Great news dave , well keep the prayers going, and sure vik will keep his fingers crossed until you hear for sure.

Fingers crossed until they call you in for actual work Dave! Good luck and con grats!

Yeah, they emade a "Voyager Movie" but it was made into two episodes where they get home.

Well, done mate did you build something out of PC in the interview ?

Fingers crossed here

That's nice to hear. well done! and i also have my fingers crossed.


and yeah, my gf liked that bob ross remix too.

Hmmm I do love the miracle bra infomercial! it can be very distracting, did you know there's no underwire? and it can be super supportive and give you sexy cleavage?


... did you also know I get sidetracked easily?

Oh, yes Dave, sorry dude! my fingers are crossed for you too ;-) unlike the straps on the miracle bra!

LOL @ Nerd!

Thanks guys!

Even BETTER news!
When I got home THIS was waiting on my doorstep!

A re-pop of the original 1984 GI JOE Skystriker!!!!
It seems they used the original molds, except the cockpit was new to fit only a single pilot, but has more detail. The plastic nowadays is slightly softer. I suppose that the indestructible stuff used in the 80s is probably illegal nowadays. I can tell they used the same molds because the missiles still fall off easily
Then I attached all the stickers, including the bazillion "NO STEP" stickers, except this time, 25 years later I put them on straight..and then I flew a sortie in the backyard to chase the COBRA puppy around the yard!


Pure Bliss let me tell you!

She approves!

Of course she does, she's a red blooded American dawg that loves her freedom because GIJoe is there.

Fantastic, the only thing I wanted more then was the Veritech that looked like they started with that model and then changed into a robot (Robotech).

This one has a lot of optional stickers, both tail art and pilot names for Ace, Duke, Flint, Snake-Eyes, and Shipwreck. I of course chose Shipwreck, because there is nothing cooler IMHO than a sailor and his parrot flying an F-14. Shipwreck was so tough, he didn't even need oxygen or G-suits at high altitude like the the other "pansy" pilots. Now I need to dig up my 25th anniversary Shipwreck fig

Shipwreck met a bad end on Robot Chicken!

I own one of those, Dave. We're Skystriker Buddies!

Woohoo! I also just bought a '08 Rattler re-pop from evil bay, I never had one of those as a kid. now my childhood is finally complete!

@Shas LOL, so did Junkyard

er...just to be on the save side here... to nail an interview means you did it right and you will get that job?...the figure of speech is new to me...but if so... then congratz mate! I hope that new job makes you way more happy than your last work in a coal mine...!

and good looking jet there^^

Well, I think it went well, I don't have an offer yet, but these things take time and I am much more hopeful today than I was before.
kind of like this feeling

yes...I can understand that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

was it a difficult interview? when I was yesterday doing the dishes I was thinking of your interview...(it was straight at the time when you were probably sweating^^) and I crossed my fingers in my green rubber gloves^^

No, it was really good, they only asked me questions I was prepared for, not all the tricksy and false ones

Huh! Vik has green rubber gloves!.................I always imagined him in pink ones.......

naww.... often I get me yellow ones^^... with these green ones I feel like a superhero if older times ...valiantly fighting stubborn stains

at dave... ah good... they can ask some really mean ones in interviews...like...:"where do you see yourself in five years from now..." "whut? I only just came here to work here...where should I then go next, eh?" or why should we take you???... really... these things can get quite ugly... my last interview was about rock music^^... that one was easy^^

Hmmm you want a job with us yes?


what colour rubber gloves do you wear?


.... Green eh!

I'm sorry we don't employ your kind.......

see?! what do we teach our kids these days? favouring pink or heavens preserve yellow gloves over green... what the world has coming to...shame... shame...

I do my dishes when I can bare handed!!

My bare hands press he buttons on the dishwasher....sometimes it works other times I get slapped .

well... I like to use almost in cooking water... so to speak... and this is not good for my skin... I have a rather weird patch of skin on one finger...and I try to avoid dishwasher soap on my hands these days... so no bare skin...

Heh! I learned a long time ago, the ridges of fingers and hands act like brushes on dishes!

I am Da Washuh!

actually.... my gloves have a lil pips that help me wash the plates and stuff...^^

And I have success! a derailed thread before bedtime! :-) Mwahahahahahahahah! *cough*

We all must have goals. I wish I could find one of my old gaming shirts, because it would fit you. It said "chaos, disorder, panic.....my work here is done."

I am a veritable vortex of vexations and vectors, a vafrous and vagile, a vallum of variegated vitalism.
