Deleted User	So far I've been at a bar with friends, drank pear cider, watched football, had a pizza and posted on GameFAQs (and here). After Mrs Alxbly is finished watching her Sex and the City DVD I'm gonna play some GTA Liberty City Stories (PS2).

I could never drink it in large quantities, but one or two during dinner always went down well. My favorite is their Raspberry Hard Cider, though. I rarely drink these days but I couldn't have made it through college without it! B)

Just got back from 11.5 hours of non-stop work, so I need to stuff my face before I collapse tonight. Maybe I'll post some more tonight if I'm still sane/conscious (10 of those hours were spent staring at a computer monitor!). Maybe this weekend, I'll putz around on the bike, and log my weekly quota of (a few hours of) Perfect Dark. Kinda gave up on Ms. Pac-Man... I blame it on ADD, like most hearty Americans would.

Nintendo sixty-floorcat :P Posts: 2,646 Group: Admin Member #10 Joined: May 11, 2006	Yup, I'm outta bed... unfortunately, I haven't been sleeping that much... I'm still getting up ~5:30am like I do on weekdays, but I've not been going to bed until ~2am! That pear cider sounds pretty darn good... I think pears are a very overshadowed, underappreciated fruit in general. Apples tend to steal all their limelight. (~pun intended~) I gave myself a haircut in the morning, and stuffed my face with all sorts of grease for dinner yesterday (mmmm...).

Deleted User	I went looking for pear cider yesterday and nowhere near me sells it. These people just don't know good quality. Darn those stores and their 'normal' apple cider nonsense. Bring on the pears, that's what i say.

Nintendo sixty-floorcat :P Posts: 2,646 Group: Admin Member #10 Joined: May 11, 2006	Wow... holy crap... I'm tired. 39.5 hours of work over four days... 12.5 of them were logged yesterday. And dangit! only 30 minutes away from hitting overtime!! Excluding the 4th of July, over 60% of all the time I wasn't sleeping this week was spent working... and the scary thing is, both my boss & engineering lead probably work at least 30% more than I do!!! I think this weekend'll be devoted to sleep (again... and unfortunately). How about you guys?? is pre-emptively jealous

Deleted User	I've had a pretty busy week. We have flexible working hours, so if you work for longer then you can take up to a day and a half off each month. I've been starting work at 10am a lot recently, and not working as long as I should. End result is I'm -5 hours, so I've been trying to work a bit longer. Doesn't help that my boss recently moved downstairs to join the rest of the team, and she's a total ****. A once happy office is now void of any chat at all. I can feel her sucking the happiness out of the room. Time for a new job, I think.

You don't stand a chance Posts: 3,865 Group: Admin Member #4 Joined: April 13, 2006	This saturday has been great so far. I woke up at 9:00 AM, only to find that I didn't have time to have breakfast as I had to help my Dad chop a whole stack of firewood. A couple of hours later I went to the city and had some coffee and a nice walk with my girlfriend. So far so good.

Deleted User	Well guys, this has been a busy weekend. Friday I went to a bar after work and had a few ciders (not pear cider unfortunately) and ended up getting a kebab on the way home. I've been selling the transformer toys I got as a kid on ebay, and I sold a few of them this weekend. Mrs Alxbly and me have been looking at getting a new sofa, and we ordered one today. I also went a bit crazy with online shopping, and I've bought Snowboard Kids (N64), a 1GB USB flash drive and I ordered a import copy of the Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) Soundtrack CD and a Gamecube 1019 block memory card. My credit card must be feeling tired now... And in between all that I've been playing a bit of Baten Kaitos (GCN), Shadow Man (DC) and Perfect Dark (N64).

Nintendo sixty-floorcat :P Posts: 2,646 Group: Admin Member #10 Joined: May 11, 2006	^excellent story Kinda reminds me of a 7th grade field trip I went on. On of my "bigger" friends (as in, he played American football) had to go to the bathroom a few hours before our bus would reach its destination. He tried his hardest to hold it, but it was hopeless, especially since the driver was already fed up by this point with stopping every 30 minutes for bathroom breaks. So he took an empty 2-liter bottle of Mtn. Dew (which he had emptied prior all by himself, strangely enough), hid underneath a blanket, and came out a few minutes & satsfied groans later with a 1-liter-full bottle. I was pretty impressed. Anyways, my weekend's going alright... I was pooped yesterday though. I literally fell asleep while reading the past week's posts here! I think I put in at least 40 hours of work... which were especially tough because nothing was working right and I had about 3 testers calling for help at any given moment. Definitely the most stressful (non-academic) week of my life thus far!! I had set a goal to sleep 30 hours this weekend... I'm halfway there

Deleted User	Well, my weekend's nearly over, but I don't care because... I'm on holiday for two weeks!!! Sweet, no work for two whole weeks. And on Tuesday my new digital camera's arriving (it's this one here). Sweet. I'll be spending all this week taking photos and then mrs alxbly is off next week so we might end up going away somewhere... Floorcat, you sure do sleep a lot.

Nintendo sixty-floorcat :P Posts: 2,646 Group: Admin Member #10 Joined: May 11, 2006	Nice! Playing video games until you're physically incapable of doing so is the best!! It's something I don't do & haven't done all that often recently... unfortunately. Replace "playing video games" with "working" (until you're physically incapable of doing so) and that would be the story of my life this last week Probably did close to 60 hours(!)... I hope my supervisors don't mind the 20 or so hours of OT I'll be logging. ($cha-ching$) This current project will be wrapping up this next week, so hopefully I'll have a little more free time. alxbly Jul 16 2006, 05:49 PM Floorcat, you sure do sleep a lot. Sleep is a wonderful, wonderful thing. I probably end up spending 70% of my weekends in PJs I don't think I got the full 30 hours last weekend, but I'm pretty sure I came quite close! Maybe I'll have better luck this weekend! Alxbly, I am soooooooooooooooooooooo jealous of your holiday!!!$#%! Have you and the Mrs. made plans yet to go anywhere this coming week?

Deleted User	No, we were gonna go away for a long weekend, but mrs alxbly wants to go to her friends secret 21st birthday meal (which is fair enough), and I accidentally spent my cash on this. Oops. You gotta stop working so many hours, floorcat. It's not good for you.

Nintendo sixty-floorcat :P Posts: 2,646 Group: Admin Member #10 Joined: May 11, 2006	Yeah... that camera's pretty sweet. Nothing to "Oops" about. I remember the TV commercial in Japan when it came out there... it was really goofy. Everything was space-age futuristic-esque, and this glitsy Japanese female model holding the camera was the only thing on the screen, and after the bg voice was done listing all the various features, she started vibrating like a robot about to self-destruct or something, and then the camera took the picture, which was advertised as being exceptionally clear. Apparently you don't even have to hold it steady to keep your pictures from blurring like crazy, right? Plus it's insanely small, like anything out of Japan, electronics or not. Anyways... time to go back to sleep. Work hard and... errr... rest hard, I suppose.
