I thought this would be a good way for people to get a better idea about each other. Especially some of the new people.

Travelling, Surfing/Bodyboarding, Astrophysics, computers, PC games, electronics, camping, photography, sex, movies, Martial Arts, wasting time on THGC.

That's a start at least.

THGC (which is an expression of frustration with my present existence), golf, Formula 1, astrophysics, my wife and family. Also I like to be alone with my thoughts as often as possible.

I really like to do nothing.
I don't enjoy work because I am restricted and unchallenged.
I would say tinkering with computer hardware is my hobby.
Although if I lived in a home that I owned I would spend a lot less time using my computer and browsing the Internet.
Right now I live in an apartment. If I lived in my own home I would spend more time working on my cars and hanging out in my garage. Plus working on the yard. All that would take time away from the computer hobby.

My wife and I talked about that all weekend. We're thoroughly depressed about staying here, so next week I'm going to ask my boss for a transfer. There's too much crap piling up here.

I enjoy mountain biking, golf, watching football (AKA Soccer, in the US), cinema, selective PC games, listening to music,wasting an awful lot of time on THGC when I should be doing work.

I hate Ireland, I always have.

I'm really not enjoying my job, and the organisation is very constraining. Basically, I love working with people, and management consulting is really all about process. I'm bloody miserable and losing confidence in myself.

Also, I'm not getting on with another person at work, who is making my life miserable and sooner or later I think I'll get the chop. So my inclination is to leave on my terms as soon as I possibly can. But if I'm going to change job, then I want to change geography too.

Well the last three jobs I have had I have had to pack up and relocate. They were all in Ontario but the last move was over 400km. Each were with three different companies and I had to pay the moving expenses.
It's too bad you don't like where you live.
It was bad enough moving around the same Province. I can't imagine what it's like moving around the world. It would be too stressful for me.

It's an American women who's giving me grief. Typical corporate power broker, and she's black too, so they treat her with kid gloves. She's a partner with the firm, so I've got no chance. I must admit I find women more difficult to deal with in business.

Do what you have to do and get out of that situation ASAP.

So, basically, she can shaft you whenever she wants and of course they'll beleive her over you. What a bitch. Women are more difficult to work with. My boss is a woman and she's focking useless, and regularly shafts me on issues, and I've gone up the wall about it. Usually she sides 100% against my engineers. I back my engineers every time, regardless of who's at fault. That way, if there's any criticism to be done, I do it, no one else.

Book those tickets mate. 1 way only.

One of my old hobbies was target shooting with my .22 cal Remington.

Jeez, I had an old .22 remington too. Used to target shoot and go out in the early morning after rabbits and crows. It really brought myself and my dad together after some difficult teenage years.

Thanks Rob, you've described the situation exactly. I really don't think I can win this one.

As soon as I possibly can, I'm on my way. And will be delighted to purchase dodgy software in Asia for my friends at THGC. All the new games cost about $2 each.

At least you're one step ahead of her in recognising she's got the knives out for you. And when you get a new job/transfer, you can really piss her off by being all cheerful and upbeat about everything.

All the time, you're thinking of those luscious Thai girls just a short plane ride away, having told your wife it's a component shopping trip.

And that's you're new hobby, collecting old, rare components. So we've stayed on topic as well.

Mind, I've heard that some of those Thai girls will barter quite fiercely over the prices. Some are demanding that they give you at least 3 BJ's. Tsk-tsk, the prices we pay....

Computers of course, video games (consoles and PC), movies, drawing (I think I made myself quite vocal about it, it's my way of self-expression. Ask anytime if ya want to see some you missed out on), doing stuff with buddies.

Of course, THGC posting!

PS: Right now I'm in the middle of buying old SNES games on catridge, to feel the authentic classic gaming once more. All games have been played several times btw. I do use the emulator as well, but I was a real feel, and I've won 2 online bids on Ebay for SNES games which should arrive this week or next. Some find that nutty, but I like reliving my past.

Exactly phial. I started off playing modern stuff, but found it to be all the same boring stuff after a while. That's when I went to classic rock and then more bluesy stuff. It's just amazing stuff, and I've developed even more of an appreciation of it cause I play.
