Colour now done, just waiting for the healings to begin
-
Following on from this, I was originally offered 23rd May, which I had to turn down because it was the wife's birthday, so tattooist offered me this Sunday (13th June). As I hadn't heard anything from her since mid-April I thought I would send a confirmation email, just as a courtesy. She comes back saying that I was booked in for 23rd May, she can't fit me this Sunday and earliest she can fit me in is 28th August? THE FUCK?! I responded saying that I *did* have it booked, but we changed it, to a date she offered (with email subject changed by her) and I accepted, on 17th April! I sent a screenshot of the earlier part of the email where that actually happened, had she scrolled down she could've seen it herself. Awaiting a reply. What I don't get is that even if it was booked for 23rd May, that no confirmation email was sent to check if I was attending, or at the least one afterwards asking me where the fuck I was. EDIT: she was suddenly able to pull 27th June from somewhere.

Chased this up twice and haven't heard any reply, so assuming I haven't gotten in, but a bit unprofessional to not even tell me. One of our agency staff has gone, soo many mistakes/not enough productivity. Sadly I think the one I am mentoring may be on his last legs. Great chap, but he's too slow in duties, checking stuff on spreadsheets is a simple copy and paste job (where he was right clicking copy, right click paste), so had to teach him the power of ctrl C + ctrl V. Something I could manage in 30ish minutes takes him 6 hours plus. I don't expect him to match my speed, but this is ridiculous, so he isn't typing any letters. One week I took over the spreadsheets so he could just type, did an alright amount for a newbie - was also doing capital letters by toggling caps lock on and off, so had to show how the shift key works... but after having the letters back from the consultant ready to go out, he didn't send them out and had them sitting in his inbox (also a mess) for almost a month... Unacceptable shit.

Some shoes for the gym, my current trainers are too flat soled, something I think I'll need to change going forward because my heels aren't the best and these trainers offer little comfort when squats and balance with other exercises. So here's hoping this can increase the ability to gain gains

The Exercise & Fitness Thread: The Struggle Is Real
EEVILMURRAY replied to Fierce_LiNk's topic in General Chit Chat
With gyms allowing classes I booked one and just gotten home... Holy fuck you can tell when things have gone to shit. Naturally I knew I had fallen behind but I didn't think I'd feel that bad when it was done. I'm so happy we ran out of time so we couldn't do all the core exercises. They always make me feel a lil nauseous, and I dunnae think I could've handled it -
Don't forget her amped up British accent to accompany the "fuck you foreigners, it all sounds the same to ones ears". Does anyone know what criteria these juries go on? Because I can only assume it's financial that Switzerland got so high, same with France but that was classier. If this is what it takes to win, send in ear tumour epidemics James Blunt or Lewis Capaldi next year. Victory will be assured. Germany was amazing, fuck y'all who believe otherwise.

I try and get a new bike to reinvorigate the gains and treat myself, but it appears to not want to bestow its glory upon me. Had some chain issues so took it back to Halfords who said one part of the gears wasn't assembled properly, but even on the way home the chain popped off again and has several times since (with several similarly veined reviews). This cannot be just from me pedalling too hard, as the resistance is shocking on even its highest gear - my old bike just wouldn't turn if you tried pedalling on a higher gear with no speed and zero chance of coming off, it was that good. Hopefully get it changed for something else, because this isn't a safe bike

The new anime and manga thread! [Use Spoiler Tags!]
EEVILMURRAY replied to Shorty's topic in General Chit Chat
Bring back Perfect Cell and have him assrape Golden Frieza into oblivion! Need to get back into the Super and finish it. PS4 has been busy playing Dark Souls, and now I've got to a sticky point my interest in the game is starting to wane... Started second season of Dr Stone yesterday. The concept of explaining the science behind things I really like. I keep trying to get the wife (a microbiologist) to confirm whether some of it is correct, but she's never paying attention. -
Never got into Big Brother, there was just a load of sitting about doing fuck all*, and I'd remember when instead of showing Live Casino stuff, they'd have live Big Brother for 6 hours... and people would watch it?! *at least in The Circle they cut out the boring bits

I'm in flux at the moment... socially and family wise, I think I'm in a good spot, by brother is still a dick who needs to drink a lil less, but he'll always be a work in progress, leave that with me. Professionally I thought I was in a good place until last week (see jobs thread), this is the first proper permanent, full time, not all that bad paying job I've had in all my life, and it only took me 33 years. Just when I think I can take it to the next level (see jobs thread), whilst it's something which has made me feel less appreciated/valued than any job has ever done, it's not something I can just up and leave, coz monies. Having a house is nice, but I feel like those in the house buying thread that you may have bitten off more than you can chew, maybe you have rose glasses when you move in, and then the smallest things start appearing which you know you need to fix. The electrics are old, so will probably be a couple of grand to update the wiring at least. Weather has been shit today which has revealed the conservatory is not as watertight as originally assumed. So that's a couple of grand as well It's all about money, and everything is a fuck you.

Up on the saga. Didn't get one of the PA roles I've basically been doing. They rang up whilst I was en route to pick up new bike and one of the reasons they gave, as well as wanting a face to face to explain more, was that I didn't explain enough about the treatment pathway "which is an important part of the role", I can't remember my exact answer, so fuck me I guess for not training myself on something which isn't my job yet. I hung up on them shortly after that. I've been a miserable fuck all week. I did give my colleagues the heads up about this question as it did catch me off guard, those two got one of the roles, so fuck me again well-intentioned idiot. They haven't invited me to this meeting yet as one of the seniors has been on leave this week, but I'm going to get a list of the stuff I do and make it quite clear what it is my job it is to do. Because it being exactly the same except for taking some minutes at meetings and "having final overview" of some spreadsheets is not worth the base £2k difference in wages. So hopped on the job-grabbing bandwagon, saw a couple of legal secretary vacancies which I applied for one, one through an agency which when they did the usual call back was a bit arsey, one going far to say they may go through my CV with me, which was a surprise. Another was a very long shot from a vacancy in Sept 2020 for one which is right near me, was invited for an interview which was essentially a job history grilling by one of the solicitors and the partner of the firm, who was doing a very, very bad job of trying to hide his yawning, along with things like "I'm sure there is advancement available in the NHS surely?" if you're not feeling it dude, say it. I've already written that off as a fail so not holding out hope there. I do however have a challenge set by Games Workshop for a game dev role there, so that's my weekend covered as I complete this mission in time...

Well I've seen a lot of Catfish TV show recently, so I think I could pull off a chubby black woman, as it seems to make up 90% of their culprits. Joking aside, I would have to pick some sort of geek gamer girl, I have a friend who would do perfect as she is great on the eyes and will catch the other players, and best lies are grown on truth, so if I can just chat the same shit that I know about, just a different gender = Powah. Just so long as no period chat comes up (see US show for details)

That's what the wink wink was all about! O_O

Let it crumble! I'm in a quandary at the moment. I've applied for two positions, one being a PA, a rank above me, another for a PPA, which is what I am now, but just somewhere else. I had my PA interview on Friday and other one is tomorrow. A few colleagues had their PA interview today and I emailed my senior on the sly asking if there was any reason why I may need to cancel my interview tomorrow wink wink. No response. Maybe she's playing it close to the chest and not playing ball, but either I got the position and there's no point me attending anyway, or I didn't get the job of what I've been doing for the past year because of some insignificant bullshit and I then have to try and impress the exact same people who deemed me unworthy the first time. So probably gonna cancel it tomorrow.

This delightful little number from Halfords My current bike has had a good run, but as mentioned previously, would be easier to just buy a new one as opposed to fixing/replacing everything, plus I've had it for 10 years naow. So donating to my brother for his services to the house. Gotta wait until Thursday to pick it up though.

Well, that's my application sent, @Beast @Josh64, come join me and we'll have our own N-E Massive alliance

I've been getting that with a few people over the past couple of weeks, mainly @soag, I'm not sure that because I've liked more of her posts and we've replied to each other more than I have other friends, but each time she posts a pic of Donald and Mickey doing some crazy shit, instant notification "GEORGIA IS IN DUNMURRAY, LOOK AT THIS YOU FUCK." Which I didn't mind, but now it seems to have migrated to more people, how they've updated their story etc.

I could've sword we had a more recent topic than this... but the search isn't giving me anything. My brother and I are going for a joint Goku/Vegeta tattoo, the original plan was to have the fusion dance and we would join with our legs together, but I couldn't find a decent image of them doing it so was remixing an image from one of the video games before I got bored and saw an image from the opening screen of Dokkan Battle (great lil mobile game, go get it if you no has already). In his infinite drunkeness he said he would pay for it all as he'd just been paid for a big job, but naturally that part of the story slid away so I would have to shell out my half (minus deposit, which he paid, score). After being cancelled twice due to the lockdown, we finally got another date, which my brother couldn't make as he was now lacking funds. But since we were going on separate dates (originally a Sat/Sun job) I didn't need to reschedule mine... Got this done yesterday. Sadly just the outline as the plan was to have it all done 1-8, but she took over 45 minutes fapping around getting ready, and at half 6ish said we should do the colour in another session (and pay an extra hundred quid for the pleasure), plus she also dropped the bombshell that she ran out of white the day before, which was nice. Very happy with how it's looking, so I'm not too peeved I have to pay another ton, just a lil disappointed I have to wait until June naow.

My "socials" are not as active as they once were naturally. It's just too much work to keep on top of everything. I mainly use Facebook just coz it's what I have the most people on. I barely use Twitter anymore because it just seems like it's mainly people trying to shout one sentence points and running off, or attempting multiple tweet essays about how they were done wrong or something. Reddit I never use and doubt I will. It's whole algorithm of top post always being most liked (unless you can switch this off?) means unless you get in there early, no one is going to see your contribution. Discord is something I'm unsure why it exists, it's like someone took IRC and mixed with a forum, for small groups of people it makes sense as you can have separate topics (such as with the Warhammer lads I hang out with), but for massive endeavours - I don't see why a forum wouldn't be better. Linkdn is people trying to bend over and blow themselves, especially the agency staff shamelessly trying to plant their flag of moral fibre and advertise themselves at the same time. Other than that. I love social media. Back in t'day you had MSN/YIM and maybe AIM, and that was enough!

Wife and I have gone through the first season and now caught up to the second, awaiting the next batch. They're shorter than our seasons so there isn't much "twists" per se, but means there's less people that come in and get shafted out in favour of the original crew. Give it a week and come back to it.

Good value @Cube?

I did planning buying some new tyres for my bike, but that wouldn't make the frame any less a bit rickety, got some threads in the pedal sorted but the whole thing isn't 100 percent. I've had this bad boy for about 10 years now, so it's had a good run. I'll treat myself to a new bike when my backpay comes through. Otherwise I'll be spending more replacing bits after bits

COVID-19 (The artist formally known as Coronavirus)
EEVILMURRAY replied to bob's topic in General Chit Chat
After my first jab it took me a couple of days before I felt like shit, this hit me in under 24 hours and was worse. I had the colleagues at work saying I should go home, but I'm too proud for dat. I'm feeling better this morning, but still not 100%. I think my fever broke around midnight last night. I could almost feel the delirium as my mind was racing about random work shit. -
COVID-19 (The artist formally known as Coronavirus)
EEVILMURRAY replied to bob's topic in General Chit Chat
I have just had my second jab, which now means I'm more machine than man naow. As like first time I wake up feeling like I've been hit by a paintball. More symptom reporting as it happens... Edit: my body is attempting to reject this anti-virus software upgrade, I've been weak and achey all day...
