    I haven't seen any space stations on TV that have stairs. They have elevator lifts and teleportation rooms.

    Hmm... you have a point. Maybe safety reasons? What if you're on the stairs and the ship gets hit by a photon torpedo? :ahhh:


    Easy. Just run from side-to-side while they tilt the camera.

    :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Why would that be less scary in an elevator? "In case of photon torpedo attack - do not use lift!" :lol:

    You can't trip and fall down in a lift, and maybe break your neck when you hit bottom! :P

    You also can't abandon ship in a disabled lift caught between decks!

    Morning. Tropical humid with a breath of cool wind making for a kinda North meets South start to the day so far. A little rain overnight to perk up the roses in our garden and a dirty grey overcast promising more :)

    There's a good reason for that. Well, several. You don't have to worry about losing it, or someone stealing it. You don't have to go the the bank and stand in a line. You don't even have to go anywhere, it's just in your account. In some cases that means saving money on a taxi or bus, or just gas in your car. If you don't have direct deposit and you are sick and can't get to work on the day the checks are distributed, you have to wait...but the bills don't wait. And most companies will send it in the mail if you aren't there. Then you have to worry that it won't get lost in the mail, or stolen between there and your home.

    You have to download it. It's not being presented as a picture on a web page, it's presented as a file to download. If it was on DA, it would view as animated.

    Yes it is :) A few hundred miles north things are getting trashed by super cell storms but here there is hardly any wind and occasionally the cloud breaks to let blue sky shine through :)

    SPLASH! Another successful splashdown! :cheese: :cheese:

    Pretty cool to watch the Orion capsule come down. :)

    One hour until the bank run.. heavy overcast, foggy, and uhm misty out. :blank:

    Dunno about lunch.. might take a long lunch and hit Burger King..


    ...wow, I didn't even realise there was a test flight. To think I'm a kid from the old "Space Race" days who has seen every manned launch from Friendship 7 to the Skylab missions (including the unmanned Agena and Skylab spacecraft launches). Nothing was more impressive and majestic than seeing that big Saturn V (about as tall as a 32 story skyscraper) lifting off of pad 39A.

    Back then, a launch was a major event that was covered on all three television networks. Liked CBS the best as they had Walter Cronkite calling the shots.

    Yes a big success for them :)

    oh mann got an email for a temp offer

    Good morning,

    Please forgive me if this email reaches you in error.. Are you available for a MS Access VBA project with our client in Midtown NYC? They will start ASAP, most likely from a working interview. Please let me know!

    Sincerely,


    oh i dunno. i been here 12 years but, midtown manhattan money is like lotto money. prolly make in 2 months what i make here in 8.

    don't know what to do :shut:


    ...first, check the link (if one was provided) in Google to see if it is legit. If thee is no link check the sender's address and/or company name. Job recruitment emails are one vector for identity theft, especially with unemployment still high in many ares. I received many of these only to find no such place existed when I Googled it.

    I also tend to get a lot of emails for out of state positions from LinkedIn. Unless it's in a place where I want to live, that has good transit, no "real winter" (at least not months of it), affordable rents, and they will help with all relocation expenses, I reply that I am not interested.

    iz from Robert Half Tech. I've worked through them once before.

    decided against the offer.
    it starts immediately and i'm not about to end 12 years without giving 2 weeks notice. guess i'm just not a bridge burner

    Iz great to be in demand tho, I always write back and say thanks and well next time maybe :)

    - Still cold and damp outside
    - Neck and shoulders hating on me
    - Have to make bank run in the rain :down:

    Non-complaints:

    - Had some money left, bought a few small things AND a new virtual instrument (on sale) :coolsmile:
    - Lasagna for breakfast, home-made by the bosses wife, sooooooo tasty
    - Going to go out for Mexican tonight :)

    Hopefully I can finish a music track this weekend and get some renders in. :)
