Im sorry Alex, but it wasn't written until after 2001 so I can't help you there.

I certainly don't think I will ever be tempted to get a PhD in anything, maybe a Master's if I have drive.


I was referring to my career choice; not that I stopped loving art history, but it proved to be an awful idea in what regards getting jobs, earning money, etc. Too bad I was so bad at maths, maybe if I knew what expects me I would have chosen computers or smth. There is an overall deficit of IT people in the EU of over five hundred f**king thousands, that makes me rage!

Too late Henry, it's already a thing...though for once I have to agree with you about an internet thang and say it kinda bugs me.

Well I should sleep. I need to wake up way earlier than usual tomorrow since I'll need to clean off my car. It looks like we may have close to 20" when it's done after all. There's alot of snow on the ground.

I thought we had too many IT people after the dot com bust and the joys of outsourcing, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics disagrees with me. I guess they're assuming that companies are going to expand their computer infrastructure and will need somebody actually there to tend to the ever more powerful computers with ever more complicated software. I can't blame you alex, programming is a bitch in my experience, although you really only have to know enough math to know how to make the computer do it. However, I was only 12 at the time and I could have told you that finding a job in art history would be impossibly difficult!

My plan, if I ever do become a real EE, is to get a job in the military industrial complex like Pat, suckling at the teat of the government is the way to go.

I have no idea where I'd work if I pursued EMA, but if I decide to pursue ME, I'd want to find a job with a small arms development company like Colt or Magpul, or even going overseas to work at FN Herstal or Heckler and Koch would be sweet.

I guess I'm off to bed nao

On new year's eve I'll be alone, unfortunately, so I'll probably go mingle with the crowd in some public space. I'm sure there will be fireworks or other such spectacular mumbo-jumbo. You?

We're going up to Kuopio to my parents' place tomorrow and we'll spend the rest of the year there. We're taking one of our dogs with us, the one who's afraid of loud noises, there'll be a lot less fireworks there than here at home (gotta take her sedatives just in case, though). I'm really looking forward to this trip, we're arriving just in time for my brother's birthday party and on 30th we're going to a hockey game.

So in essence we're escaping the spectacular mumbo-jumbo Tongue

Can't they invent fireworks that don't make so much noise? Angry

Some people in my street buy gigantic rolls of fireworks every year worth of hundreds of euro's that don't have any visual effect but just make noise. 
It's terrible. Fireworks must be banned from this world. They are bad for the environment, smell disgusting, and some meanies throw them at people.
