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

Hello! Assuming you're the same Barney's Bucksaws as woz around here before (I can't imagine it being a particularly common nickname...), are you having trouble reviving your old account? Say so if you are, if you poke the right people hard enough they'll resend you your password etc.

The gold mine sounds interesting... feel like writing a Guide entry on working in a gold mine?! What do you do there?

Peregrin! I'm way behind in answering notes! I've been all wrapped up in a computer game - a roll-playing thing in ancient Greece, and its just about all I've done for weeks. I finally got through the last adventure this morning. Except for quick trips in and out, I haven't been on-line much.

The gold mine was really interesting. Its an underground mine, and one of the best producers in North America. I learned a LOT - but I'm glad to be home. They only hired me on a contract, which was ok, because I wouldn't want to spend my entire career living part time at home, and part time there. So, I'm unemployed, catching up on the other important things and people in my life, and trying to get back to as normal as I ever am. Its good to be back

Sounds familiar, I've been absorbed in the game Black & White for ages... These things are just too addictive.

Absolutely! This one's Zeus, and I love Greek mythology anyway. I just had a great time, but it consumed far too much of my time. When I wasn't playing, I was thinking of what to do next.

To finish answering your first post - I'm working on an entry on working at the gold mine. I was the Purchasing Agent and warehouse supervisor. It was a lot of fun. I love what I do.
