Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: QM - The 80's

It is time to go home. Or, rather, in a homeward direction. I have stops to make before I get there.

TTFN.

Re: QM - The 80's

I can only agree with what the others said Libra
Don´t take a job that will supposably make you unhappy if you have a choice.
It might be better paid but that isnt everything.
Also you might spend more money on shoping and choc when you´re unhappy ;-)

Re: QM - The 80's

Finally made it to the medieval dance group yesterday - fun. There was even one dance we already knew from Castlefest, so there was less of the embarrassing stumbling-around.

I think we've just proven that our greatest power is silliness!

Re: QM - The 80's

I has pain..... tried to help my dad out at the house today.... some glass thingy for a lamp was stuck in the lamp and I got it out, but while I got it out it broke.... and before I knew it I was bleeding all over the floor and myself.... had to keep the thumb over my head for half an hour to stop the bleeding.... no fun.... That's what you get for helping out.... blah....

You're all so right.... but the thing is that this company does exactly what I need a company to do, they're all into the green thing... durable materials, durable building ways, innovative decisions.... and they say (I know...it's just words) that they like seeing people grow and that that's why this position is open in the first place, because they promoted someone..... It's much closer to home, and I keep the same salary (so no more paying for my fuel like now). And it would probably give me the possibility to do more fun stuff during my evenings....
It's just so confusing....

Well, they've invited me to roll along one day.... I'll be working in that team, doing what the function states.... I'll make my decision afterwards...
