Today the plastic Xmas tree goes up.
But more importantly, I gotta find the Festivus pole!

oh no! I might have picked up an unwanted alien thing. So, I am getting popup questionnaires. I really do love spellcheck! And I just got one fro Time Warner and I had to check for sure (because that is what I do) if it was really Time Warner who became Spectrum and I thought, that's weird.
Too real to be a dream, but too weird to be real.

I was thinking of moving out on my own over the summer, but I realized I should be in grad school come fall, which means I may have to bump down to part-time employment, which means no moving out. But once I have my master's, I am going to move, very likely out of the country. Canada would be the closest and easiest, but Australia and New Zealand also look appealing. And it's hard to believe that in two years I'll go from a B to an M. As of now, I'm doubtful I'll get my Ph.D. 'Twould be nice, but I don't know if I'd want the extra schooling.
Huh?
This is me being ahead of schedule.

So, I noticed the last Random meaningless anouncement thread has been kinda broken with the numbers since a good while and I dont know if it is because of quantity of posts, so I decided to make a new one so maybe it wouldnt have such problem.
The same title that Sunstone used for the first one five years ago.
If it wasn't needed, admins may erase at will.
I think that "random meaningless " should be replaced with "random meaningful"

Oh. Then in that case, I find your lack of characteristic low standards disturbing.
Au contraire....my standards are lower than you thought.Oh. Then in that case, I find your lack of characteristic low standards disturbing.
It's not so much the schooling at that level, but why you would want it outside of the sense of accomplishment.
Now you're channeling Star Wars!Oh. Then in that case, I find your lack of characteristic low standards disturbing.

I checked my bank statement, and it turns out I was billed twice for my gym membership today.
I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't notice that.
But I have an excuse....
While posting, I'm having a simultaneous conversation while watching STV (Renaissance Man).

The sense of accomplishment and maybe about $20,000 more a year would be about it.

I've tried so hard to get into V, but Janeway is a bland captain IMO and they deviated way too far from what the Borg are supposed to be. But it's like a home-run compared to this new rubbish that wrongly bears the title Star Trek. And here I thought it couldn't be butchered and massacred anymore than what Jar Jar Abrams did to it.
Is anyone else getting Time Warner popups? I have never got popups and there is no Time Warner anymore, I think.

I feel I did well overall today with my diet. I did have a breakfast of carbs, but a light dinner and no soda. And because I'm getting more used to my work/sleep cycle, I started back on DDR today since I'm not bushwhacked tired when I get home.
Tomorrow I'm going to have eggs in a basket for breakfast, and I'm thinking about having chicken and rice for dinner.

Turns out they're still around. Turns out their main three divisions are HBO, Turner Broadcasting, and Warner Bros.
You might want to start planning as soon as possible.
I have a friend who moved to Canada a few years back. Her kids were grown, divorced, getting over life here in smalltown Indiana. She met this guy online, a Canadian, just about the time that the Republican Recession and the Bush Wars and all were heating up. She decided to marry the guy and move. She had major credentials, masters in environmental biology and 20 years teaching biology at the university level.
Moving there was a huge headache of red tape and such. Getting a job was even worse. The Canadians could obviously afford to be real choosy about immigrants and work papers and such. Unlike the USA, you can't just hop over the border and get a job.
In February she decided not to renew her contract with the university which left her free to leave the beginning of June. By the end of June they were married and she was piling all her stuff in a giant UHaul truck and on her way. The next couple of years were a string of disasters and set backs, luckily they were madly in love. Most of the problems she attributed to simple lack of planning and not anticipating how long the bureaucracy would need to accomplish simple things. She wanted, for instance, a job comparable to her old one. A nearby university had regular turnover like anywhere and had openings regularly. But in order for them to give a position to a non-citizen, the position had to be vacant for a minimum of a year before she could be considered. And the government was in no hurry to even give the equivalent of a green card so she could get anything. Citizenship itself was no picnic and took a long time. That was while married to a born Canuck.
She had tons of stories, but it was all a long time ago. All I am really getting at is to realize that other first world countries aren't as wild and free as the USA and advance planning the sort of thing you are describing could make it vastly smoother and easier.
Hope things work out for you.
