Man, this morning's been kinda hectic. Lots of calling back and forth chasing up a guy's home loan. Yeesh. I'm kinda glad that I don't usually do the loans/leasing side of financial planning.

I'm currently covering reception for lunch, so I have some time to waste. I'm also kinda amused that the sticker on my mandarin say "Gaypak". *g*

I was going to go to bed early last night, but tboy kept me up chatting on Messenger. She's a chatterbox, I tell you. *g* We were both going to do other things, but ended up discussing shoes, make-up and other girly things...like SB slash. However, I did finally managed to finish downloading Utena 1&2, and I should send a message to jmtorres when I'm back on my computer to let her know.

Hmmm... Okay, I've never attempted to use a CD burner in my life, so could someone enlighten me? Do they plug into a computer like a zip drive, or do they need to be permanently wired into your harddrive? I'm curious because I'd like to save the Utena ep's to CDROM and I'm trying to work out how this can be done.

You can get both CD burners in the machine and those that you plug in. We use both at work. Plug ins are a pain, but if you don't want major work done on your computer, the best option.

Ah. See, I need to either
a) get around to checking out how they cost
b) quit whining, and just accept the fact that they can stay on my harddrive. *g*

Thanks, Bernice.

Heh. I do pay attention to your journal. :-)

Just as well considering that totally forgot to email you. *g*

Duuuude. I'm appalled at this summary! :-/ *g* Next time, remind me to tell you how to strip and assemble a machine gun, 'kay?

I don't know whether to be freaked by the thought that you might know how to do that, or suggest, that if we're going to talk about "guy" things, car maintenance would be more useful. *g*

Guy things? GUY things???????

The machine gun skill is one I managed to pick up, along with certain types of sub machine guns, rifles and pistols :-). Basic infantry training, don'cha know.

I've never owned a car, although I did take car maintenance courses about 20 years ago. Those skills are just a tad too rusty, I think, sorry 'bout that.

Your reference to 'guy things' is making me twitch..

Heh. Didn't mean to make you twitch.

Sometimes, the sarcasm and air-quotes that I'd use in daily life, don't translate well online. *g*

Basic infantry training, don'cha know.

I think I'm officially just a little scared of you now. I'm not sure if it's the knowledge of guns, or the fact that you had the self-discipline to go through the training... Either way, I'm slightly intimidated. *g*

LOL! It wasn't regular army, it was Army Reserves, so it was done for 'fun', if you like.

Besides, I spent very little of my Ares time being a grunt - I was in the Band, so if you want to be scared, be scared of the thought of me on a stage with little to no talent!
