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

I am waiting to hear from the university personnel office. i've seen a house but may lose it whilst waiting around...I can't say yes until i have my contract..just in case...my new boss was chasing them up on friday as I am needed asap, with term starting.
usual stuff really..nowt changes

That is just un-necessary pressure really is'nt it? You just take care not to do yourself a mischief, no job is worth risking health for you know.

I am fine ..just everything at once..i'll be alright as soon as I have dates sorted etc.

good oh, how's Nessie doing? Is she back studying or working? Have'nt seen her online for some time now.

well she's hoping to do further study but for now she's applying for Lab jobs to get some experience.she is busy with her friends that are back at the uni ...some of them took a year out so are back for a final year.

oh right, she obviously enjoyed the stint in the lake district then. All adds to the cv does'nt it.

yeah it's catch 22 they need experience to do things but where do they get it? so she has decided the best thing is to work and then study part time for her masters degree.A Lab job , even at the bottom, will give her experience. She has her life mapped out..or at least her career.

I know, thats where old fashioned apprenticeships were great, when I did my motor engineering I had combination of 5 years work and study so at the end you had both the qualification and some experience. They should bring them back in my view. best way to learn all round i reckon.

a lot of people lost out when they disappeared, especially young men.

Yep, trouble is also today they do fitters course, whereas mine was engineering, difference between repairing an item or just replacing one.

Don't worry, not gonna do the diesel fitters joke!!

phew saved by the bell

mad as a march hare me!! it's me meds you know!!

I think they are designed to slow you down..god knows what you were like before

Err if what my brother says is true, hyper-active apparently.He used to say I never knew when to call it quits, especially if i worked a double shift non-stop or climbed a series of mountains within a set time.
My average walking speed, normal walking speed was just over 5mph, with a 65litre back pack, loaded, it was the same!

Now feels like i go backwards all the time!!

well we all slow down when we are older..i expect you would have slowed down anyway even without the illness. Your mind is active though and that is what counts

Oh yus, lots of room in my head for that ickle braincell. does a lot of bouncing around you know, reckon thats what me headaches are!!

I don't even want to think about my brain ceasing to function, it misfires sometimes, I can handle that, just!

I gave you a spare flirty brain cell ..that should tickle a bit

Oh yus, thats, err, lets say in reserve just now...

you never know when it might come in useful

This is true, must'nt waste it!

Hope you've got some spares though just in case.
