That's why you wait until a series is completely finished. Then you go and buy the whole thing on DVD and watch it in six months. :D

Hahaha yeah this is what I did with Lost, didn't watch a single episode until it was finished, somehow never managed to hear any spoilers, bought the boxset and watched the whole thing in 3 months.


Downsides - bawling like a child when it ends because you've been practically living with those characters for the last 90 days.

I've did that with Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis. Then I did it with How I Met Your Mother and the Big Bang Theory... and I re-watched Star Trek Voyager, and then the same with DS9, though I had missed the last few seasons of that.

Fucking hell I need a job.... and a new TV series to watch. I was thinking about watching Lost since I made it through the first two seasons; but then got all confused after I missed a couple of episodes.

I didn't watch Universe... mainly because I was annoyed that it only lasted two seasons and I heard that the last episode left you hanging.

Applied for another two jobs now... both with the local hospital. I'm probably overqualified for both though, as they're both Level One positions. I wish that politics worked there (and I hate job politics)... cause my dad is the equivalent of a VP and reports directly to the CEO.

Notice how only the end part of the two is different... and I meet or exceed every qualification required, including the extra stuff for both of those jobs. I've implemented and trained physicians and employees on how to use both practice management and electronic medical records software packages. If I don't get an interview, there's something seriously wrong with me and I think it's pretty much time to just give up and find something else to do with my life. Yes, I realize that sounds completely melodramatic, but I haven't gotten an interview in three and a half months despite applying for multiple jobs that I'm perfectly qualified for.

Our accountant is leaving in two weeks, think you could train up and get over here? :p that'd certainly be a change :D

Haha... accounting isn't quite my thing. I suppose I could do pretty decently at it, I just don't like math. Business math isn't all that difficult, but algebra annoys the fuck out of me. But I don't think I could get my passport and a work permit and study up on accounting principles in the allotted time. :p

Excuses, excuses! What do you mean you don't have a passport? Surely everyone has passports? :ninja
