It's cold, rainy and gray here. Not very jolly. Cool av, TeeJay!

TeeJay · 26 Dec 07 :: 02:00

Cold, rainy and gray sounds about right.

Yeah, I love the av. Chris has such a cute smile and laugh, people should see it more.

Which pic is that? I don't remember seeing it.

TeeJay · 27 Dec 07 :: 10:57

The pic for my avatar? It's one of the Fanboys ones. When they're around the big conference table with William Katt.

Ah! Now that you said it, I know what pic it is. I can picture the picture now. LOL Thanks.

Bumpin' this, but I gotta shower!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 14 Mar 08 :: 04:13

There you go. Let's move the travel talk over here.

Other favorite places I've been... San Antonio, Miami, Hawaii, New Orleans, Safford, AZ...

Least favorite places... Orlando, Downtown Los Angeles, "Hell, er, Birmingham, AL"...

What about you guys?

Donna · 14 Mar 08 :: 04:15

Wow, Hawaii, now I hate you more:D:P lol

TheCentralScrutinizer · 14 Mar 08 :: 04:18

Kauai, to be exact. In 1989. Pre-hurricane. The most unspoiled place I've ever seen. Paradise. Unfortunately, I was with the wrong person there. But still. I would give like a toe or something to go back. My dream was always to leave the real world and go there for a month and write.

I lived in Hawaii for over 7 yrs. I moved last September to Georgia. My parents wanted better jobs. There were soo many great beaches there and nice people. = ]

The main island, Oahu.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 14 Mar 08 :: 04:30

Georgia's probably pretty boring to you, huh Mel?

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 14 Mar 08 :: 04:40

Sometimes, especially at school. I don't know many people yet and usually the only thing to do is shop or sleep.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 14 Mar 08 :: 04:44

Sleep rocks, if you can get it. When I was in school, it was really boring here in Marietta too. Not so much anymore. There's usually something cool going on somewhere nearby for free all the time. I just like hanging at home too much.

Susanna · 14 Mar 08 :: 05:25

The only place I've been outside of New Zealand, is Melbourne Australia (really far, huh :embarrassed: ). Anyway, Melbourne did rock, they have the most awesome shopping, and I was there when sales were going on, so got a lot of stuff really really cheap. New Zealand's still better than Aussie though.

TeeJay · 14 Mar 08 :: 08:59

You guys asked where we've all traveled. Of course for me in the heart of Europe it's easier to go to different countries. Let me see if I can give you a list of all the countries I've been to:

The Netherlands
Belgium
The UK (England & Scotland)
Ireland
France
Switzerland
Austria
Italy
Poland
Romania
The Ukraine
Greece (I was only 4 and don't remember anything)
Sweden
The US
Australia
New Zealand

Some of those countries I've "only" visited on business trips and haven't really seen (Poland, Ukraine, Sweden, New Zealand), but some of them I know quite well because I've been multiple times in different places (France, Netherlands, UK). I also know some parts of Germany. City-wise I've been to Cologne, Düsseldorf, Essen, Bochum, Dortmund, Munich, Hamburg, Freiburg, Mannheim, Heidelberg and Berlin only briefly. I've been in Bavaria, the Black Forest, the north east coast and the "Saxonian Switzerland" (hilly area in eastern Germany). But of course I'm far from really knowing my own country.

This year I'll travel to Miami (only a very short business trip where I don't think I'm gonna see much) and maybe also Budapest (Hungary) and a couple more countries that I can choose from those where our clinical trial is running. I'm thinking about a trip to Canada later this year, I've never been. Might end up being a business trip, let's see. It'll depend on a few things I'll only know later this year.

I really love traveling, but it can also get stressful if you have to take a lot of business trips over a short period of time. But still, it's really cool that my job allows me to travel quite a bit.

Donna · 14 Mar 08 :: 17:22

Wow that's awesome! What do you do? Or maybe you don't want to say that on the internet which is cool.

TeeJay · 14 Mar 08 :: 18:30

It's no secret what I do for a living. I work for a Belgian pharmaceutical company (in Germany, of course). My job is to oversee and organize the operational part of (currently) two of the global clinical trials we're running in Crohn's disease. And part of that is flying out to the investigational sites (= hospitals and practices) and check locally how the sites are performing and if everything is going according to plan. There are a lot of rules and regulations you have to adhere to when conducting clinical trials.

I'm a biologist by training, I have a Master's degree in molecular biology. (Shhhh, but I've forgotten most of it already.)

She doesn't mind telling you. She works for a large multi-national pharamceutical company.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 14 Mar 08 :: 18:31

Damn, she beat me to it! LOL!
