Re: The Noodle Compound
One day, one of the walls in my room (not this house but long ago and a different place) was covered in woodlice. I killed the first 20. By midnight I killed a 100. Desperately, I phoned my l andlord, despite the hour. He really was the nicest landlord you can think of, he drove up to the place and gave me a spray and calmed me down a little.
So I sprayed the bloody room.
I forgot. It was my ONLY room. Now my room was poisoned. How was I going to sleep in that? Well, not.
So I decided to sit in the phone room. (it was a bit like a student place but in a vicarage and there was a coin phone in a seperate room). But who can you phone at 2 am? I decided to phone an American friend of mine who I often phoned to, for HIM this would be a normal time for a change.
We chatted away and he told me he got a new job. I thought that he said in a porn store. For half an hour of our talk I was convinced he said that, and I hate porn passionately and with a very good reason too, but I wasn't going to be moralistic. But the talk went awkward and he realised something was off.
It took him a bit to figure out what.
Then he started laughing, uncontrollably. What he had told me was he got a job in a pawn shop, a term I was not familiar with of course (my first language is Dutch and my English isn't great, so I don't know all the words).
On explaining it, it made me laugh too.
I wanna hear that story

Re: The Noodle Compound
Yeah the story is pretty funny
. Also your (written) English is pretty much perfect, significantly better than a lot of us "native speakers".
Agreed, your English is quite decent as best I've been able to notice. Still giggling over your porn story

Re: The Noodle Compound
Yay, end of an 100 hour, two week project today (bar a bit of kicking and screaming next week) and the end of an 18 hour day today! Double yay!
Mind you, that last few hours were spent chaperoning my team as they drank themselves silly, also a 10:30pm Italian meal. Was that "work"? At times, oh yes.
Oh boy, work in five and a half hours from now. Woot.

Whilst a career partying with my fellow :jig
los will always be the dream ... I am employed in IT, rolling out PCs and stuff, BAU, fixing and that sort of thing. Mostly on one contract but occasionally for a variety of different clients.
This weekend I will mostly be sleeping and dreaming of :jig:ing. :yes:

Breaking Bad is so awesome! I'm somewhere in season 2, haven't gotten the chance to watch much lately.
Also... *big bear hug!!!* Sounds like you needed one. =)
