Goafer Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I forgot the most awesome part of my day. I think I'm developing super powers. I'm getting electric shocks off of everything and when I rub my hair, it crackles with static. Next stop:
jayseven Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 - Just bought my ex some presents for her birthday from Firebox. - Spent way too much - Another website (IWOOT) won't accept my card when trying to buy my mother birthday gifts - Looks like I'm going to town tomorrow - Time for cider, UFC, Bones and Dark Tower!
Jimbob Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 My second interview is tomorrow at 10:30am. As it is part of this "Future Jobs Fund" i'm not expecting much. Just the usual questions, get told "we'll be in touch" and not bother doing so.

Raining_again Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ Boss said we could be relocating again, after only having been here 6 months, they are considering another move. Completely shit. Its in carrick, which is 30 miles away. One of the guys already travels 15miles in the other direction, so it'll be 45 for him. I think they are determined to destroy all of the staff morale, or get rid of us. So I gotta travel 30 miles for crappy pay, or travel no miles with no pay.. HALP
Jimbob Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 You can re-add me to the "employed" list. Interview went so well today that they offered me the job 3 hours later. I'm now an Admin/Call person working in Gaer, Newport. Start on Monday, 5 hours a day 5 days a week. Take home about £150 p/w. £100 more than the dole.
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Well done, Jimbob. Today has been ok. My Dad's Sister had two brain hemorrhage's last night in Pakistan and so he flew out today to go and see her. She's in her 70s, and is very old and weak. I got into work today and did a spelling test with a mixed class of year 4 pupils (from my class), year 5 pupils and year 6 ones. They were being noisy (not my lot, because they know my rules now) so I had to ask for quiet quite a few times. Then, the break-time bell went, and the rest of my class were waiting outside to come whilst my spelling class were still being noisy. So, I erupted and let them have it, haha. Told them all that they will need to come back and finish this at dinnertime because they were all too loud and noisy, and there is no way I would let my class miss some of their breaktime due to them. (they needed to come in and put their spelling books away, and put their pencils back and stuff - and also I was on duty). So, dinnertime came around and I let the ones from my class finish the test in class, because they weren't the ones I was referring to when I erupted. Then, the year 5 pupils came and finished their test. But, the year 6 pupils didn't come! I had a little chat with their class teacher, and even saw one of the boys because he had to bring around the register in the afternoon, so I let him have it as well, haha. There was definitely a look of oh-shit when he gave me the register. In the afternoon, we had Science, where the pupils were learning about Sound. So, I got a guitar from the music cupboard and played a few little choons for them. Some Johnny Cash, a bit of Mumford and Sons and Beat It. They now think I'm their God. It was a nice little afternoon, hehe. They seemed to take the information in, and we learned a lot using some nifty websites and stuff. I taught them about how Sound travels and educated them about good music at the same time. Now, gym. Then, Silent Hill.

ReZourceman said: http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m20/ReZourceman/Adventurepwned.jpg The inclusion of "Not as sad as your face." detracts any form of humour which might've been there. There wasn't any.

No wonder Raiden looks pissed off. I was loving the sun today, working down in a basement I never get to see much of it, but now I have I really feel just peachy. Makes up for the weekend where I went to see James Chance and Les Contortions in London with my dad. James Chance was legendary and I even got to shake the hand of the man himself, but then I got utterly wrecked, lost about 3 hours of memory, possibly had a drunken arguement with my dad, had my wallet nicked and we ended up stranded in London until 6:30 in the morning. So a night of ups and downs. Also Flink, you sound like the teachers I loved at school.

Paj! Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Had driving lesson. Was really good at said driving, I'm not even going to lie. Went to cinema out of my way, yet the only one my friends seem to want to go to as the meeting place of choice. Took 2 buses, though I worked out it's really just a single bus ride and a 10 minute walk away, I just never knew. Saw Alice In Wonderland 3-D. Unimpressed. Went for a pizza-based dinner at MAMA'S in Grassmarket. Left prematurely (we'd finished eating though) to meet friend who's down for the weekend. Played Marvel Nemesis and watched Battlestar Galactica (he's a convert), adding our own commentary at certain points. Possibly the best way to have me in hysterics. Like when we saw the last Indiana Jones, we were lolling at our own version of the script. He gave me Buffy Season 4, I gave him BSG Season 2. Now the sky is like a bread roll, soaking in a milk bowl. The bread broke, fell in bricks of wet smoke.

SPAMBOT4000 Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 I'm currently in Spytty Tesco car park waiting for the lady to finish work. An old woman has tried and failed 5 times to reverse park her sports car neatly into the bay in front of me. There are no other cars around. She keeps getting out, orbitting her car before getting in for another shot. I'm pissing myself laughing and I don't think it's helping. I'm so bored.
soag Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Having a major clearout to raise cash for the honey moon and try to law my way back into the red. Got rid of a lot of cds and dvds and have made just over 500 quid . Got some metallica vinyls on ebay currently going for £150 with 4 days to go, so hopefully I'll get enough at the end of the week to afford disneyland. Going to start clearing out my nintendo collection now .
buser100 Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Hi today is very slow day for me i am at work my and not much to do today. i am counting minutes by minutes. how's yours?
Ashley Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 My week in bullet point (or hyphen point even) format: - Monday - Nan found out she had a heart attack a few weeks ago. Also the day (night) of a coincidentally arranged family meal. Was...dramatic. Then again, all my family gatherings are. - One student didn't turn up for 3 lectures. Bastard. And he didn't tell me until the last minute for each. - Thus, on Thursday in an attempt to make my days seem less wasted I went to play snooker with a friend. Normally I'm bad but I was just awful. Weird. Ah well, I play for fun anyway. - Meeting on Tuesday confirmed I'm on track with this research thing. Always nice to know. Although the supervisor (who I'd never met before) kept giving me odd looks. Douche chill. - Tried to get in touch with schools and colleges for this research. A few have said no, a few haven't replied, one have confirmed and I'm going to see on Tuesday and one said it'll be okay, just need to arrange. Thus, next week involves going here there and everywhere. Thank god for claimable travel expenses. - Been looking forward to this day off for...about a month. And now I'm bored. I wish I had people nearby I could do fun things with, or even just "hang". - My knees seem to be broke...collapsing under the weight of my own awesomeness I'm guessing. - Even though I knew I wouldn't hear anything back about this postgrad until at least this coming Monday every day I've been wondering if I'll get a letter (damn snail mail!) - Sent the wedding DVDs off last Saturday, yet to hear anything. Had a dream last night and in it I bumped into the groom and he said the bride was really dissatisfied with the photos. FEARS CREEPING IN TO DREAMS! Damn Freud. - My brother said I'm like a robot with my emotions. I laughed. [Arrested Development reference] - In Tescos queue. Me: "I'm going to pick up some chips, can you pick me up from the chip shop that is [vague directions] please?" Mom's partner Jason: "I don't know where that is..." Me: "Opposite the sex shop." Jason: "Oh okay. Yeah see you there." Cashier laughs. - Asked my recently dumped friend "What are you going to do now that you're Colin Firth?" He didn't get it. Damn. - Also (in a different conversation) explained to him the joys of going into sex shops with a loud female to make the clientèle uneasy. Really is a lot of fun. By and large the week.
EEVILMURRAY Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Went out last night, a bar a mate and I went to had some old school games. So we had a fair few games of Connect 4 and Guess Who. Some chap dropped £15 and I used my "Wallet Drop" technique to pick it up. The owner [i think] started looking at the ground shortly afterwards so I made a swift retreat, we were going anyway. Naturally ended up at the casino. I came out just £5 up. Could've left with more but buckled.
