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

Much better, thank you for your kind comments

I don't know, I shouln't be in the job I am without a degree of some sort, so thats kind of odd. And I think I'll build my own road when it comes to friends, they are out there waiting to be friendly.

Good stuff

I start a new job-ish tomorrow. well it's a sideways transfer, and I fear it might be out of the frying pan....

a job-ish?

a problem?

-- DoctorMO --

Same organisation, same directorate. And from what i can gather not a lot different in the work either.

Ah well, my horrorscope says my career's about to take off

into a side road were you get an odd smell and an eiry light.

-- DoctorMO --

No that was the sulphurous smell of the hot water springs in iceland last week

must change my name....

Oooh, what to?

-- DoctorMO --

The bit at the end. I think I may even have pinched it from your space!

loses somthing in the translation?

yea It was a quote from times past I belive.

how are you anyway?

-- DoctorMO --

I'm suffering a bit from post-holiday-blues

And my credit card took a severe bashing in Iceland so I'm broke for a few months..

..and work's a bore

..and dont get me started on men!


Hang on....I think I hear the theme tune from Freinds playing in the background....

"Your job's a joke, your broke, your love life's D.O.A"

You have FRIENDS...

Life is always like that, perceptiual.

-- DoctorMO --

Actually the finances might be OK. Just had to rearrange a few funds from one place into another.

And friends - yay! I offered one friend who's just split up with her boyfriend my spare room, so now I get a built-in babysitter who pays me to be there, and she gets a cheap room.

heh, sounds like a great deal!

hope there's no heart ache?

-- DoctorMO --

Ach, we'll probably spend a few nights drinking wine and moaning about how awful men are

heh, god I hate the buggers they give us males a bad name.

Or is it that women only go out with duck 'eds, it seems that way, most women I know are man haters and I don't know why. I'm not like that, I don't know were they pick these people up.

-- DoctorMO --

Sorry, I dont really think all men are awful.

but most men are arn't they, not perfect or unconcerning, and thats putting it simply.

-- DoctorMO --

Well I can only give my opinions on those I know, so despite what you might have heard that does not qualify as "most men"


Hmmm...if I have to generalise on personal experience it would be "selfish, arrogant, vain, rude"

But that probably describes me, too. On a good day

I will now atempt as is my want to break down your words...

selfish, posible unwilling to commit but could be plain old insecurity too.

arrogant, male shovenism, you don't get any girl with no confidence and most men phsyc them selves up against each other which results in a high tide head.

vain, I've not seen this to a large extent but it could just be my unique standing.

rude, would be that brass coming out again, insecurity see.

-- DoctorMO --

Selfish = only seeing things from their point of view, choosing actions which suit them best, regardless of how that affects others. Words most unlikely to say "Would that be OK with you?"

Arrogant = always assuming they know everything, and that everything they know is right. Words most unlikely to be spoken "I'm not sure/ I don't know" c.f refusal to stop and ask for directions when lost.

Vain = not in a preening, "always checking self in mirror" way. Almost the reverse, in fact. A cocky self-assurance that they are attractive no matter what they are wearing. Words most unlikely to say "Does my bum look big in this?"

Rude - OK, I'm probably thinking of the flashy pub/ club scene here, and you're right, there is definitely a competitive streak which comes out in a group of lads. Most unlikey to say "Excuse me"
