Cool you took up fencing! I loved the sport! Don't worry, this is all just part of the process of going from a hardly-moving state to a more sporty state of beeing. Don't worry about the diet either, it all needs time. You're just starting out a bit clumsy. Most people do after not doing much sport for a prolonged period.
Before people assume i am suicidal i drove my wife to work so obviously i wont do anything drastic since i have to pick her up at 5:20 but still vastly upset
An untucked shirt? Can they fire someone on the first day over an untucked shirt? What crappy employer does that??
Anyway, I truly hope you find something new fast, @Risico007!
I agree. You dodged a bullet @Risico007
I've been told off in the past for dress code at work. It's never pleasant, but even my most unpleasant employer would not have fired me for something like that.
Absolutely. What utter nonsense. My shirts have come untucked plenty of times, usually because I was working hard. But indeed, it shows a lot about them, not about you.
This sadly happens to me every year. October is my favorite month and Halloween my favorite day, so I get very sad knowing how I have to wait a long time to get back to it. November’s still one of the better months, but I just love October so much.
Yes I learned to enjoy November. It's still autumn, for one. But the first few days after Halloween are rough. Oh well, there's Noirvember at least.
Anyway, for three years now we've had our neighbours nicely asking if they could come over with a group of children (two of their own, with their daughter having her birthday on the 24th and celebrating on the 31st each year - she turned 9 this time). Of course we didn't (and don't) mind and provided Haribo and Mars candy, something we would never buy for ourselves and, if we had children, probably would discourage them from eating that stuff. But healthy food be damned for the occasion, and let the parents worry about their children's dental health. The kids love it, the entire affair took us about twenty minutes including a bit of preparation, and we can now relax for the next 366 days.
Fun fact: "Halloween" is in nine of sixteen states in Germany...a public holiday. But not because it is Halloween, but because Martin Luther in 1517 decided to (allegedly) nail his 95 theses to the door of the palace church at Wittenberg one day before All Saints' Day (i. e. "All Hallows Eve"). So it is officially "Reformation Day" now, but I suppose it contributes to a lot more activity on Halloween in those states than elsewhere.
Yes, there is Noirvember!!! =D>
* In case anyone doesn't know "Noirvember" happens every November, as fans of Film Noir celebrate the movies and personalities of Dark City.
No sun - no moon!
No morn - no noon -
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day -
No sky - no earthly view -
No distance looking blue -
No road - no street - no 't'other side the way' -
No end to any Row -
No indications where the Crescents go -
No top to any steeple -
No recognitions of familiar people -
No courtesies for showing 'em -
No knowing 'em -
No travelling at all - no locomotion,
No inkling of the way - no notion -
'No go' - by land or ocean -
No mail - no post -
No news from any foreign coast -
No Park - no Ring - no afternoon gentility -
No company - no nobility -
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, -
November!
So it's not all bad news!
Thank you for this - I didn't know it. But it quite fits my feelings about November, and people in 1840 must have thought the same.
I also extend it to crime fiction in general, so I read a lot of crime novels come November.
That's brutal. I work in an industry with strict dress code but to fire someone four hours in on a first offence of your shirt being untucked is ludicrous. Sorry that happened to you man.
Hween , xmas , easter.....its all about $$$ , they dont keep grocery stores open on 12/24 out of kindness.
Virtually every kids film today has merch they try to hawk , it started in 50s , for ex Zorro show had lots of merch then Batman in 60s.....long before SW came along. Disney was merch pioneer. Coca Cola santa/CC polar bear , also commercial invention but people like it nonetheless.
Makes me think of Star Wars and Pokemon (Gotta Catch 'em All, not even trying to hide it lol).
Not really a whine, but I had eye surgery yesterday (genetic polar cataracts, they removed my left lens and put an artificial one in); procedure went great and now out of my left eye I can see more clearly than ever before, but 1) my near vision is no good anymore so need reading glasses, and 2) I still have a dogsh** right eye that I can't wait for them to knife up and fix. Neither of these issues are a huge deal but it'll be a pain to deal with until I get my second surgery and am then able to get proper reading glasses rather than these drug store things I'm using now.
That sounds pretty intense, @NickTwentyTwo. I hope everything works out great. Eye surgery is a delicate thing. But it's for the best, I'm sure.
@NickTwentyTwo, I had both of my lenses exchanged in summer last year within one week of each other, and it ended my myopia for the first time in sixty years or so. The cataract was only in my right eye (I had surgery on a detached retina 12 years ago, which the doctors said contributed to the cataract somehow), but it made no sense to keep the left eye being very much near-sighted while the right one is miles better. I do have to wear reading glasses now instead (actually, I have multifocal glasses that I keep on during most of the day) but I can drive my car without them.
Problem is we only have two tins and it needs three. She already bought the ingredients, so there's no going back. What did I get myself into?
May I suggest your local supermarket where you will find a selection of ready made cakes. ;)
I actually looked at the recipe and thought: Three tins of what? Except for "Guittard Green Mint Baking Chips" that I have never heard of before (and which probably aren't available anywhere in Germany), I have all the ingredients in my kitchen cabinet, or in my fridge. OK, the eggs aren't "British Blacktail" but they are free range (or maybe organic even), and they are not medium but XL, so I'll just use four instead of five. But again, which ingredient comes in tins? (As with most cake recipes, I'd probably cut the sugar by at least one-third, but that's another issue.)
That's fair enough. I was of course being facetious. The last cakes I baked were back in Home Economics at secondary school in the late 1990s. I remember I baked a Christmas cake in 1998, one of only three boys in my class to try it. Sadly in the quarter of a century since I've never baked a cake again. Baking is not really my forte but you sound really good at it. I'm sure you'll do fine with this new cake even though it may be a challenge.
I've been doing it for years, I'm just not very good. In the end we did it together, with only two layers. She did most of the work I must say, but I did the washing up.
