Ok you bitches, I'm leaving for Prague on Monday morning (9 AM) with a suitcase full of clothes, a backpack with a laptop (+ movies, games, music) and books. And official papers, ID, bank card of course.

Wish me luck! At first I'll be holed up in a temporary appartment provided by the firm, fixing up official papers and all that jazz (and getting a new cell phone SIM card, buying a metro subscription, etc). I officially start working on Wednesday.

Could be that I'll be AFI (Away From Internet) for quite some time, depending on how quickly I fix a place or how lucky I am in mooching off someone else's wireless LAN.

I'll still be internet-ized tomorrow but after that it's all vague. I'll miss you all! *sniff* Except for Pev, of course.

Good stuff. But err, why are you going off? Found a job I take it?

Read the Vanguard (i think) topic Derf. He's going to work in Prague indeed.

Btw, just checking if you're up to date with the new rules about shampoos, cheese and liquid materials in general on the airports Ox. You don't want to start your trip with a full cavity search do you?

Good luck in Prague, hope to hear about your adventures soon!

*hits ox round the head with pointy stick, then pokes him with it*

Ox, go creep out those prague people, I'm demanding you spread your terror to another country! And don't think you're rid of me, I shall text dammit! Either way, good luck ox, I'm sure you'll be fine and love it there.

Keep us updated whenever you can! Steal the internets at work

Thanks you guys...and yeah J, I kept the liquids thing in mind. Stupid rule but hey. I will defintely keep you all updated, and don't hate me if I don't immediately reply mails or texts Depends on money, availability and internet access! But I WILL stalk you, eventually.


Ooh I forget to post my new laptop and its specs...you tell me if it's any good or not. Picked it up for a 1000€.

Packard Bell Easynote MX66-203

Intel Core Duo Processor T2250
1024MB RAM
160GB Harddisk
nVidia GeForce Go 7300 512MB TurboCache
DVDRW Double Layer
15,4 inch Diamond View TFT
Wireless LAN
Integrated Webcam & micro
Numerical keyboard
4-in-1 card reader
4 x USB 2.0
Windows Media Center Edition / Vista compatible

I got it with XP of course.

That must weight a fair bit. It looks very much like a desktop replacement laptop, rather than a portable mobile laptop.

only just seen this, good luck mate, don't freak the woman out to much

hey, gratz on getting gainfully employed. And that's a decent box. I'll expect you on Vanguard within the next few weeks. Good luck in Prague. And remember...if they don't have beards, they're probably women.

we are getting too old
I'm nearing the end of my degree, everyone seems to be getting a job.....
gl anyway man

Yeah, in a few years I'll be the only slacker left.

bets?
I want to do a Masters next

I was going to do a masters too, but i'm kinda thinking against it now. My results this year weren't so great, so I think ill just run away with the Hons. The more i study the more i get sick of it and want to work. Some areas of academia are nausiating.

let me assure you that most areas of work are nauseating too.

If course, with work you get paid to put up with BS.
In academia, you pay people so they can give you BS.

Perhaps working is better.

Nah, I've had more fun playing with diseased bone instead.
Also you might get more money if you play your cards right

Why does this sound like some kind of slang i don't understand?
