I'm off to Belgium, France and Germany this week, all expenses paid.

I may take some pictures.

Lucky bastard.

He's not that lucky - he has to go to France.

What's wrong with France?

Its France.

France is full of frogs.  It is the Tennessee of Europe, but they probably have a few more teeth.

So apart from being extremely beautiful...?

If it's just the French that's a problem- who cares? Obnoxious people are everywhere.

I care.

So it really is just the people then? That's silly, GayGay.

Rooster is correct.  Things like landscapes and history are of far more importance when judging a country's worth than its inhabitants.

Than it's inhabitants, yes. But not things like laws and policies. I mean damn, I live surrounded by conservative christian rednecks and meth heads. You learn to ignore the trash.

Don't be a Thork.

Living in the bible belt is fun isn't it?  The people may not be the only judge of the area, but they will surely leave a bad taste in your mouth with horrible interactions.  I'm sure that once you get away from Paris, France is quite the amazing place.

Honestly, I've gotten used to everything in the bible belt so it's not such a terrible place. Although I'll never get used to seeing fat women in tiny shorts and big cowboy boots walking around with their flab and cellulite shamelessy jiggling and rippling with every step. ew
But anyway, France seems lovely.

Western Europe is middle tier. I can imagine after the new factor wears off, you'll realize that the houses are old and creaky and the plumbing seems as though it hasn't been updated since the early 1900s. You'll find, in France at least, that everything is about 15% more expensive and there are Muslims all around selling knockoff sports equipment for full price. Make sure you wear your wallet around your neck because stealing from tourists is how Frenchmen pay for their dinner. If you go to the UK, make sure to pack yourself enough lunches for the duration of the visit. I can't think of anything bad about Germany, so you should make that your one and only stop.

So the Jews died for nothing.

The most recent research suggests that nothing happened to the Jews in Germany.

Iran has acknowledged this.  It is true. 

Well Thork? Any word?

Well Thork? Any word?

I e-mailed them late on Monday night to ask what the deuce?

I got the following response

Thork,

Thanks for your message.  You are certainly a fantastic candidate.  Please
book your trip to Barcelona and we will be in better position to give you
an update soon.  It will not be the end of the world to have you come to
****** after you finish in Barcelona if we need you to come to ******
as a finalist.

And I was like "ok, will do thanks",

and he said

Thanks for your understanding.  We apologize that we are not as nimble as we'd like to be with these decisions and are awaiting timing of next steps
from our superiors.

So basically they still haven't made up their mind. The waiting continues.

I feel bad for ye.

'Mon Thork!

Also hi, I've just got back from Iceland.

Did you have an ice trip?

And you have the nerve to complain about my jokes.

I found multiple proofs of FET.

My workplace gave me a 50$ Amazon giftcard and called me out for being one of the fastest learners on the account and for going beyond what I was hired to do. Whereas I thought I was constantly drowning under how complicated things were and just felt dumb the guy I work with closely said I was doing senior level work.

I'm also in the running for the free fancy dinner perk that 10 data and 10 sales people will go on. I'm the newest hire getting these recognitions (beating out the other 2 guys that I was hired with).

Makes me feel all proud and junk.

YEAAHH rooster!

Grats on being a good member of society

Keep up the good work, rooster.  No more cleaning other people's houses for you.   

Yay rooster kicking ass!

Keep up the good work, rooster.  No more cleaning other people's houses for you.   

ahaha yes, let's hope that's true.

Thanks guys. I am a productive member of society. :3

Huzzah for rooster!

Jolly good!

France, Germany and Belgium was good. I ate far too much bread and cheese.
