It's 8 pm, or 20.00, as we put it. Windy. I was boooored on a Friday night, and so I made this thread. Have been looking into the 'revisit 1918'-thread while waiting for someone to chit-chat with. And how are you tonight?

That looks just lovely.

 

 

So lovely of you both to come over and say hi

[Yuma, Johnny]

I'm doing awesome. It is a Friday and my comments are being moderated... so you'll see my reply on Saturday sometime..

 

 

Just a joke... Mods are awesome.

Friday nights are the best. No more work till Monday!

[Tronora]

My awesome Friday night will now be spent on Netflix. There's an Italian inspector, Montalbano, that is going to solve yet another murder. Justice will be done

 

Or maybe I'll end up watching something completely different.

Hello from Washington State, USA.  Still at work, so I'm hoping for a boring Friday.  We have a brother who's Norwegian, who ironically lives 3 houses down from where I work.  Thanks to him, I really want to go to Norway.  And because of his accent, he got away with soooooo much going when we were going door to door.  He even told a husband whose wife was ordering her to close the door on us, "You gonna let her tell you what to do?".   If that were us, we'd probably get punched.   John Drageland is his name.

  Norwegians can be a bit blunt. I don't know him. His last name means Dragonland. Fun fact: My former brother-in-law called me Dragontooth because I was ... eh, direct  (by Norwegian standard)

 

I hope that doesn't deter you from coming over

Well, how about the ones that offered subprime mortgages? And was busy with the credit default swap?

I know ... water under the bridge ... still shocking what white-collars can get away with.

 

Oh, I LOOOOOOOONG for God's kingdom to come!

 

Sorry for being much too serious for Friday night.

I literally just got an email that I now have to attend Lundberge Office Space style corporate meetings ever since I got this new "position"(more responsibility, same pay).  So, I'm white collar now???....hmmmmm....

Hello again!

Waiting for my meeting to start. 1700 CET (5 pm)

Is there a better way to write 1700 CET? 17.00? It feels not good to write 5 pm, because 5 is veeeery early in the morning. Yes, AM. I know.

 

In Norwegian, we say "klokka fem" = five o'clock. Wether it's morning or afternoon. But in writing, it's kl 17, if it's five in the afternoon. I miss a prefix in English.

 

Anyway, logging in to my meeting now

[Tronora]

Meeting over ...

 

Now, for some music.  Wonder if this works?

Looks like it

Sorry Tronora. North America doesn’t use military hours. Took me a few weeks to adjust. 😅

I worked shift work and we used military time. It took me a long time to stop using it..🤣

Makes way more sense too. 😉

It Super Bowl Sunday. My Dad gave a talk out at another congregation. And now my family is about to come over to watch the Super Bowl. I volunteered to work at my movie theater today, we are showing it as well (I am not really interested in Football 🏈). 

[Tronora]

Hello again!

 

Just finished my WT study for tomorrow's meeting.

For dinner: Pasta.

And then ... work on my podcast? I am a bit

 

I think food will help. Let's try that.

[Tronora]

@Tortuga 

 

Pasta didn't help.

 

Sunday is an excellent day for service. Just finished.

 

Soon meeting. Think I'll hold off on the pasta 'till after ...

That's a good idea. A heavy meal might make you sleepy...
