Randomness - vol. IV

[Kalah]

"Local" ... you mean Widerøe? How about the chance of getting to work somewhere other than Backwater Creek?

[Ethric]

So you'll be able to tell other people how to push pencils?

Not precisely, no

Workplace is Bodø, so yep, would get me away from the worst backwater too.

[Kalah]

Bodø is OK, I guess. Only been there a couple of times and that was ten+ years ago. Seem to remember some decent pubs. Also, they have direct flights to Oslo, don't they ...

[Ethric]

Not that it matters, Oslo being to full of southerners to be a nice place, but yes.

[Kalah]

At least you'll be properly connected to the postal network ...

[Ethric]

The postal network and it's employees of inbred mutants is so decrepit that the actual connetion to it is of little consequence.

Still, it's a long way from an interview to getting a job. But interestingly, they have as yet not been very interested in written references and grade sheets (no idea what it's called in foreign). Meaning, I guess, that the interview is even more important than usual. Anyone have some spare extra strong pheromones or somesuch...?

[Kalah]

Anyone have some spare extra strong pheromones or somesuch...?

Just wear your hat.

Seriously, though ... they need to see your qualifications, surely? But I guess they could always call your current boss without your knowledge ...

[Angelspit]

Kids are going back to school, it's cooler in the morning, traffic is back... Yup, Summer is nearly over folks.

[Kalah]

Nearly? Some of us have been working for two weeks already.

[Panda Tar]

Winter here yet. But with the 25ºC that's showing outside, one might wonder.

Watched some movies this weekend to pass time. Also ate sushi to my heart's content. Only my heart was content after checking the amount that we had to pay for those sushi.

[Pol]

Cool ..but where are my scanners?

Also why I cannot restore Firefox (6) and it just remains sitting like an icon with 35 opened tabs? Are they trying to say me something? I sense a revolt of software.


Also this is horrible>>

I don't know about Kaddafi, but this his son had lost sense for sanity and humanity, sometime when growing up. And never found it again!

[Panda Tar]

Ah, found this old song that I liked. But now that I understand the lyrics, I cannot stop chuckling everytime I listen to it. Well, that suppose to happen to us who are not English spearkers since birth, so songs I liked due the melody tend to become a messy nightmare when I learn what they really mean.

Here in Brazil, that song was called the melô do Papel, because the guy chants 'pa-pa-pa-pa-pel". Papel in Portuguese means paper. I thought it was some sort of romantic song but...it's about building! Building a house.

I have bolded the most creative and wondrous part of the song below, so you see the amount of neurons they spent composing the song. At least it rhymes, I give them that.

Housemartins Build Lyrics
Send "Build" Ringtone to your Cell
Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down
From meccano to legoland
Here they come with a brick in their hand
Men with heads filled up with sand
It's build

It's build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
It's build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots
Whistling men in yellow vans
They can and drew us diagrams
Showed us how it all worked it out
And wrote it down in case of doubt

Slow, slow, quick, quick, quick
It's wall to wall and brick to brick
They work so fast it makes you sick
It's build

It's build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
It's build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

It's build

Down with sticks and up with bricks
In with boots and up with roots
It's in with suits and new recruits
It's build

I don't know about Kaddafi, but this his son had lost sense for sanity and humanity, sometime when growing up. And never found it again!

There's always someone worst than another hiding somewhere.

Doesn't sound too much optimistically! What about better people, for a change? Like that nanny, she looks good-hearted. (& badly beaten ) I hope people help her.

[Panda Tar]

Oh, I am optimist. I was speaking of mind, the news of late, Kadafi, that norwegian bloke, Saddam, a general view.

Poor lady, her life will change, for sure. It's a pity that good people sometimes suffer so much. The truth is that we don't really hear of people being really good or happy, because it's difficult to feel it like TRUE happiness. It's either a wedding (that ends not long after), or a famous person happiness, or someone buying something. When it comes to us commoners happiness or good doings, it's pretty much what we can do about us and our friends, and those are the better people, are they not? On our eyes, they are the good people. But it's not really going to make a Newspaper sale or interest others, specially on the boards. Only when we have a unusual tale to tell, perhaps a photo to illustrate a moment. But happiness for itself is bound to no words, I say, more like the feeling.

[Pol]

Hot. This day was extremely hot. To a better, we discovered a new swimming lake.

[Kalah]

I like your new sig, Panda ..

[Panda Tar]

I hope it brings results!

[Kalah]

I'm in the classroom; just put my biology students to work on some assignments. Ironically, my helping them would actually be counter-productive, since the excercise is intended to teach them the ability to work independently and deconstruct the competancy goals of the curriculum. If I give them the answer, they don't learn it.

So here I stand with ... absolutely nothing to do. Hm. *checking my e-mail*

[Panda Tar]

You can go, tomorrow night, to Oslo at the Rockfeller Music Hall! There'll be Infected Mushroom show.
