WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ffm172]

it is so quiet here today!!! Where is everybody? And what happened to threads that almost get locked because of inappropriate language as good as we try to hide that from the Admins?

[xmas74]

1. I just got the police to issue a major ticket to

a stupid little conservative college kid.

[ffm172]

5. you are SOOOOO mean

but I bet the kid deserved it.

[xmas74]

6. It's not the department that I work for that issued the

citation. Check your other thread. That is where the info is.

[ffm172]

12. just read it

great story (not the first part, but when you got back at them) :yourock:

[xmas74]

13. Fuckin' punks!

Get over it! I have a John Kerry sticker on my car-so what!

[ffm172]

14. what gets me every time is that they want their freedom of speech

but don#t want the other side to have it. stupid asses!!!!

[xmas74]

16. I was advised that if I didn't want any further

vandalism that I needed to take my stickers off of my car. They think that these punks will retaliate and my stickers are rather noticable in this area (only 3 smaller ones, but not a very popular message around here).

[ffm172]

17. that sucks

that you get harrassed because of bumper stickers. why are people so small minded????

[xmas74]

18. This is a red state

and they are drunk ass college punks. This is a college town. Some just look for excuses to do someone wrong.

[Hatalles]

2. It's spring break.

[ffm172]

3. and??

tell the stories !!!

[JohnKleeb]

4. Yeah tell the story or I am gonna go to bed

Yeesh I should have been asleep hours ago. screw it I am going to bed.

[xmas74]

7. Check ffm's other thread first for a good laugh.

It will make your night.

[JohnKleeb]

8. Ok I will, you're lucky

I was editing my profile.

[xmas74]

9. It's about cons getting arrested!

[JohnKleeb]

10. Yeah I just read it

Stupid assholes. Really what the fuck.

[xmas74]

11. They didn't like my John Kerry bumper sticker.

It sucks to be them-I was the wrong person to fuck w/ (since I work for a police department).

[ffm172]

15. HEY, you can't make promises

and then not keep them!!!! :)

[regnaD kciN]

19. Oh, be quiet!

Some of us are trying to sleep.

:boring:

[ffm172]

20. then why are you sitting in front of the PC?

go to bed if you want to sleep!!! Go! We don't need you here. :(

[Swamp Rat]

21. Ahhh!!! The sun is rising!!! ... must get in my coffin!!!

[Huckebein the Raven]

22. I'm awake I'm awake

may I help you ?

:)

[ffm172]

23. did you sleep at all tonight?

:)

and just answering my threads is a big help :hug:

[Huckebein the Raven]

24. I fell asleep around 10pm and woke up at 2:30am

I've been up ever since.

[ffm172]

26. tell me again what you do

I have in the back of my mind that you study, right?

[Huckebein the Raven]

27. You would be correct

but I don't have classes for the rest of the week because of Easter

:)

[ffm172]

29. phew, lucky me

my memory ain't lacking yet :)

how much longer do you have to study? And please give me a hint again about what you study. I rather ask again then saying something stupid

[Huckebein the Raven]

32. I'm majoring in Computer Science

I should be finishing up soon (emphasis on should)

[ffm172]

34. any specific field?

both my parents studied math and turned out to be software programmers.

[Huckebein the Raven]

36. Software Development

but at one time I wanted also to get involved with Artificial Intelligence.

[ffm172]

38. that is what my mom does also

(and my dad till he died).

I enjoy working with computers, but software developing isn't something I am too good at. Even though it was my best class in school. Go figure :)

[Huckebein the Raven]

41. So what field are you in now ?

[ffm172]

43. completely different

I am a librarian

[Huckebein the Raven]

44. Do you like it ?

[ffm172]

45. Love it

it is the perfect job for me.

[Huckebein the Raven]

46. Well that's good

I hope I can find something I like. I really want to live and work outside the states.

[ffm172]

48. any idea which country you would like to work?

and are there any people on your campus you can talk about that to?

[Huckebein the Raven]

49. My school isn't that large so I don't think so

I was thinking about Britain, France, Canada, or possibly Ireland. I want to go somewhere I have at least some knowledge of the language spoken there.

[ffm172]

50. understandable

so you speak French. Wow. I learned it in school but never got a grip of it. Learned my English only because I went to the States after school to be a nanny. Main reason was learning English though. It worked :D

[Huckebein the Raven]

51. Yeah but I'm far from fluent IMHO.

I haven't been in a position where I couldn't fall back on English though. I can read articles off of Le Monde's site with little trouble. Now and then I have to look up a word I don't know.

:shrug:

[ffm172]

53. sounds like quite an acomplishment to me

keep reading and use every possibility to speak. That is what I do also. I even got me an American bf :)
And I still need to look up words.

[Huckebein the Raven]

55. Thanks

:)

[ffm172]

57. your welcome

and you can impress girls with the French ;)

[Huckebein the Raven]

58. LOL. Good point.

[ffm172]

59. I know

:)

[Huckebein the Raven]

60. Now I just need to find a girl to impress

:D

[ffm172]

61. you impressed me

:evilgrin:

[Huckebein the Raven]

63. I'm flattered

:)

[ffm172]

65. ok, I'm outta here

enjoy the weekend :hi:

[Huckebein the Raven]

66. have a good trip

:hi:

[Huckebein the Raven]

25. Is xmas still on ?

[ffm172]

28. don't think so

she usually leaves between 6 and 7 am. But I am sure she will be back later on

[Huckebein the Raven]

30. I see

so anything interesting going on in Frankfurt ?

[ffm172]

33. not really

typical day at work.
Still trying to decide if I hit the road tonight or tomorrow. Right now I rather go tomorrow, less traffic and I still have to do some things in my apt. Like watering my plants, cleaning up a bit and packing. Was lazy and not in the mood the last days.

[Huckebein the Raven]

37. Does the Autobahn get congested like the highways here in the states ?

[ffm172]

40. normally every Friday afternoon

when school holidays begin or long weekends. It is hell then on the Autobahn. A lot of stop and go.

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Hey! I've Been Up Since 3am CST

Had a video meeting with the Far East. 5am our time, 7pm their time.
The Professor

[ffm172]

35. did you make any progress?

at least you didn't had to fly there. The jet lag would have been worse

[ProfessorGAC]

39. I Go There Every Other Year

That trip, is indeed, a nightmare. The use of video is definitely health related. That trip is a killer for someone with MS, like me. 29 hours door to door!

This way we can meet every month with all foreign sites. (Although i still go to the U.K. plant at least twice a year.)

If i had to go the Far East every month, i'd just get it over with and kill myself. Taking that trip every month would kill me anyway. Might as well speed the process!
The Professor

[ffm172]

42. I know a coiple of people with MS

that is really tough. The flight to the U.K. must be hard also. Can you fly first class or do you need to sit cramped up in the tourist class?

[ProfessorGAC]

47. Depends On The Length Of Flight

U.K. is economy plus. Europe is Biz Class. Far East is 1C. It has to do with the scheduled flight length. However, i will say that the rule is universal. Even the CEO follows the guideline diligently. (My position is Grade 12 out of 16. I guess i'm a medium shot.)

So, i don't feel it's unfair, hence i can live with it. The real problem is i'm kind of a fidgety guy and having to sit in that aluminum tube for 9 to 19 hours is really hard for me. The cramping in the legs, i can walk off now & then. But, it's not like i can leave and go for a bike ride! Hard to ride a bike at 33,000 feet.

[Freebird12004]

52. Ok Ok I'm up ...quit shouting!

:donut:

[ffm172]

56. hello back

hope your scond part of sleeping was resting

[Freebird12004]

62. It was very nice - thank you.

Some people have nightmares when they return to sleep after being awake as I was last night. It's lucky for me that I don't have that problem.

How was work? You're almost done for today by now, aren't you?

[ffm172]

64. I am about to leave

finishing up. So, I wish you a wonderful long weekend, maybe I pop up in between, not sure yet. :hi:

[Freebird12004]

70. HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND !

:hug: I'll see you next week.

[Mizmoon]

54. He can't remember where it was! Has this dream stopped!?

I let my cheek slide down the cool, smooth tile ...

[Left Is Write]

67. At the time you wrote this post, it was 3:14 a.m.

I had just taken my five-year-old to the bathroom and was fortunately falling back to sleep.

[ffm172]

68. and now it is 4.15pm (10.15am) and I can leave in the long weekend

:hi:

is your little boy looking for easter eggs this weekend? Have fun

[Left Is Write]

69. It's even earlier here - I'm two hours behind Eastern time.

And yes, they have an Easter egg hunt at church (though, with the rain this week, they'll have to do it inside, I hope), and we always hide the Easter baskets for the kids. :)

Enjoy your evening and the rest of the weekend!
