A tag, how exciting *mixed feelings after a long day*. Anywho, this one's for Ash.
Four jobs that I've had
- Paper boy. Not so much delivering papers as it was selling them. On Sundays. Mornings. Ah, fun. It was the first job I ever had, I got sucked into it through my classmates, cause a lot of people did that back then. So they recruited us to sell Dagbladet, I think we got about 20% of the price of the paper to ourselves, that was 2kr on 10kr. I sold about 30 of them every Sunday, in the same neighborhood, to the same people. I heard others sold in the 60s-70s. I've never pursued a salesman job after that. Did that for about 6 months, including one winter. That was fun, walking in 40cm of snow.
- Painting the daylight lab at the university. Got that one through *cough* contacts. So basically there was this room that was all white, they wanted it black. I bought the paint, got a ladder, got to work on it. Took me quite a while to cover the walls and ceiling (obviously I dripped lots of paint on the floor though I wasn't supposed to). I believe it took a full weekend and then some.
- Scanning photos & making web pages. Summer job this one, lasted me about 2 weeks I think. Got to work on scanning pictures mostly, that was an incredibly bore (well duh), but I did have some relaxed days in my office doing that, no pressure on efficiency.
- My only "real" job to date. Just left that one a few weeks ago, I worked for the High Performance Computing group at the university. Real jobs are no fun to talk about.
Four movies I could watch have seen over and over
No matter what the movie, I get sick of it.
- Bad Boys - looooooved the movie score
- Ocean's Eleven
- Independence Day - it was cool at the time
- Con Air
Four places that I have lived
- Łódź
- Mysen
- Oslo
- Trondheim
In that order.
Four TV shows that I watch
Well I don't actually watch anything that's on tv these days. But here's some picks for ya.
- Seinfeld (number one needless to say)
- Scrubs
- Frasier
- First Wave - an old classic
Four places I've vacationed
- Paris
- Amsterdam
- London
- Barce Valencia
Four of my favourite dishes
- Fruit salad
- my spaghetti torinese is famous in a few obscure places
- Coffee flavor ice cream
- I'm out
Four sites I visit daily:
- http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en
- http://www.cs.uu.nl/
- http://reddit.com/
- http://rss.slashdot.org/ - not religious about it though
Four places I would rather be [than a computer lab]:
- Netherlands Antilles - looks like a really cool place
- Coffee Heaven
- at home
- on a soccer pitch
Coffee heaven :D
One day I'll take you and we'll worship together :D
The first time I pass on a tag and no-one is happy! :confused:
Btw, what is http://rss.slashdot.org/? Because when I put in the address I just get taken to Feedburner.com. Or is that where it's supposed to take me? In which case I'm doubly confused because...do you have a Feedburner feed?
"my spaghetti torinese is famous in a few obscure places" :D Wondering how that tastes :dielaugh:
[3] Erm, no that's incorrect. What I meant was the slashdot rss feed on my google home page. Just make that http://slashdot.org/ then.
[4] Ask Erik, I made it for him once, only with some bogus ingredients cause I couldn't find the real stuff. :D
That was spaghetti? I thought it was a Norwegian thing...
[5] [6] Well, now I'm really getting curious about this recipe of yours? What are the ingredients? :party:
* spaghetti/pasta
* carrots
* onions
* canned tomatoes
* this: http://no.wikipedia.org/wik...
season with paprika and whatever
Interesting...
