Narps Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 TRF members have many hidden talents. Sometimes all it takes to bring them out is a silly thread. :) I could never fart with my armpits. I tried and failed many times... :sigh: I know I used to be able to do it but haven't tried in many years. One thing that always pissed me off is that I can't do the thing with my fingers that Mr. Spock does. The live long and prosper thing. I swear just about everyone I have ever known could do it when the subject arose. I never could and still can't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear just about everyone I have ever known could do it when the subject arose. I never could and still can't... I can stretch all my fingers to form right angles. And spin my arm like a windmill from the elbow. And prior to my leg deformity I could stretch my legs around my back and round my neck. I can also do the spock fingers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I've been negligent. Yesterday Sunny and Sir Lerst celebrated birthdays. :) Our TRF veteran Hilda celebrated 11 years. And hardly anyone congratulated her. :( Today, we were asked to name our bottom ten Rush songs. And, in true TRF fashion, caught hell for our individual lists. I still think it's funny that Disk98 included Hemispheres in his.

Rod in Toronto Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 In not so great news, I was let go from my job...with the current economy scenario, it´s hard to say I´m surprised. At the same time, I can´t say I´m ok with this. as time goes on, your identity is mixed up with that of the company you work for. I haven´t had a private mobile phone for over 12 years now, I always used the corporate one. For a long time, I didn´t even bother buying a computer, since I worked long hours in front of one, and was allowed to use it for internet banking and whatever personal stuff I needed to do. I am at the same time scared, excited, and confused...no idea what to do next, but I´ll take it one day at a time. First, I´ll go on a much needed vacation (see a few posts above), and in a week´s time I´ll start looking at other options. The company was kind enough to pay a relocation package, so let´s see what that brings to the table. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally understand the situation with not having a personal phone etc. It was weird having to get my own after so many years. I had a company vehicle too.

Rod in Toronto Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yeah, I´m trying to see the positive side of it...this will be a much needed boost to change things around a bit. I must admit I was planning to quit for a while, and the good thing about them taking that step is that I get a severance package. And even quitting would be tough...most of my friends work there, and a lot of them menioned today how much they admired me, how much I´ve helped, and how much I´ll be missed in the day to day. But yeah, life goes on, and I´m sure this is an important door that´s getting opened for bigger things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turned out at least in my case they turned out to just be co-workers. The majority of it is probably my fault but life just moved on and they continued to work there and I didn't. That simple. I hope you truly have friends there though... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Wish I had thought of polling Digital Man vs. The Weapon. Be that as it may, another TRF bright light did, and they are neck and neck. Will keep you posted. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 I was looking to see what the online users were doing. I often find guests reading interesting threads from long ago. But I see someone was reading my birthday thread. What were they hoping to find, I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you! I'm glad your company offered you a package so that you can regroup and move on to something better- good luck in your career journey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
