"hi,
on top of the current marking that you are doing for assignment 1 which is 16 hours of marking. We would also like to assign you 34 hours of marking for assignment 2.
Are you willing to do this?"
GO AWAY UNIVERSITY I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS

No, I just have to turn it down. Although giving up ~$1400 feels bad, the reality is I have 5 assignments and a literature review over the next like, 4 weeks, in addition to implementing my thesis which needs to be done within 6-7 weeks or so, in addition to a casual job as a waiter, a casual job as a tutor for the university (includes marking for two more prac tests over the next couple of weeks), and attending lectures / studying for exams etc.
There's also GAF. I am going to fucking die.

Looking goodJust got home a little while ago with my new septum piercing. Love it. Makes your eyes water getting that sucker done too.
Yes, I know I need a haircut, that's on the cards for tomorrow or Friday. I was also much happier than I appear.
hurt that bad huh. I guess it has to go through some pretty thick skin there. Oooh! Let's go see something in 3D there!

maybe be unavailable for the waiter and tutor jobs and do the 34 hours of marking?
Looking good
Thanks!
It did sting but not that bad, my ears were far worse. Though with the watering eyes I didn't mean from the pain, it just makes your eyes water like pulling a nostril hair, happens to everyone.My piercer asked what next and I said probably nipples. He said they're pretty nasty (some say the most painful piercing there is) and if both are getting done, they have two people do one nipple each to reduce the duration of the pain. The thing with two piercings of the same type in succession (like lobes and nipples) is that the second one always hurts more. No idea why, it's just a thing that happens.

Tutoring is technically casual but actually a fixed 5hrs / week for 13 weeks. I have two regular classes and it's very bad form to suddenly drop out of doing it for three weeks.
I've been turning down the waitering stuff but I don't want to turn down too much lest they stop calling on me at all.

Ugh. Fucking exhausted after the last three days of work. Totally going to bludge Thursday and Friday. At least as much as I can.
Aaaand GTA V get hype.
Good show! How did it end up? Looks really great.PPS.
Are there any games you don't enjoy despite their rough edges?
Can't wait to find out what its successor is called. The Xbox Infinity +1? Xbox Googleplex? Xbox Gazillion? Xbox Compuhyperglobalmeganet?

Sounds like a plan!

oooh, I didn't even think of that! That's actually kind of funny. One of my friends got her nipples done and apparently they didn't hurt that bad (especially not compared to the rook). Have you thought about getting more ear ones? I'm considering it once mine are healed and I can sleep properly on my right side again.
So is yo momma, gonna try that out?
Thanks! Grew it myself.
Sorry.
Ah yes, a cartilage piercing, meant to be quite painful (but like most piercings, it's so brief it's almost irrelevant). When people talk about painful septum piercings, it's because the piercer hit the cartilage.
I do want some more piercings in my ear, starting with the helix. Unfortunately, my motorcycle helmet going on and off would just piss them off royally. Cartilage piercings are notoriously slow healers (6-8 months before jewellery change, 12 months to be fully healed) and are easily aggravated. A poor combination.
I remember you had some ear piercings done, which ones do you have?

Yeah I got a cartilage one. It was like.. 8 weeks ago and I still have to be careful not to bump it when I put a shirt on (still hurts a bit). I imagine it would be awful with a helmet on. They do look great though
I dunno, tattoos aren't that bad. I'd consider getting one if I wasn't awful with pain and didn't want to work in Asia.

Which one? Was it the rook?
I like tragus piercings, but I don't think you can use earphones with them, which sucks.
Honestly could not be any happier. I started off adding what I thought was a shitload of everything (spice/flavour-wise) and at one stage thought it was WAY too hot, but I think it was just that I didn't have enough of the other flavours to taste anything other than the chili. Best thing is though, is now I don't have to go and buy most of those ingredients again, so obviously it'll be way cheaper next batch (whereas with that I had to buy basically everything).
Only problem is that it feels a little *too* acidic. Plopped some sour cream on it tonight for my first official meal of it (last night was only teaspoons of taste-testing) and I suspect that's balanced it out a little, but nowhere near enough.
Had heaps of fun making it, though. Thanks for your pointers! Managed to get a good five servings out of it (probably could be one or two more, but I only bought 5 plastic Chinese food containers) so that should last me the rest of the week (will be dropping some off to my folks tonight for them to have a crack).

Noooo, after my friend's comments I don't think I'll ever get a rook. They look cool, but maybe not worth it. Tragus piercings kind of gross me out for some reason, but they can look really cute depending on the earring. I'd kind of like an industrial, but I've seen a lot of people who have saggy ears because of it :/ It also makes ear licks difficult, which would be a bit sad.
Right now I only have these:
My ear's all red cause I had to cover it in sticky bandage stuff for work. Taking it off is kind of awful.

Kfc. I look ridiculous with this huge bandaid over my ear.
That's an interesting placement for a helix piercing, most often I see them much higher. If it's that low, it's usually an antihelix/snug piercing or more commonly a conch piercing which is very cool too. Please don't take this as me knocking it, I'm just saying it's unique and I like it
Are you thinking of running some piercings along there between it and you lobe piercings?Obviously, whatever piercing you want next is entirely up to you, however, I think you might like the look of a forward helix piercing (or maybe more than one, they look especially rad when there's three). Industrials are awesome too of course, plenty of choice out there on how to do those.

PS3 ports. GTA4 and Bayonetta were not enjoyable.
Also that Rugby game.

thanks, it makes me happy to hear someone likes my piercing. I was actually thinking about putting a chain between the upper two, though it catching on stuff is a bit of a concern. Forward helixes look awesome! I might go get a couple, I think they'd work well. Do you know how painful those would be?

Great news.

I think a chain would be a worry, especially with a cartilage piercing involved, I'd imagine it'd be quite angry if it got caught. Best to chat to your piercer about this.
As for the forward helix, I would imagine it'd be about the same as your helix piercing, on my ears the cartilage there is thinner than that in my helix but there is much more skin. I don't think the pain would be anything to worry about too much, I haven't experienced so I can't say for sure; there's always the saline right after the piercing to look forward to, goddamn that feels so good.

Will last 6 months before they come crawling back. Warner's service will go by the WAIside.
Comes and goes for me, had it for years. Happens more often when I'm tired or had too much caffeine. I can go months without it happening though. Any changes to your diet? Could be some kind of irritation too.
How's your sleep? Or stress?
I've had this and the cause can be a number of things, caffeine like rep said, stress, lack of sleep and some other things. I've also read it can be vitamin deficiency of some kind, which I thought had an easy fix (like eat a banana or something) but I can't find it .
It shouldn't be doing it for so long, if it keeps going on or gets worse, probably best to see a GP.

Eat a banana is great advice regardless of the symptoms.
Surprisingly good hangover cure too!

Haha, I was thinking of editing that into my post. Just eat a banana anyway. Great minds!
Yea, probably combination of lack of sleep, too much time in front of computer.
Could be caffeine too, only ever drink coffee at work, usually 1 a day and have only been working in my job since mid November.
I'll change it up a bit and see how it goes.
I was sitting in a training session for a piece of software last week and it started during that.
Weird that it should happen now though as I'm feeling better than I have for a long time, due to my footy team of course.
Nothing better than being one of the 2 or 3 Port members in an office full of crow supporters.
