    None of you are mentioning the pencils! Have they stopped having buckets of them around anymore?

     

    Yeah, they had pencils everywhere in the one I went to. I stole three, but then felt guilty and so put one back.

     

    Room at home has been re-vamped, dad spent an entire day moving my tiny room at home around and it looks awesome, I also get to pick the paint I want - YELLOW BABY! I decided I was sick of blue, green was out, purple is my room at uni, I couldn't have red..so yellow it is!

     

    An excellent choice, I did the same when I had the chance of redecorating my room. Yellow is just so bright and cheerful and easily one of the best colours, closely followed by purple.

     

    I got my haircut after spending a while touring about looking for a place that was open. Found a pleasant Spanish guy who did a decent job, he really seemed to want to impress me with his hair cutting skills possibly out of a boredom after a slow day. Then I had a tasty vegetable panini across the road and enjoyed the sun and shorter hair.

    I went to IKEA last week. An utterly insane place. I was looking at one of the posters they have dotted around, it showed a smiling Swede proclaiming the eternal value of good design. I looked down at what he had designed; it was an orange cardboard box. That was when I knew that this was hell.

     

    On the plus side, I overheard the most bizarre conversation while walking round. One woman saying to another "so then the fish just leapt up and sucked her nose". I didn't hear any more, but I wish I had.

     

    Anyway on to today, I need a haircut for tomorrow when I do a presentation to about 60 people. But it's bank holiday Monday so I'm going to have to go to a place I don't normally go to, which makes me apprehensive. Having a shit haircut will do nothing to calm nerves tomorrow.

    Welcome, I see no troll at the moment, but I can see we're going to have to keep our eye on you seeing as you've already created a damn grammar war. Full stop is the way to go, it's definate and final, none of this girly period business.

    I've just seen a job that seems to be exactly what I want my next career step to be. But I'm pretty happy with where I am and this role is located in California - Not sure moving to another country is completely what I'm after. Then I think this is a great job and it could be fun having a big move like this. Really not sure if I should apply or not' date=' at the moment I'm leaning towards sending off a CV and just seeing what happens - I can always change my mind I suppose.

     

    I think a few guys on here have made big moves like this, pros/cons and oppinions?[/quote']

     

    I'd say send an email enquiry just to get a bit more info, like what visa's and stuff you'd have to sort out, what benefits you get (remember in the good ol' USA you get nothing from the state and your employer is expected to provide insurance and such like) then send off a CV if it sounds like a decent opportunity. You can always change your mind and it would definately look good for future employers to have experience working abroad, shows initiative.

     

    I've just finished a long and dull application form for a job with the environment agency doing ecological surveys and water assessments. At the moment I'm stuck in the old catch 22 situation of having plenty of academic qualifications, but little practical experience. I just need someone to take a risk and employ me.

    I could've sworn you have a beach in Birmingham.

     

    It's like a building site with some deck chairs.

     

    Firstly, sex on the beach isn't all it's cracked up to be unless your bag is extreme friction. Secondly some of the best beaches I've been too were in Morocco, almost deserted apart from the odd guy selling "happy cakes", brilliant.

    I want a job. But I don't want to have to apply for jobs. Filling out application forms is the most boring task ever created. Plus you need to put effort into every one tailoring it to the specific job description and after all that effort you never even receive a reply. Bollocks to it, I'm playing Left4dead, jobs can wait.

    Hmmm, too much light pollution near my house so couldn't see anything. The shooting stars should be coming out of the Persius constellation so look at the area between the Ursa Minor (the big dipper) and Orions Belt as they're pretty easy to spot. The best night for them is meant to be tonight, but it looks as if it might be cloudy everywhere except for the east of England, northern Ireland and part of Scotland, which is crap. I'll try again though a bit farther afield tonight.

    It seems pretty clear outside so I've suggested to my girlfriend we go out shooting star spotting. It'll be a nice way to end the day after missing all the sunshine and sitting in front of a laptop writing an endless report. I love this place, I would have completely missed it if Eenuh hadn't mentioned it in the outer space thread (you too Caris).

    I would have thought the best way would be to get a Liverpool shirt and just send it to the club with a letter asking if it might be possible for them to sign it. I remember I did this years ago with Oxford United. I asked them if Malcolm Shotton would sign my 1986 Wembley Milk Cup final Oxford United scarf. When he did it was one of the most amazing days of my childhood. Then my mum stuck the scarf in the wash because it had a pie stain on it and it washed off. :sad:

    Wow. Am I that bad at sexual jokes? I'd say Moogle is a worthy candidate, too. :heh:

     

    Don't worry Dan, you're not that bad. I don't think anyone could compete with Offerman in terms of sexual harassment/innuendo. He was the main reason this forum was almost female free back in the C-E days.

     

    Today I have been yet again trying to get work done. 38 pages out of 55 done. 17 more to do in 3 days, wooo.

    In my old university house there was a poster of Lucy Pinder in her usual topless form on the inside of the kitchen door. During the day the door was jammed open so you never really noticed it, but at night the kitchen door would be left to swing closed. The result of this was that everytime I went to the toilet in the night I would open the bathroom door and have a heartattack at seeing the poster in the dark. (I would say I crapped myself, but that should have been taken care of in the toilet)

     

    Also yesterday I heard my mum scream after seeing a terrifying figure. It turned out to be Tony Mowbray's face attached to a pillow.

    I'm sat opposite my girlfriend pretending to do work and procrastinating. But you lot keep making me laugh, whether through Kemp-folds, the news thread faggots or Goafer's description of charity work. I can't laugh though or she'll know I'm not working, so I have to hold it in, which makes it worse and I end up looking constipated. You gits.
