Update on this. We now have logins and our phones have just been given direct numbers. I've brought in a few office things and my desk looks all proper n' shit. Got one of my Dragonballs next to my monitor. We still haven't been given contracts yet, which they're "chasing up". However we think they're pushing us a bit too hard. Especially since we've had not-the-greatest form of training, which was basically just showing us a document, telling us what to do and expecting it done perfect straight away without any practice. Two people have quit already, one got another job and we think the other just got overwhelmed, she was doing a LPC course so we think she just wanted to focus on her studies without being pressured so much. They're expecting 15 perfectly ready to go litigated case each week. Which at the moment seems impossible as your progress is dependant on how cooperative the client is. One client was sending me everything I asked for, the end was in my grasp. Then she went into hospital and I couldn't get anything else. Unfortunate for both of us. At the moment I seem to be the "best" employee thus far. One colleague noticed the boss and secretary lady talking on Skype (they're on opposite sides of the room) and noticed I was being marked 9 on things. Which is nice to know but feels like the pressure is on. However, if I can basically blag my way through why I haven't gotten things done, for example I need document X and I've rang these people, emailed them too, they seemed to accept that yes, I haven't gotten the task done, but I've done everything I can from my end and the ball is in the client's court. If they want compensation, they've gotta get their shit together. What seems to be perplexing us newbies it that some of these cases have been left for so long they're nearly unworkable. In a personal injury claim like we deal with, they've got 3 years from the date of the accident to file a claim or they're shot. One case I have is going to run out in 5 months, this shit shouldn't really be happening. I can hear the phone ladies taking details for new cases and I gets me in a fright that we may not get round to dealing with their claim for 1-2 years because of this bullshit backlog we've got. One thing that is beginning to chap my ass is other newbies asking me for help, mainly because I keep getting into trouble about it. One lady in particular, lovely lady, but always keeps saying "Can you show me how to do this..." and my mind is going "No, I'm not going to show you, I'm going to tell you, and you're going to do it." She has been off last week on holiday, so we're all worried how she'll cope being behind next week.

A few variations in my time, Dex, Dexter, Derekio, Dezzie D, Dubya, Don Shabba. Beech is what my missus and I refer to each other as. Dek/Dekky is what my Mum/Dad/Brother sometimes call me. Sasquatch, or the full name Thank You Sasquatch, was a name I got at Tesco. One colleague just asked if he could call me Sasquatch one time, said it was fine, and it stuck.

You're half-ish right.

Went to the gym for I believe the first time this year. 1.30 on the cross-trainer. About 30 reps on the abdominal machine. Then gave up. Place was rammed. But I saw some lasses with nice abs so it inspired me to keep going next time. Might buy a kettlebell so I can do some squats at home. And started on drinking spirits instead of beer. I think that's better.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/jan/16/sherlock-how-the-tv-phenomenon-became-an-annoying-parody-of-itself This pretty echoes my disappointment in the finale. They built up Eurus so much in the second episode and it seemed like a grand showdown against another mastermind was going down. What did we get? A dodgy Saw/Portal hybrid which was just dull. http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/sherlock/feature/a819115/sherlock-season-4-plot-holes-unanswered-questions-theories/ And some unanswered questions. Some of which I would be most intrigued about the answers.

Oh, I didn't realise the presentation was only unveiling brand new information. Because everything they did was completely unheard of before then. How about that little kickstand at the back? Sure didn't see that one coming, mind was blown, glad they pointed that one out.

That would've been good to have heard during their presentation.

Game cards? So no discs anymore?

Where do the games go in this thing? They seemed to gloss over that portion of the presentation, instead focusing on rock-paper-scissors detecting joy-con bullshit which will get used by probably 2 Nintendo titles before they give up, realising that none of the other games have given a shit about it.

I feels this, I loved the house we're in now when we first viewed it. The Tardis-esque nature of the place and hidden garden seemed too good to be true for the area, but Kelly didn't want to pin the hopes on lest we found something better, never did and almost missed out on the place but the other deal fell through. Top teep for everyone: Take someone professional with you, if you can. Even if it's just someone older who knows more about DIY/leccy shizzle than you who has more of a chance pointing out something you may think is "normal" Unless you're tearing down walls (which could potentially be lode-bearing?) you should be fine. I've replaced two light fittings (one took me awhile as I kept getting the order mixed up, kept flip reversing it in my mind) and re-rewired a plug as we chopped off the plug so we would thread the wire through a wall. If you can do it with just screwdrivers of varying size, you should be fine. This reminds me, I do need to sometime get around to changing the plug sockets round here with some ones with USB sockets in them, which I bought when we moved in.

Is the Wolf Link Amiibo worth opening? I got one with the Twilight Princess but not sure whether that dream cavern place is worth it. For some reason the Cell shoe image doesn't seem to be showing in my post, so gonna throw them up again because I fucking love them. Even brought a Scotch guard type spray to keep this bitch minty fresh.

The Vegeta ones on the left. Would've gotten the Goku ones but they didn't have them in my size.

I tried posting this a few hours ago but it seemed it didn't go through, so let's give dis shit another whirl. Last eyar's thread for checking outs: http://n-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58014 I'm still unsure about what I'm feeling for 2017: My gym thing did alright, but I'm thinking of quitting the gym. I've bought my saxophone so learning it is still on the to-do list. Got our house now so I don't need another one of those. Mainly it seems to continue getting money and expanding my experience doing legal shit. And go.

Preorder slammed down.

They didn't release Graces in Europe? I thought they did :S Symphonia 2 is the worst Tales. Ever.

Or it could be the pool house a lá Bel Air.

Had the urge to play it in a dream and just as I was finding it on YouTube my alarm woke me up, but the fever stayed with me and I've been listening to it for hours.

If you can, also get Graces f. Need to see if Grainger nearby will do the collectors edition...

Following on the following on of this... The place is starting to look a little more legit-ish now. Place still looks a mess in some rooms, but we're at desks with computers. After about a weeks worth of doing shizzle on said computers we've been given logins to get on the computers without the secretary lady (still unsure on her actual role) logging us all in. We haven't gotten logins for another essential program though so we've been floundering for the past coupla days doing mundane things, in the sense that they'd ask us to do something, say they'll check up on us shortly and completely forget about us. And I heard her phoning up more people for inductions/interviews. Some of us still aren't sure about the place.

Don't you mean a brackout?

Surely you thought the Mr. Game and Watch was simpler?

Muddafucka... How many more job offers have you had? Following on from this... It seems, seems, that the company that hired us was a recruitment thing hiring for this firm which is opening an office here in Nottingham, it still doesn't look that tidy yet but the short induction bit yesterday seemed legit. I almost kept nodding off during the end because I was ill as fuck the night before, shitting every hour and almost vomiting, which led to some self-induced purging in the morning, stuff was black as oil. I don't eat oil. Anyways, had about 12 hours sleep now so feeling more refreshed. Two weeks induction followed by six month temping at this firm which could lead to permanent. If anything I can say I've gotten experience, so here's hoping!

Hmmmm.... Really unsure what to make on this... The first ended at such a perfect moment.

I just nipped into my old place of employment and saw juat the Link on offer. Wasn't in great condition but got it anyway despite having one. Sure I could get a fiver for it sometime.

Were they all reduced?
