Howdie LSP! Long time no see. Welcome back!

The last sane person · 04-24-2018, 03:56 PM

Just doing the yearly drink is all, how're you?

***Valandil*** · 04-24-2018, 04:23 PM

Doing alright. Yourself?

**Mari** · 04-25-2018, 02:28 AM

Hiya Sane! Are you up for a glomp or are we dignified adults now?

***Earniel*** · 05-16-2018, 11:05 AM

We're dignified adults now? I didn't get that memo...

*waves to Sane*

**Mari** · 05-22-2018, 03:07 PM

I'm always behind on the memo's. That's why I asked

***Earniel*** · 05-23-2018, 02:24 PM

But then maybe keeping up with memo's is a dignified adult thing anyway...

In which case, I failed, badly.

Grey_Wolf · 05-27-2018, 03:55 AM

Hi all Im back after a long absence. I hope you all are doing allright. best Grey_Wolf.

Hi Mari! Indeed I have been away a long time. Pretty good - I live at my mom's since she is getting on her years and we have a shared household - thinking it is no use me living in the town and she living out in the countryside. I have had a few jobs - but nothing really came of them. So now Im governmentsponsored unemployement project which has been going on for a year and a half. We'll see if it leads to any job that fits me.

How are you and how's life treating you?

**Mari** · 06-09-2018, 11:05 AM

I'm fine. Busy

Got married last year, but still work at a school as an English teacher.

Sounds great! Congratulations on getting hitched! That is a worthy and necessary occupation in this day and age.

**Mari** · 06-13-2018, 02:31 AM

*chuckles* Oh, you don't know... there are people discussing replacing teachers with robots. Seriously.

Indeed robots are supposed to supplant man in all things. Wonder what we'll all do when we are out of a job.

**Mari** · 06-15-2018, 02:49 AM

Go on a holiday. Wait until people realise that teaching is not the same as transferring knowledge. Wait until they give me a raise before I actually decide to go back and teach.

if they dont need humans as teachers they wont need humans to be taught. Begetting children will be unnecessary because we are all made redundant. Of course the rich will continue to live the high life.

And the robots will do the services for them. Until the robots become so intelligent that they decide to revolt.
