im stuck standing outside in the rain selling xmas trees 11 hours a day.... for every day up to and including xmas eve.

and my one day off, which was today, was ruined by the local ferries striking and me not being able to go to the mainland to have some 'fun' (i live on an island, yay :roll:

)

edit: and im not i Japan

i think my holidays might be classed as sucking

Christmas isn't a holiday here. Anyone not taking the day off though?

by **GargoyleTS** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 4:49 pm

Ouch! I feel for you Mr. Noodle! ^telepathic sends good karma north^

Any other Holiday Horror Stories? Selling plastic Santa Penguins to NOVA students anyone?

by **kamome** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 4:53 pm

I'm probably going to show up for work on the 25th. GETS brownie points with the Japanese colleagues, yeah! :wink:

by **GargoyleTS** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 4:58 pm

I know its not a holiday in Japan, but I thought maybe ya'll could use a bit of cheer being away from family and all. And some of you do have the new years holiday off, right?

You are not going to get it from me as I am anti religion. But I am happy i have holidays. But they start on the 26th. It good since I hate christmas most of all.

by **Mr. Noodle** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 5:03 pm

christmas isnt a religious holiday anymore.... its all about the retail sales!

im not actually gonna do xmas this year though, which is funny cause im selling xmas trees

Noodle

by **GargoyleTS** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 5:05 pm

Not christmas, Xmas! The corporate-driven holiday of frantic spending!

Seriously, it's not religious for me anymore. I give gifts to show my appreciation to those I love (plus I really like giving people gifts, its fun!). Only them, and that's a short list. Also its a time for me to see family members I haven't seen in a while for a huge meal! Pretty much a family reunion preceded by a gift exchange with loved ones.

So, for Japan I change it to Happy New Year-mas!

by **kamome** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 5:10 pm

Xmas is just another regular day for me, too, but New Years's...boy, now THAT'S A HOLIDAY! :cheers:

...and I'll be spending that with the folks back home.

Will be working on the day itself but ill probably head over the olds house for some turkey while wearing silly paper hats. Christmas is about being with family and loved ones.

The next day am flying out to Vietnam.. yeah!! I need the holiday!!

by **gaijinzilla** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 5:58 pm

Ah Christmas in Japan....on the way home from work yesterday I managed to see the following Christmas decorations placed ever so strategically on someone's balcony: all rather large inflatable doll-like thingies (I believe that is the technical term, isn't it..."thingies"?!?!) of a reindeer, a snowman, Santa and that old yuletide stalwart.....Dracula
:jawdrop:

'Tis the season so GET'S MERRY CHRISTMAS right back at ya!

by **Big Booger** » Sat Dec 13, 2003 12:48 pm

I gotta mail order turkey on the way.. ordered it last night

by **kamome** » Sun Dec 14, 2003 11:20 pm

Hey, BB, how are you going to cook the turkey? Do you actually have a western-style oven at your place?

by **Big Booger** » Sun Dec 14, 2003 11:32 pm

Precooked bird, comes direct to the door.

I couldn't put a pigeon in my oven... much less a turkey.

Bah! I say the hell with the Corp's(es) version of the holidays. I can live with "Happy Holidays" to avoid offending other religions. I just agree with not starting till around Dec. 5th or so. But friggin retail has to make the "Crappy Holidays" start before thanksgiving (in US), and that's just too much! But I do wish all here happy holidays and may you enjoy the few remaining days of 2003 and the first couple of days of 2004.

Eat, drink, be merry and drink some more, and may your New Year not start with wanting to chew your arm off!

It's in your HTML source:
[code]<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http&#58]
Yes, either your provider PyDS or more likely your commenting system of RadioUserland is giving you an RSS feed.
http://www.pycs.net/bob/pictures/rss.xml
If you don't want it you better start putting a "ROBOTS EXCUDE" tag in your HTML and remove that RSS tag . Your comments system says RSS all over the place and to quote your blog: "Subscribe to an RSS feed of this comment thread:"

But hey, you wrote many great blog posts. I'm glad I didn't rip off your picture and I always do. I found it through Feedster but your blog pops up everywhere through Google Image Search. http://www.pycs.net/bob/pictures/

Here's the feedster cache.

Well, my nascent blog might show up on google, but /pictures shouldn't -- because it isn't linked to from anywhere. I just started using that feature of PyDS this week (because I splurged on that newish Sony DSC T1). It doesn't really bother me either way, I was just wondering *how* it got circulated because I didn't explicitly announce it anywhere. Besides, if I wanted to keep something private, I sure as hell wouldn't put it on the public internet (on a community url, running on a server I don't personally control!).

Oh, and I'm not using Radio.. just PyDS hosted on PyCS.. all free/open source stuff (coincidentally written in Python, my current programming language of choice).

Merry Christmas

by **FG Lurker** » Thu Dec 23, 2004 5:58 pm

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Stuck in Japan for Christmas this year... Was going to go down to Okayama but it's just too cold to enjoy.

Ah well, the English signs are always entertaining. Couple of years ago a Christmas Fair of some sort was advertised as "XMAS FEAR"... Sounds very joyful.

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys the holidays.

A Cho-Beri Meri Kurisumasu to all. Love X-mas here in Japan; here they know what it's all about - sex and conspicous consumption (screw the "Put the 'Christ' back in 'Christmas'" crowd back in the states...). And here's a random X-mas present for some lucky FG. Be the first to post a truly funny, true "X-mas in Japan" story on this thread, and I'll send you a mix CD of (mostly) weird (mostly) Japanese music. The only rule - you have to be living in Japan.

Yoi, suta-a-to!

And AK, some CDs for you are in the works, as usual.
