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

I was lurking around, and found your space. Welcome!

I also see you're a friend of Aaron's! He's a great guy, and I miss him around here. Have you had a chance to read some of his "missives"? They're really very good!

See ya round!

- Shea

Hey! Thanks for the nice welcome.

Aaron's the one that showed me the site. He told me about how he posts stuff, so I've read most of them now. Still have a few more to go...but I'll get to them sometime. I miss him too. He really is a great guy. Hopefully he'll be back before too long!

I hope so too!

So ... who's sweetheart are you? Or is it just a nickname?

Well, it's partly just a nickname that I've had pretty much my whole life, but I am someone's sweetheart too.

You can possibly guess who's...

Hmm ... I'll have to think about this a while ...

Yeah, I don't think the guess would be too hard.

I suppose not ...

So, any pointers on things I should check out on the site?

Well Casey, it just so happens that I have a page I made with a bunch of links on it.

You might want to check it out. I tried to put something for everyone there!

Thanks for the page of links. I've checked out a few already, and hope to continue lurking about the pages.

You're welcome! Another fun thing to do is to go to the h2g2 homepage and click on one of the 5 Busiest Conversations. Things are usually hopping in those places!

I'll have to go check that out. Thanks for the idea.

This one's fun too:

You get to see which conversations have *just* been posted to ...

Thanks for all the links you've been sending. It will definately give me something to do at work tomorrow!

I'm posting from work myself ... much better than working!

Oh yeah! I have a job on campus at ECU, and it gets so boring, and my boss is out this week, so I will probably be on-site all day tomorrow lurking around.

Where do you work, or what do you do?

I'm an online artist for the online version of the newspaper Newsday. I suppose you could figure out the url from that! I work second shift. Today is even later, because I go to college part-time, and today's class doesn't end until 5pm. So I work until midnight to make up for it. I usually get out at 11pm.

So, you like working there? It doesn't sound too bad.

I am getting tired of my job! I've been there almost a year and a half, and I am just so tired of being on campus. Especially because of this summer...I had 2 jobs n campus, and barely took any days off, so now it is driving me crazy!!

It's actually a very good job! I come from advertising, and it was pretty high pressure, because the sales reps were always ignoring deadlines, so we were the ones that had to rush to get things done on time. I'm in news now, but unless something *huge* happens, it's not too much pressure at all.

I'm sorry to hear you're getting tired of your job. That'll happen if you don't get any time off. I once took most of my time in January, and by August I was getting very antsy! Don't forget to make time for yourself!

I'm slowly learning that. My boss is out this week, so I figured I would take Friday off. Why not have an "extra" day to my weekend...well after my dreaded classes.
