ReZourceman Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Y'know you might as well make an "How was your day at HBOS?" thread for the amount you guys talk about it I am not allowed to state the company I work for, so unfortunately I can't tell you if you're wrong. ALSO WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CORRECT YOU IF YOU'RE RIGHT. dude can't you get a better job yet? you've been doing the call centre gig for aaaages. Yeeeaaah I know. I'm chilling at the moment. Gonna hop to the council as soon as theres an opening in that contact centre. Of course I'll be a professional comic book writer soon, so all of this is a moot point really.....

Paj! Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Of course I'll be a professional comic book writer soon, so all of this is a moot point really..... Why don't you do a creative writing course or something? (Unless you already have/are?) I'm hardly one to talk motivation, but if you geuninely want to write stuff, take a step to do so. It seems like it's a "dream" of yours, but that you kinda relegate to the side permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing Jordan's Dismay wasn't given a C-section. SHENANIGANS. A manager (not the one I spoke to) just came round asking about Saturdays. He said to me "Well I can tell you now the contract is flexible" which is bull shit considering....it doesn't say that. At all. I wasn't prepared to argue with him, but yeah. If it comes down to me having to request a copy of what I signed stating that, then so be it, cos' what I've got states the opposite. Once again, everyone please steer clear of this company as much of possible. They're shit in every respect. So they say A, contract says B, how does this figure into your wanting certain Saturdays off because you initially thought it was flexible? Does this pr0 in your favour?

Basically, I originally agreed to 1 in 6 maximum, and they've effectively changed it to 1 in 4/3. I was like "WTF mate" and they seem to be kicking up a fuss.

Or have they just decided to walk up to you and say: "Flexible? Yes." like a smarmy git. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Lecture was average. Watched old school sitcoms. Then went to the student bar for a bit which was the usual nice relaxing Friday chatter. Got the first part of my dissertation analysis back and was ripped to shreds. Oops. I think the problem is I allowed for it to be bastardised because I had an idea and they were like "yeah you're doing this this and this" and I was like "okay...not what I thought but let's go with it..." So I need to write a bridging section and wanted to do that this weekend but im out all weekend with family so will try some tonight. Plus my housemate's boyfriend is increasingly annoying me. Ah well, as is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I'm angry! I just read about the existence of BSG Webisodes set between series 2 and 3, so I looked it up on Youtube. I started to watch one called Face Of The Enemy, only to find out it's set DURING series 4! Cunts on fire. Luckily not too much was revealed except... Earth is "devastated" and Gaeta lost a leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Paj, he actually doesn't relegate it to the side, he's writing it now; drawing, storyboarding, planning and all that jaz. Of course he can't spend all his time on it, he has a job and a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience and stuff. It's rare to turn up and present a product to someone and expect them to lap it up, no matter what the quality is, without experience of some form..

I'm not gonna pretend to know much about becoming a comic writer, but other than having work to show, I don't see what experience you can provide. Granted, a course may be really useful to develop skills, but if you showed them something amazing and proved your talent, I doubt Image would care if you've done a course.

Ganepark32 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Had a single tutorial today at 1pm for an hour so should have been home by about 3.45pm. Didn't get home till about half an hour ago Myself and two others from my english tutorial group, who happen to be a couple, went for food and drinks together and for a few games of pool. Really nice time actually, even if I did feel like the third wheel and felt really out of place when they kept being all lovey-dovey. May see about making it a more permanent feature for my friday afternoons. Unfortunately I couldn't stay any longer because I don't live in Dundee and they were going to Bingo and were egging me on to come with them but I couldn't as I didn't have a place to stay. Will have to look into sorting that out for after the summer as it sucks not doing able to stay out long with friends. So only just been in the house for a short time and I've just sorted dinner. Got a bunch of Richard Pryor dvds to watch so that's my evening right there Will be up early tomorrow to start work on my english essay. Was looking forward to doing it but not now but I'll get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantsu Man! Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I've been working non stop since 12pm bar the small breaks to check emails and look for tutorials. What I'm doing now is a little bit fun but it's extremely long and slightly tedious. If there was a quick fix it'd save me so much time. But right now I don't know of/can't find one. I've got my next 2 days and 3 hours all planned out so I might be able to get it all done IF all goes well and I can do what I want to do with the program not limiting me.

Fierce_LiNk Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Today is...like pulling teeth. Very, very painful. Why do I get the feeling that I am wasting my time? I've spent most of today playing some guitar, and DS. Advance Wars, hehe. Also, been learning Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult.

Did you plan any time for sleep? Mine should be okay now, as long as I don't hit a major problem (but I don't think I will now). I need to get up in the middle of the night to change the render to different scenes, but that's not too bad. Today is...like pulling teeth. Very, very painful.

I need to get up in the middle of the night to change the render to different scenes, but that's not too bad. It's not a time plan. It's just a plan of what I need to do. I've no idea how long each will take. It'll take as long as it takes is my motto, so I'll keep doing it until it's done. This is only when I'm under pressure. Haha. 6 second walk cycle is now done! I just need to get a camera in, some lights and trees and hopefully it'll look good. All that's left on the plan for today is to do another walk animation. This one took about 4 hours. σ_σ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I thought you were learning bass, traitor. I have a sexy bass, named Betsy the Bass. And also, a guitar, which is unnamed. I equally suck at both. Oh man, even pornstars have never sucked this much before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
