I'm 10 days without tobacco now (Back to vaping)…..

and I have yet to find a good "selfie spot", now that I no longer frequent the smoking area behind my work building.

good job bud.

@sabergirl:

Good on ya, @den1mhead.  You always find worthy causes to raise money for, but this one is personal, which makes it even more special.

Cheers @sabergirl and you are spot on as this one is very close to my heart

Ok, here is a first, and thought other people who have been in similar situation would find it funny….

So last week, one of the very well dressed Norwegian gentlemen on the forum requested my help to proxy a pair of ski boots from the US for him. Anytime I can help someone out and deceive the government (customs) at the same time, I am 100% game, so I quickly obliged.

Anyways, the Boots were supposed to arrive tomorrow, but arrived today in a menagerie of boxes filled with xmas gifts for the twins that we ordered on Cyber monday, so I didn't even notice they arrived early (and never even second guessed the fact that I had to sign for what I thought was $30 worth of kids puzzles). Anyways, I am at work and my wife calls me furious, and says "Adam, Why the F*** did you buy $XXX Ski Boots for??, you don't even Ski!"

I then explained the scenario to her and she quickly accepted by explanation...almost too easily mind you. So note to self, when you proxy something for someone - either explain the scenario to your wife BEFORE the fact, or be more proactive about hiding the box when it arrives.

Also, anyone had advice on how to trick norwegian customs about a pair of 12 pound ski boots... haha

Well, send them separately and mark them as repairs…. ::)

My interview went pretty well from what I could tell, and they said I would definitely hear back by the end of the week.

Excellent news…

If all goes well it'll be reason for me to open that Cantillon you traded me so long ago.

Good luck!

I have my first job interview in nearly 10 years here in 30 Minutes. Could mean a life changing career tweak. Since I’m usually the one doing the interviewing, this could be rather difficult lol [emoji23]

Thanks guys - crossing my fingers. If you asked me at age 18 what my dream job would be, this one would have been the answer.
