its over twenty years (god) since we left school for the summer in donegal and told our friends/classmates we were moving to seattle where my dad was due to take up a marine professorship or idk what.
after a summer of increasingly disturbing fuckery and brokenminded parenting we ended up living with cousins on that island I keep posting about instead, where I had to learn irish for five years.
he owes me a week in seattle, basically, is the point

i like 'post haste' in the context of ilx. but i always have to confirm to it's actually a thing before hitting submit because it's too perfect.

XP I'll ask him in person in a fortnight, which only requires I wait a fortnight and spend no extra money. then I'll be right back to u with an answer.

that was an xxp I did not employ enough post haste

i think your island years weren't all bad? otoh i don't know what i'm talking about so.
he certainly owes you a week, if not the whole five years.
― lxy, Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:33 (nine years ago) link
xptoo
i will be here in two weeks to learn the outcome
― lxy, Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:35 (nine years ago) link
they weren't all bad at all but at the same time there's no point letting him know that if there's free lodging up for grabs, and I def begrudge the Irish lessons.

marine professorship
like biology or maritime industry? if the latter and he needs employment he should connect with our jergins.
― lxy, Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:44 (nine years ago) link
it would have been the latter twenty years ago I guess, but he is very old now and I wouldn't recommend him to work with anyone I'd be afraid for him to fall out with tbh
― esperantzen (p much resigned to deems), Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:49 (nine years ago) link
but he is talking with contacts there about work as is so I guess he plans to se(a)ttle for a while

haha fair enough!
