Life, life

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I got a job at my university where I just sit in an open computer lab to keep it staffed. \:D/ I also helped clean up the lab for ABET. Thems the people who accredit the school. I was also invited to a luncheon with them. I'm pretty sure several other students were invited too so I'm not sure how big a deal that is..

Hey Penguin, that sounds like a pretty nice job! :D Good for you. Even if there were other students invited to the luncheon, it's still great that you were included!

Congrats to Tea Ess for still being with us!

I've been busy this week and have been/will be gone with some kind of busyness 4 out of 5 evenings this week, plus work each day. Some of them were friend-related non-stressful things, but it's still time that I'm not doing all the other stuff that I need to do! I am looking forward to a relaxing Saturday! :thud:

I went on a run this morning and have spent the last few hours at Barnes & Noble, where I am now. :book2:

Bookstores are the best! :yes:

I spent most of my day at church between attending a service, helping with the kids, and then a prayer service later. It makes the day disappear quickly, but in a good way!

I went back home this weekend for my sister's birthday, and now I'm studying for a test I have tomorrow.

Wow, that's an awesome piece Mariogeek! :shock:

I'm not trick or treating, Instead I have plans to hide away in my bedroom reading Halloween poetry, and maybe baking. :D

Scar looks better than ever, Mariogeek! :D Very cool. It looks like that took a lot of work.

I got together with a former coworker after work (not the job we used to work at together) ;) and had supper at a new restaurant in town and caught up. It was quite nice!

My manager bought me and Kaida a pizza last night because Kaida had to be called into work at the last minute and I recently was called into work two times in the past month! We ate it all just between the two of us. Heh heh. But it was only a medium pizza. ;)

Very nice, Woody! Congrats on getting your license. :D Luckily, I'm a whole country away. ;)

My whole week has been busy with work stuff, and then I'm cramming some personal stuff in too, so I'm already ready for the weekend. ;)
