The Happiness Thread

I finally plucked up the courage to call the government careers service. There's a foundation course in my area of interest that costs less than half of what bumping up my diploma to a degree would and it's local to me.

 

2 things.
1. WTF?
and
2. *shudder*

 

What's the big deal? I always have surrealism for breakfast.

 

I appreciated the cereal, but not the snail. Guess I'm just too damned picky.
ETA: I think CT lives in surrealism central.

 

In the (allaged) words of Salvador Dalí, renowned surrealist: "I don't do drugs. I'm drugs."
Yeah, I think this applies to our Cave Troll. Cave Trollop. Sorry, am I being too familiar?

 

Side note, I finally learned what ETA meant... To be honest this is the first forum I've been in where that I've seen this. I'm used to just seeing the word Edit. I'm not complaining, I was just always reading it as Estimated time of Arrival and it wasn't making sense.

 

I've managed a 15 day streak in my online French, and I've only got another 21 days and a few hours left until I get to see my amazing man!

 

Felicitations! Keep it up!

 

En esti, tabernac. C'est bonne, non?

 

Dunno dunno, dunno. It's good, no?

 

For shame, those are the french words I use the most.

 

I have no idea what the first lot means either, and I did A-Level French. (Obviously I got "It's good, isn't it?")

 

I know tabernac is some sort of expletive, based on "church," sounds like, so shortened from a longer implied phrase maybe?

 

No idea about "esti", but "en" is "in" and Google says "tabernac" is "tabernacle", where the stuff for the Eucharist is stored, which is particularly bad Canadian swearing. Makes sense I didn't know it, since we didn't learn a) Canadian French or b) expletives. (Except "putain", which we were told about because people kept saying "en pute" instead of "en peut", which means "a bit".)

 

Esti is ' the host,' and yes, yes it is. Mon dieu gros peur.

 

I now have three different currencies at once. Euros, Sterling and US Dollars.

 

It's snowing a really soft fluffy snow here, and the sun is setting behind the clouds making the whole world this really wonderful milky, rose coloured mess.

 

That sounds beautiful Its snowing here as well but it's pitch black outside so all you can see is white emerging from the dark. It looks really spooky.
