Telescope assembly...
...IS A PAIN IN THE BUTT!!! I got the biggest box I'd ever gotten in my entire life at the door today, and the heaviest one as well. I was wondering if perhaps someone followed through on plans to ship themselves elsewhere, and if they had decided FL had a nice climate and I looked like a good friend to beg for a room from.
But at last, it was the telescope. Which was in a box, which had several pieces within that box in seperate boxes; the larger box in yet another box to protect it during shipping.
I must have spent the majority of the night putting the thing together, damn little screws. And I haven't even hooked up the autostar feature yet. All I know is that everything SHOULD now be in its rightful place on the tripod. Haven't even gotten to peep through it out in the backyard, just to get a feel for it. Mom suggested I wait to put it together til Dad got home. HELL NO. I CAN DO IT MYSELF, DURNIT. And I did. We'll see if it actually works tomorrow though. And if it does, well...
the NEFAS is having a viewing session down at Hanna Park on the tenth. Don't know if I can check for available guys while telescoping, but hey, there's always the option as follows:
Me: "Hey friend," *bats eyes* "I'm new at this, think you can help me feel like...errr, I mean find Venus?"
I know. Yeah. Right.
And P.S. Thanks for all your comments to my last post. They were all very much appreciated and have been taken into account.
And P.P.S., Kate, I might apply just for the hell of it, just to see what happens. Just imagine what mom will do if someone calls here from Germantown, TN asking if they can get an interview...

mmmMMMMMmmmmmbateyes.....
Knowing all astronomy geeks that me did when me went college way back when... you do better asking for help finding Saturn (not the car). In world of astronomers, it am little known fact that ALL astronomers know girls like Saturn (the planet). Most of astronomers think this am because of rings and all that romantic stuff that go along with it. Any guy astronomer be more than willing help you find Saturn (car or planet) because.... well, that mean girl am talking to them and maybe he find out what all that romantic stuff am.
It's just too risky, Monstee. Ask them to show you Saturn, and they might show you right into their back seat (unf unf).
Didn't want to seem pushy regarding the job, dear. You know that. I just saw it as an opportunity for you to get "unstuck," and I was surprised when you didn't jump at the chance. And, as usual, when somebody catches me off-guard, I must retreat to lick my wounds.
lolol, in a club full of nerds and geeks, cheesy pickup lines like that will be sure to make them blush and their little wee-wees shrivel up because a girl is talking to them

Do you know this from experience, "anonymous"?
Saturn, eh?? Can anyone help me find 'Sol' instead? I saw this movie back in the 80's where this guy got his powers from starin' at that big fusion-reactor in the sky..boys n' girls..DONT try this one at home! ;)
And whats wrong with cheesy pickup lines??? I once tracked down a girl I liked and when I found her..just as she was about to kiss me, I hastily dodged and said "can i have ur #?" needless to say, she hardly spoke to me after that.
Moral of the story..stick to whut ur good at. ::wonders where he misplaced his shuriken::
