I need to share my joy! (aka the Happy Thread)

[5FDP]

I achieved what I thought would be impossible, run for 6.5km in 1 session. And I feel GOOD!!!

Good stuff SkyWarp!

I've started walking about 4 km's per day and given up smoking after 12 yrs. It's been almost 2 weeks without one and I feel great. No cravings at all.

Well done on the walking dude as that will get your heart going quite well but an even bigger congratulations on your quitting of Smoking! :D
Once one gets past the cravings, it really does get easier and easier and your right about feeling better - Less coughing, less laboured breathing and a feeling of more energy! :cool:

Keep up your strong efforts dude, every day is a step in a better direction. ;)

Thanks guys :) Today is my 2 week anniversary and no cravings to speak of. It's actually been easier than I imagined.

I ordered a pair of Adidas Supernova Glide 3 (http://www.wiggle.co.uk/adidas-supernova-glide-3-shoes/). This site is great. Most of their deals are about half of what you'd expect to pay at retail.

I quit last year after 12 years of smoking to, it was the biggest pain in the ass but i'm glad I did it

[Hursticon]

I too found it to be quite easy once you're able to get passed the mental barrier, the physical addiction sucks for a bit but if you can get your mind to break free of the habit - The physical is a push over. ;)

Ah, yeah for me it was 9 years but I too am glad that I did quit. :)
A much better choice for the long run but i feel lucky honestly because I've met people who've been trying to quit over a 20 year period and never successfully manage to. :o

Haven't posted in awhile since I have been insanely busy (and Ultra Magnus has disappeared off the face of the earth)...

... I heard from a shop-owner the other day about how there are these string of shops that have the 7 G1 TFs I need from my signature in Osaka...

... told my wife...

... and 2 days later, she tells me that she has booked me a flight (business class!) and a hotel smack in the middle of the toy shopping district in Osaka, for this weekend... :D:D:D

... she said, 'go get 'em!'

I don't say it enough - my wife is a fantastic girl!

Woot, finally have our wedding date set in stone. Been tentative for a while, but now that we have booked and paid for our reception venue, it's now set.

Oh and a cool thing we have bought for our wedding toast (and only used on each anniversary) is this pair of Dragon glasses (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250729977980&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT). Fiance saw and fell in love with them, so we scoured the web to find them, and found them on Ebay US. Pretty neato I reckon. (anyone who knows us or been to our house would know we love dragons/skulls/mythical stuff :D)

The date has ticked over to my birthday month, and the Official OTCA 2011 calendar has my favourite G1 character on display! :D:D:D

I'd be ecstatic if it wasn't for the fact that I feel like I've been run over by a steamroller lol. I got a stomach bug that makes me feel like puking when I try eat something, but I have to eat dammit lol. Maybe I should vent about it :p

Thanks KS! It is Australian Public Service Level 4.

I have been working at that level for a while now, and work decided that I needed some much deserved recognition for it.

In the form of MONEY!! (plus added responsibilities *sigh*)

I got a raise! Yay! :)
I had one shift this week. Boo! :mad:

[heroic_decepticon]

About AU$875.

I consider that I good price for this piece, in the great unused condition it's in, given the prices that even the Japanese as asking for nowadays. :D

Today, I got an email from Eric Holmes, the writer of Megatron Origin (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megatron_Origin).

He basically commended my blog-site as a good resource and said that he enjoyed my analysis of the Megatron Origin storyline and was glad that I picked up so many of the G1-references that he put in there.

Really, really made my day. My wife is very happy that my site has (amongst other things) facilitated such a connection with the TF community.

I am thinking of taking this opportunity to ask him about Megatron Origin and some of the things I was not very clear on and what he would have done, why he did certain things, etc. Are there any things any one feels should be asked? (not guaranteeing an answer, but since he started a conversation, I'd really like to know more!).

BotCon was a lot of fun! Great way to finish the US part of my trip: an overdose of TransFandom. Enjoyed getting to know more people and sharing the weekend with them all. Didn't spend too much but did have to post three packages home as I managed to get 18 items from my list of things I wanted to get on this trip. :D

Now to catch up on sleep on the flight to London.

[Zippo]

I am SO SO SO HAPPY right now.
Received a call from the Operational Support manager just after 7.30. Accepting my resignation, no need to come in as planned tomorrow (Wednesday) as they will pay me out until the 1st July.

What he said next made me so happy - in the resignation I mentioned I could no longer work in a place that allowed harassment and bullying - they conducted the investigation by asking my manager and they accepted his answer.

So glad I am finally out ...
2 weeks until I am unemployed and broke ..

Anyone got some job leads? (Yes I am considering moving to AU)
Until then I have plenty of action figures and Transformers to sell :D

[Prowl]

There is heaps of jobs out there depending on what you do (at least in Sydney & Melbourne). Sounds like you had a lucky escape to me & you will be better served with another company.

Good luck with the hunt for a new job but I am sure you will find the right one.

I have the final interview for my (hopefully) new job tomorrow. A 3 hour interview/assesment & having to give a presentation to a board is a bit daunting.

Prowl is right, if you want jobs - go to Sydney/Melbourne. Adelaide is a deadbeat zone for jobs.

[5FDP]

Good luck with your job hunting Zippo!

On this point, don't do anything you might end up regretting. Jobs are just a means to an end. Without an end, they are meaningless.

Congratulations!

On this point, don't do anything you might end up regretting. Jobs are just a means to an end. Without an end, they are meaningless.

Booking a hotel in Brisbane for just over 1/2 the cost .. I was about to book it yesterday but got lazy and now I am so glad I waited.

*Yes, I am unemployed, but the majority of the trip was paid for last year - I just needed to pay for 3 nights in Brisbane and had been putting it off for quite some time. Spending money though - now there is a problem.

[GoktimusPrime]

I hit the 1500 mark with my Transformers collection with Jetwing Optimus Prime being my 1500th. Still pretty stoked about that. :)

Also today's my birthday and I got to spend it with my family by taking our daughter out to this event which encourages kids to read (and encourages parents to read to their kids) -- they had songs, music, magic tricks, petting zoo, sausage sizzle... I thought I'd be bored, but I just had too much fun spending time with my protoform today. One of my best birthdays ever. :D Sure beats the time when I ended up being 'homeless' in Tokyo on my birthday... that kinda sucked :p

Congratulations Goki - Both on the fact that you've reached a collection of 1500 figures, as that's insane, but also as you happen to share the same Birth date as my Father which is both concerning and answers a number of questions. :p:D

All engines are bloody heavy when you're trying to hold them up whilst laying flat on your back underneath the vehicle and you've only got the bloody thing propped up on ramps and wheel stands and the Engine is only supported by a Block and Tackle. :p:D

I whole heartedly agree that nothing beats the sound and feeling of a Naturally Aspirated V8 engine - After an 8 grand rebuild though Loopy, that thing is bound to be a beauty! ;):cool:

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

So, today I had a Job Network appointment. They want - as in are demanding - that I attend 2 weeks Intensive Job Training for 4 hours every day, where I will presumably learn all sort of useful things like not to swear at the receptionist when you go for job interviews and how to write resumes ('cos with my multiple uni degrees, one in communications, and my small-business-owner parents growing up I wouldn't know that stuff, and would have forgotten it from all the previous IJT sessions), starting next Monday.
In the meantime I fly out to start my new job as an assistant language teacher in Izumi city, Osaka, next Saturday, and so need to spend next week moving to stay with my sister in Butler, picking up a heap of Yen, my Visa, my ticket etc in Perth, closing down my AU bank accounts, and thoroughly washing all my clothes after living in a run-down dive with a pair of daily pot-smokers (I don't partake of it myself) for the past few months, before I head through four different major airports. I told the morons at [Retards-R-Us]* Employment Mirrabooka all of this but if I don't attend it anyway my Newstart allowance will be cut off and a noncompliance notice lodged against me - you're allowed up to three a year before you get cut off, though it might be as little as one these days, I don't know. They last for one year.
So, why is this in the Joy thread?

Because I lodge my last Newstart form for at least the next few years, and hopefully forever, on this Friday.:D

Less than two weeks and no more crippling poverty and no more dealing with bloody Centrelink for years! Sure, book me in for the next two weeks, dumkopf! Hell, book me in for all day every day for the next month! I look forward to never ever seeing you again, enjoy your soul-destroying pen-pushing bureacratic wankfest job while I'm off doing the job of my dreams!:p
God I hope they call me to demand to know why I haven't shown up on Monday...I'll laugh so hard I'll have even more washing to do.

Apologies to anyone here stuck behind the desk in the system btw, I know it's not your fault and it's just the system etc etc, but it's all so petty and stupid and soon I'll be free, FREE!:D


*Name changed for accuracy, and because as indicated above I do appreciate they're just pawns in all of this.

Yay I got the job! Three shifts already, and I get paid on Thursday! :D
It's a company run store, rather than a franchise, which I hope means I actually have a job where I don't have to ASK TO BE PAID every week. :rolleyes:

I got my dream job today (for my current situation)!! Very happy about it, albeit unexpected. Big opportunity for me, is part-time and is also course-related!! This will accel me big time once I graduate. :D

The only downside is... it is incredibly stressful and I have no doubt I will be berated by the boss...(nature of the field).

At least ill be able to buy more TFs :D:D:D

Some just very high expectations. I know an honor student who had 96 and most of the colleagues had 99 and just devastated about it.

It just depend on background, family history, school, etc.

I never heard of being a "C" student is good enough until I came here. Normally you are aspiring for "A" grades.

I can relate... as that has happened to me (missing out barely on HDs), but there have been more times I was disappointed for missing out 1 or 2 marks from Ds :(

[jazzcomp]

...And I'd have to say that I think most just strive to do their best if they care to.
For me, if I ever really want something - I'll strive for it, but I've never placed unrealistic expectations on myself - Kidding yourself is only going to lead to a worse outcome.
(My exact approach towards women and why I'm still... single )
If you gave it your best, then that's fine. :)

On the women issue, that's a bit of more a complex situation than comparing to studies :D. There's no correlation.

Coming from a third world country, we strive to do good in school and have a chance at getting in one of the better universities (maybe even a scholarship). It increases the chances of getting a good job after you finish and get your degree.

Graduates are everywhere but why would an employer choose you out of thousands of more applicants fresh from school. Or at least that's the mindset of parents. :) If you are after a white collar job.

Now if you want to be a farmer, mechanic, athlete, others - then being the best in school probably won't matter.

Was invited to play in a proper mens 5 a side team with people that play for actual football clubs. We're losing 0-1, our captain the tactical genius says "Sharky, you're on up front".

First shot, blocked by a hand, won us a penalty. 1-1

Ten minutes from time, holding off two defenders I volley it into the bottom corner on the slide. 2-1.

Game ends, I am hero.

Looks like I will have a collection room very soon. The offer I made on an apartment was accepted. :D

Congrats Paulbot,
Mrs UltraMarginal and myself managed to score ourselves a new Mortgage at Auction just this last Thursday night.
Nice 3 bedroom apartment in Marsfield. travel to work will be a bit for us both but it's a really nice apartment and area.

I think she'll be nesting pretty hard soon...

@sharky, that is one kickarse kitchen. looks like it's finally starting to come together!!

How much? How was the bidding experience?
First time I watched bidding, the first bid won.
2nd/last time, it was starting and it was over my budget already so I left. :(

Would you believe the wife to be jokes it's not big enough... I am starting to believe her. But she loves to cook and entertain friends and it is what she wanted. I think it looks huge. Should have the keys in about 4 weeks. Not long at all now!!

Enough to complete several very nice collections... several times.:o
the biddiing iexperience was OK, there was only one other bidder and she didn't really seem to know what she was doing. the agents were in her ear a lot and I feel that if she had stuck to her guns we might have saved $10 - $15 K but I still think we paid a resonable price, not a bargain but it's our mortgage now so a few grand here or there doesn't matter.

It may not ever be "big enough" that's like saying you don't have enough transformers yet :p but it will be a great kitchen for preparing all sorts of awesome food. I too love to cook, which is why it stood out to me.:cool:

Well done. I lost every auction I bid at (even though I went over my limit each time). Was so happy to be able to make an offer at private sale and have it accepted. I don't even like ebay auctions.

How much is strata? :) My partner doesn't want to pay for strata but homes in that area are super expensive.

What's reasonable in that area for a 3 or 4 bedroom? :)

Just completed reading US Marvel G1 Issue #80 and the IDW Beast Wars TPB; I feel both thoroughly entertained and enlightened! :D
Really, really dug the Beast Wars stuff but equally as much with the Marvel G1 stuff and subsequently, am very much looking forward to the UK Marvel stories! ;):cool:

[griffin]

Makes you just want to read more doesn't it? (with both)

Furman may have once said 'it never ends', but I wish th0se two stories didn't come to an end. (and I don't think #81 will follow what Furman originally had planned, so it feels more like a semi-reboot to me)


I'm so happy about getting my replacement Beast Machines DVDs yesterday, as it means I *finally* have all the released Western TFs cartoons on DVD (after my years tracking down the RiD DVDs finally ended this month too). Just about finished watching all the RiD episodes, and have the urge to watch Beast Machines again. :D

[Hursticon]

Oh bloody oath yeah! :D:o
At least there is the US G2 stuff I can go on with, I just need to get the HC version of Rage in Heaven, as well as the UK stuff; just as soon as I finish paying Jimoinj off. ;):cool:

What's disappointing though is that apart from the Dawn of Futures Past comic, that's it for Beast Wars. :(

Hmm, that's a fair point as I would agree that with time he probably has reconsidered it's direction; whether this is for better or for worse?, guess we'll have to wait and see. :o
I do wonder which writing approach he'll employ with it though?; the modern way or the old fashioned way?

Since he won't be bound by Hasbro's toy release schedule, it allows him to radically change the direction of the story, from the Nucleon-Last Autobot-Return to Earth storyarc he was deep into at the time (which I wanted to see played out, to see where he was originally taking it).

I guess at the time the Gen1 comic ended, we were already at the end of the Gen1 toyline, so I'm not sure what new toys/characters he would have started introducing after Hasbro were done releasing Micromasters & Actionmasters.

That's a very good point, the fact that it was tied to the toy line release schedule, as I had completely overlooked that so I suppose that he could go one of 2 ways:

Introduce new characters from the Japanese G1 cast.
Go back and fill in or correct various plot holes or unexplained/elaborated cast members.

...Or, he could combine both options; however one wants to think about it, it's really going to be interesting and exciting to see just what exactly he is going to do huh? :cool:

I haven't seen a good horror movie since Steven King's It and Pet Cemetary... I liked the ads for PA3 enough to want to go see it too. But want to see the first two first, just in case it is necessary.

Oh man, how much of a classic is Pet Cemetary! Judd is an absolute legend, one of my favourite horror characters for sure. :D

I can't believe you haven't seen the other two PA movies Griffin! :eek: Despite PA3 being a prequel to the previous two movies, I highly recommend watching the movies in order. To do otherwise would totally destroy the mystery and dampen the scare factor (which is amplified considerably in this latest installment). If you like this series you simply must check out the Spanish films Rec and Rec 2, they are equally amazing (and even more terrifying, especially the sequel).
