Yay, I'm done. From promising student to unemployed bum :D
« on: November 20, 2002, 08:19:14 AM »
Yay!

Last exam is done. Project involving toejameloads of card readers, alarm systems, doors and whatnot.

Got an A :D. Which means I finish third overall, gradewise. Not too bad for someone who barely got through high school heheh.

Now I'm done. Now I can sleep for more than 4 hours - for the first time in over two weeks.

And now I can actually start working for a living :D.

Yay. Money.

:D :D

Congrats!

I remember you were telling you had to do the project with two nincompoops. How did they do at the defense (if there were a such)?

Santa...enjoy it.  

When I finnished and handed in my thesis to get my Poli-Sci degree I got back to my place feeling tired (I had been up all night editing) but really happy that it was all over.

I cracked a beer and was just sitting down to reflect on my whole university experience and relish the fact that I was done when there was a huge commotion at my front door.  The dog was going bananas and there was a woman screaming.

Turns out the woman was delivering flyers and she had tried to open the front door to slip one inside.  That was right when my overly protective dog showed up.  He had jumped up and pushed the door open before the girl managed to shut it and bitten her on the bellybutton as she tried to run away.

Stress levels went sky-high as I realisd she had every intention of taking me to court...and I didn't have a "Beware of Dog" sign displayed...a carsinal sin for dog owners in Toronto if they want to avoid any liability.

I settled out of court for about $2,000 CDN.

I probably could have fought it...but there was a chance that the judge could order the dog destroyed...and I would have paid anything to avoid that.

I graduated two years ago, santa, and a word of warning to you you cross-dressing Swede wannabe:

Real Life Sucks Purple Monkey Balls. :D

I might be lying.

Heh Curval, I went from the exam to the court - lost a case regarding a phone bill I've PAID for, despite having receipts. Judge was an utter arse. Gonna go to court again over it, if I judge that paying a lawyer will be cheaper than paying the bill.

Due to "interest" and "court fees", I am to pay $2500. Ridiculous. Already paid it. WIll prolly fight it just for the principle.

So I know what ya mean :D.

Thanks for the responses guys :D.

And Dowding - being poor while life sucks monkey balls is worse than having cash while it does so :D.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Not so fast, buddy. You got the "working" part ok, but who said anything about money? Now you'll have to give it all back so some other poor student can get through college free of charge :)


I still remember you squeaking about how little money you get from the government as a student. When I called it free lunch, you got very upset and you said that you'll repay the debt when you turn comes.


Well, your turn is here, pay up :)

WTG Santa....now remember the following....

Don't make a decision on what you want to do with your life based on money.

Nothing feels worse , professionally, than to get up  and go spend your life doing something that you dislike.

Godspeed!:)
