Got up this mornin' and decided to get away from the cpmputer and all the other business dealings today. Went for a walk; 10 -12 kilometers of it. Ended up and my friends shop. he had the tanks off his scoot and was tearin' it down. About four hours, and only one beer, later we've got her down to bare frame ready for cleaning and powder coat.
I'm filthy dirty with black greasy hands, shirt, pants and, I imagine, face. Fuckin loved every minute of it. First wrench turnin' I've done in a coons age. First complete Soft Tail I've ever done. Hogs are still simple as pie.

Not a bad idea.

I was up until 2am fekkin' about trying to install a gallery on my website (thanks Xzyte) and then I tried to incorporate it into my blog without much success (Xzyte! Help!). I think I'm going to stick with nice, simple HTML sites. Easy as pie.

Today I was at a hostess bar at lunchtime taking photos of girls for a website project of mine. I wanted to get away from the usual crappy photos that most bars have on their sites, but I'm not a pro photographer, so I'm not sure if they turned out good or not - I guess I'll wait and see what the customer thinks.

**dirtydog** · 01-03-2006, 11:18 PM

are these like open spread legs shots? obviously if they are dont post them here and just pm them to me

**Marmite the Dog** · 02-03-2006, 12:29 AM

No Doggy - they were quite boring, tasteful shots.

**Marmite the Dog** · 02-03-2006, 01:29 AM

OK - The site is up & running now. I've just got to wait and see what changes the customer wants.

And yes, the girls ain't all that, but that's not my problem.

Looks nice, man. Good job. Wish I could get a gig like that. Seems everyone up here wants work for free.

**Marmite the Dog** · 02-03-2006, 01:42 AM

Thanks FF .

The work is few and far between. Its just a bit of pin money really and all the work I've done is for friends, so I don't charge too much anyway.

Ok - night all.

**DrAndy** · 02-03-2006, 10:53 AM

well, today is a nice day, the sun is bright and the mountains are so clear you could almost step on them. If you had 50 league legs, that is

smoked salmon sandwich for lunch, but I couldn't wait so ate it for elevenses, so all I have left is an apple

the office is quiet, relatively, no meetings or stuff like that, no visits to make, no office politics to avoid, easy day

an urgent message from Chiang Mai, to call someone or other. if it is urgent from there, I had better answer it this week.

booked up a nice weekend on a beach for the 11/12th, try to get a bit of snorkelling in. also some whitewater rafting a couple of weeks later with a group of friends, should be fun - half of them have never done any, and the water is high and fast.

looking forward to this evening, dinner at a bistroish sort of place, real French owner who cares about his food a lot.

no real work at all, nice I suppose until they start screaming about some mistake someone has made

**Goddess of Whatever** · 02-03-2006, 09:13 PM

I woke up at 6 am to iron my nice dress and took a shower, washed hair and tried so hard to make myself look good.

After that, I called my boss and said I was sick, I can't even get out of my bed and asked him for a day off.

He said yes! Yippie!!!

Then I started my car and drove to Chacheongsao for interview at Microchip. I got there at 8:10 am (left here at 7:00). It's too early but I think it's good for me because I got more time for a test.

The first test was English grammar hmm.. grammar, grammar and grammar

it's ok for me, I got over it. The next was electronics test

c'mon man.. that's 3-4 years ago! I've never worked about what I studied!!! but it's just basic, I can do it a little, not so bad.

11:00 am, the interview got started. Just talking about my life and others. Then he told me to wait, so that meant I passed the first interview! phhheewwww...

1:00 pm, the second one! This time talked about my experience at work, what I have learnt, what I studied and answered his silly question (something that will not happen but he wanted me to imagine yeah.. great!). He also asked me to compare about working and match.

What da heck! but he was happy with my answer which I thought it was stupid really!

He asked me about English then we started to have English conversation then he said ok ok .. back to Thai hahahaha.. then he looked at my TOEIC score and said "wow! that's a lot more than mine" but my bloke said it should do better than that.

Then he asked me to wait because he wanted to ask the director to talk to me but he's busy

then he told me to go home and he will call me again later next week for the THIRD interview. Hmmm... how many interviews do I have to pass????

Ohhh.. there's some interesting story to tell you guys too. I talked with a guy who went there for interview also. He told me that he worked for Sony in Ayuttaya, I said it's good and asked him why he wanted to leave. He said Sony in Ayuttaya was going die!! A few production lines stopped and lay out workers. TVs can't sell much, stereos not so good, everything is getting worse and Sony is trying to be a business partner with Samsung. Ohhh dear.. I think I will give a miss interview at Sony on the next Wednesday.

**ChiangMai noon** · 03-03-2006, 10:14 AM

Nice story GOW.
Good luck with the next interview.
Will you have to lie about being sick yet again??

**Goddess of Whatever** · 03-03-2006, 10:43 AM

errrrr... yes..

Today, my boss said I should eat a lot more because I was too thin.

I think I'm alright but that's just because he thought I was sick.

**danbo** · 04-03-2006, 05:14 PM

Good luck GoW - Interviews are terrible. The best laid plans of mice and (wo)men go awry under the pressure. Mice especially, bloody hopeless at interviews mice are....Except for interviews for jobs running around mazes looking for food and avoiding electric shocks. Don't even bother going for one of these jobs if you see it advertised; a mouse is sure to have got it by the time you turn up.....There must be special mice schools where they teach this stuff.

I'm going flat hunting tomorrow.....I don't mean in an Ernest Hemingway sneaking up on them through the undergrowth kind of way.....That would be too easy - you wouldn't even need to sneak up on them, just Google their postcode and turn up - Where's the fun or challenge in that....No wonder they're becoming an endangered species....It won't be too long before the only place you'll find a flat is in a zoo.......I forgot where I was going with this.......

**Fabian** · 05-03-2006, 07:44 PM

Today there are three isaan women in my kitchen preparing such nice dishes like tom yum tin gai, Som tam and baby shrimp salad (don't know the thai word for that).

Thank you.
They all agree that it would be better if the shrimp babies were still alive instead of frozen.

**Goddess of Whatever** · 05-03-2006, 08:35 PM

Ohh.. the baby shrimps were alive? That must be "Kung Tent", I reckon.

**Fabian** · 05-03-2006, 08:42 PM

No, they were not alive because you cannot get them alive here in Germany but only deep frozen, but in Thailand tehy always prefer them alive as I have seen a few times.

Looking at the smiley you used I assume you don't share that taste.

**danbo** · 05-03-2006, 09:54 PM

Well, the flat hunting was a waste of time; all of the estate agents were closed. Saw an advert in a newsagent window that just had a phone number and simply said, 'A big HELLO - Sandra'.....I thought, that's nice, there's not enough friendly people in the world. I might give her a ring later just to say hello.

**danbo** · 06-03-2006, 02:39 AM

I gave Sandra a ring and she wasn't all that friendly. I think I caught her in the middle of an aerobics class.

**danbo** · 06-03-2006, 03:13 AM

I'm off to bed and it's only just gone 8 o'clock......Bit sad really, but I can get away with it because you all think it's really 3 am when I'm posting this. As long as I don't let on that I'm posting from the UK and it's only 8 o'clock here then I'll get away with it - smart eh?

**hirondelle** · 06-03-2006, 09:31 AM

wow Danbo! posting this at 3 am!!! you are so cool and must have a super exciting life!!

*snuggles*

**ChiangMai noon** · 06-03-2006, 09:42 AM

^
Not quite so rock and roll if you are posting from england at 8.00 pm though.

**DrAndy** · 06-03-2006, 09:49 AM

posting from bed with Sandra takes some doing though

**ChiangMai noon** · 06-03-2006, 09:52 AM

Back on topic.
Yesterday I bough a big blue motorbike that goes really fast.
It's a 400cc Honda CBR.

Will be picking it up on Wednesday and I'm as excited as an excitable hamster.
Tonight I shall silence the yanks with the perfect chilli.
