Oh, and how I am today,
I'm anticipating a hangover.


Nothing has changed over the past month then :p

I can't. I don't have the time to take care of it properly, nor the space to give it and you either look after a pet properly, or not a all.


I agree 100%. We're very lucky in that my other half works from home, so can be with Marvin during the day. Any chance you could do the same?

It's pure denial because I turn this week 29, so the big three-oh is around the corner, and I finished my study and I'm a working man currently. I have to compensate for all these responsibilities I have as a grownup man now ;)

Friends of mine advised me to get a cat, because you can leave cats alone during the day of work.

My project was reviewed a 9 out of 10, so pretty good I suppose :)

Though getting a job was kinda hard, I got lots of replies, but they all were a bit reluctant when I told them I have Asperger. Thankfully, a company where I've done an internship before, were looking for programmers, and they knew what I'm capable of.

But cats are rubbish. No pet can provide the companionship of a dog.

If they can't recognise your skills, abilities and great personality during the interview, but have to use a label to decide whether they want to employ you, then they're not worth working for. You can do better than people like that!

Great! Is it the company you wanted to work for before, when you had already accepted a place elsewhere?

It all matters what kind of cat or what kind of dog.
And of course it matters how you are.

Look at how soft and gentle this cat is:

Yeah, but that's an exception. Most other cats look like this:


and pretty much all dogs look like this:



The only exceptions to that are those stupid Chihuahua things, which I believe are the result of a cat and a dog both being inside that machine in The Fly.

God, is that all? As bummers (that's the melancholic meaning of the word) go, 30 is so overhyped.

I dreaded turning 30. Then it happened. And guess what? Didn't really feel any different.

That expression has puzzled me quite some years indeed, but I've accepted it that some expressions just do not make sense :lol:

Eh, no, that's another. There I couldn't find any vacancies. And the company where I finished my graduation project, had to lay off people because of the recession, so they were not legally entitled to hire me.

Of course I know that ;) Just being overdramatic.
But still, I have to confess I don't live the life I lived when I was 23.
