oh no. i attended that training so that in the future, when clients asked our office about it, we can help and give assistance or if our office decided to do a project regarding that fish, we have the necessary knowledge.

hi dian! thanks! i'm glad that you are doing okay now and gotten over that cough. i did make some friends back during the training. i just hope i can see them again coz it was really fun to be with them. my training was about reproduction of Pangasius (a fish relative of catfish).

That must and should be what a seminar would be. Far from the city so everybody will be present and will listen attentively to the lectures. But the lectures must be in full gear so no time and resources will turn into waste. At least youve rested and as youve said youre in vacation.

yeah. the lectures were alright, although there were lecturers who discussed so fast. good thing is, all of the lectures are given to us in a cd.

i thought you were talking about a floppy diskette in that discussion of yours? now, a cd and a diskette are different. we mostly use cd/dvd and USB in the office. floppy diskettes are obsolete.

At least you have all the lectures and no need to jot down notes. And may I add, remember the cd that you used, thats my issue on usb or diskette, so you did make use of it. Thanks again.

Oh! It looks like more imprisonment and less training - you would have a better caption for this store - life in a boarding school, or inside the big wall for four days... Lol. Anyway, thank God it is over and hopefully you will not be nominated again to attend that training program again in your lifetime.

well, its not really imprisonment. we were free to go out after each day of training. only the town is far and to the front and left of the training center are cemetaries!

i'm okay with attending training, so long as the place is not that remote.

Hi secretbear. Yes I have come out of my cave to say welcome back. Glad to hear you (somewhat) enjoyed your break from the routine of work. I can't imagine you away from myLot for any longer than that. Any longer you might start pulling your hair out LOL. Take care and have a good weekend.

So at lunch or after work I go to the local library and use their computers. They only allow use for 1 hour...bummer. I like to put thought into my responses and sometimes need more than an hour. Oh well at least I could get on today. Welcome back!

hi greenglitterturtle. at first i was okay with no tv and no computer because i had brought with me a thick pocketbook by Anne Rice. but i finished it quickly so i didn't had anything else to do with my free time. i couldn't spend it talking with other participants because we tend to lose topics easily. ^__^;; i'm just happy now that a computer is within my reach now. thanks.

Hello secretbear, Even though it 's just four days I feel like you were missing from here for years *sad* Oh, yes! Honestly I was looking for you and few others good friends here! I am glad that you are back. You brings joy here, friend! Am I too much? By the way, I hope to hear from you more often. Well friend, start digging out again. Bet you are far behind one more time! *laughs* I am able to reduce the number of notifications into halves while you went missing! *laughs*

so you weren't that active too here kun? what's keeping you busy? the training was about induced breeding of Pangasius (a fish relative of catfish). it had to be four days because we had a practicum where we injected hormones on the fishes and we had to wait for three days and observe the hatching of the eggs.

you know catfish right? the Pangasius looks like a catfish only it has a bigger body. i think it is called "basa" in vietnam. i'm not sure. and then, it is also called giant catfish. ^__^ yeah, i've decided to stop being sad and just continue like before with my old self. i may still have feelings for him but i'm gonna take it lightly from now on. i wouldn't be so down about it.

And I am glad to see that you are back. It seems to me that lately a lot of members are back from somewhere so I guess it also has to do with the nice weather. I think that now that summer is in midstream and we are having some really hot days, some people don't want to be outside and are in their houses so they are back posting in mylot. I am glad to see it as I have been pretty active for the last 2 months or so and I have hardly seen any of my friends here for some time and so now it looks like they are back because they are responding to my discussions I started , like 2 months ago and more recently. For awhile there I as getting a little worried because no one was responding to my discussions or commenting on my responses so I thought maybe I ws too boring.

I am glad to see a lot of my friends lately and you are one of them.
