Random Thoughts Sechs: Eeeeehhhh...

[MaryKB]

Oh dear, I had to google zero-hour contracts, as I've never heard of them before ... that sounds just truly awful!

I'm on salary, so I don't get paid overtime ... but I don't get docked undertime either. As long as I can get all my work done, it doesn't matter that I only really work 10-20 hours a week (depending on the week!), because I work better in bursts and get a lot done in a really short period of time.

No idea where to put this so i'll shove it here.

'Boaty McBoatface' maps deep ocean water
Intrepid submarine Boaty McBoatface has made its first significant discovery, say UK scientists.

The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) has built a 3D map of deep ocean waters as they move away from Antarctica.

Researchers previously had limited data to show these currents were warming.

Boaty's investigations can now confirm that turbulence is causing warm water at mid-depths to mix down and raise the temperature of the colder, denser water running along the ocean floor.

Scientists say they can link this behaviour to changing wind patterns.

These have been blowing more strongly over the Southern Ocean in recent decades due to the hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica and the increase in greenhouse gases.

The turbulence comes in part from these changing winds acting on the surface of the ocean, but also from the interaction of the currents as they run across rugged topography of the seafloor.

I still think that Usain Boat would have been a better name.
At least they used this only for the sub and not the actual mother-ship.

Boaty McBoatface is some disgusting ****** reddit ****. Usain Boat on the other hand.. Elegant, simple, funny, rolls of the tongue. It's in the movie!

There was a far better example in a paving/construction vehicle that I can't remember the name to, but its proposal was turned down, so boaty mcboatface will suffice as an alternative.

So my gf left me. I think. I can never get a straight answer out of that woman. It's ok I guess, wasn't meant to be and all that. She wants marriage and kids, I do not. Also she's very religious and I'm not, that became a bit of an issue. Also other stuff. And on top of that she's moving south so it's probably for the best. But she's beautiful and we had great chemistry and I'm glad I met her.

I am sure you will find another, equally good or better
And, as you said, you had good times together.

When will you be hearing from company B?

Is it weird that I thought you were referencing "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" there?

Awwww ... I'm so sorry Snerk, I hope your heart isn't broken too badly. I'm really glad you have fond and warm memories of your relationship with her, and I wish both of you to find happiness.

I'm also so deeply sorry if I've in any way made things harder for you at all with my recent playfulness here.

 

[rah]

Yeah, too bad. But if you could never get a straight answer out of her, probably for the best.

 

[Snerk]

Thanks. I'm ok with it I guess, wasn't exactly out of the blue.

Nah don't be silly, playfulness is never a bad thing.

That's too bad, I'm happy you're still glad you met her.

 

[MaryKB]

I'm glad it sounds rather mutual, I can understand having love like you do but also realizing things just won't work. I hope you're able to find someone who shares your passions and your dreams.

Sadly, I'm also rather religious, and I want marriage and children, lol (the status of my beauty is debatable though)

Don't get me wrong, I didn't actually want it to end but I can see that we had rather different aspirations for our lives for the foreseeable future. The religious issues was on her end. Wasn't an issue for me at all but just having a bf and having fun was very complicated for her.

There's a nice saying which goes:
Don't be sad that it's over.
Be happy that it happened.

With WW2 it might be better the other way around. Dont be sad it happened, be happy its over.

Oh I'm so sorry that it's not something you wanted

I can understand her feelings about needing to go to another level ... being with a guy and "having fun" can work for a long time, but eventually you want to start working toward your future, and need to know things are going somewhere. If you and she aren't at the right place, I feel it's not fair to either of you.

And whew, I'm glad to hear being religious isn't a deal-breaker for you!

On TV was an advertisement for some medication (I forgot the name) and at the end it gave a warning not to take it if you were allergic to it. Not to one of the ingredients, but to the medication itself. I found that odd.
