I have a double major in electrical engineering and communication engineering , a minor in economics , a masters in signal processing and analysis and a masters in digital electronics design. Kurz gesagt I and my team work at a lab where we do science ! Oh yeah, electrical engineering makes sense. I’m sure that’s great field to work in. 11 hours ago, First of My Name said: Welcome Vin, is that Vin from Mistborn in your avatar? And hi to the rest. I've been online less than usual, but my summer break has basically begun already, so I'll remedy that. Hi first! how’s life? If I went back to a year ago (which was what, maybe three or four threads ago?) I’m sure I could read the specific bitching I threw over last year’s Red Bull air race. Well we are back at it again and it’s so damn loud as a blockbuster battle scene.. except it goes on for three days instead of 10 minutes. Hail to another relaxing weekend... oh wait, I have about 12 hours of work left till Monday. I supposed red bull air race is not to blame for that after all... *takes a deep breath, closes her eyes and pictures the sum she will bill at the end of the month* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re actually looking at venues over the next couple of months and we want a date for next summer , there is going to be SO much to plan!. 12 hours ago, Vin said: This is so ...wholesome Congratulations ! Hope it's everything you want to be Yeah , from my personal experience in dating , a lot of women I knew didn't even seriously consider marriage as a big part of their future which I didn't like . It’s not something I think people have to do anymore but to me it’s a huge expression of commitment between two people and shouldn’t be entered into lightly.

So your turn , how do you serve the devil ? Air shows can be fun .

Get a good caterer, people deserve good food if they're gonna suffer shitty relatives Well if we're talking conceptually , marriage should be encouraged since statistics show that children of married people far outperform their counterparts across the board and are henceforth better for society .

RhaenysBee Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 But Just So you people don’t think all I ever do is complain (because you know it, don’t you? ), let me tell you how much I’m loving the 17C we have today. It’s a delight to curl up with a hot tea and wear a sweater and air the house and actually use a blanket in bed and just breathe fresh air. I’m already fantasizing about fall and winter activities.

I think most people just come for the free bar(yes there will be a free bar) I agree with you, people should want to do it not just feel obliged to. 7 hours ago, RhaenysBee said: Sooooooooo exciting. Will you trust the baby with the ring? Or will she just be a little bridesmaid? And what do you have in mind in terms of theme and venue? She will still be too little for the rings I think. Theme wise we’re looking at being fairly traditional, although there are going to be A LOT of bridesmaids . Venue wise there is a stately home and an ex stately home turned lovely countryside hotel with lovely views in the running at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like this field, even though it can be slightly bullshitty (what social science field isn’t?) at times. I’m not huge on HR systems or trainings , but I do enjoy most of my development projects. They are all interesting and some are super creative too. What I’m not happy with is my firm, but I’ll be doing something about that sooner or later.

It’s a petty little hobby firm of some people who moved on to build a more financially rewarding business, so It’s basically their geeky step-child now, which is kept around because it cleans the house and polishes the sports car of its younger and way cooler brother, but otherwise there’s no love or perspective for it. Sorry for the dumb metaphor. Bottomline is, shitty pay, morally questionable practices, hypocritical values, manipulative management. Yeah, thanks. 1 hour ago, Lord Sidious said: We’re getting pretty excited about it too now, we’ve been engaged for a while, but being pregnant and having mini Sith kind of got in the way!. I’m sure it’s a whole new kind of special to have your baby at the wedding too. Do you already have plans for a dress? Soooooo, sister’s birthday party is done. According to the intel I have it was quite successful. But I’m sure I’ll hear her side of the story too, as soon as she scrambles out of bed. I half wish I had travelled there yesterday and attempted to crash it. I wasn’t on the list so who knows if they would have let me in to take advantage of the free bar. Free for the guests at least. According to my informant, the free bar cost close to $1000, and bear in mind that’s more than the monthly average net income of an individaul in our lovely country. Kinda as though mini sith had drank away £2000 worth of milk on her 6 months bday. Well, sister claims it was rather pricey but still worth it, as she had to make up for three years of just going to other people’s parties and not throwing her own. She is however certain that she won’t be throwing another party as she would rather just enjoy herself and not take on the responsibility of hosting. Not that she did a lot of hosting, that was mostly managed by the person running the venue. I’m both scared and excited to hear her version of the night.
