    [​IMG] Ok, I thought this would be kinda fun. Each day when I come on the boards for the evening, I'll update everybody with some interesting things that happened in my day!
    Thursday, February 6, 2003
    Well I overslept a little. Like noon. I guess that's what happens when you're posting all night! :lol: After I briefly talked to Extremist in the chat room I went outside to do some yardwork and I started to install my landscape lighting. Ok, here is a tip; don't plug the system in until you have connected everything! :aaa: Electricity hurts! :cry: I made dinner and watched "The West Wing"
    Came on here and then went to bed. So not much else today.
    Tune in tomorrow for some more exciting happenings in Elios's life! I'm cooking a turkey on the grill tomorrow. Maybe I'll take some pictures of it cooking and post them on a web page so everybody can see!

    Okay here is my day.

    I get up at 7.30, jump into the shower, eat some breakfast and drive to work.
    I'll work untill 17:00, and drive back home.
    Eat some dinner and go surf around somewhat on the net.
    Then I'll usually play a game if there is time, or watch some television.

    That's a work day for me (damn that's boring)

    All my weekdays are identical, which is quite scary:

    Wake up at 6:45. Shower, until brother starts pounding on the door. Get out of shower, sloooowly. Get dressed, eat breakfast. Get leftovers from last night's dinner from fridge, put in plastic bag, bring to work. the walk to work takes about 30 minutes. Put leftovers in fridge at work. Go sit down at computer. Surf around until boss arrives, always 15 minutes late.

    Start working: Enter 4 different combinations of digits into a database. Hit enter twice. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Chat with girlfriend meanwhile, until she leaves at 12:30. Surf around while boss is at lunch. Go for lunch as soon as boss gets back. Nuke food until the top layers are dried out, and the bottom layers are still cold. Eat. Read paper. Do dishes. Go back to work.

    Enter 4 different combinations of digits into a database. Hit enter twice. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Look at computer clock every 15 minutes, consider going to university every 30 minutes. Boss leaves at 4:30. Stay and "work overtime": surf for another hour. Receive phonecall from concerned mother. Surf for another 30 minutes. Walk home, stopping at some guitar store on the way. Watch dr phil, or similar boring tv. Eat dinner. Either go to band practice, or watch Sopranos/the West Wing/read a book. Go to bed. Read some more. Fall asleep at 10 pm.

    [(1-x) + (1+x)]/(1-x)^2... that is if you are taking the derivative with respect to x.

    I'll spare you the ying-yang of my days. Basically, class then out with girlfriend. The former too boring, the latter too private.

    Let's see... Since my last post, I have read more fan fiction, chatted some more, went to the corner store, listened to a woman talking about why smoking is bad and had the carbon monoxide amount in my blood tested (a big fat zero) made dinner (mashed potatoes and creamy sausage sauce) ´cleaned up a bit more, helped up one of the girls to set up an e-mail account, and now I am chatting/reading fan fic again :)

    9:30 - Go to bicyclerepairman to have him fix my bike.
    10:00 - Have a meeting with the people where I'm gonna go on internship from next week till summer.
    11:00 - Met Merel at school to organize a FirstAid course at school for 2nd year students.
    12:00 - Found out our current instructor was gonna cost us at least 150 euro per student.

    17:30 - Picked up my bike and called up a friend to fill my now empty evening. Did some shopping (Chips and Drinks) and flirted with the girl behind the register. (Apparently taking Lord of the Rings out of your bag to put the drinks in is a good conversation starter nowadays, instead of making you look like a geek. A good change :) )
    18:00 - Prepared dinner, ate it, and cleaned up my room.
    19:00 - Marcel (earlier mentioned friend) came by, watched a movie and consumed earlier mentioned products.
