today started out as a typical lazy sunday. i got up at 8:00 am to go grocery shopping; yogurt, bagels and frozen lunches for work. i got a few extras; a loaf of olive miche (mmmm, tasty) and 1kg of sugar.
after getting home i checked my bank account to see if the funds i transferred over was posted and fed my cat. i gave her her favourite tuna food and i thought i was being nice and gave her a bit extra. of course she always eats it all so she puked it up. at least this time she didn't puke it into her water dish. then i watched tv for a few hours. they were shows on buying and selling houses on the home and garden channel. i love those shows, i love looking at all those floor plans.
then i decided to finally exercise with the turbo jam dvd i bought a month ago. i got it on november 3 and just after i opened the package my mother called me with bad news about my sister's cat. so i went to the vet and my sister and i were crying and hugging and so my sister gave me her cold and then i got a really bad cough for two weeks. exercising probably wasn't a good idea at that time. then i was depressed for a couple of weeks and all i wanted to do was sleep. anyways, i finally tried it out today and it was fun. i normally don't go for that kind of stuff but it looked fun and i'm glad it turned out to be fun too. i would prefer it if the gym i am a member of had an exercise class to go to, but they are all between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm on weekdays and i can't make it in during those times since i am at work.
so about 30 minutes ago i finished showering and had some yogurt and turned on my computer. i decided to post something since before last night's chat it never occurred to me to initiate a topic about mundane activities, or even initiate any topic where i'm not explicitly looking for some information.
anyways, i don't know what else to write about.

Yay! A Rocketturtle post!

Sorry about your sister's cat. Was it old?

she wasn't all that old; she was 7 years old.

What happened to it?
Do you like your job? How did you get into programming business software?

at first she stopped eating so my sister thought she was just constipated. when my sister got some laxitive at the end of the week she noticed that the cat was sort of panting so she took her to the emergency vet. she figured at the time that she would be at the vet overnight for observation. when the vet took some xrays they found congestive heart failure and the heart was three times the size it should have been and there was fluid all around her lungs and heart. there isn't really anything that can be done for that. so she had to be put down that night because she was in a lot of pain.
i love my job. i finished my undergrad in an unrelated field of study and was going to do my masters. i had to take some prerequisites before the masters program started and during that time away from school i had some time to think about my life situation. i wanted to move out from my mother's care and become more financially independent. so i picked computers and took an intensive two-year diploma program to learn some practical skills in the field. in the second year i had to choose a specialized stream and at the time i still didn't know what i liked. i first chose a data communications stream which concentrated more on low level security with digital communication. then i changed my mind and transferred to the client/server option but i didn't really understand what i could do with that at the time. then i transferred to information systems and learned about distributed computing. after that, i was hooked. the program was so instense that, after i graduated i slept for three weeks and felt physically ill because of all the stress hormones that were out of balance. after about a week of looking at job postings i found one and i immediately said to myself "that job is mine", i applied for the job and was hired the next week. since then i have gone through two buisiness acquisitions. in fact, tomorrow is my "first day" all over again.

I am also sorry to hear about your sisters cat, having him/her put to sleep was probably the best thing all round given the situation, but its still sad and can really suck having to make that decision. Hey maybe she will get another cat at some point, give another animal a home that needs one and something good will come out of it.
Its great you like your job.
Glad to see you finally made a thread and a post, Rocketturtle. 8)

Yay! A Rocketturtle post!
Rocketturtle has more karma than posts.. :o
She(i'm guessing) should post more and lurk less. :angel:
-
It's tough to be a lurkless poster.
He/she/it will get major karma from me for ditching the fucking "salt and pepper fight" avatar.

How's your day been, rocketturtle?
-
I too am thrilled to see that rocketturtle has posted!
-
Just keep posting rocketturtle. ;)

Another four posts and you'll be able to see the whole board again Rocketturtle. :eyebrows:
We had to make half the boards 10-posts-and-above to piss Ascan off. :evillaugh:

Poor rocketturtle! How willl she be able to lurk now? :'(
-
I know, I feel bad about that, considering she's our favourite lurker. She shouldn't have to pay the price for Ascan's cuntishness... look at it as a carrot. Come and join the family Rocketturtle! ;)
-
A carrot, you say? Must be a homicidal screaming carrot, no doubt. Run while you still can! (not that it will help you; nothing can escape them. so, rocketturtle, you might just as well stay around and post; what finer way of spending your last moments could there possibly be?)

nonononono. It was because of the plotting and the scheming, and Ascan's immediate destruction. REMEMBER? 8)

Oh yes. Silly me. :P

Rocketturtle,
Please, don't take my comment about your avie personally. We have all had avatars that make other people cringe. Dunc's old avatar scared the shit out of me at first. It was two eyes staring at you. Then I stopped to think "Hey, wait a minute - I DO that to people MYSELF sometimes" in real life. I can take it.
Anytime I want to cringe, now, I look at McJagger's avie. It looks like a ferret is biting him on the willy. No!

hmm, there are not a lot of things that i take personally, so do not worry about that.
however, the promise of karma will not make me change my avatar. a karma point is not something i take personally either. it's not my currency.
besides, i'm very good at making people cringe. =)

How's your day been, rocketturtle?
my day on december 7 was a low energy day.
today is also low energy, but not as low energy as december 7.
i have been doing some research this week so my thoughts have been elsewhere.

yes.
on average i am low energy with short bursts of high energy.
the high energy time doesn't last long and entering and exiting high energy states is rather sudden for me.

yeah, now you can lurk on every forum.
though, i hope to see you posting more.
how do you like my avatar?
-

i don't like your avatar very much. his legs look detachable, kind of like a ken doll.
also, what's the point of just wearing a sock on your penis if the rest of your body is naked?
-
it does look like a kendoll, lol.
i guess that he had to wear the sock because of the censors.
-
I am always on a low energy day.

hello :)

Are you going to post in the 'Post a random truth about yourself' thread? I'd like to hear more about you.
-
i was thinking about doing that but i haven't decided what to post yet.

Sexual habits always go down well here. Or something you do that's disgusting (could tie that in with the sexual habits). Or you could be boring and tell us about an interest you have.
