Just in time for my trip to America.

No celebrations here but lovely weather.

Necro · 17-03-2019 8:41am

Ditto to the first half of your post Kolido. Second part remains to be seen:/

As for what I'm up to, probably nothing unless weather is good. Eldest and my wife are taking part in the parade so unless it's really nice out I'm home on babysitting duties!

Today our green will mostly be provided by littlest child who has a chest and head cold.

I'm going to try and make a line cheesecake later too.

I got a new phone. It's a blokia.

Just kidding. It is a Nokia though. So far I love it. It's only been a few hours, and it's android after me being an apple fanboy for so long. But it's grand!

Barney92 · 22-03-2019 6:14pm

If anyone could give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm making a game of Jeopardy. I've got 9 of the 12 categories done. If anyone has any good ideas for a category (potentially word play based) that I could make five questions out of I'd be very grateful.

Necro · 22-03-2019 6:17pm

Off the top of my head:

Dinosaurs
True Crime
Brexit

Im planning on getting a new phone also and looking at Nokia also. May I ask which one you got Sulli and how its been after a few days?

sullivlo · 24-03-2019 1:40pm

Nokia 7.1. I love it so far. It’s got an amazing camera. I’ve had no issues to date!

I work in a sensititive enough field and we were told not to use those due to the snooping issues.

Lol the US has a real issue with them all right, I wouldn’t be encouraged to use one of those either.

My cup of care is empty

I use my phone for WhatsApp and calls. Sometimes boards. Feck all else. They’re welcome to have an auld snoop.

fixXxer · 24-03-2019 6:05pm

I got a Nokia 7 Plus on Vodafone when I switched. Lovely phone so it is. Have a look at the Chinese Android phone thread for some of the Xiaomi phones. Save you a far bit and good quality.

Evening all? how is everyone on this fine Tuesday night?

My laptop isn't talking to me, she said she feels very very neglected.

I am sitting on 68%. I doubt my thesis was below 60 and the last assignment was an open book test... I’m as close to qualified as I can get.

Green&Red · 26-03-2019 10:31pm

Whats it in?

quickbeam · 26-03-2019 10:31pm

How’s the new job going MrsF? Not really ‘new’ any more, you’re probably well settled in.

Good luck, Sully. Do we have to call you Dr Sully when you pass?

Big shmoke bound tomorrow for a promotion interview. Been spending last day or so matching my work history to the competencies and now I'm bored.

Baggly · 27-03-2019 12:45pm

I put in for a temporary transfer within my dept to cover my counterpart with another brand.

Its basically the same job, but will look good that i have worked with both brands, if a higher up job pops up.

Necro · 27-03-2019 1:35pm

Does that mean relocation or anything Pter? Or just a different company run from same offices

I'd probably have to move from my desk to the desk opposite my desk.

Necro · 27-03-2019 1:43pm

:pac:

Trying times indeed :P

I'm hoping if I get through the interview I'll get an offer in Sligo which would mean a lot less travelling. And normal working hours again!

Kolido · 27-03-2019 1:44pm

Pter is the convert!

Baggly · 27-03-2019 1:45pm

I really like my current desk. My back is to a wall which is good for skiving. New desk wouldn't be.

OMG will this affect your posting? :eek:

Baggly · 27-03-2019 3:04pm

Could do. Probably not though.

Baggly · 27-03-2019 3:22pm

Oh god oh god oh god.

Manager for the other team asked for a chat and is all for it. Going to talk to our director about it today.

Oh god oh god oh god.

quickbeam · 27-03-2019 3:35pm

Good luck to everyone climbing their career ladders.

Baggly · 27-03-2019 4:14pm

Oh god oh god oh god.

My manager is gone in for a chat about it. This is happening way to quickly.

Oh god oh god oh god.

27-03-2019 4:33pm

Best of luck to you all

Baggly · 27-03-2019 4:42pm

Oh god oh god oh god.

Director thinks its a good idea too. This is terrible. I put the application in for appearances sake. I didnt even talk to my wife about it yet.

Oh god oh god oh god.

Don't worry, they'll just make the other guy redundant and have you do both jobs for the same money, thats why they all love it so much.

"....but what happened to Pter then?"

"well, then he died...."

Baggly · 27-03-2019 4:55pm

Wait....what?

Triceratops Ballet · 27-03-2019 4:58pm

guys funny story, I bought my sister a geometric pterodactyl necklace off Ali express (I know I'm a consumer whore) to put in her Christmas stocking, it was real cute when it came so I though maybe I'll get myself one of the Triceratops ones...cos you know! so I ordered it back at the start of Feb, it took AGES to arrive! anyway I go home yesterday and there in my postbox is one of those little packets from China. Guess what it was!

Well reader it was not one Triceratops necklace, BUT TEN!! I accidentally ordered TEN TRICERATOPS NECKLACES!!

:rolleyes:
