jayseven Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Had a phone interview earlier today for a crummy call centre job. Woes are me. Easy money fo'shiz. While I was at uni, specifically the last few years, I really felt like I'd done the wrong course completely. Some of my very good friends that I made through juggling were training to be mental health nurses and they repeatedly said I'd be good at it (due to philosophy/psychotherapy type chats), so today I looked at the course they did and sent an email to the uni. So yeah... first steps taken towards perhaps maybe going back to uni to do a 2-year diploma that will pretty much guarentee me a decent-paid job. It's one of those insane life-changing/breaking decisions that I've, really, not made yet... but yeah. Fact is my life is completely aimless right now and it's the root of all that is wrong with me.
EddieColeslaw Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 jay - I once heard this quote: "not having a goal is a dangerous thing in life". I think even short-term goals lend so much more meaning and purpose to everyday life. Two years will fly by! If you think the course/resulting job is right for you, do iiiitttt! Also good luck re:call centre job! -- Didn't have to work, played piano aaaaaall day (psssst over here), prompting my mum to ask "how can you sit there and play for hours like that?".

Also good luck re:call centre job! Yup, not having some sort of goal in your life, something to strive towards - however small - can really make everything seem pointless.
MoogleViper Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 1 under par? i.e. not good enough. (Lol) But well done. Obviously I couldn't hope to get within 100 of par so... 1 under par is better than par. I know you're joking but I'm not entirely sure if you understood that.
ReZourceman Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I did know that, however I DID misunderstand your post anyway. :p
Frank Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I feel in touch with nature. So much. Cycled for ages in my lonesome today. All my friends were busy. Usually I love to cycle with 1, 2, maybe 3 others. Alone time. Just what I need -- bleurgh. Still enjoyable. I sat on a road for 20+ minutes and wrote a poem. Not a soul passed by. As I returned the phone to its warm pocket a car passed by. Like a higher-force was protecting me. Making sure no-one distracted me while I composed my poem. Not the first time. Guardian Angels are watching. Leaves are so green.
Dyson Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I'm on my way to London to go play some unreleased Nintendo games for work. Woe is me..

S.C.G Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I'm on my way to London to go play some unreleased Nintendo games for work. Woe is me.. Don't forget to play Xenoblade Chronicles... ... or else... ... you'll have not played it, which would be a pity, no?
Charlie Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Got with a hot girl I've liked for ages last night - BOOM! Hoping to see her again soon, when she eventually replies to my tex!
Dyson Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Don't forget to play Xenoblade Chronicles... ... or else... ... you'll have not played it, which would be a pity, no? This was pretty much the only game I didn't play. And Days of Ruin I think it was? I saw it there but it was quite busy with only 1 demo stand so I played a Japanese demo of Kirby's Mass Attack which was opposite it and proceeded to get my mind blown I've got a writeup of the 3DS stuff in the 3DS thread here and will write about Zelda and Kirby and the other bits and bobs elsewhere later on. Basically, it was a GLORIOUS day. HERE B PIX. Outside! Theming! And THE BEST game booth of the event (seriously I was blown away by how good it was): You know you're at a Nintendo event when the first thing you see upon entering the demo room is a dim white room with mood highlights everywhere Edited July 20, 2011 by Dyson

Goafer Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Today I learnt how to make pixel art in Photoshop. Probably doing it the really long way, but I figured out my own way, all on my lonesome. Now I'm going to bed, it's far too late.
Daft Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 How? I use Illustrator. That's how I made my Tron Legacy Daft Punk.

Eenuh Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 How? I use Illustrator. That's how I made my Tron Legacy Daft Punk. When I made pixel art I simply used Microsoft Paint. =P
Ashley Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Dyson how long were you at the thing for? My housemate went last night (and I went day before) so you may have been in the same place at the same time. Yesterday was fuuun. Graduation. Was good seeing most people again. Unlike our undergraduate graduation whereby we had some honorary graduate speaking for at least 30 minutes about pots (he made them) this time we had interesting people! And they had jokes! And also one of them was this: I saw him come into the building and though "that looks like -- it can't be" but it turns out it was. Nice to have a bit of Pulp in the middle of graduation. Anyway afterwards did the photo stuff, went for a meal with my family and drifted along southbank with them for a while. Then they went home and I met some classmates at a pub. Then we went to our usual Vietnamese for karaoke then to another pub. Good day
nightwolf Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 The cats are finally getting on :p phew! Ohmygosh kitty got big! They look adorable together. Finally managed to catch up on sleep, being awake during the day is a bit weird. But I'll get used to it.
Goafer Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) How? I use Illustrator. That's how I made my Tron Legacy Daft Punk. It's probably a really stupid/long way of doing it, but I have a 16x16 grid of rulers saved as a template. I then use the shape tool to place squares where I want the pixels. Because the rulers are there, squares just lock to those. I do all of one colour at a time (eg all the black pixels) so that I can fill them when I'm done. Because all this is a shape and not a selection, I can apply a stroke (border) round them to separate out the pixels. This is the grid: And this is a quick end result: The pixels have a black border round them, even if the background colour changes. Alternatively, I could have set the stroke/border to "eraser" and have the pixel gaps match the background for shirts or whatever. I can adjust the width and color of the border if need be, but I wouldn't want to change from black or see through. Edited July 21, 2011 by Goafer
ReZourceman Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Lawl. My senior from HBOS applied for the same role that I got (she applied a few months ago) and didn't get it. Lawl. Job is going great. Love the people.
Happenstance Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Sold my first t-shirt on Redbubble today. I can only assume this is the first on the path to millionairedome
