay just to send it to you, and that's not counting the price of the actual newspaper.

The only explanation I can see is massive government subsidy. It sure seems odd though.

[Kalah]

just you wait; the bill will probably come to you eventually...
