Weather forecast today - cloudy, high winds and possible snow. Yes, snow.
My worst nightmare in the UK. Snow for the drive home...
Stuck in the UK, huh? I do not envy you. Except when it's (vaguely) summer there and winter here.
You got Europe (I'm jealous), but we got Australia and the Asia Pacific right on our doorstep. It balances out.
There's nothing 'minor' about being anti-vax. It's a major concern. Anyone, regardless how nice or whatever they seem, should be considered an enemy of humanity for thinking anti-vax is a good thing.
Anti-vaxers work on the emotions of parents, specifically mothers, to prevent them from vaccinating their children. They're horrible people. Spreading lies and misinformation. They're the equivalent of holocaust deniers. They deserve no respect at all.
Oh, you take this topic much more seriously than I do. There's no question that I strongly disagree with them, but I don't see them equal to Nazis. Sure, they're a threat to health but holocaust, no.
Started learning something new related to my job at work and it feels like it gave me some new motivation. I like what I do, but it felt like I hit a wall before the break of doing the same thing and not learning anything new. Not sure if this normally happens at 7 months in for a new position.
One of my friends was telling me (and our other friends) that she wants to try to date this year since she hasn't tried much before at all. I can relate but not sure if I feel like going down that road even though I kind of feel like I should. Me and her are the same age.
I find things get boring rather rapidly for me with regards to work. I find work in general rather mundane. I find the work I do these days, even though it's taken me to various countries and places, it's still rather dull.
Work at the end of the day is work. You're doing something for someone else. I'm a person who find things satisfying when I do them for my own reasons.
I do like learning I should point out.
I'll be married for 10 years this year...
Congrats! The idea of seriously dating makes me nervous. How did you and your wife meet one another if I can ask?
Ah, so you can relate. I think it's really cool that your work has taken you to so many places! It sounds like you might be used to it though.
Fair point. It works for some of us though. That makes sense, I can picture that for you.
That's good, learning is good. I prefer the kind without the exams and papers but yet I'm considering it again. :straight:
We met online, me in Canada, her in Australia, way before meeting online was a thing.
I have days when I want to go do a learning course of some sort but I'd prefer it for enjoyment and just for the desire of learning rather than grades.
I've spent a lot of time reading and learning that way. Things I didn't know about in science etc. But now there's other things I'd like to learn but finding the time and place to learn it is rather difficult. I don't see many evening/weekend courses here in the UK.
Aww that sounds like a really sweet story! Very cool.
Hmm interesting.
Wow that sucks that there aren't many evening/weekend courses there. That sounds challenging.
In my case, it's to get a Masters. Thankfully, where I'm working pays for almost 3 courses, but I'll do 2 a semester. I just have to do my part to get into the program, which requires an exam. Welp.
