40 ? you mean 40 years old ? Err... I thought my birthday date was public, I'm 23 ! 40, that's like, a life time away... Actually from what I'm seeing on the multiple job search engine I'm visiting daily the bulk of jobs available in the greater Montreal area is primarily in the service sector, y'know human resources, sales, customer service, that kind of thing. I'd have to expatriate myself in more rural areas to get a "physical labour" job; which I really don't want in the first place. I'm a city dweller, an urban man, and all those not-so-witty epithets.

Does that mean you're 6 years past the expiration date?

Ofelix · Wed, 4th Jul '12, 10:06pm

Flixes are like wines, they only get better with age

Merlanni · Wed, 4th Jul '12, 11:05pm

No, idiots, I will become 40 at the twentieth.

Master of Nuhn · Thu, 5th Jul '12, 3:17am

Call me an idiot, but I guess Flix is a cat or something. 40 is a lifetime away. He's now 23, so 17 years is a lifetime to him and because he's 23, he's 6 years past the "expiration date", yet he's still alive. He could have multiple lives like a cat, you know: Ofelix - Felix (the cat) - Feline.

Argh... I should stop my rambling and try to sleep. It's pretty warm and humid here now though...

Also, what I don't get: Last time I (and our most beloved Albertan Femme) checked, it appeared there was a 6 hrs time difference between Holland and Alberta, Canada. But now it appears to be 8 hrs.

reepnorp · Thu, 5th Jul '12, 5:44am

MoN, the time difference between Holland and Ontario, Canada would be six hours. Alberta is pretty far west of here (here being Ontario, that is) so they are a further two hours behind.

Too many time zones in this country. Heck, Vancouver is four and a half hours behind St. John's, Newfoundland!

My job has me emailing people all over the globe, from Canada and the US to Holland and the rest of Europe and also a few Asian countries so time zones are something I have to be way more aware of than I ever would have liked :P

Gaear · Thu, 5th Jul '12, 6:43am

Do you forward joke e-mails and silly video links and the occasional NSFW porno link all over the globe while at work, reep?

I always wondered who those people are who specialize in that. We all have at least one - the smut king, or the lame joke guy, or the useless trivia gal, or the vigilant uninteresting link dude who keeps us updated on ... uninteresting stuff.

Dice · Thu, 5th Jul '12, 8:51am

Lol I guess you are right about that Gaear. I know when I used to work a particular company all of those people were present. The smut guy was one of the reps who sold tape and glue - at one point he stopped telling his dirty jokes because I think someone complained, the lame joke guy was one of my bosses, the useless trivia gal was actually the other boss although it was a "he" and not a gal, and the vigilant uninteresting link guy was an older fellow who was still living through his Vietnam days.

reepnorp · Thu, 5th Jul '12, 1:02pm

Oh man, I wish! If I could get paid for sending dirty emails I'm sure I would have managed to get a huge bonus by now.

Master of Nuhn · Thu, 5th Jul '12, 2:23pm

It's spelled boner and I feel sorry for you that you haven't had one yet.

j/k

Gnarfflinger · Thu, 5th Jul '12, 2:34pm

I don't forward much via Email. Now on Facebook I do share a lot of photos...

Uh uh... so... I'm allergic to myself (being allergic to cats) ? -- Y'know I was speaking metaphorically a life time away being a long time away ?

I'm sure I've said this before over the years but Canada is pretty damn huge, 9,984,670 km2 to be exact Ad Mari usque Ad Mare indeed ! Also it's 8.92% water having approximately 3% of the world's clear water reserve. what? I actually remember stuff from High School geography... Only Russia is bigger in term of total land area. Russssssiiiiia * sorry 'bout that.

*since we already have a Picard face palm smilie, I say we also need one of Kirk, arms in the arm going "khaaaaaaaaaaaan" -- y'know from Wrath of Khan ? anyone ? C'mon I'm not the only one who've seen Wrath of goddamn Khan !

Dice · Fri, 6th Jul '12, 12:25am

I would like to see a Kirk smilie. And who can't love William Shatner? He is so cheesy but wears it perfectly.

Yep, thats the one

Merlanni · Sat, 7th Jul '12, 9:29am

Sorry for the I word.

Those purple UV lamps against flies, do they work?

Dice · Sat, 7th Jul '12, 10:25am

I remember when I was growing up my neighbour used to have one of those outside and it was always full of bugs so I think they do.

reepnorp · Sat, 7th Jul '12, 2:58pm

Figures the one day in the past three weeks that it rains is the day of my cousin's wedding! Really hope she was planning an indoor ceremony or I feel like she'll be in a pretty bad mood later.

On that note, time to go get myself cleaned up and presentable for the occasion! This will be the first time I've seen many of my relatives in a few years, don't want them to get a bad impression of me

Dice · Sat, 7th Jul '12, 5:07pm

Enjoy seeing your relatives Reepnorp

Take lots of photos if you don't see them often.

@Merlanni -

That is a pretty significant number. Any particular feelings towards it?

Ofelix · Sat, 7th Jul '12, 8:36pm

Just hooked up an antenna to my TV, free HD woo! Can't afford cable so gotta make due. Ok so I get only 6 channels, SRC, TVA, TQC, CTV, Global, CBC, and some native american show subtitled in Portuguese.... that one is weird ! I'd understood if it were subtitled in either French or English but, Portuguese ?

reepnorp; enjoy the wedding, when my sister got married about a year ago I meet relatives I didn't know I had. Y'know like Hey I'm the son of your mother's second cousin once removed, nice to meet you!. Chances are I'm never gonna meet the guy again, meh.

I realized that.

I was just responding with a weird sense of humor at the time.

ION: I should have talked to that girl smiling at me... A nice example of a coulda-shoulda-woulda regret.

Merlanni · Sun, 8th Jul '12, 10:08am

40 oh well. it only means live every day acting that it can be the last one.

Dice · Sun, 8th Jul '12, 8:23pm

Merlanni, I just turned 42 and I consider myself reborn, so its all in perspective bud. You can always take the rest of your life, and it should be pretty long still, and make something with it.

T2Bruno · Mon, 9th Jul '12, 4:11am

Oh, please. What is this depressing fascination with a number? You're depressed about being 40? I mean, come on, consider the alternative....

Dice · Mon, 9th Jul '12, 4:26am

But then again there is nothing wrong with being depressed now and again so I guess if Merlanni wants to be depressed about turning forty there is no reason why he shouldn't.

Have you considered getting drunk Mer? It really doesn't make the depression go away or anything but it helps for a while

. I'm just kidding. Eat some cake and get over it when you realize that you are in your early forties and not late.
