Duggeh Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Biggest. Multiquote. Ever. Indeed. Congratulations Doug. I predict a large celebration next weekend. I hope not. There are far more worthy things to celebrate. Like someone recently cutting their toenails. Congrats Duggeh! Awesome news, Doug, congratulations! Congratulations Duggeh Congrats Dr. Duggeh, or is it the Gin Reaper? ...Congrats Duggeh! Ditto. A Glencairn of QC from me for another future professional added to the fold. **BRENT** Thanks guys. It does mean a lot to have people be pleased at the news. I suspect that there are people who are in fact more happy than I am! My Doctorate in wood is only honorary, but from one Dr. to another CONGRATULATIONS! I'll have to speak to the Head-Case faculty at the upcoming meeting about a chair for you in the timber dept. Your contributions to the field merit greater recognition. Duggeh Congrats on getting into the PhD program. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I got mine. Essentially had a great time until the last two months which without fail suck because actually writing your thesis is a PITA. Pile higher and Deeper I spent the day "discussing" with a bunch of other PhDs about a US Navy research program.... fun fun I hope itll be awesome. I'm really looking forward to a retun to St Andrews student life. Itll be hard slog but hopefully all fascinating. My initial "in" was for the MRes programme, but after speaking to Dr Harris it seemed the PhD entry was much more apt.
swt61 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Thanks guys. It does mean a lot to have people be pleased at the news. I suspect that there are people who are in fact more happy than I am! Well yeah, it's easy for us to just be happy. You're the one who has to do all the work!
melomaniac Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 prepared for upcoming business trip that is threatening to take over the entire long holiday weekend
melomaniac Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 I'd absolutely believe it's at 15,000ft, based on what I saw from my flight into LAX yesterday morning. I've seen a lot of CA wildfires, but never anything with a smoke plume that large and concentrated. from the 405 last saturday, it looked like a column. last time the fires were closer, we could see yellow smoke, this time it's white. I guess you need to be a da vinci code nut to interpret what that means. of course, everyone going north had their cellphones up to take pictures like this one while driving. (no cellphones while driving being the law... and the american credo being that laws are for other people, it seems...) but I moved into a bigger office with very powerfully overcranked AC, and I still smell no smoke. I'm just cold. well, except for my ears - kept warm by headphones...
Dreadhead Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) Printed off lost posters for our cat, filed lost cat with Home Again etc... We really hope she turns up. We're worried she's stuck somewhere outside. I'm still too hopeful to be totally bummed but my wife is rather upset. Edited September 3, 2009 by Dreadhead
Aimless1 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Hope your lost cat is found right quick!
Sherwood Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Man, Chris, that's awful. Here's hoping your cat finds it way back home quickly!
Voltron Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 It's a bad week for Head-Case pets. Here's to hoping she finds her way back soon.
morphsci Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 @Duggeh: Congratulations on the future PhD. Now you have to learn the secret handshake @Chris:
Dusty Chalk Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Aw, I met that cat, that's a great cat. I hope you find her and soon, Chris.
Dreadhead Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) Aw, I met that cat, that's a great cat. I hope you find her and soon, Chris. @Duggeh: Congratulations on the future PhD. Now you have to learn the secret handshake @Chris: No mentioning the handshake! What happens in grad school stays in grad school It's a bad week for Head-Case pets. Here's to hoping she finds her way back soon. Man, Chris, that's awful. Here's hoping your cat finds it way back home quickly! Hope your lost cat is found right quick! Thanks guys.

grawk Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 put my newly reconed drivers back in my L65s. Man I hate these spring post speaker terminals
ronnielee54 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Drove around picking up funding applications for municipal works projects. If all of these projects have to started by 2/10/2010 to receive stimulus money, where in the fuck are we going to get all of the contractors and laborers.

Sherwood Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Or, in seriousness, phase the projects. Start with a smaller workforce for the initial phase.
aardvark baguette Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 I didn't mean for that to be insulting in any way, for the record. Its just simply the case.
The Monkey Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Ate, drank, ran. Generally had a good day.
guzziguy Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Ate, drank, ran. Drank. Drank some more. Kept drinking.
swt61 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Yesterday I set 10) 16' X 8" X 8" pilings 8' into the ground. Today the plan is to cut saddles on the top of each, for the beams that will support joists. I'm building a shade pergola to cover the outdoor kennels of my local animal shelter. They should have started the project in May, but at least the little doggies will get some relief in a few days.
Headphone Dreamer LD Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Working all day which is fine, as I have equipment to purchase and enjoy pursuing these goals. It's good to have fulltime employment.
Salt Peanuts Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Went back to where we got married to play a round of mini golf. My better half whipped my butt.
Duggeh Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Ate a Big Mac from last night for breakfast. Waited an hour for a train home. Began packing and checking for tomo morning. So far the balance is towards less clothes more booze. Although I was cunning and put bottles of beer inside my shoes.
