A happy new year indeed.

So, what did you got for Christmas? Oh wait, most of you have to wait until tomorrow, haha! :P

I'd link you to my Facebook post showing what I got but... you know. Still, here is an image showing what I got.

Nice!

We got a poster from my sister-in-law....

It's the singer of the band Die Kassierer and of course there is no censor bar on the original, lol.

The text at the bottom says "... and thinking about radioactivity".

But this got me thinking. Why is it that for example in Germany the traditional "present day" is the 24th and in most other countries it's the 25th?

I do wonder that myself and wonder even more why Spain have to wait that long.

I guess because Spain is a very catholic country and the three Wise Men arrived on January 6th? Or something like that. Had a quick look at Wikipedia on that matter and it seems that it's really complicated when exactly they arrived and how many they where.

Haha, I've not done that in a while but then again, the last few new years I've had were out of the house and depositing on my phone isn't the most reliable for it.

I hope you enjoyed your new year. With me, it was just out at my local bar but I think next time I'll do something different. I more wanted to be there as I hadn't had a full night there for a while due to weekend work over the last few months.

Job is ending tomorrow, though.

It could be for those religions but again, I don't know. All I know is that we open our presents here on 25th December.

Sorry to destroy your little pattern, @Murray. :) But I came to post about my Police Lieutenant rank!

Finally 100,000 medal points!

600 posts.

That'll take a while. I'm working on it.

Reached lvl 19 just now. I've been depositing regularly for the past couple months. I want that lvl 30 shotgun. It's gonna take like 2 years to get it, but I'm only getting closer.

19/30

You can do it! You're just 55 levels away! Just a little more than 9 years of daily deposits! :P

Didn't know they are that old, heh.

An otterbox for my phone

I'm almost afraid to ask... but what's an otterbox?

Nice catch. If only Coop had posted before you, then we would've had a streak from 60 to 56.

We originally planned to just stay at home like the last two years, but some friends invited us over, so we went there.

Too bad.
I'm still at my old job and it still means a lot of stress. Last few days where quiet, though, since no one bothers doing anything between Christmas and New Year.

Phone case. Like the strongest one you can get.

Yeah, I missed them when they last played at Rock Hard Festival. Too bad.

I see. But it doesn't cover the screen. I really don't like carrying my phone in my pocket without a screen cover. Plus, it gives extra protection when the phone does eventually fall down (and it WILL happen sooner or later, no matter how careful you are...).

Mine has a screen protector built into it...

20,000 experience points.

This would be a good place to retire. I'm not sure if I want to yet, though.

I guess I have 47 hours to decide.

Reached level 48 yesterday (2015.01.03)

What levels that? I'm aiming for 60

I see. That's nice, then. It just sucks that you have to get a new case every time you get a new phone, because they are all different sizes. >_>

Yeah, just keep depositing daily and you'll reach it in no time. And if you reached level 20 or 30 you realize that you just can keep on going until you reach level 40... and then 50... and then 60. ;)

Yeah that's true. Though I'm not planning on constantly getting new phones. I have a habit of keeping there ones I have for awhile and being careful not to break them and only getting a new phone when I absolutely NEED to get one.

It's difficult to break this 4-5 year streak... I can't do it, yet.

I don't see myself ever hitting level 60 though.

Heh, I propably was one of the last persons on this planet to get a smartphone. I even got a regular cell phone pretty late and only switched to a smartphone because there where no good "not so smart" phones available anymore.

But I guess I have to get a new phone rather sooner than later. The battery drains way too quickly now. Usually I could last a whole week without recharging. Now I have to recharge every second day.

It takes dedication and commitment. Not everybody is up for that much work.

Finally 51! Just three months till the next one...

I wouldn't go as far to say it's work, but it does take dedication, yeah. I could easily continue depositing for another 5+ years, I just don't know if I have the interest to anymore.

There's a pretty good chance that if I miss a deposit then I'm done. I just have a hard time breaking the streak.

Fair enough on the house party. I don't know what I'll do next time for new year and that's so many many days away anyway so I'll worry about that when the time is nearer. A friend of mine who DJs at the local bar is talking about seeing having the day off next time due to always being occupied for work there for that time thus giving him no time on his own. If he's successful, he'll see about a house party.

Too bad.

Well, the job's ended now so while I'm back to unemployment, at least I have the free time during weekends now but I should probably make the most of it since they have said it's possible for them to ring me back to be re-hired.

I thought the same to myself but look at me now! Only a few months away for me.

That he does. Maybe it helps if we mention @Coop in every post from now on?

Since my wife works as a doctor it may very well be that she has to work on New Year's Eve next time.

Level 12.

A little over 2 til I level up again. 66 days to be exact if I vote every day.

Well, start a new streak from here. Go! Go! Go!

Also, hello to everyone again. I'm not spending much time here, trying to sort life out, but suffice to say I'm engaged and looking to move in with my fiancee. The main hurdle to clear here is immigration, since she's Canadian. Yes, I'm going to Canada, folks.

That and I've become addicted to Criminal Case on Facebook...
