irken thinks beer is awful.

Just puttin' that out there. xD

Shazza 09-29-2009 10:36 AM

I am not a big bear fan, my partner is but I prefer alcopops or white wine, thats the only alcohol I will drink.

Kethien 09-29-2009 02:01 PM

I don't drink at all...
I'm usually the designated driver or the one who makes sure no one is incredibly stupid while they are drunk. xD
Everyone thinks there's some huge life-scarring reason as to why I don't drink.
Why doesn't "I just don't want to" satisfy anyone anymore?

Izumi 09-29-2009 02:57 PM

*shrugs* I don't normally either, Kethien. I'm usually the one who has to drive home if Aaron has too much. He wanted me to drive home last night and it's a ways away from where we live and I wasn't feeling too confident. (That and he lives out in BFE - there's a lot of woods where deer could jump out...) Luckily, neither one of us had more than just a red plastic cup full which is not enough to worry about. I still wouldn't drive myself though...

Le Pomme 09-29-2009 03:27 PM

I love beer.

I'm Pomme, I'm 20 going on 43.
I raised my two sisters 15 + 17 with my mum (who acts like she's 18)
and I feel I'm pretty old-fart minded.
I live with my boyfriend Luc (who I might marry soon..But there's a good chance it won't be this year) and my gay roommate Matt.

I'm Canadian, raised in New Brunswick, my favorite colors are green, blue and black.

Shazza 09-29-2009 03:37 PM

Hiya Le Pomme, cool username :P
Ah, I am getting married too! I know that state of mind too

IRK3N 09-29-2009 03:59 PM

Hi Pomme!

I like the color scheme you've got going on there. :3

Shazza 09-29-2009 06:48 PM

Green and red, it is nice isn't it :P

Kethien 09-29-2009 08:08 PM

Izumi:
Yeah..one drink isn't really enough to worry about.
My mom has even told me it's okay if I want to drink and my family still offers. I've tried stuff...I just don't care enough to have any more than a sip. x'D
My dad was really on my case this summer because I went to Germany and wouldn't have a beer. xDDDD

Oh yay! Another Canadian. And pretty close to me, too. xD

Izumi 09-29-2009 08:09 PM

Welcome to Old Farts, Le Pomme! Make yourself comfortable and enjoy the warm friendly (yet sometimes we get a bit bitchy...but that's part of being old! :XP) atmosphere. :)

I just finished a 2 and a half hour webinar, hopped in the shower, and I got a few things to take care of so I'll have to catch up with you guys in a little bit. :)

Le Pomme 09-29-2009 08:10 PM

Yup, thanks for the avi compliments.
I was a gaian for 5 + years, so I got pretty good with color co-ordination. :D
@Shazza: Yeah, I've been with my boyfriend for almost 7 years, I think it's time we got hitched. Hehe.

BTW: I'm totally subscribing to this thread. </official approval stamp.>

Hollywood 09-30-2009 05:44 PM

Pomme! Welcome!
I live in Canada too.... waaaaay on the other side in sunny British Columbia!!

guys guys guys!!!
I dont work until 1:30 today, so I am taking this opportunity to have a nice big breakfast.... and you know what that means..... baaaaacons! haha. oh man. too delicious.

This week we're doing training with some new management before my transfer gets put into effect- and I loathe one if the people I am training with. She is an ignorant bigot, and she thinks she's the cock of the walk even though her first day was like 2days ago. She tries to tell me how to do MY job when I'm the one training her??
This is going to be a loooong day.

Izumi 09-30-2009 06:23 PM

:ninja: *sneaks up and steals a piece of bacon*

mmmm num num.

Hope you are able to survive your bitchy college. One reason I love working from home - sure it's lonely, but I don't have the whole 'office politics' thing going on. Last call center I worked at people were bitchy....

Hollywood 09-30-2009 06:34 PM

Well the beauty of it is that I only have to deal with her for 3 more days, and then I transfer and it's not my problem anymore.
But seriously, she is so offensive. I am not a racist person, and when someone says something racist in complete seriousness (We all make off-color jokes, and while not politically correct, they can be funny) I just can't believe it! ESPECIALLY in a place of work.
This woman..... is horrible.
But I only have to get through the next couple days.

Shazza 09-30-2009 07:38 PM

Hiya everyone. How are we all today?

Izumi 09-30-2009 10:54 PM

I'm doing alright today. We didn't do a whole lot. Aaron took a look at our drier trying to fix it. We're hoping it'll work alright now. Also took a drive up to a neighboring town so we could check the closing down sale. Picked up a couple of things from there, including some new windshield wipers as the truck's wipers are shot. Other than that I've just been farting around the house.

Le Pomme 10-01-2009 03:02 PM

I'm still job-hunting, doing pretty good otherwise, the last place I worked was a call center...Good money, but sooo boring..Couldn't stay there long. D=

And yeah, my dad and sisters live in BC, they brag about it all the time. =P
I like being in the sticks though, it's peaceful. :D

Izumi 10-01-2009 05:35 PM

Pomme, I understand the bored factor. The past couple of jobs have been doing customer service based stuff over the phone. I would quit my job too if I didn't get the option to work from home. I think I'd struggle if I had to be in an office, and have the whole office politics BS going on...I use to hate how the manager would stand up and yell "WE HAVE CALLS IN THE QUE!!" It's like yah...I can see that on my phone display, but I'm already busy on the phone, thanks. :XD

Le Pomme 10-02-2009 03:00 AM

Oh I know what you mean. Bahhh. "Guys can you hurry up?"
Too much yuckieness. Plus, I felt myself getting lazier and lazier... Call centers suck the life out of you completely.

On a different note: Love the witch avi. cute cute cute.

shaddowkitty 10-02-2009 03:20 AM

Hellooo, I found the old farts hangout =] I feel so accomplished now.

Izumi 10-02-2009 04:27 AM

Hehe thanks you Le! I'm hoping one of these days I'll catch Jelly's eye and win best dressed of the week...it's only a matter of time.... :XP

Hello Shadow!

Well guys, I don't know how much longer I'll be able to stay up. Just waiting for this sleeping pill to kick in. I knew I shouldn't of taken a nap this afternoon. :|

shaddowkitty 10-02-2009 04:29 AM

Hello Isumi, awe, I love naps, but i didn't get one today... and i totally am not sleepy right now, i have no idea why -blaming the sunkist cause it had caffine in it- Dx i've totally been cutting back on soda and really, anything that isn't water so it's kinda affecting meeeee ahhh

Izumi 10-02-2009 04:34 AM

Well my sleeping pattern has really gotten kinda messed up lately with me not working at the moment. I tend to want to be more of a night person, while my husband has to go to bed early as he starts work 6:30 in the morning.

shaddowkitty 10-02-2009 04:37 AM

ah, my sleeping schedual is always out of whack, even when I am working.

Izumi 10-03-2009 02:55 PM

I think I died and gone to heaven - Bandai have announced a new tamagotchi and it looks fabulous. I'm going to have to sit on my hands and save up the money and perhaps buy it for me for an early xmas gift.
