Morning All!
Parksie! I'm glad the interview went well.
He he he. A word of warning though. My first real job out of College was with British Energy, I ended up serving a 5 year sentence in a nuclear powerstation.... it made me the man I am today :D. Be afraid. be very afraid.
Of course they were known by the far less politically correct names of Nuclear Electric and Scottish Nuclear then.
So where are you going to be working?

2: Doing software for analysing stress on mechanical components :)
afternoon all.
I have an idea. We should have a weekly poll, for the most annoying person on the boards, and the winner for that week has their title (or maybe avatar) changed for that week.
What do you reckon?
td.
Exellent idea....but it would be a tough race! I have a feeling my vote would always be the same every week though!
same here. I bet we're talking about the same person too ;-)
td.
I imagine so! Did Bonker share the mackeral with you?
nope, selffish bastard!
td.
That's what I get for trusting a dolphin with a wheelbarrow full of makeral. I should have known better!
Well, better than trusting it to me ;)
Not only did he not share....he left and took the whole kit and kaboodle with him! I hate to think what he might be doing with all that fish and whipped cream. :eek:
Without a word of a lie, thats exactly what they told me :DQuote:

This stress thingy. Is this where they put bits of metal inside the reactor, and take them out every two years during the outage to do analysis on them?
TD! An excellent idea.
SD
Katie - :eek:
SD - Well, I'm off to Uni after a year so they're not keeping me that long :D
Very perceptive...basically right on apart from it's all the integral components rather than extra bits.
Cool!
That should be pretty good fun. (assuming they don't have a legacy system running!). Do you know where in the country you are going to be working?
SD
My job will be helping to convert a legacy system (running on Suns! WOO!) to a newer one (also on Suns :p)
Working in Cheltenham which is good because dad can give me a lift in in the mornings, but they finish early on friday so I'll take mum's car then.
Hey Sd...do you do that MSN Instant Messenger stuff at all?
Parksie: Its good that they're not actually assigning you to one of the powerstations. They're pretty drab and boring places.
I only ask, because you might end up working with some of the folk that know me, but most of them are north of the border.
It's just that I had a tiny-eeny-weeny bit of a *cough* reputation *cough* when I was there, as a bit of a practical joker. (I still have some of the letters of complaint lying around :D ). well, what do they expect when they stick me out on some pinnacle jutting into the North Sea with 1,000 (male) engineers. Bordeom city. You have to liven it up somehow.
Katie: Re; Instant messenger. I don't do it in work, but I do have it on my home machine.
The machines here are pretty locked down as to what we can and can't do to them! (Make of that what you will ;))
SD
I don't have it at work either but I have it at home. I ended the evening last night chatting with someone who was just getting up to go to work......time zones are amazing things! It was a great way to end the day!
Before that I was talking to a VBW member who was trying to get me to pay for hosting his site!?!? I used all the usual Mom techniques
"Why don't you make a deal with your parents...you get straight A's and they pay for your hosting"
His answer was that his grades weren't good enough and he couldn't be bothered to study as his computer was his life.
It went on in this same vein until it was definitely time for me to go.................
The point is.......It would be great if you popped in occaissionally!....err...popped into instant messenger, I mean!
That could be interesting ;)
Although...I have a free day tomorrow so staying up incredibly late is acceptable - be scared! I can chat to you all of your evening ;) (all my morning :D)
I could die of old age waiting for VBW to respond today so I'm going to go eat lunch and see if it's any faster when I come back!
Cool!

It's fine for me most of the time :) Although I'm used to everything being slow as ****e :p
Enjoy your lunch :)
Yeah! That'll be a laugh. I'll pop-in (for a chat :)), but it doesn't look like it's going to be tonight. Britain has a massive army base a good few miles south of Calgary, and my cousin (who's in the army) is on an exercise there. He's just finished and I've just heard that he has a week off and is at present driving up to see us. I haven't seen this guy for about 10 years, so there should be lots of drinking tonight!
Excellent!
SD
Mr Demon, I believe that is an exemplary idea :)
katie d/l AIM, its so much betterQuote:

Skitchen: I'm in excellent fettle thanks. Just finishing off a nice big subway sandwich and a pint of coke (a sandwhich is way too healthy).
SD

Oh Yeah! Quick explanation for the non-brits. Solicitor = lawyer (quite appropriate really).
SD

Hmmm. I'm not watching it - don't really enjoy watching football much.
both me and my sheep piss on all your heads!! :p:D
whats the england score?
I oversleep, get my kids to school late, come in here only to be bored out of my mind. Bonker runs off with my wheelbarrow full of mackeral and all the whipped cream. What next??????:eek: :D
England won 2-0. Pretty sh*ty game, goal at the end of each half.Quote:
