The little Coffee Shack, Life goes on! Options

[milanius]

I just got a call they accepted me to that course I applied for. I am only moderately excited, but hyped too, because not many things have gone in the right direction during my life... this could be decent' if executed properly Now, all I have to think is technicalities: bus fairs to training center, changing my lifestyle for the next several months [no more Mr. Late Night Chat, sadly] and starting to actually work for a change this is going to be fun.

EDIT: well, there are good and bad news. The course lasts 260 classes [] and I really don't know how will we squeeze that into 3 months... and, on top of all, the only certificate we get is the Electronic Industry's own internal certificate - nothing about the equivalent of A+ was ever mentioned but hell, life goes on, I guess.

CONGRATS MIL - I'm very happy for you! I hope this is the start of something really wonderful for you.

Hmm car wrecks abound aye?

Yea, just had my second car wreck yesterday ..

Comming off I-95 and merging onto the highway at roughly 65-70 mph and this dude comes into my lane and bumps me into a fishtail and I end up backwards on the this highway and he crashes along the guardrail. And I get the ticket. Cause I'm young and inexperienced.

It was quite fun, but now not only do I drive a crappy car, but I drive a crappy car with the front end smashed in O_o

Just finished chilling with my best friend in Marin County for the last weekend of freedom before I go to Ashland, gave him the pipe I bought for him in Peru, everything's good.

After nearly 4 months of unemployment, I now work in a warehouse at Toys R Us till the end of December. I can finally get that new PC I want, find out what Oblivion is like and then maybe get that hamster and call him Boo.

then maybe get that hamster and call him Boo.

sounds good to me, and congrats on the job.

Hi all. I've finally taken a break from Flight Sim while I wait for Flight Sim X and started playing Oblivion again. Started a new game with the OOO mod. Can't remember the full name now, but it looks good so far. Found the link on the front page here. Much harder to make money with it, that's for sure, and I've met some interesting new creatures that is way tougher than my level 3 character...

I now have to get to everything through ctrl alt delete and then do new task from there. Everything works fine, I just don't have any icons or a tool bar. I know how to fix the problem, the fact is that I'm just too lazy. I don't have the heart to reformat it, so until I do I have to deal with everything through new task.

A bit late here, and you probably know this by now, but to get the desktop back simply type 'explorer' where you start new apps, from the 'New Task' button from the Ctrl-Alt-Del menu.

I'll go and get a cup of coffee...

I defragged my computer and start playing anarchy online as a blue fixer named Weedwood

[Ramirez]

I used to play AO but I gota bit bored of it. And then one of the files corrupted so I just uninstaled it.

[Konji]

Hey Olav have you got the flight simulator X demo?

[The Metal Mallet]

Personally, I can't wait for Saturday night. My buddy is buying UFC 63 and I'm so eager to watch the fights just because the fight card is really, really good. The former lightweight champ is fighting, David Loiseux is fighting Mike Swick, and then the title fight is going to be fantastic. It's slightly regrettable because the original challenger was supposed to be Georges St.Pierre but due to injury in training he had to withdraw. Penn is a good fighter though and it'll be interesting to see if Hughes (the champion) will be able to avenge his lost to his previous fight with Penn.

Still it's TWO whole days away.... ARGH!

Channler, I think that sucks that you got the ticket although it was the other guy who bumped you! I-95 is really dangerous here in Florida too. I hear about accidents there all the time.

Ramirez - I am SOO happy for you dude! You got a job and at such a nice place - Toys R Us. Might get tired of the wee people by December, but I'm also jealous that you'll be able to experience Oblivion as it should be run. Cain has been nice enough to make a character for me on his comp and we play her together. It is really great to feel Oblivion happening.

Doomie, we are playing AO again too. Just got in the mood for it, both at the same time, so we are in. My gal is mostly a jeweler, so she wouldn't be that exciting to meet. Cain has a fixer char, they are awesome. Glad you had such a good time in Peru too.

Congrats. Tell me how NYC is. (Haven't been there, myself)

[Ibis]

NYC is rough, tough and over the top in all ways. Be careful when you are there Minque. They eat visitors on bagels for breakfast, even the New Jersey variety visitors from acrost the river. tahaha! Michiganites will seem like a dream of welcoming angels after NYC, I assure you. I have been to both places. And both have wonderful things to see. Ohhh, and you are going to love the Smokey Mountains & in the fall! The autumn leaves changing color. Bet you like it there best.

=========

I just want to REALLY encourage Milanius to take that course no matter what it is and get every drop from it that you can. After you get the knowledge from them = you can take the A+ certification test on your own. Here in the states anyone can take the test at a testing center for $150.00 for each part, hardware & software, or $210.00 if you want to take both tests together, which is harder. I don't know how it is handled elsewhere. Sometimes you can pay for a 'review class' and also have a lesser test fee included in the cost.

But good luck and STUDY, Write everything down, review and review until you know things by heart. The knowledge is the power, the money can be gotten somehow. Wait tables at 3 jobs for 2 weeks, whatever. The main thing is to pass the A+ certification and then no one can ever take that from you and it opens alot of doors. It really does. Good luck.

For breakfast? Hehe if they try me on a bagel they´ll certanly get more than they can chew...No but I´ll be careful, also my daughter will come to NYC and we´ll be there together, she could be my bodyguard...muhaha.

I have seen my family´s pics from their visit this summer, and they were great!. Ann Arbor also seems to be a very nice town, it will be fun to see how my kid´s been living this past year.

The smokies..ahh yes, I´ve seen so many beautiful views from there on the net so that will be awesome.
Oh and I have also ordered a rental car when I arrive..hmmm probably with automatic transmission! Ehhh that will be a new experience for me,.........Hopefully I´ll manage to get it out of the parking place......

Oh and Danny! I´ll tell you all about NYC, in pictures!

[Saffas Missionary]

The complete sob story about my 3 last days

[minque]

I just want to say bye-bye....I´m off to US tomorrow morning, I´ll try to keep in touch!

Milanius: My thoughts are with you as always!

[Saffas Missionary]

Coming here eh Minque? And Sorry to hear that Milanius, hope you feel better. Oh I got a name change Used to be FafsaTheElf, but I figuered that I have all these ownage signitures and avatars on my other forum name, that I might as well use them here too. I dont own the PSD files for any of them though, so I cant change the name on them (You see, I get them on D2JSP forum, and I buy them with forum gold from diablo II LoD ^^)
