What's making me happy right now? Alcohol. Large large amounts.

I should probably start posting more constructive things to this thread other than saying I've been drinking.

Oh well.

[Mr.James]

My mom came back from france after a 6 months absence, and she brought me a cool new watch which is making me very happy..
also, I just plowed through the ending of RotCG which finally makes me free to sink my teeth into DOD!!
My Xbox just came back from being repaired from RROD with Assassins Creed II and Dragon Age as a bonus!!
and to top it all off I have a week long holiday!!
things are going dandy 'round here!!

ooh and I forgot, my driver's license comes out on Thursday..

Congratulations! Yes, this is the only level I can communicate on.

My ratbag siblings are still at school...whilst yours truly is NOT!

Saturday morning, hangover free I love lying in bed and doing nothing.

Yeah that's the worst thing about living alone

A lovely cup of tea. Had a great time with Rodeo, and he is heading off to Oxford now, and this cup of tea is soothing my slightly fragile stomach after masan's saddle kept pouring drinks into us last night...

You big blouse Tiste, NEVER blame the booze !

It was obviously that ropey chicken curry and chips from Caroline street.

Be sure to put in a loft with a bar.

Just had my corrections accepted for the PhD thesis so the thing is finally over have to get it printed and bound but no more work on that giant steaming turd of work that I spent 4 years of my life working at. This is a great feeling and now I can continue with living out in Japan teaching english (had enough of medical microbiology by the end of the PhD). So will be drinking heavily to celebrate.

[Binder of Demons]

Wow Valgrad, massive congrats. I'm only half way through my PhD (assuming things go smoothly from now on, which is very very unlikely) and I know it can be very frustrating, so I can only imagine the relief and excitement at finishing.

Try not to pickle your liver too badly.

[caladanbrood]

Congrats Valgard

Congratulations! Have fun celebrating! It's really a great achievement - I can imagine how good it must feel to finally close that chapter... (and hope in a year or two I will also know it first hand if my full-time work doesn't keep interfering with my research... )

Well done Valgard, go do what you like, Biology is for losers anyway

[Mezla PigDog]

Congrats Dr Valgard! If you are ever tempted to go back to research, I can assure you that it probably won't feel as bad as your phd. It is still awful at times but you kind of get used to it and convince yourself that everything is fine

And to all those working towards them, nothing I have encountered since my phd has been as hard so keep plugging away and remind yourself of the fact that nobody will ever really look at your thesis after your viva anyway (I don't even know where mine is right now!!).

Very true. That stuff was deliciously disgusting.

I passed my next round of Police Interviews! I think this pretty much means I have a job once I pass medical and police vetting, and seen as I am fit and healthy and I have a clean police record cos no-one has ever caught mecos I'm a well behaved member of society I should pass those! I am nearing the end of unemployment methinks.

And congrats Valgard, must be an amazing feeling!

[Tremolo]

Congratulations Valgard and Simeon.

[Cougar]

After what seems like a week of trying to weave an elephant a waistcoat out of custard, I think I've finally managed to reconcile the post-war planning and architecture literature with Zygmunt Bauman, now we stir gently with some boozing and schmoozing this evening and allow the ideas to percolate.

Exciting times, as you can imagine.

[caladanbrood]

I can honestly say I didn't understand a word of that.




But well done

It's been a bad week in the winning friends department. I am usually good at hiding my gumpy sod tendencies at work but this week I have managed to let people know that I don't care about their pet stories, am not interested in tales of their children, hate charity and despise Christmas.

We really need you in the Grumpy Old Sods group.

I got the word "boozing"

I have been teaching my friend Rome Total War and we just had a great evening killing French people and drinking beer.
