That's not bad. At all. If I knew what the numbers meant (something about reps and sets, right?) I'd probably steal some of that.

For example, on the bench press... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 means how many repetitions I'm doing. The numbers 250, 260, 270, 280, 290 is the weight I'm doing. 250 goes with the 5 reptitions, etc.. etc...

In fact, if you would like I can create a workout plan that would benefit you the most for sprinting and long distance events. It would probably only take me an hour to do and I enjoy making them. The only thing about my workouts are you usually can't walk or move during the first two weeks, but after that you get use to them. :P

I hear though that it's good to have a day of complete rest with no exercise so the muscles can grow.

Yes, that's what my ab days are for. It takes me about 20 minutes to do the 3 ab days so I use those as my days of complete rest. I also make sure that there are plenty of days in between the workouts that are the same so I'm not overworking the same muscles.

Interesting. How often is it that people are trying to gyp you on change? Are you usually on par in your drawer at the end of the day?

I personally only count the drawers to 150 dollars and put the rest into the money bags. The corporation takes care of whether the registers are shorted or not. They don't actually tell us if they are.

Yesterday someone tried to put a clearance tag (a May clearance tag by the way) on an item that cost close to fifty dollars. Just because they found two other items that were 2.99 each they were trying to get away with getting the third for cheaper.

Someone also came in with a bag full of clothes. (wasn't our bag) They didn't have a receipt and didn't have the card that they used to pay for them with. So they wanted to exchange for the same exact things... There is a way for us to do it without a receipt so I allowed them to go grab what they wanted from the store and come back. They grabbed the same exact clothes, same exact sizes, same exact prices, etc... I asked what was wrong with the original things, but they got nervous and left. I guess if you're going to try and steal at least grab different sizes...

... damn.

HA!

I once had a lecture that was held by three different profs. And I had to buy 3 different books. In the end I didn't take the test because it was way too much to study. The results proved me right: only 17%(!!!) off all those who took the test passed.

Jeez that's really low. I know my study is pretty difficult and generally only around 50% passes a test the first time. On the more difficult subjects it's even less, but I don't think I've never heard of an exam where only 17% passed.

I heard the last test in maths was even worse. Out of... I don't know, about 100 people or so only about 10 passed...

Actually if that happened, I think some special rules come into play because the pass percentage is too low. Like extra resits or something.

I think we have something like that here as well, but the Prof has to give his OK first and in case of the maths tests he said no. Or something like that. I'm not really involved with that test, I just read about the results.

I was more referring to the sound of the language. German is often called a "hard language" because of all the "ch", "k" and other "hard" sounds. I heard dutch people "complaining" that german sounds hard and when they where talking in dutch I thought: "Well, YOUR language doesn't sound any softer..."

Oh like that. Well I think German is a harder language than Dutch, but maybe it's because Dutch people usually have a bit of a modest tone when they're talking.

Germans have a modest tone as well. :P

To be honest: I suck at grammar. In every language I am able or was once able (french) to speak.
For me it's more like a "feeling": "Oh yeah, this sounds good, so it has to be right."
Luckily most of the time I'm right. XD

Well for me too, but it only works in English and Dutch because I have no ear for if something sounds right in French and German.

Yeah, you have to be quite fit in the language if you want to develope some kind of "feeling" for it.

Never heard of Bonaire and Curacao either I assume?

Nope. I know however the "Lesser Antilles", even though I didn't really know where they where located until I looked it up.

I believe Bonaire and Curacao are part of the Dutch Antilles which is a part of the Lesser Antilles. Not sure though, my topography isn't that good anymore.

Geography has always been my weak point. ^^

Heh, isn't that the longest town name in the world?

Yeah, with 58 letters it is the longest. And I just read it has a twinning agreement with "Ee" (Netherlands) and "Y" (France). ^^

Also interesting: The official name of Bangkok is: "Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit"

Oh yeah I read that in the paper some time ago. I guessed it must translate to something like: City of blablalblalblalblalblabala.

Yeah, "City of Angels where" something great and awesome happened.

I saw Overkill live once, but it was way too loud, so I left after only a few minutes.

LOL too loud. NOW I know why you hate Manowar.

Yes, because they suck.

Also, I already told you about the slight tinnitus I have, so "too loud" music is not what I need. ;)
Besides, if all you can hear is some kind of bad mixture between every instrument possible, then it's hard to enjoy the show.

Also also, how come I like Motörhead?

No, they're lucky because they don't get their monitors exploding all the time.

Yes, but they also only get to see boring things on the internet.

But they won't have to fork out money for exploding monitors.

So far I haven't forked out any money. I had a spare monitor and when that exploded I found another one in the stairwell.

Ah, well that's where the issue gets really life-changing. The family has caused her to lose a job, which is never right. I've got wind that my brother and his woman are using the event as an engagement party, so I really don't want to be there.

Apparently, there will be Karaoke. I am praying that if I must go (for reasons of not looking bad in front of the family, should a convenient excuse not be forthcoming), I can get up on the stage and sing So What.
