What age were you when you left school?
High school? 15
That's when we enter junior college or what is A levels for Brits and high school to Americans.
Do you ever think of going back to college (either to complete or add some skill or specialization) ?
When i was a student I was too stressed at exams although I learned a lot. I said that if I had to study one more year I'd mental.
These days is much easier to pass exams but I'm sure I'd be emotional again. More than that I don't have enough patiance to study.
And what's the use to improve my skills when our local society is full of imposters who get everything due to their connections......
What plans do you have for this weekend?
Not much. Skiing with the family on Saturday. No plans for Sunday.
Same Q.
It's so long ago I can't remember. Seriously I went to some sort of playgroup rather than a proper kindergarten then when I went to school the bottom class was called 'kindergarten' - it was followed by Class #1
Do you think attending a kindergarten is good for kids - as a transition before school?
D-Type you're so funny....
You missed a page. Again....
:mad:
No plans for the weekend. Just got back from a three day trip in the mountains to celebrate our anniversary. The weekend will be chill out time.
What's your opinion of the latest assassination in Russia?
Without saying the wrong thing and getting put on Dobbie the House Elf's hit list. Putin sanctioned it and his rhetoric about hunting down and bringing to justice the killers is just for the international media. The man is a dangerous megalomaniac.
Change of seasons today - Spring in the North, Autumn in the South, does this have any significance to you?
Congrats to you and Madame Starter.Quote:

When was the last time you went to a party?

same q?
a group of persons with common political opinions and purposes organized for gaining political influence and governmental control and for directing government policy :pQuote:

Not sure I understand the question. If you mean "latest" then it would be 5:30 AM after going to work at 7:30 AM the previous day. We were getting a proposal finished for a big new contract and it was due at noon that day.The second longest was a few years later when I went in at 8 AM and left at 4:30 AM the next day. We had a crew in our distribution center replacing defective pallet racking and they had to work at night so our people could continue to work during the day.
Same question.
4:30 pm in my current job - after starting at 8:00am :)
When I was swim coaching days would start at 5am and could go through to 8pm.
Are you on wages or salary?
:eek: Until now I haven't known there's a difference. After googling I can say I'm on wage.
Does your job require traveling?
Wage as in hourly/daily right?
No. It used to, but not regularly by any means.
Would you like a job which has a lot of travelling?
It would be nice to travel abroad. Most Romanians use to see the world due to their job. But you know now I have responsabilities that don't allow me to leave the house for more than 4-5 hours. Besides, I tell again that I'm shy and would be stressed thinking I can't accomplish my mission.
I still dream one day I'll see Paris, Barcelona, Viena and San Francisco. Dreams don't cost anything....
Do you have women coworkers who polish their nails during working programme?
No.
My current functional (corporate) manager is a woman, and my current project manager is a woman (from Romania actually).
Where do you usually eat lunch?
Nice game, it is the first time for me, so I hope I will not write an already posted question.Quote:

How many hours do you sleep usually?
About 5-6. Not as much as I want. That's why I'm always head in the clouds.
Do you drink alcoholic drinks at work?
Don't worry about reposting - we do it all the time :)Quote:

Could you suggest a job were drinking at work is allowed, or even encouraged?
In the past when we weren't so scared about our jobs and we were really friends at work we used to have a'' little one''from time to time.
Lol....there was a time when an old decree completely forbid it but everybody drank, from the doorman to the general manager. We had such great parties at work....
What kind of job you'll never do?
Telemarketing. Some of those sell the sleaziest, most worthless products and services. Take your money and run.
What's the best job you ever had?
Either graphic designing at a local newspaper - enjoyed the job, but the boss was an ass, or swim coaching, the actual job was great, but the back stabbing and gutter politics were tiresome.
If you aren't already, would you consider being self employed?
I am self employed and in a nation where you wouldn't be it, cause there is no job and it is difficult to get to the end of a trial when clients don't pay but I really enjoy it since I have a basis of trusted and decent clients. I can wake up when I want, can organize my time but the most important thing is that I have the possibility to grow both professionally and economically. The worst thing is that I can go broke as well and taxes here in Italy are high beyond imagination :)
What do you think about neoliberalism?
free trade etc cant be all bad. But the only way philosophies like this work is if there is a level playing field, which is rarely the case - unfortunately.
Can you explain the reason/story etc behind your user name?
Sure. It's the name I picked when I joined because it's one of the things I have done at the track, among other things. I still use Starter because, back when I was a Moderator here, I was heavily involved in racing both pro and amateur (still am, though not pro anymore) and many of the folks who inhabited the CART and IndyCar forums (there were two of them then) were pretty passionate about their group - this was during the "split". I would actually meet some of them in person at races. Some were, ah..., less than pleasant on the board and needed to be chastised or sometimes sat down. It could be difficult in dealing with them on a personal level if they knew who "Starter" was. After all those years there's no reason to change now.
Same question to the next one up.
Gadjo dilo is the title of a french movie about a young French man who comes to Romania to do some research about a singer in a gipsy community. It means crazy stranger in Romany, strange with the sense of an intruder. I thought it becomes me as I landed here without being a Motorsport fan. :devil:
It was also very convenient because of the neutral "o'' ending of the words cos I thought people wouldn't think I'm a woman. Well, never thought I'll ever dare to post something here ( and look at me now.....:laugh: )
The funny thing was that I got to see this movie only a few years ago.
I kinda dislike this nickname, sounds a bit Slavic and the DJ pronunciation scratches my brain. But I'm too lazy to change it.
Same q.
well, I had a habit of putting some name as my MSN messenger handle (back when msn was the in thing!) and I put Storm as one of those names...later on when I joined this forum, I used the same as what was on my msn at that moment.
why? well I love thunderstorms....who doesn't? ;)
What is your favourite handle over here? not the person but handle?
ps: Starter, I remember those times of cart v indy ;) fun stuff as I read and even followed a bit of CART while it was on our tv then, but then I was mostly on F1 and that used to get very heated too.
ME! :sQuote:

Pretty dull, but my nickname was Aki not so much anymore. Other than that I was nicknamed Sven for a while years back.
As of now though I don't have a nickname
How long do you think we will all survive here? I mean how long will Motorsport Forums hang on?
You forgot about "Smiler". :laugh:Quote:

My best holiday was in the Scottish Highlands a few years back. Fantastic scenery, lonely, quiet and exciting landscapes.
Brilliant
Smiler wants to know :p Do you have a good memory for many things or is it just silly things?
Is it a Q for me only or anyone can answer?:p
I have a very good memory for silly things. Otherwise I forget everything.:s
Is there any photo where Smiler is not smiling? :devil:
There is, but not many and I dont know where they are :D
Do you drink Fizzy drinks? i.e Coke, Pepsi, Fanta
Yes. Unfortunately.
Can't stand still water or uncarbonated juices.
Do you like McDonald's food?
No not really. I don't mind the fries, but all the other stuff seems poorly done in my opinion.
What would you like to have for lunch today?
