h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just a random wandering by to say hello!

How you doin'?
..by the way, I'm curious, what's the origin of your name?
-Peter, the girl.

Hei!

Its always nice when someone stops by to say hello

As to the origin of my name, its really simple; My RL firstname is Ane, and I have always wanted Rikke as a middle name.

Why? Because when you put the two names together you get "anerikke" - or "aner ikke" - and that is norwegian for "I have no idea"

(oh - and Im not doing fine at the moment - is only a matter of hours before I have to hand in a rather large report... so now Im procrastinateing as hard as I can... )

You know, that is pretty dang cool right there, AneRikke...
I feel I must call you by your full nick now because that is just too awesome.

Break a leg on your report! (I'm a theatre geek) I remember this one time I pulled an all nighter due to procrastination and finished the paper two hours before class.. I did abysmally on that final, but eh, passed the class!


-Peter

Thats my plan tonight as well... (an all nighter that is ) So I'll probably be looking like by the morning... And hopfully I'll pass aswell!

What kind of theatre geek are you then? Like to play? Or to see? Me - I like to make the scenery (if that is what you calle it in english ) and props and be "backstage"

AneRikke

Eek! A techie! As am I.. I'm the particularly scary form of techie known as the stage manager.. But I'm not horrible, I swear!

sea and I have a techie guild at A765524 but it's not quite all there yet, still need to write some more.. Consider this your invite.

Break a leg! All nighters are horrid.. and yeah, you do look like in the morning.. and feel like it! Make sure to get LOTS of sleep after you get home..


-Peter

I'd love to get a lot of sleep when I get home - exept that I can't. I've got a plane to catch in 15 hours... And am supposed to be at w*rk tuesday morning... (its now almost monday morning here)

It is going to be my first day there - and Ill be a total mess. Ohwell - somuch for first impressions...

Nice little guild youve got going I think I could feel at ease in that guild myself if I may. Im wearing steel-toed boots at this very moment! And I'm very handy with strips and "Gaffa"teip. And I have both a letherman and maglite close at hand in any situation

AneRikke

It's so fun to meet other techies.. In a non-stressful environment, that is.. I'm a techie but I'm not very knowledgeable yet, so I'm still a little intimidated by my peers at the college.. (I can't believe I just used the word "peers" in normal conversation.. )

Welcome to the Guild! I swear, we'll get more written on that thing soon and it will be perty and stuff.

Oy.. How come you're taking a flight to get to your new work? That's gotta be pretty yucky.. but wow. You're giving yourself a lot of punishment, there, chica.. Yikes. Break a leg! *sends you what little sleep she got last night.. at least all I have to deal with is idiots who can't run copy machines..*



-Peter the girl.

Well - Im going home to live with my parent for the holiday - and tomorrow is first day at my summerjob at home As i do not study close to home - I have to fly to get there

Looking forward to se what you are going to write in the the Guild pages

What kind of place is it that you are, as you call it, "a techie" in? And what do you do, and so on?

AneRikke



(they are clad in black as well you know )

Ah.. I see! My summer's already about halfway over, unfortunately.. 'Cos I'm starting a new show on July 17th, and then I will have absotively no time. Well maybe not NO time, but it won't all be roses and staying up late like it has been so far.

I'm a techie at my college, San Jose State University. I'm also a part of a club called Performing Artists and Craftsmen (PAC), which is who is sponsoring the show I'm doing this summer.

ACK! My job is evil!! I absolutely hate bugs. HATE bugs. And I had to go kill the ants. So now I've got RAID all over me, and two hours left of my shift.. yucky! Anyway that is just my little rant..

So where are you going to school? And what's your summer job?



-Peter

Finnished!!! Pushed the print button! The only thing left is to copy some papers that are to go in with it!
Have one you too

I have no idea of what my job is going to be. I think the secretary is on holiday - so ill fill her shoes. And also some painting and washing and stuff. Not exactly funny, but I _need_ the money! What kind of job have you got - are you killing ants all the time?

I go to school (or rather university) in Trondeim. Thats about halfway up in Norway So ill fly all the way down to Oslo this evening.

And by the way - thanx for making this awful night a bit lighter to work trough

AneRikke -

signing off for today

GO ANERIKKE!!!

I work at a copy shop (Kinko's) as a copy drone. The ants are a new development.. Usually I'm showing dumb people how to use copy machines. (Honestly, most of them are really DUMB.. *shrugs* but they pay my salary so eh.) Hey, painting is fun.. It's like being back in set construction!

*nods* Right on.. do you like your uni?

Anytime! Break a leg at your new job, chica.. and then go and get some sleep!!

-Peter (Passes along some )

First day at work - and they hardly have got time to tell me what to do (so I just anser telefones - or rather patch them over to someone that knows better than me ) Hope to get more/other things to do later.

I do like my university (norwegian university of technology and sience (nuts ) But after 4 years im looking forward to finnishing tere within a year And hopefully getting a "real" job

AneRikke
(still sleepy)

Eek! Those silly people, don't they know you're terribly important, dangit! Hopefully they can find a bit of time to help out the new guy soon..

Right on! I've sill three + more years of uni.. A "real" job eh? What is real anyway..

-Peter, for whom it's nearly 4AM
