Re: WPC 30K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

There's just way too many posts done over the weekend. Sigh.

To read all that is mind numbing and interesting at the same time. :P

I'd like to welcome our newest person, Nadia. Welcome to the insanity that is this thread. :)
 
Re: WPC 30K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Nadia, I'm glad you've joined us here. This thread is the most fun on WPCentral. :smile:

Well, do bring you up to speed in my world: I visited my mother and used her great shower (she has a rain shower, it's a blessing, my shower here is terrible ;-) ), I played Donkey Kong on my Nintendo 3DS (I love this game, and actually I didn't write about this), my sister in law gave me a late birthday present, a great chocolate cake, and the woman I was dating and I broke the thing off.

Now I'm back in the lab, and I feel just tired. Luckily I still have a lot of friends, so every evening this entire week I'll meet somebody else, which will keep my mind occupied with nice things.

I can't believe there's another thread in the L920 area about the damn camera again! It's the same conversation as before. Whine, whinge, comparisons with post processing. It's already up to 8 pages! Crazy.

Sorry to hear about your relationship, that's never a pleasant situation. :(

I haven't played Donkey Kong in ages. Is it the classic one or the newer versions?

A good shower is an important thing. Some of the showers we had here in the UK have been disappointing. There's an issue with old pipes and pressure where you need to buy what's called a 'power shower' to get any pressure at all. Thankfully the one we have now is good though!

Friends is a good thing. We're still in the process of aquiring some. It's not easy when you move as much as we have. :/

Thanks. I plan to keep it up as a topic in this thread for at least a year... just kidding :)

It's the adventure version of it. But it's very classic in the sense that it feels exactly like on the Gameboy Advance, without using all the silly features of the 3DS.

Water pressure is usually great in Switzerland. But I have a water saving shower head in my flat. Terrible thing, I'm in for saving the world, but I'm not sure if saving water in Switzerland contributes to a healthy nature. We have plenty of water.

That's something I'm a little afraid of when it comes to moving. I plan on doing some research abroad, but I guess I will have a hard time to find friends in a new country.

Honestly, I think it's easier as a single male to make friends than it is for a couple at our age with no kids. Also, being in the field you are I think meeting people is a lot easier. I find the field I am in doesn't have a great social aspect to it, or maybe I don't go out of my way to get into it. I don't know. I just find a lot of people here (and in Australia as well) tend to socialise with people they already know from when they were younger. I find it more here than Australia but it was similar there.

I don't know. I think it's hard to meet people outside the lab. And the people at the lab often have already established friendships. At least that's how I feel it feels for the people from abroad in our lab. I think if I'd go to an English speaking country, I would at least not have the language barrier, that would certainly help.

I can understand that it is hard for you to meet new people. Maybe you should take up a hobby, aren't all the Brits into bird watching? ...yes, I know, I'm not helping ;-)

I'm sure you'll be fine. You're a pretty active person so I think you'd find a few friends fairly easy. Lots of people are into running. That's always a good start. :)

I like birds and all but I don't like them that much. :P

Part of the issue I always have is that I'm not into sports. I'm not a gammer either, which is a big thing here. My wife and I have decided we're going to try to do more cultural things this year. It's a bit more difficult being out of London but we're going to give it a shot. :) We're not big drinkers either so that sometimes can be a bit of a barrier. Drinking and socializing is a big thing in most countries.

I feel like I'm the youngest in this thread apart from one other!
