orcishgamer: Maybe if you throw some beer or liquor into the trip it won't seem to bad trudging through the rain:)

Speaking of liquor... 1.75 liters of whiskey beckons.

orcishgamer: I pretty much turn on my XBox 360 when this happens, I'll either fire up Netflix or a stupid and easy game and know that I won't be tempted to alt-tab back to my browser (damn MS for adding a browser to my XBox 360 soon, hopefully it'll suck and I'll never use it).

Dischord: 1.75l is enough to turn you into the humblest of supplicants, as you approach the porcelain god, known as the throne, to bestow your offering of sweat, tears, and pre-bowel sustenance, that such a volume commands.

Enjoy, pace yourself, and will check the thread to see how it goes.

To be ot, am bitching about the times I've found myself in that position!

HereForTheBeer: I'm gonna bitch that the new meds are not to be taken with alcohol, dammit. Kinda missed that important note the first couple days, so oops. Guess I'm going on the wagon for a while. Bad timing, since we have some relatives coming up for a long weekend later in the week.

orcishgamer: Well, I wasn't planning on downing the bottle in one go;) Third glass, one more or so to go.

orcishgamer: Oh man, that's like a double whammy, sorry:(

ne_zavarj: ismét tele van a hócípőm az emberekkel

Balazs: Nem hinném hogy különösebben számítasz reakcióra, de... mi történt?

ne_zavarj: Ki kell engednem a hónapok alatt felgyülemlett " gőzt " . :)

AndrewC: *snip*

Balazs: Most mondanám, hogy megértelek, de mivel nem ismerem a háttértörténetet, hazudnék. Mindenesetre, ha jól esik... :)

ne_zavarj: I'm with you neighbour . We also have idiots ( aka government ) .

AndrewC: Glad to be back in Romania, oh wait, fuck not!

They make all this noise about the fact that students who went abroad for university don't come back to work in their field inside the country and that we're not patriotic despite the competitive prices in certain fields.

Oh, wait, here I am, I came back, I want to work for you guys, make a life in my own country, open a hackerspace, except you're treating me like shit!

People working in IT should be exempt from paying taxes on what they earn so that Romania will become a more important regional player in the world of IT (we already have big businesses here: IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, EA, Ubisoft, Gameloft, Freescale, Siemens, Ericcson etc.); the thing they don't tell you is that that exempt applies only to people who finished university in Romania: this in turn means that that "competitive" wage they're talking about isn't that competitive when 16% of it goes to the state and not in your pocket.

From that you also need to take out the money that goes towards healthcare (oh, wait, I'm a citizen of this country but am not insured because I was abroad for 4 years), the money that goes towards pensions, the other taxes and so on (around 30-40% of what I earn goes to the state).

So yeah, fuck you Romania and your stupid shit government, bureaucracy and idiotic rules and exceptions to rules.
