I thought the same, and I only could read a little about it as I was busy at the moment. Apparently they create a mini-environment with oxigen and such and they are essaying it (the environment itself). They are evaluating if it supports the temperature changes and if it has no filtrations or such. So, it's a very, very early first step, but it's something. It began growing quite fast, which is a good sign.

Sounds great, right?
I want that astronauts, some day, are able to eat croissants in the moon. So perfect.

*waves*
In good news I have a job, doesn't start until 2/11.
Bad news it wasn't the job I wanted and pay is $2.50 less and it s a good 25-30 minute drive to get to it.
But I have a phone interview this afternoon for a different Job at a company I've been wanting to work at for a few years now.
Pay is better and it's maybe 15 minutes from where I live now.

In the meantime I've been doing deliveries for a local company called "Favor", mostly restaurant runs for lazy people and/or people
who just do not want to fight local traffic (Which is fairly bad especially at beginning and end of day). Unfortunately it means I've put
nearly 900 mile son my car since I started it and the leg I broke last year seems to not have healed fully and all the driving seems to
have over-stressed it so I've had to cut back on the driving, which means less money.

Humorously I am apparently one of the more prolific drivers and have been invited to the local HQ to do a video interview and learn
a little more about the company. Also humorously this is the same company where I've applied twice for 2 different internal, non-driving
positions and gotten rejected without even an interview....8P

Still, despite everything I've been through recently, I am still here and alive...8)

Hmmm, let's see ...

Congrats on the job that doesn't start yet ... sorry about the less pay ... good luck with the interview you've probably already done for the job that's a little closer w/ better pay ... sorry to hear about the leg and the traffic ... nice that the company that didn't recognize you before now humorously does for your prolific driving skills ... did I leave anything out?

Oh yeah ... I'm back ... again.

Sorry to hear that, Otlan. Hope it doesn't put you off from trying again. :)

Hi guys. :) Finally found my copy of Changes, and as I reread the past  5 or so books the more I become convinced the Mothers are More Than They Appear.
Is it just me or is it getting a little solipsistic in here?

Yeah that about sums it up RSL...lol
Welcome Back!
I've also got lines on 2 other potential jobs, either of which I would take over the one I have (that has not yet started),
mainly because they pay more ($2.50 to $5.50 more!) but at least 1 is at a company I've actually been trying to get into for a
few years because I've heard great things about working there and its growing rapidly so plenty of advancement opportunities.
So here's hoping for even better news soon!
