Hah, You should've seen them running around when they realised it was a tumour, For four months they were foddin' him/us off with all these different things it "was", All the time my Dad is obviously paying for loads of different medication to solve all these conditions that it turns out it wasn't, One day he got so bad they admitted him into hospital, He complained about his eye-sight so they gave him so form of scan and found a tumour!

Aaand he was booked in for brain surgery the following day it was so severe, One of the nurses told my Mom that they wanted to take him down for surgery that night but felt it'd be better for him to settle in that night and go down in the morning, My main annoyance with this whole ordeal is purely the way my father just got fobbed off and passed around from section to section, It was pure fluke that they caught it in the end and by then according to the neuro-doctor pressing my Mom to sign consent forms just in time too because without the surgery my Dad would've had about a week, tops!

Argh, Wrong thread to rank much?

Anyway, I start my new job next week, My induction day is this friday and I get to work with a couple of really good mates but best of all, I get to work on the computer game section!

Cool

Congrats, Jayour! Hope your father will be in tip-top condition soon. ^-^

What pleased me today (much like the last few days since last Thursday) is...
Working on my brand new computer system that I have built and configured from scratch! It's a personal milestone for me in computer technology and will help me in the long run with my graphic work.

I know not many of you share my tech interest, but I'll list some specs.
NZXT Full ATX Case with 8 fans
ASUS Rampage Formula motherboard with Supreme FX II audio card
Intel Quadcore 6600 Kentsfield CPU
900w ABS Tagan Modular PSU
Dual 250gb and Dual 500gb S-ATA hard drives
nVidia GeForce 8800GT Graphics Card
4gb of G.Skill DDR2 800 RAM
Dual ASUS 20x DVD-R/RW Burners with Lightscribe

I'm a happy geek. Also, if anyone has computer problems, I'd be happy to help. cheers

By the way, my mother's birthday was the 4th. And now I know how to make some delicious garlic and herb chicken. I love you

I think my brain is falling apart. First, Jeremy's biorant and now, technorant... this will be the end of me.

That's great Synth.

Was the hottest day so far this year. Should get upto 72 tomoz. I'm not usually keen on hot weather but hopefully it will help my dad. He sat outside today; sun on his face. This is what ive been praying for; i really want a summer with him. He's always been a sun worshipper. He's happiest in it. I always used to think it would be skin cancer that got him, or a heart attack. I want to see him in the sun now, reading his books; happy. I could of cried. Lets hope we get a record breaking summer.
