I hope I misunderstood.
No, I lost my work a while ago. I have been ill since the end of December and in January I changed my employer, the contract had been made by the end of November. When my illness grow worse they took advantage of my contract being new and threw me out.

Which was ok. I didn't like it there anyway. They wanted me do things that are illegal, like checking the bags of my collegue after work and stuff like that. Guess they weren't too fond of me either when I didn't want to do these things.

First my health insurance paid my keep but this is out now and I am officially on unemployment money, which is only sufficient to pay your rent and the telephone bill. Will have to find something soon as all my playmoney is gone in the meantime.

Don't worry darling! As far as I remember all Belgians love fried stuff.

I now this is a hard to break habit. You are not the first one to realize. But once you were away from a board for a couple of weeks you will wonder what it was that kept you there in the beginning. Its like watching soaps or reading series. You think you can't do without and once you stopped you wonder what it ever was all about.

Just ignore us for a while. All we do is anyway

That was what I realized when I was in the library earlier today. The first thing I did after I sat down: brought the Kindle out, then turned on wifi, went to bookmarks, found URL for MobileRead...

I call her Pop, privately, for a very long time.
Every time I bookmark her post for karma sharing, I put Pop - "message"

I originally and personally think of Pop as Poppa, but we shouldn't be too mean with the poor beggar I think we should take it more private. Alright Pop. Er I mean Poppaea. I won't publicly call you Pop, or Poppa, or something really nasty in my mind at the moment

Just a quick note for the Liptons bashers here. I saw a programme last night that said that it's the biggest selling tea in China. Now what do you make of them apples?

Um, I actually call her Poppaeas Maximus in my head. You guys do know that the "original" Poppaea was supposedly a major troublemaker, right? That's no excuse for what Nero did to her, though.

Anyway, history time over.

I am so jealous. I so much miss my diet Dr Pepper. (I think you missed it but I was a major diet DP addict, but this stomach virus I got last month ruined it. For some reason now I can't drink it. ) I can drink regular Pepsi over ice, but even that not as a regular thing. It's so weird. *pouts*

ME? A troublemaker? Can't be

And my poor Nero! He loved me! It was an ACCIDENT!!! When will people stop blaming him? We had an argument, he threw a tantrum, the rest is history

I like the Maximus part It is soooo true I am 5,9 and weigh at least, erhm,
