I feel like the most Japanese part of that was the fact that the company apologized, even though no one complained.

[Cole]

After 9 years I quit my job 30 minutes ago.

[neph93]

^ Wow! Hopefully a positive thing?

[UnTucked]

Flat out QUIT, or you had previously planned this?

Either way, what's to come must be better than what you had… Congrats!

[Cole]

I hope so.

They pay better and offer better perspectives on the long run, financially and careerwise. Plus I get to learn a lot of new stuff that will raise my marketvalue for the field I work in a good deal for the future.

All things my current employer could not offer.

The only downside is, that I'll have to drive 2h per day by bus and train now instead 30 min with the car. But the short distance was the only objective plus point of my current job (aside of a good Boss and nice colleagues).

[neph93]

Congratulations! A short commute is a luxury in this day and age. The benefits you list should ease the pain.

[Graeme]

OK, first they warned that robots will take all our jobs, now we've got robotic ninjas to worry about! :o

Five minute walk to work… Luckily... If I had to deal with other people at 5am, I'd be in jail for manslaughter and grave assault...

As of today my efforts to increase the population of Norway have been permanently, surgically, ended ️[emoji33]

[Seul]

Did you get it done or did you have the check-up?.. My mate's friend had to have his plumming cut twice…

In your case, I'm sure they'll have to resort to amputate everything under the nose...

oh thats right. adios huevos! speaking of pain easement… enjoy the meds!

[Giles]

Keep your end up Neph

[neph93]

Seul, just the snip-snip today. Giles, my end is staying exactly where it is, up or down. This is less comfortable than I imagined it would be… luckily I have drugs. On another note, Hot Ingrid has bought sausage and eggs for tea. Laugh? I nearly did.

[UnTucked]

Been there, done that… Asst age 23.

Now, we're looking to get a reversal.

*Be careful... Don't laugh too hard... Or sneeze... And, when it is time to "clear the pipes", there will be blood (Nobody told me that... I almost fainted)

I can only imagine the scare and the very rapid googling trying to find out if you're okay or not

It was 2008…

Googling wasn't the cultural pillar that is currently is, lol

Also speaking from experience, cranberry colored urine does tend to ruin your day.

[Graeme]

Was this a voluntary vasectomy, or did Mrs neph93 see how much @neph93 had spent on clothing, and do the deed with a couple of house bricks?

[neph93]

Hehe… @Graeme  I think we can all agree that the vasectomy was necessary for obvious reasons, and possibly came a little late in the day.

An adoption of a «don’t ask, don’t tell» policy, combined with an admission that she can no longer keep track of my clothing means there is peace round the hearthfire when it comes to purchases.

[Graeme]

@neph93 consider yourself making up for my failure to reproduce so far. In which case it all balances out.

Actually, my girlfriend is learning of my expensive tastes. I was eyeing up an Andersen S3 cabinet, and the price caused her to repeatedly tell me, "You're not getting that!"

I suspect that it's going to become a regular conversation.
