Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Have you tried SkipScreen? It doesn't stop the waiting times but it does the waiting for you. I started like five Rapidshare downloads last night before I went out, when I came home they'd all finished.

As far as I know. It's on the Mozilla add-on website

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11243

It doesn't give you special access or anything, it just either automatically downloads a file instead of you entering a captcha and clicking download, or it waits out the time limit for you then auto downloads. For instance with Rapidshare if you're downloading one thing from them you have to wait like 15 minutes to download another, SkipScreen will just wait and auto download it while you do whatever.

Tomorrow I've to go to my next university to do the paperwork (if I want to get the scolarship). I just found out that I've lost my high school diploma. :doh: I tried to find it, but it isn't anywhere.. :wall: If I won't be able to find it in next 9 hours, I'm a dead man.

Good luck finding it dopeboy23, be sure to look carefully even in places that's unlikely. Oh crap, it's been 9 hours. :doh:

I hadn't seen that show yet. I can't watch too long in one go, but it's a nice social experiment they have going on.

That was like season 1 of the Australian one.

Then people who were on it got famous, and every retard and his dog tried to get on it. It was cancelled 2 years ago, and Australian TV is still recovering.

Luckily I found it. And it was in some suitcase which I hadn't used for about 1 year. :shock: That was unlikely indeed. :lol:

What's the most important, I did everything I needed today.

Sometimes lost things are never really lost, they just happened to be in the most unlikely places. ;) Makes you scratch your head and wonder how it even got there in the first place. :doh:

Anyway, congrats on finding it and successfully completing all your tasks for today.

Great that you found it dopeboy23. If you don't, there's this risk of repeating high school just because you lost the diploma. :|

On my way home I was thinking if my job is enough to support the family. But it actually don't. So crap. Must. Find. A. New. Job.

Same here, it's barely enough to be on survival mode but that's it. Been trying to find a new one for 2 years now, but this area is crappy for jobs. But fuck that, I've moved way too much already in the past few years, I need to find something decent right here.
That's one topic I could write about in this very thread every single day... :x

Ah yes, same here.

Problem is when you start in the teaching profession and update your resume with it, it's only advantageous to another teaching profession. Not that I hate what I'm doing but what the faculty gets on payday isn't enough, considering that we're the ones who face the students everyday, babbling about lectures and computing their grades -- and all the staff needs to do is to pressure us with tons of useless paperworks, deadlines, and salary deductions (that we don't even know where it's coming from).

Plus the staff tend to bash me on Facebook. :lol:

And to add to your misery, jobs are harder to find because of the economy nowadays. Not to even mention good jobs.
