Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with Musicman on this one.

No, don't do that. I should probably stop trying to give people advice, because every time I do, it involves punching whoever is causing the problem.
Instead, you should...umm...give him this look and run away next time. If it works as intended, he'll feel like a creeper and a terrible person and you won't have a problem with him again.

Oh, you guys. :roll:

What I look like is fine, no complaints there...it's just that I don't live in a place where people give compliments. Heck, people here don't even say "Hello!" when passing on the street, and when you say it to them, they get all awkward and look away. Hence my confusion.
Huzzah!

I blame Dr. Doofenschmirtz. Probably the work of some sort of Cheerfulinator.

There's something familiar about that face, Rose. Can't quite put my Persian Messenger booting foot on it...

One... Last... Module... Left... on the Hazmat Training Class. It is actuall HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) 40 Hours worth/1 week. It is sort of a re-cert, but not, since it was a few years since I had done it previously, I had to do the whole course over again. We will not be working with Hazmat, but it is because the area we will be working in, may have Hazmat, and we need to be trained, in case some is discovered, and need to emergency evacuate. We also will have to do 16 hours of training with the specific equipment we may need to use, when we get on-site.

I've been messing with Hazardous Materials for over 30 years now. Most Military Equipment, is Hazardous at some point or other.

I noticed early on, that a Military Retirement is only a change of Jobs. In my field, there isn't much choices for work outside of the Military. I took every additional duty, and Military/Combat related training that I could. With loads of deployments, I overlooked Air, Rail, Ship Loading, which included Marking and Certification of various hazardous materials. Knowing how to package and ship them in a safe manner. Then there is the issue of accidents, and the clean-up of any hazardous materials which may result from the accidents. Also, various forms of identification and protection from various hazardous materials which can be used in, or as weapons.

I have huge knowledge of HAZMAT, NFPA, OSHA, EPA, DOT, and FDA regs and requirements.

Crappy day at work, so I brought myself some R2-D2 Ice cube moulds. Now I just need to think of a nice drinky to put my ice cubes in.

Had a pretty awesome day today. Slept till 11 A.M., proceeded to play lots of Skyrim, and of course, be on the UESP while I was doing it. :D

And now it is 5 A.M. Saturday morning, and I am a sleepy-puss, so I will be going to bed now.

:roll: teenagers.....

So today, I got up at around 11AM, played a fair bit of Skyrim, (with a bit of Baldurs Gate 2 over Skype thrown in around the edges), and am now watching IPL until I fall asleep, probly around 2 or 3ish.

Today I discovered that, for the summer months, the place where I put my desk originally - in front of my two big windows looking out at the apartment entrance and the street (a lovely view, if I do say so!) - also happens to get a disgusting amount of sunlight during the summer months. I can tell by the way I have been blinded the last two weeks. Now I suppose I...have to go and get curtains?

The weird thing about moving is you think you need so little, and then once you get where you are going to live you realize how wide a variety of things you need. But, better to get them as you need them than to bring too much! I just hope I can put curtain rods up...seeing as how all my mirrors are still laying against the wall. Tehehe.

I watched a strange version about King Arthur last night. Arhtur was a Roman, and the Knights had a contract, that if they worked for the Romans, they would eventualy get their Freedom (15 years). Merlin was a Leader of a British Tribe, I beleieve they were Picts, the movie never said. Guenivier was also a Pict, and Arther found her as a slave/prisioner. The last mission they had to undertake was to rescure a Roman Family from a Saxon invasion.

I never caught the name of the movie though. I stayed up late to watch it, as it was interesting, and I was curious where it was going.

Also, a bit late... I remembered the other day (doing the class), that when I go to work in Hawaii, that I have to shave my beard, as a chemical protective mask will not seal properly with a beard... :cry:

Jeff, I love that film. It's simply called King Arthur: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0349683/ that is the film you are talking about right?

Also, sucks about the beard man... but you gotta do what you gotta do.

You have to shave the beard?

Papa Jeff...I...I will get the candles ready. We shall give the fallen Jeff beard a proper sending off and mourning period.

I saw that movie. It was pretty good, for what I was expecting.

I watched the movie Space Cowboys last night. It was incredibly well-done, plus an awesome cast.

Yeah, that is the one Dean. It was strange, but in a sense that you have to watch it. I ended up staying up 'til 11:30pm last night watching it.

I don't have to shave the beards yet. Not until we go, which should not be until around August. I'll feel wierd, but it will grow back. We have the technology, we can rebuild it, even better than before.

I liked Space Cowboys too. How can you not like a Clint Eastwood movie. Then add up the rest of the cast, it has to be good. Although, the movie is 12 years old... why are you just watching it?

How long does it take you to grow back the beard Jeff?

Also, I used to love that film, but today I don't do as much as I did when I was a kid.

Just a couple weeks. After about a week I can outline/shape how I want it to look. It starts looking normal in about a month.
