The induction is next week. Teaching starts the week after. Won't have to go every day though. One lecture on Monday and Tuesday, two on Thursday.

So ends the 5 month break :o
I want to play WOW.

Well, really, what do you expect. All those dwarfs and orcs and gnomes... it makes a dragon more lethal in the rear than in the front.

Ugh... did that dragon DIE inside... :p

Fibey told me. He posted a link with a video too. Exploding death. :p

Some people kill a boss, get themselves infected upon it's death, animal companions act as carriers- then they infected a city :D

*nods* Those dragons have good diets :D

Maybe UK IT guys are better. Or Canadian government funding just doesn't go as far as it should :D

Coming from the guy who lives on the rock in the water... Canadian IT guys are incredibly good at what they do. A lot of people working in the lab ARE british. :p

Its alot of manual labour. That is the only annoying part. Like i spent most of my day creating a spread sheet which will be used for analysis. Now its just bloody typing, but i have to do it as nobody else will. Being at the bottom of the pile sucks :(

Anyway back to work. Have to get this done by 8. Have a nice day all.

Good luck with the work CM. Hope it goes quickly :)

When did the pressure washer become lovable? *sigh* I'd tell you not to call me your little fat pixie, but it would be a waste of time :p :rolleyes:

Then how do you know more than them about their job, oh great Canadian patriotist? :D ;)

Not with British IT guys.

In the lab I work in, there are 4 of us Canadians, 3 British people, 3 Aussies, A frenchman, a chilean(best firend of mine labwise), 2 brazillians, an american (his partner, also american, was fired), 2 chinese and a japanese gentleman. The lab is large and expanisive at the moment, anbd we are moving into a larger one soon, so more people will be added. :D

Gosh, a multinational effort! :eek:
I'll do my bit to raise the standard of IT Computer-related specialists ;)

Was the one that got fired the destroyer of experiments? :p

LOL.

when you graduate come over here.

Most lab these days are based out of Canada, Britiain, or the Orient. Many of these countries (sorry, forgot Australia) have people who go around the world for labs who specialize in the area of work that they want to do. You will rarely find a lab outside of America that has people all of one nation. If you need proof, go and ask CE. she also works in a lab, and can tell you just as much as I can that you very rarely meet anyone from your own contry coming into your lab. :D
