Did that for two months after I finished high-school. My thoughts: you get so much more time (obviously); missing sleeps absolutely wrecks you; as a result of this, it can be annoying to plan around sleeps; you very quickly gain the ability to fall asleep in odd places within minutes.

The main issue I found was that it just isn't worth it. Given that society at large still works around an 8 hour sleep schedule, it's not as if you're going to be able to go hang out with mates at 4:30am with any regularity. Though I guess that working as a writer where you work from home it could be a bit more feasible.

I tried that once a few years ago. Managed to do it for about 2 weeks. The problem wasn't being able to wake/stay up, but the very strict schedule you need to keep for naps, and not being able to do things that come up spur of the moment because your nap time is coming up. e.g. social events, hanging out with friends. Also, impossible to do if you are employed and don't work at home.

Now that this has reminded me, I might try an Everyman or Biphasic sleep pattern, which have a longer core nap with less short naps and are more easily achievable while working. I seem to only be getting about 4-6 hours during the week as it is, so that might help me be less tired throughout the day. I also seem to be able to sleep on command on the train, so should be fairly easy to transition into.

Good luck, Serrels!

I want a tag give me a tag
I like their old stuff better than their new stuff (remix) too.

But really, I do enjoy their new new stuff, mish mash is a wonderful album and love and paranoia certainly has its highlights.

Saying polyester girl is their best song.. Youngin.

Heck my fave song of theirs is probably a tie between my friend robot and I like repetative music and black bugs :)

I think I did that once, though in that case it was mostly because they called me [applicant name]. Probably better not to though :p

Anyone here know about buying Korean version CD's of Japanese artists.
The prices seem too cheap to be legit like they are bootleg.

Call or send an email to thank them for the time and ask where you could improve on. You could frame it "do you have any suggestions if I wanted to apply with you again in the future?" or similar.

Ask for a quick meeting if you can, and give them back a marked and corrected rejection letter.

Better luck next time jintor.

Nah, I think it gets a lot colder than that up in the mountains :p

Damn poor Fogz. I'm so glad I've escaped most of the Canberra winter. Left on the 20th of May and coming back early August. So I nearly missed the whole winter!

I never had to deal with such thick frost on my car until I came to Canberra. I need to get a bucket or something.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I'd regularly have do deal with my car being a frozen iceblock in the morning. I would just spend an extra 5 or 10 minutes warming up the heater inside and letting it melt off :) I've since gotten a new place with a garage so I am pretty sweet now.

Upon a future application for a job at <company name>, what areas would you suggest I improve on to ensure I land a job at <company name>? I am very interested in self-improvement through constructive criticism so this would really help.

Sincerely yours, Jintor.

PS. Learn how to spell, heathen.

'thanks for taking the time to see me etc'

Agreed. Even if you sucked, because you never know who you'll see popping up in the future who may just remember you.

... Unless you took a dump on their desks or something. Then maybe you don't want them to remember you.

^^^^^ I think the 99.5 is ranking so it means that people are ahead of her?

Because it totally matters what score you had once you reach university.


Edit: Ugh. Choc'n the shit outta this thread.

Edit2: LA Noire is already getting boring, can I just do the searching for clues and interview bits please?

I'm confused, why is she complaining now?


Ms Wong, 21, has hyper joint mobility of the wrist. She received some rest breaks during the exam.

pfft. I have this and I didn't get rest breaks. Do you think I can complain to my school about not getting an OP1?

There's nothing wrong with them. You just have to settle for not being a true fan, and the fact that the artist will hate you!

Seriously though, it's fine. Any version outside of japan (korean, taiwan, hong kong etc) is a lot cheaper due to the way the japanese price their media. Just don't buy from ebay, those are most likely bootleg/ stolen promos. Yes-asia is a good place for international versions.

during my HSC i had two exams on one day that were essay heavy

each had 3 essays to write, about 20 A4 pages each (legal studies etc )


my hand was fucking DEAD that night. As legend says, everyones hand gets sore

If she had to write 60 A4 pages, i feel sorry for her. If not, seriously 99.5!

I'm going to indulge in some real dumb hyperbole here, like Choc tier, but it seems incredibly backwards that there's no typing option for contemporary exams.

The only Choc tier hyperbole in that post is the suggestion that it contains Choc tier hyperbole. I think you're right. Surely it would make markers lives easier too.

Amazing Spider-Man was pretty cool. Emma Stone is a cutie.

In Scotland, they were allowing people to write English exams with text speak at one point.

When I wrote the post it was more akin to "the lack of an option to type is practically a human rights violation" but then I removed that because it was silly, forgot about the disclaimer xD

I'm not complaining, it gave me the opportunity to make a "this statement is false" style sentence. If the suggestion that it contains Choc tier hyperbole is Choc tier hyperbole, then it isn't Choc tier hyperbole!
