Ayre el KaBeer Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi all, as some of you know I've been looking for work for a very long time and between that working on getting my MCSE and volunteering at high schools I've had very little free time on my hand. After 8 months of searching I finally scored a helpdesk job at a far away ISP nd now it looks like I'll be having much much less time, between the 8 hour shifts and 3 hour travel time by the time I get home and get anything done it will already be past bed time. I will keep checking in every day or two, nothing could take me away from this place permanently, but untill I get settled with my job I doubt I'll be posting very much at all. Thanks to those of you that are keeping up the traditions of wishing fellow members happy birthdays and welcoming those new to this freindly place, this is by far my favorite community so take care of her when the likes of me can't do it as much as we'd like.Thanks for everything guys.Fred Salem (a.k.a. the big guy!). ::wink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprocket Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Best of luck to you with your new job, Ayre. With that much commuting time, you'll probably be needing it eventually... ::wacko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayre el KaBeer Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Thanks guys. The travel time is actualy 3hours total sorry for the misunderstanding, if it was each way i'd never have taken the job without arranging a place to rent. This first week of training was much the same as sitting in a classroom and going over potential issues and sales queries customers may have while on the line with us. My body is so not used to getting up so early that I've lost ~5kg (~11lb) in these past 5 days, ironic that I lost the most weight in this kind of time ever without physical activity, no? ::tongue Renting audio books sounds like a great idea, I'll look into it asap, I wonder if anyone is selling audiobooks on mp3 format... ::biggrinEDIT: Could someone pm me if a new aberrant game starts after a month from now? (or if one of the old ones I'm in should resume?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat82 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Best of luck Ayre, and if you happen to have MSN, then there could be an *cough* arangement for mp3-audiobooks going your way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooho Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Congrats, Ayre. Maybe you should invest in one of those portable DVD players. Who needs to watch a movie when you can listen to it on the monotonous drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
