@STAN:

Wonder what you gonna buy with yours first paycheck.

tbh. i´m not quite sure yet if i´m going to reward myself from the get go…the first thing i´ll do though, i´m going to surprise my mother with a nice little trip to somewhere special, that´s for sure! a few days vacation, just to get out of here everyday life is the least i can do to thank her for everything she did and still does for me...
and yeah, o/course i´m going to buy a nice little something for me as well, still need to think about that one though!

@urbanwoodsman:

Great news, Rafa. I bet this news secured a few vacation days for Giles this year, now that you're off the student budget.

well what to say…i think you´re right!

thanks a ton all

Interesting article about chambray making the move from blue to white collar work wear…

Chambray suits sound awful to me.  And this alone would make me stay away: "If denim-on-denim is the Canadian tuxedo, then the chambray suit is the new Brooklyn tux."

That stamps short-lived trendiness all over it.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah, it's a bit of the stretch, though an unstructured chambray sport coat is within the realm of plausibility.

Up to 95F tomorrow and Wednesday…

[Finn666]

Thanks for sharing Finn. Really exciting result. From a few months ago to starting your finals, to finishing, to passing, to applying and getting this role. F*ck yes!

[Snowy]

Going to sit an exam tomorrow to hopefully get another $1000 certification bonus. Lucky I like/am good @ IT, else I'd go mad studying for these exams and might realize it's not worth the time invested ;). However, I do like it, and do find it worth while :).

Just finished my first year of my apprenticeship, grade point average is 2 (for doing nothing or last minute hehe).

[Finn666]

yeah, i somehow find it awesome to know/see, that you guys actually went from zero to hero with me. shared all the great and not so great momentsi had  during my studies with you all, so it´s somehow great to know and a special moment for me, when announcing such things! same with ronald back then as he graduated…

thanks again for all the feedback and warm words guys...this place is really something special to me and feels like a 2nd home!
