Topic: Quiet

[scottws]

So it has been almost a week since anyone posted anything on this part of the board.  I don't think it's ever gone a day without at least one post.  So, what's up?

I've been packing up my house and readying it for sale.  Trying to unload tons of furniture and yard maintenance equipment prior to moving.  Working tons still, but I am so glad I only have a week left.  I know the grass isn't always greener, but I am pretty sure it will be this time.

I'm just lazy. Currently watching the Weird Al Show on DVD. Yay!

[TheOtherBelmont]

Too many games have been coming out and I haven't been posting as much because of it.  I've been posting on the gaming forum some but not here.

[Xessive]

Sorry, I was gone on family vacation for a week.

Also, where is Pug?!

[PyroMenace]

Tonight Que and I went out and met Dogma and his girlfriend, we had a pretty good time even though it was for just one evening. I bugged him to drop by, hopefully he does.

July 4th looms.  This year, that's worse than Christmas here.  A lot of my family from all over is descending on Cincy for that weekend.  So I've been doing a lot of busiwork related to that.  It may sound early, but it isn't, because my girls fly in on Tuesday.  Plus this weekend I'm in Ft Wayne with Sandy.  It's going to be a marathon for a couple of weeks after that, so I may be posting even less.

[Quemaqua]

I rarely ever start threads. I don't know why that is.

But yeah, it was cool to finally meet Dogma. Had a nice evening. He and his chick are cool people.

Been working my ass off and school started last week. This is the first quarter entirely at OSU. Have to say I'm digging it, but by the end of the week, I'm dead tired.

We cleaned up our place, and now it looks like a mature persons family dwelling. Before, most of it kind of looked like a teenage boys apt with some girl shit here and there. No band, comic book character, or video game posters all over the place. I do have most of my gaming stuff confined to a general "gaming area" now. Poster, toys, collectors edition stuff, and I like it. It's like my own little place to get away.

But, I hung pictures, like an adult! Had a couple of pics that I've taken over the years framed and matted. Looks nice. Although, I think one pic looks like a leaf of weed. Looks cool in the hall though.

We also took a bunch of stuff we cleaned up and had a garage sale. Made $200, so that was cool. It's amazing all the weird shit people will by. Used nose hair trimmer? Sure, some old dude will give you like $2.

I just got back from Florida last week, sir. And while I wouldn't necessarily want to live there, I enjoyed it quite a bit better than Columbus. Or any part of Ohio for that matter. And the weather! Oh the weather. I will be envious of you come this winter. Fuck snow and ice up here. When I finally move, I don't care if I ever see that crap again. Downside is that you're quite a bit further away from, Paul Brown Stadium...

What are you going to school for?

I just got back from Florida last week, sir. And while I wouldn't necessarily want to live there, I enjoyed it quite a bit better than Columbus. Or any part of Ohio for that matter. And the weather! Oh the weather. I will be envious of you come this winter. Fuck snow and ice up here. When I finally move, I don't care if I ever see that crap again.

Columbus is a pretty cool city.  I visited my sister there last fall and we went to the arena district and that other nicer bar district.  I forget what she called it, but I do remember she said it was known as having a fairly high concentration of homosexuals.  Both of those places offer a whole lot more culture than Cincy does anywhere.

The weather is the number one reason I am looking forward to the move.  Sure, the summers will be pretty oppressive, but I actually don't mind 85+ degree weather and high humidity as much as a lot of people do.  And the other 3/4 of the year will smack down any weather Southwest Ohio can offer.  I love warm to hot weather.  Fuck rain, fuck snow, fuck chilly mornings and evenings.

But a warm Christmas is going to take some getting used to.

Downside is that you're quite a bit further away from, Paul Brown Stadium...

Yeah, that is going to be one of the tough parts.  Not really being able to catch the Bengals or Reds on TV, in person, or even on the radio.  I frequently decide "I want to go to the Reds game today," and I'll get a group together and go.  No more.  It's not like I'm going to become a Dolphins or Marlins fan.

[ScaryTooth]

I'm currently in the process of deciding my major. My GE courses are done this quarter, and I'm honestly thinking of Computer Science. Just a little hesitant as I have very little programming experience, but I do pick it up quickly. But I guess that is what school is for. That and I'm getting started pretty late in a competitive field. Plan be is Biological Science.

You are talking about German Village. It's a cool ass area, and yes, it is extremely gay.

For the last couple years I've made it down there to see the Bengals a few times. It's about about an hour and fifteen minutes from here. It's a lot of fun.

That's cool.  I hung out with Ian when he was out in DC a few years ago.  Good guy.

German Village didn't sound familiar so I asked her.  She said it was "Short North".

[ScaryTooth]

Ahh, yeah, that area is also pretty gay, But it's cool. It's just south of OSU campus.

[gpw11]

Busy as a motherfucker here. Parent's not doing well, new job takes up a lot more time and I'm finding it hard to fit much else in.  Apart from Game of Thrones.

[beo]

i'm working six days a week, so free time is generally spent in recovery mode. just had a long weekend up in london on a stag do, which involved some much needed destruction / relaxation, which was nice.

[scottws]

Geez, sounds like work is killing everyone.  I have been working about 60 hours a week the last month.  I'm burned out.  Just four and a half days left...

[Ghandi]

I've been working 45 hours a week plus I'm moving very soon to a new place, and I've been helping some people out constantly with different things. I've been spending my downtime shooting pool and darts at a local bar, which is an excellent way to relax, so I haven't been on here as much at night. 

[Cools!]

Programming and StarCraft 2!

[sirean_syan]

Remember when summers were a time to relax?

Past couple of weeks have been busy for me as well. I got back from field work of weeks ago have spent much of the time in the lab so my samples are nice an stable and work threads are nicely in order. Next week Aimee and I are heading to California for about a month for all sorts of exciting stuff.

[scottws]

So today the director of IT asked if I wanted to work remote for a couple of weeks.  I know I should for the money, but I really, really don't want to.

Edit:  I don't want to not because I am lazy, but because I am so damn over working there.

[scottws]

Dammit.  I am going to agree to work remotely part time.  The plus is that I think I might be able to swing my full salary.  We'll see.

In other news I got my first callback regarding a job in FL.  Meeting the guy next week.

[K-man]

Ultimately money is money.

And yeah work's been hectic for me too.  Plus I have posted less because I keep the IRC channel on at work now, and really I have nothing constructive to talk about.
