darkshine Report post Posted January 25, 2012 It's funny you should post that because the same thought has crossed my mind twice in the last 2 weeks, I missed her excellent responses that make me think or smile... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tally Report post Posted January 25, 2012 I've been wondering about Mumble too. I know she often goes quiet when she has a lot of work to get done. I'm hoping that's the reason this time. I hope we'll hear from Mumble soon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted January 27, 2012 She has been away before for long periods as Tally says. Lots of people disappear for a bit when "real life" takes over, hopefully she's OK.. Mumble if you're reading this do give us a virtual wave if you want to. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Howdy folks Long time no post. I see you've been doing some decorating whilst I've been away. Very nice. As Tally and Kathryn hypothesised, that thing called 'life' got in the way. Well that and attempting to get myself arrested in Bangkok... :police: Whistle stop tour of that thing they call 'life': passed my PhD exam (don't worry, I won't make you call me Dr Mumble ) left uni and moved home due to lack of supported housing which is proving 'difficult' working on finding long-term employment in a very competitive market with 100+ at some interviews doing all sorts of odd bits of work to tide me over from making cardboard boxes to proof-reading - unfortunately there don't seem to be any part-time 'chocolate tester' jobs going at the moment had my hair cut off (it transpires there's a difference between cm and inches and if the message gets communicated incorrectly you end up with a cold head... ) got the opportunity to travel to the other side of the world on a flight-only basis so worked really hard to scrape the cost together and just said 'yes' without thinking about all the what-ifs, coped amazingly well and gave myself loads of confidence and a bit of a travel-bug (as in wanting to travel, not an illness bug, although I got one of them too from my undercooked camel... ) developed my wine-drinking skills built a snowman So yes, 'life' indeed got in the way and will probably continue to do for a while. But I did find my true home whilst I was away: Edited February 8, 2012 by Mumble Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tally Report post Posted February 8, 2012 Wow, you HAVE been busy Massive congratulations on completing your PhD I'm sorry you've had to move back home. At least you have a roof over your head, but still, I hope you can find somewhere suitable soon. Your holiday sounds great, where do you want to go next then? Lovely to hear from you, especially with so much good news. Good luck with the job search! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted February 8, 2012 where do you want to go next then? Borneo, to see orangutangs in the wild. But preferably not via Bangkok! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
