The totally off-topic thread

Well this sucks. The doors on the inside of our office have buttons. I sent an email to people last week telling them not to press the buttons. So what did they do on Friday night? They pressed the buttons. They knew there was a problem Friday night but decided to wait until Tuesday. They forgot I had to call into work to collect some materials for first thing Tuesday (PH Monday) and I can't get into the office. Now waiting for a locksmith. Sheesh.
 
Pushka, eek :o sometimes one needs to do more than just an email but surely people can remember ... And it sucks not being told about it because you would have fixed it yesterday.

Just been on an very interesting Course - St Lucia Golf Course to be exact. 3 people hit 41 stableford points or better. Swab them :(

At least I can okay to my new handicap (21). Proved it today. But 36 points was good for nothing apart from my NTP.

Yeah. The email went out after they'd already locked themselves out once. Now twice. Slow learners methinks :(. I did stick signs up bit they thought it unnecessary. Sigh.

That's not bad considering today's strong wind

Is there something wrong with the forum's time settings?

Since I joined I've always had the time setting at GMT+8 (WST) and it still is. I'm currently in WA. However, the most recent post on AFF is showing as 11.02am, which is one hour from now.

And I see, after just posting this, that it posted at 11.05am.
 
I think there may be a server time issue - the USA is going to Summer time this evening ...

I found this on FB. Not that this applies to me but with many couples here, I thought this would be an interesting exercise.


If it did apply to me, potential locations could include at work, at a gig, at 70000 Tons of Metal, in Vegas, in a hotel room in Amsterdam.

This happens every year. And every year some one notices. Sorts itself out in 24 hours

They are happening. People keep them quiet usually, so not surprising you haven't noticed them.

I didn't say they were dead and I wan't talking about office flings. Very difficult to keep a serious relationship quiet. There are a couple of couples where I am currently working and they both have been together for a long time.
 
First shift completed for the year at my Fire Control Centre. Lucky for me, I went in last Tuesday night. I was able to find out some changes to proceedures.

At the end of the shift, I found an armband that would be good for cove - PLANT SUPERVISOR.
 
Not sure how many of you read the blog ONE MILE AT A TIME, and yesterdays piece about MH370.
Reflecting On Airline Safety And What Really Matters In Life


Life is about people.

My parents are the most important people in my life. I talk to my mom probably five times a day. I call her so often that if she doesn’t hear from me for three hours she assumes I’m dead. One day last week I only called her once, and she told me “I feel like we never talk anymore.” I guess that’s a good thing?
But part of that is being on the same page as my parents. My mom used to say “I don’t know what I’d do with myself if you ever died while flying.” And she’s not like that anymore.
She understands it’s my hobby. She understands it’s my passion. She understands how safe it is. And she understands that it’s truly what I would’ve wanted to do. When she starts with “what if” scenarios, I remind her of all the danger I could have been in on the ground if I hadn’t flown the three million plus miles that I have.
I don’t believe in things being “meant to be,” but I do believe that we only live once, and that we have to make the most of it. Flying is outrageously safe, and as far as I’m concerned the smartest thing we can do is travel as much as possible, even in light of this.
You can’t take material goods with you when you die, but you can leave memories, so make the most of it. And as the popular quote goes, “the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”

some of the this blog had some things that almost contradicted themselves but it certainly made you think. Sometimes we worry about the lounges the points getting the best seat but the most important thing about travel is getting to the other end, and catching up with people.
 
Probably a bit late Bundy Bear, but on the UK PayPal this is where you can manage your subscriptions: To change or cancel your agreement with Go Gym Limited, log in to your PayPal account at www.paypal.co.uk go to your Profile, and click My money. Then in the "My pre-approved payments" section, update the agreement.

The saying ".... but I do believe that we only live once, and that we have to make the most it...." makes no sense to me. If you only live once it does not matter whether you made the most of it or not unless you wanted your name in history somewhere by doing something important.

Now if we lived more than once and you got a second and third chance etc, then that would be a totally different story....

At the risk of getting political (I'm not), if the current dispute between the Govt and QLD Senior Drs isn't resolved the public part of the hospital might become a white elephant :shock:

"Making the most of it " has nothing to do with being famous.
It's more about what is important to you personally and what you wanted to achieve. ( unless that was to be famous?)
