Wesley Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I found out today one of the reasons a particular company didn't get back to me in relation to placement; I forgot to add my cover letter... CV check, application form check... but forgot the cover letter. Gutted that I just completely forgot something so important, but half happy because loads of other people got contacted back... so I just thought I was ultra-poo or something. Turns out I'm just super-stupid!

Even if its just unpaid at the moment where possible do a few hours so they know who you are and stuff so during holidays you can work more? No chance I'm doing this one unpaid (especially since I can negotiate my wage). University takes priority but the money and the experience together make sense. I'm going to call tomorrow and see if I can do a Friday and a couple afternoons and the weekend. We'll see. Not expecting anything. If I can't do it I might recommend my friend. She'd be ace at it. Although I doubt she needs a job.

Chris the great Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 returned to the gym today, after 6 months. inital faf with the women at the counter chatting and not paying attention to me. i said 3 times me card had expired, yet the woman still goes "eeeeeh, did you know your membership has expired?" then she asked if i could afford to renew it despite me assuring her i could and having the money ready. still, her stupdity got me student membership despite me having been graduated for 18 months. gym did ruain my body, but tbh, its a complete tear down thats needed any way.
Wesley Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Ahhh, the gym! I signed up in September and I've been 3 times. Woo!
Chris the great Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 my strength is down, my stamina is down, my speed is down. thankfully my mental attitude is ok, can still push my self pretty damn far, which is what im going to have to do if i want to get back in shape before swim suit season!
Jon Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Suppose to be having surgery on wednesday to get my Wisdom teeth removed. However, the surgeons secretary phoned me earlier telling me it might be cancelled as he has had an emergency case that might require surgery. I need to phone tomorrow for confirmation. I'm kinda in two minds whether having it delayed is good or bad. On the good side, i'm on holiday from this week; so I can enjoy that now. On the bad side, I'd rather just get it over with and there's also the fact that i'm not sure how long it would be delayed for.

Fair dos. I've decided to try and do something about the weight I've gained since being at uni. It's obviously because I no longer work (I had a manual labour job) and now sit at a desk shoving food into my greedy-fucking-mouth. So I no longer buy obscene amounts of rubbish, eat fruit and have started doing exercise. Might not drop off as such... considering I'm only half-bothered about it really... but, still.

Might not drop off as such... considering I'm only half-bothered about it really... but, still. i lost a fair bit of wait at uni when i went on a diet. i cut out most of the meat from my diet, bought less callorie ridden snacks and didnt eat after 9. theres an old wifes tale about putting on more weight after 9, but to be honest, it just stops you snacking out of bordom.

The Bard Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Well, the eating after nine rule has more to do with not wanting food being processed in your digestive tract while you're sleeping, because you're not using much energy, so it's being stored as fat. As for less meat: protein is actually more difficult to break down into its constituent amino acids than other long chain molecules are to break down into their constituent parts (Carbohydrates into disaccharides...monosaccharides etc), which means for the amount you eat, there is really much less of a calorie content. That and the fact that protein, unlike starch and lipids, isn't a storage compound really...so its obv... Ok, I think you get the point. Good luck with the lady. May you sow the seeds for many Chris the greats to come.
Slaggis Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Really average day, but looking forward to the next few days. Spending the day/night with Chris tomorrow, then Alex is coming up on Friday for a few days. I'm so excited to see her again. We'll be going to some Sheffield Uni end of exams thing on the Friday night and then a school themed Headphone Disco thing on the Saturday. Cannot wait.
Marshmellow Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 This didn't necessarily happen today..but I don't think creating a whole new thread to express my enthusiasm was necessary. Anyway, I got accepted to Seattle University and University of Manchester! Those were my top two choices for colleges so I'm very excited and proud of myself, now I just gotta make a decision..
The Bard Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Manchester as in, UK? It's my hometown. Seattle is a damn fine city too...nice work.
Marshmellow Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Yess sir Manchester, UK. I've never been there, but I've heard nothing but good and beautiful comments about it. On the other side though I absolutely love downtown Seattle... So it'll be tough.
Ashley Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 I'm not a big fan of Manchester. There, a negative Nah its okay and I've not spent enough time in it but it didn't 'grip' me the way some other cities do. Congrats on the offers though I FORGOT TO SET MY ALARM! Thankfully I woke up about an hour later anyway and still had time to get ready (and waste time on here evidentially...) but not enough time to watch the new Mother Which is why I was waking up so early.

Eenuh Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Ahh just got back from the dentist, again! Was a painful affair again. She didn't want to give me the same injection she did last time (it failed and she had to give it 3 times), so she gave me a more local one. But it's not as strong apparently cause it huuuuurt when she drilled in my tooth. ='( But on the plus side now I don't have to go back until October/November for a check-up, yay! Though I'll probably forget about it and not go for a year or two, resulting in lots of stuff that needs to be taken care of, as always. =P Also arranging friends to stay over on Thursday (like an early birthday party thingie for me and a friend), though it's taking ages to get it all arranged haha. Deciding on what food to eat is hard. X3

Seriously? last time I was there I was harassed on god knows how many occasions because I had the hint of a Scottish accent and offered sex on one occasion by some prostitute that looked older than my own mother at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I vow never to go back for as long as I live.
nightwolf Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Manchester is just like any other city, it has its extremely bad parts but it can also be pretty fucking awesome too. I love manchester, I wanted to go to uni there but the course they offered me wasn't what I was after. Boo. Today is just argh, I had to clean the kitchen for a viewing, which is fine, pew pew, but my housemate copped out and cleaned the bathroom which was practically clean anyway. Had to force her boyfriend to help me do the bloody recycling and bin, shouldn't.have.to.ask. Anyway, if he did things like that regularly I wouldn't have a problem. Ho hum. But yes last night was good, shame I left so early, got headache this morning I just can't seem to shift and I've got class at half 2, oh noes.
