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

it's nice to hear about your life ... it's what makes us all different isn't it

I think you have to recognise when to throw in the in those kind of situations ... I realised some years ago that I don't deal well with stress at work although at home it's a different matter. Don't quite know what the difference is but there is a difference ... maybe it's because the stress at work is ultimately avoidable ... I also gave up a very stressful job to do what I do now, which has it's moments but I know when the chips are down the decisions land on someone elses desk That suits me.

Job satisfaction is what it's all about ... you spend far to long at work for it to make you ill

This'll make you laugh, I just looked up my birthday on a sit and this is what it said.

Your birth on the 17th day of the month suggests that you are very lucky financially, because this date indicates a solid business sense.


Although you are probably very honest and ethical, this birthday enables you to be shrewd and successful in the world of business and commercial enterprise.


You have excellent organizational, managerial, and administrative capabilities enabling you to handle large projects and significant amounts of money with relative ease.

<this sentence is true of me (I definitely find it easy to handle large sums of money, it never lasts long though)



You are ambitious and highly goal-oriented, although you may be better at starting projects than you are at finishing them.


A sensitivity in your nature, often repressed below the surface of awareness, makes it hard to give or receive affection.



It's somewhat accurate but then what can you make from just a date

.... I don't know what they can tell from your birth date and if you think of all the people in the world who share that date is that really true of all of them ???

but I'm one of those people who wavers between disbelief on the grounds as stated above and a kind of begrudging acknowledgement that some of those things are scarily accurate

I'm convinced your star sign is a reasonably good indicator of personality although why it should be so I'm not sure ....

It's a funny thing, all this spiritual stuff.

I'm not what you would call a spiritualist but I do have friends who are and have been to a few meetings (just to see).
There are as in any walk of life talented people and ones not so.
How they know what to say, I wouldn't like to offer an opinion.

As for horoscopes and the like, I'm not a believer but then I seem to be a typical piscean.
And that birthdate thing was fairly accurate, but then as you say how many people out there, are there that it would fit well enough for them to think there might be something in it.

I think I'm too much of a pragmatist to rely on wishfull thinking too much.

there you have it ... a typical Piscean ... as am I - I heard something about Pisceans which I'd never heard before a while back ... they always bleat on about us being dreamers etc etc but this one said we have a kind of self-destruct trait which is pretty difficult to resist .... rang a bell here

anyway ... maybe we can come back to this another day cos I've gotta sleep now

good to catch up with you at last ... chat again soon ... be safe

Yeah, the temptation to self-destruct is always lurking in the background somewhere


It's good to have caught up with you.


Have a good

Catch you soon


Night Night

Hello my


How are you?

Hi honey

oh ... y'know ...a bit Monday-ish today

how 'bout you?? how was your weekend??

Weekend was good.

A nice easy weekend, it was surprising how much I got done considering I wasn't really trying to do anything much.


For some reason I'm not feeling Monday-ish
But then I'm on lates and there was no real rush this morning to do anything.

Let's hope you feel more Tuesday-ish tomorrow

yes ... let's hope that ...

glad you had a good weekend - you're home quite early considering you're on a late shift ...

Not much to do tonight so got away on time



I'm on call so anything could happen but once I'm asleep I wont hear the phone anyway

un-plug it then you won't hear it now ... or isn't that quite the idea ??????

Not the home phone (they can't use that)

In fact I'm looking around and can't see the mobile (shame)

I suppose I'd better go find it, just in case

don't search too hard you might just find it ...

I'm off to bed now honey ... nice to catch you again - enjoy the rest of your evening

see ya soon

Night Night


I hope you feel better tomorrow

thanks ... me too

hey Frank

long time no chat ... how's the move going???

Blimey I thought I'd never catch you on here!!


House moving is in the final stages I'm going to sign the contracts tomorrow and then hopefully it wont be long.



How are you my

I'm impressed that they've let you out of work long enough to log on

I'm fine ta ... got a couple of weeks off work now so things are looking good at the mo

When are you hoping to move in??

i'm hoping to get it all over and done in the next three/four weeks at the latest.If I had my way I'd have been in there by now but all these things take a lot of time when legal people get involved




Work is a little slow at the moment mostly 'cause I think most of the consultants are on holiday, it's normally a bit slow this time of year.
