Hey ZQn! It's been a long time. What have you been up to?

Got a science degree, didn't like lab work, went into law instead, now I run my own environmental law research practice. I don't make much money at it, but I love what I do, and I've proven wrong all the people who insisted that I would have to cut my hair and wear a tie in order to hold down a "real" job.

How about yourself? I have fond memories of our old ICQ chats about theology.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun May 31, 2015 1:20 am

Not cutting hair or wearing ties is the best.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun May 31, 2015 1:24 am

Also got a science degree. Didn't care for the research work. Now I'm working at the crossroads of science and law .... patent examination.

I know, but at least it pays.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun May 31, 2015 1:27 am

But do you have to wear a tie?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun May 31, 2015 1:28 am

No. No, I do not.

I usually wear a tie if an attorney comes for an in-person (rather than telephone) interview, which has happened exactly twice in my 2.75 years of working there.

Well, then, celebratory tea for all!

Hooray!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun May 31, 2015 2:04 am

Well, Yuka never posted. I mean, I put odds against her posting, but still would have been nice.

Did you build that statue?

Alternate question: Is that a screenshot of SGRPG?

I'm wondering how the word spread about this outside IRC. Was it all Damien or did most of you extend your tendrils to reach out to people?

TheStrife · Post by **TheStrife** » Sun May 31, 2015 2:26 am

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun May 31, 2015 2:27 am

I think it was pretty much all Damien from conception to execution. He did a good job. It was pretty successful I think.

What? You two are together right now? Awesome!

I read that differently at first and thought, "Took them long enough."

I was sent an email about the anniversary by modbot ghost!

Have a nice day

I have been a poor participant of SG Day. Hope it's been fun!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun May 31, 2015 3:08 am

Yes, you have! Yes, it has!

You guys did the smart thing...I got science degrees and went into research...kind of wish I hadn't set so far down that road

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun May 31, 2015 3:30 am

I wish I had done the smart thing sooner. I spent 8 years on a doctorate I didn't really want in the end.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sun May 31, 2015 3:32 am

There might be a way out of it? Entr0pi3 might have something to say on the matter but she probably doesn't even know it's SG Day

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sun May 31, 2015 3:39 am

I'll be joining the science-but-prolly-not-use-it club this summer.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun May 31, 2015 3:39 am

Yeah, what the heck? How could you not even get your sister to post today, Calbrena? Bad form!

Not that I got my sister to post either, but I don't even think she ever registered for this version of SG, so it's not the same.

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Sun May 31, 2015 3:46 am

Why is SG so slow, Damian? Is it an attempt to maximize nostalgia and emulate 56k?

Doom: Sally told me about it on Steam!

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sun May 31, 2015 3:47 am

Damien probably sees my sister more often than I do and he lives in the same time zone as her, would have been much easier for him to contact her

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Sun May 31, 2015 3:49 am

Cal you're still in Singapore? No UK?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun May 31, 2015 3:52 am

What the heck Damien, you live in the same zip code and you couldn't walk over to her house and make her post?

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Sun May 31, 2015 3:54 am

Wow, Last One, The Strife, Reiji, all these people whose names I haven't seen in a long time! I'm old!

Last One · Post by **Last One** » Sun May 31, 2015 4:01 am

Add me to the group with a degree and don't use it (fine arts). Then again, who use such degree?

Have a nice day

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun May 31, 2015 4:06 am

Well, SG Day is now over in this time zone. How many posters are in time zones where it's still SG Day for a bit?

Last One · Post by **Last One** » Sun May 31, 2015 4:18 am

Arizona here! Still 3 hours to go!

Have a nice day

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun May 31, 2015 4:20 am

I guess you really will be the Last One to have SG Day!

Been in Singapore for nearly 2 years now. No UK because I'm not British

Also, they've just re-elected Cameron so no way I'd consider living there within the next few years. And with current Brexit talks it's not very encouraging

@Lord Golbez, Damien lives in the same time zone as Entr0pi3 but not in the same post code, it would probably take a while if he tried walking to her place

Fine Arts teachers, artists, museum workers;etc?

Well, got my graphic design degree just when the economy tanked in 2008. All those newspaper and magazines closed down, making getting a job hard, as if it weren't hard enough

Have a nice day

5 minutes left! Goodnight!

Last One · Post by **Last One** » Sun May 31, 2015 6:04 am

One hour for me

Have a nice day

Posting while it's still SG Day in some counties

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun May 31, 2015 6:14 am

It will still be SG Day in some parts of the world for almost 5 more hours. Don't know if any SG member lives past the 1 more hour mark though....

Last One · Post by **Last One** » Sun May 31, 2015 6:16 am

I'm just glad I didn't miss it because of the convention. It came at a perfect time while waiting on those long lines!

Have a nice day

Last One · Post by **Last One** » Sun May 31, 2015 7:00 am

I guess that's it. I'm the last one. Good night and see you all next year?

Have a nice day

Abe · Post by **Abe** » Sun May 31, 2015 7:03 am

Why are we still posting, it is Sunday.

Vibing_V · Post by **Vibing_V** » Sun May 31, 2015 7:40 am

It's still SG day in Hawaii!

But not here. QQ

I guess it's time to hibernate for another 10 years!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun May 31, 2015 9:04 am

I think SG Day will return sooner than that

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun May 31, 2015 10:02 am

Still almost 2 hours left of SG day on International Date Line West time, punks.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Sun May 31, 2015 1:00 pm

It's still SG Day yesterday!
