must visit there again.

Ah, you're in En Zed?

So, anyone else who uses firefox getting a shitload of ads on here now, and even pop ups.

Never had a problem until a week ago, and it's only on LU.

Done Virus and malware checks and they have come up clean.

PC nerds your help would be appreciated.

I've had that issue too. I'd switch back to Chrome, but it doesn't allow me to use the keyboard shortcuts for stuff like bold and underline.

I did some Googling and found some annoying addon had been installed. Check your recently installed for any odd programs.

Had our first visit with the midwife this morning, and the thing she stressed most is that wife doesn't have enough iron in her blood.

So tomorrow I'm buying a meat pack from the meat shed. $100 for the following:
1kg BBQ Pork Chops
1kg T-Bone Steaks
1kg 1/2 Rump Steaks
1kg Chicken Thigh Schnitzels
1kg Crumbed Lamb Cutlets
1kg Lamb Loin or Chump Chops
1kg Top Grade Mince
1kg Butchers Thick Sausages
1kg Crumbed Steaks
1kg Chicken Drumsticks
10 Mixed Rissoles
1kg Honey & Soy Chicken Wings
1 x Carton of Eggs

Yum!

Om nom nom.

Headed to a Japanese buffet tonight. Should be good.

Got some news today that could have a pretty huge impact on my future in China.

The big bossman has been promoted, which means he'll no longer be in charge of things around the college. He's been an excellent boss, and they've shifted a Chinese woman into his spot.

I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, but in my experience the Chinese know as much about foreigner relations as I do about string theory - not a great deal.

I'd been almost a lock to re-sign in April when my contract expires, but these next three months will go a long way towards deciding that.

It also sucks because being mates with him, it was good having him about for a chat about the footy or just random crap. You don't know how much it matters having a boss who cares about you until you get one who genuinely looks out for you.

Interesting times ahead.

The jealous side of me will be happy if you have to work more than 6 hours a week Mis

I work 14, thank you very much. My contract states I can never work more than 20, so you'll have to put your jealousy on hold.

Of course, come renegotiation time they might decide we should all work 40 hours. About 5 minutes later, I'll decide that I'd rather do that for 16,000 RMB a month in Shanghai :lol:


I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm just expecting the worst so that anything better is a pleasant surprise.
