Hmm...

So here I am, not really able to afford to go say goodbye to a good friend because I can't afford the fuel, and in honour of this, I'm linking to an amusing website with a bunch of comics that relate to this little issue...

Look!

*Gasp* It's a post by me! As you may have noticed, I've been unable to get on the computer lately... Thanks to no less than three broken computers and the fact that I've moved and ended up once again on dialup, which is enough to discourage anyone from posting.
Right now I'm at my mom's, looking after my little brother for her. It's pretty easy, he's at school most of the day, and she gets home around five, which is only an hour after he finishes school. I'm basically there to make sure someone's around if she has to go out on a call.
I've applied for a paramedic job way up here. They're even going to train me for free, provided I work a certain number of hours for them. I went for my interview yesterday, which went well. I have the option to either start training next month, or else take it all summer. The shorter course will likely be better, but I may be working at the hatchery again, so that could cause some conflict, unless I only work part time. We'll see. Until then, I was told I could fill out some paperwork then go on ride-alongs to see what working for them would really be like. I'll likely start doing that as soon as I figure things out.
My friend Chris is off for general training at the end of the month, so it's unlikely you'll be hearing much about him ever again. Oh well. It was loads of fun while it lasted. I have a couple of guys chasing me about here at home, but even considering them would be in violation of my #1 Rule: Don't even think about it if your significant other knows them.
Anyways, enough with the serious stuff. Here's a picture for your amusement:


(For the record, I do know it up to 3.1415926, although I did have one friend that knew 15 digits... and another who knew to 23 digits...)

So long, farewell, and everything else. I'll post again eventually.
