What have you achieved in 2017?

[JollyRoger]

I'm groping for accomplishments that I can confess to.

^Any chance of your mood changing to something merrier in the next couple of years?

 

[JollyRoger]

Marry her? Are you nuts?

I'm hoping for 1 no Trump soon.

We can all hope. But, remember that 1 no-Trump is the most defeated contract.

I'm hoping for 1 no Trump soon.

A desperate preempt?
Sorry, all your potential partners have Yarboroughs.

It seems the year will end well; finalized contract for my second ever translation to be printed & pay pending.

Also, a possible new contract about a 700-page book (ie a lot of coin)

Perfect score on an exam

You are Matt Lauer and I claim my five pounds.

Played in the first ever Canberra edition of a long running charity "musicians vs journalists" footy game (qualified via footy blogging) where I looked like this:

That's very much how I felt after I had a vasectomy.

 

[Zkribbler]

Also I lost 20 pounds.

I can't believe I missed this. Congratulations!

Pretty good year

From the image: "reclink". Ok "clink" is colloquial for jail, as in being thrown in the clink. Australia was founded as a penal colony. Is the use of reclink on the jersey a call for turning Australia back into a penal colony?

I graduated and got a job as a high school history teacher in Lapland. Not much time for other achievements. Creating study material and planning courses is time consuming. I guess I made some pretty cool Netrunner decks.

You know, i hope there soon starts flowing a river of euro banknotes for me, with the translation stuff.
I mean, i originally was raised in a rich family, and would like my privileges restored.
Being working-class or cis-working class is fun, for a while, but not really good :/

Been thinking something simmilar just today but my conclusion is that its O.K. to be part of working "caste" as long as I lead myself to have detachment and wideness in thought, noble dreams and spirit of fighter.

Does cis-working class mean a person who is working class, and was of working class parents, hence cis "on this side". Or a person cis gendered person who is also working class? Can't we just get back to "all the proletariates of the world unite"?

 

[Broken_Erika]

This CIS working class work for these guys.

 

[Tahuti]

Well, you had Cisjordan and Transjordan, and we all know that it was Transjordan which became, well.. uh, Jordan.

 

[Kyriakos]

Cis-working class as in 'by and large' working class, of course.

Can you cite the passage where you're seeing it?

Any final minute achievements?

I am expecting the decision of a prestigious publisher (old, Athens-based) on some personal work of mine. It would indeed be hugely significant if they reply positively, cause i'd become actually known at the very least.
I think they would, if things were logical, but of course they aren't, and it is not at all unlikely they'll decline this time. At any rate they said they'd let me know during the holidays...
