It's been a long day. I'm bored. So I'm posting.
Someone replied to a thread I was watching from two years ago and I suddenly received an email that reminded me this place existed, so I thought I should at least stop by now and then and say hello .. so .. hello. Hope everyone is doing good and staying out of trouble!
I've been very busy with work mostly. Got a job interview tomorrow for a bigger and better and ultimatley busier place, so I'll have more money but less time, lol. Ah well.
Let me know how you've all been.
-
sure has been awhile. it's nice to see you drop by. thinks are cool on my end...although I wish I had a job interview that would give me more money :razz:
-
he DOES exist!!! :-)
kelley
-
he DOES exist!!! :-)
Isn't it amazing? It's like he's returned from the dead or something, hahahaha. Well, it is nice to see you, even if it might not be for long. :)
Good luck on that job interview!
-
So good to see you posting again Mattio! Good luck with the interview *hug*
-
Who's this guy? Is he new or what? Welcome to nh.com.

If only it was the job interview that gave me money. I'd just stick to doing the interviews! Lots of travel, but it wouldn't be a bad job really ;)
he DOES exist!!! :-)
Just about :)
Good luck on that job interview!
Good luck with the interview
Thanks :)
Who's this guy? Is he new or what? Welcome to nh.com.
lol.. thanks.. I'll try to be good ;)
The interview was interesting. Huge company and loads more cash, but I don't know if I want to go there or not. 40 min train journey there and 40 back and they run at stupid times (hourly I think). Would have to start wearing a suit. Would just be maintaining and expanding one web site instead of developing new sites. Dunno really. Have to see if I get a second interview anyway :)
I'm hating ntl at the moment. Never had a problem with them before, but the phone line stopped working over a week ago and someone should be turning up to fix it today. A week without the phone! Tsk. I should get some kind of refund anyway. Still .. very inconvenient! Now I have to hang around all day because the engineer is going to turn up between 12 and 6pm .. how very accurate.
So how's all of you? What you up to at the moment Kev? Are you now a full time code monkey? :)
-

lol. If NTL are are anything like BT, the engineer will show up at either 11am or 7pm. hehe.
So how's all of you? What you up to at the moment Kev? Are you now a full time code monkey? :)
Ha. Yep, you got it, full time code monkey :) C/C++ Linux/Windows apps mainly. I really don't like the job at all. I applied for a new job in Ipswitch where 3 old uni friends work, that would have been sweet, but I didn't get it :? I'm thinking of leaving after Christmas. I have no idea what I'll do after I quit, but hopefully it'll be nothing to do with computers 8)
Outside of work things are good. Still getting an hour or two of guitar in each day. Making reasonable progress :) Pity the music I play is desperately unpopular, lol, otherwise that might be a career option. Other than that, just living for the weekends and trying to minimise the time spent at work as much as possible.
That's basically it at the moment.
-Kev
P.S. Good luck with the new job Matto (if you decide you want it)
-
Ipswich? That's only 20 mins up the road from me .. could have gone out for a drink some time! Go back there and get that job.
I've finally discovered the world of asp.net so I'm happier than a really happy thing that's found a load of bananas. It's five trillion times better than developing with asp 3, if not more. VanessaVoss.net will be .net soon enough, along with the forum =)
Really not overly keen about this new job. Too many cons and not enough pros. We shall see.
-
Yeah i hate my job..lol..i want to quit so bad, but not till i find another job at least, once i get out college will see. Not much on the market right now :?

What you doing at the moment?
-
I work at a grocery store, at the deli department :roll: exciting stuff i tell ya. ..lol..
-
I'll stay behind my desk where it's safe I think. If I'm lucky, my eyes might fall out soon. Certainly feels like it.
-
Eh its not ALL bad, i can't sit still for more then 5 min so this job keeps me moving around :lol:
So what excalty do you do?
-
MATT!!! I've missed you loads! Whatever happened to all of the chums, eh? They dissapated! Nere, Scum and I tried to contact you when we met in London but we couldn't get a hold of you :( How are you? Glad you're back!
-

I'm a web developer so I sit here tapping away on a laptop writing code all day =)
-
WOW..nice!! I would like to have a job where i'm at the computer all day..lol..
eh time for class i suppose!! talk to you later!!

ROSIE! Hello =)
Yes. I dissapated for a while. Sorry about that. Been busy doing lots of things and stuff at work and at home. I need them to extend the length of a standard day by about six hours. Might have some spare time to do stuff then! =)
I'm okay thanks. Just tired and sore-eyed. But apart from that things are good really. Could certainly be a lot worse!
What's Rosie been up to lately?
-
WOW..nice!! I would like to have a job where i'm at the computer all day..lol..
eh time for class i suppose!! talk to you later!!
Seems to be my vocation. It's killing my eyes though.

Ummm lots! Life is pretty much perfect right now! Got myself a boyfriend (hehe, 2 months now!!) and no its NOT Adam! Got all As in AS levels. Saw Nerea a lot in the summer. Doing psychology, politics and philosophy and thinking of applying to Cambridge next year (a year later than i should) for Social and Political Sciences.

All A's? Cambridge? Get you! Certainly puts me to shame. I really screwed up my A levels and ended up doing a degree I didn't really want to do, so it didn't last more than a couple of years! =)
Got any particular career in mind, miss brainy? ;)
Edit: Congrats on the b/friend. Hope it all continues to go well =)
-
Hehe, i have 5 As at AS now (sorry, don't get to actually say that often, lol)! A lot of people say i should go into politics, but i really don't know- its too unstable and backstabbing. I wish i kneeeew!

Just marry a rich guy and you'll be set for life =P

Trrrrrue! My boyfriend is rich already- he makes $5000 a month from websites. Bwhahaha. Yeah thats what i love, PRESENTS! ;)

Sir. Yes. Sir! Actually I'm in Ipswitch all the time (well, more like one weekend every two months)

lol. More than five trillion times better eh? Everybody (now including you) keeps telling me how great .net is, but my employer won't shell out for the software :-\
VanessaVoss.net will be .net soon enough, along with the forum =)
Sweet. Are you redesigning it too? Or just upgrading the back end?
Really not overly keen about this new job. Too many cons and not enough pros. We shall see.
Yeah. Plus, having to wear a suit? Is anything worth that? hehe

Tell me about it. When a 17 year old is making 10 grand a year more than me in his spare time from school, then I know that I'm definitely in the wrong business :-\ lol

He'd pull a Trump on me.. "You're fired" or just laugh in my face... :razz:

Tell your boss that if he doesn't get you .net and let you play around with it, you'll stab him with a stapler. You won't regret it (unless he gets rid of you). I hate using asp 3 now lol .. feels really old hat.
I'm doing a VV.net redesign as well. Really want to completely rewrite the forum if I can find the time.
In my last job I got used to wearing a suit to work, but I'm not so sure now. They can be a right pain. I always end up with painful shoes.
-

Of course! Threats of stabbings, the answer to all of lifes problems! Cheers Matto. I'm sending the email now.
You won't regret it (unless he gets rid of you).
That's equally appealing, I wouldn't have to work my notice :D

I finally caught you! :mrgreen:
Talk. I wanna know eeeeverything!
-
Isn't that a bit greedy? =P
-
Perhaps, but it'll make up for all the missed time =)
-
Well there's not much to tell either way. Went for a job, came reeeally close to getting it but didn't. Been working on a couple of websites. Work is work. Haven't bought any xmas presents yet. Eating minstrels. Etc Etc =)
-
Ahhh...sorry ya didn't get the job. Unless you didn't want it, in which case you can ignore that. I have done no Xmas shopping either...I hate it :(
Minstrels...yummy... I'd ask you to share, but that would be greedy.
Anyway, I better be off to class, Layla is waiting to walk me!! Take care Mattio. Miss you and love you <3
-
There will be other jobs =)
Have fun walking to class!

Try walking backwards next time.
Nice idea. That way it'll be made eventful by me tripping up and embarrassing myself.
Y'know, we went to the hospital today to visit my uncle and I was looking around, as you do, and I realized just how nasty nurses are. I wanna go back and hit them all with kippers!! [/randomrant]

I think kippers are fish..... not sure
