Good job RhD I haven't taken any classes in six years. My favorite exams were in the pool.
I was studying to become an Adaptive Physical Education teacher. I took American Sign Language so I could teach among the deaf culture. My favorite was teaching 5-6 year old autistic children to swim. I was heavy in the aquatics. Swimming Instructor, Lifeguard Instructor, Aqua Aerobics, and was starting classes on aqua therapy. Then I got injured and now I need the therapy

Keep up the good work

Ive worked with autistic children. Only a voluntary thing once a week. Some emotionally brutal stuff.

Never met with no parents neither which has got to be just crippling.

People who do it day in day out deserve a lot lot more.

Congrats Krebs on finishing your house!
As for me, start a new job on Monday!!!

What kind of job does an Oxford History Degree get these days?

Never actually worked with Autistic people never actually worked but I know quite a few Autistic people. (Or rather, 'Aspies')*

*And here you could start pondering whether or not you could say I know myself best of those...

I feel pretty lucky to be in the software industry. Pretty much 0% unemployment. Lots of jobs.

And the fascination with offshoring seems to be fading as companies struggle with craptastic code that comes back from India.

I'm not really working either, but I have a few leads which can hopefully lead me somewhere. A couple of part-times jobs I'm after the moment, and the money won't be much but at least I won't have to stress over how I'm going to buy food each week and pay my rent. My flat mates have been very helpful during this stage but it's starting to drive me up the wall a little bit.

Still, there are a lot worse people out there than me.

what do you get up to.. obviously we all ride, or have ridden in the past, or have an intrest in cycling...

what else...

As you mostly all know i'm spending a lovely 6mos under house arrest.

Last month I caught a stray kitten on my patio (not that it took much effort to "catch"). So I bathed it, fed it and am treating it as my own kitten/daughter, to go along w/ the two boy cats who occasionally keep me company. Susan W. knows what I'm talking about!

Oh, I read a lot of WW2 military history to pass the time, when not planning to take over cycling...

 

[RedheadDane]

Errrr! Excuse me! I am going to take over cycling!




Somehow...

Have to say; things are pretty rough 'round here. My grandfather is sick(ish) and my uncle just died yesterday...

 

[L'arriviste]

First post of 2012! I'm back and reasonably refreshed after a month's holiday.

Met some great people on our recent trip and we got thinking about the prospect of spending the rest of our working lives in offices. About a year ago, forum user Craig1985 made noises about crashing on my floor for the Tour of Flanders and that idea stayed with me.

So we decided to start a little homestay thing to test out whether we could do this sort of thing for a business in the future. Accordingly, this year folks can stay at our place here in Brussels on weekends and see the Spring Classics and even the first bit of the Tour de France. We'll normally be going anyway so we can take guests with us.

We're not trying to make lots of money out of it (though it can't be totally free of charge either ) - it just seems like a nice way to meet new people (including all you forum users) and find out if we really would enjoy the experience of having guests.

Since it's not really a big selling thing, hopefully the mods won't get upset if I post a link: http://brusselshomestay.com

Happy New Year to everyone. Will catch up with you on all the usual threads!

 

[RedheadDane]

And now I have begun a project! Project A Sunday in Hell.

It involves a canvas and some paint...

 

[krebs303]

Going to town to sign up for this class this morning

 

[krebs303]

A lot of marathon posters. I will replace them little by little with work by local artists

Such as this. I had to have it for $25USD. It's made out of wood. There is a little gallery just down the road that has really good prices. Also some great second hand stores.

Happy women's day to all our female users!! There are not so many of them but they are greatly appreciated. Susan Westemeyer, AussieGoddess, Kiara is a rational girl and most recently of course the lil' flower. To be honest I used to think Libertine Seguros was female (because of the ending in -ine) but I think I was wrong. Anyways keep up the good posting. I hope one day we'll have gender equality on the forum, until then let's all work together to make this place more appealing for women! Any suggestions??

 

[RedheadDane]

We'll get that equality! Just you wait!

Start a "hot guys on bikes" thread.

Show and tell time. I've listed my name, job, etc. but never really showed an example of what I do, or aspire to do, "outside of here", so here goes. This is a spec commercial spot I shot over the winter at an outdoor velodrome in town. It was quite cold and a bit of a challenge to do. The rider is Kirk Whiteman, former world champion who was gracious enough to bundle up and take some laps around a damp track in 38 degree temps.

Link here.

PS. The clouds are all fake, composited in after the fact.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Cool pic Alpe. I thought the clouds were real until I read the fine print.

Well, here are some real clouds. Taken (not by me) last night where I live.

What jersey is the female rider wearing at the end? Does it say "Château d'Aix"?

Also is that your voice??

 

[RedheadDane]

Digging this one up again because I have reached a fairly big developement out here in the real world.
I moved!

Me too and will again soon. Where to did you?

 

[RedheadDane]

To a flat in the west part of Århus. No more than about 15 minutes from my parents' place, where I lived before, (on bike, I always meassure these things in time on bike... And I think '15 minutes' might be my default...)
I've totally moved to the "Ghetto"!

odd jobs

Currently spending time with my cats...
motivating myself to:
. tidy up unit
. get a job
. do some serious bike riding

...so am really being a first class slacker
