That's why a link I can just spam every so often to their Twitter account will be enough for me. It will just be a nice way to get it out of my system.

Thing is, you see someone you don't know and you can only judge them from the outside in. You can't even begin to understand or know what their personal life is like from their appearance alone. For all you know, and this is mere speculation, he could be the victim of bullying, domestic abuse, his family could be going through shit, maybe they feel isolated from the world. Unfortunately it's now too late to try and help him but, speaking from experience, you have to pay attention to the small details and, if possible, offer help. Either way, it's a tragic loss.
Some salty dildo nearly ran me over at a zebra crossing and had the arse to thank me as I stepped back to avoid getting killed by him. Slow the fuck down when someone is crossing. Dude probably only thanked me to avoid his 5th hit and run this month. Looked like he was having a natter down his phone too.
Funking prink.

Man this day is fucking awkward.
I took yesterday off and made some bullshit excuse. Now I'm back and everyone I work with has noticed the bruise and scuffs on the bridge of my nose but has said nothing. I'm going about my business like usual but everyone is avoiding eye contact and direct conversation. I had the opportunity in the morning to address it but I thought "if they want to know they can ask". Clearly that was the wrong attitude because, judging by the sheepish uncomfortable looks on their faces, they've probably assumed the worst, like I have an abusive relative, or loansharks came to visit or some shit. I know I should just set the record straight but I don't feel like making a scene and I'd rather not have to quietly tell the same story to seven co workers individually. It's frustrating.
All this because some hot crumpet couldn't resist my charms. I'm telling you guys, having maxed out Charisma points has its downsides.

Yeah, you should probably spill the beans at the nearest available opportunity 
I'm still legitimately upset I missed that.

Oh my god.
O2 really are a shower of cunts.
I'm trying to cancel my simplicity plan and the insurance, it's taking forever and they keep offering me new 'deals'.
They really have gotten shit.

Couldn't agree more. O2 are trying to charge me £125 for the time I didn't have my phone for phonecalls and messages sent during that period, even though they KNOW I didn't have the phone yet, apparently, I'm still accountable for it. I'm refusing to pay it out of principle.
I'm loving my z1 but I find the battery life a bit disappointing :/
Mine's been erratic. At first it needed a charge every night, then it started to need charges mid day. Thankfully it's got a bit better now, only needing to be charged every 36 - 48 hours. Still, an upgraded battery would have been nicer.
You still using aviate? I found that to be a real hog on the battery front.
I am actually, have been the whole time. Maybe I'll go without for a while
I reckon you'll see quite an improvement.
Had my job interview. Turns out I'll be working for Google customer support.
Only thing I'm worrying about is if I get it, I need to supply two references one of which is previous work. I can't use my last employer as I was fired, and Blockbuster probably won't exist by the time I start.
Uh oh. Goddamnit.

Do they know you were fired at the new job?
Nope. I said I left on bad terms.
Being fired for gross misconduct isn't the best thing for an employer to know about, really.

If you want you can use me as a reference, I've done it for friends before. Pm if you're interested.
Hmmmmm sounds interesting. Not sure how you'd manage it? Let me know via pm if you want.
I just got a phone call anyhow, I've got the job. Wahay! In regards to references, I will contact blockbuster tomorrow and see if they can send a reference out. If there is anyone left at their head office, that is.

Just had a haircut, my face can breathe the free air again. Feels as good as ripping off a scab or getting sleep out from the corner of my eye in the morning!
Good luck! Are you going to be working directly for Google or fielding calls for a subcontractor?

As to references, wasn't there anyone at your last place you got on well with? It doesn't have to be a company representative.
War Peaceman
You're a big guy.
Out of curiosity, what do you write for the reference? I've been asked to do one for someone and I don't know where to start.

Now I'm curious, what's your niece's present?
Congrats dude, really happy for you
Never write a bad reference. If the person was an awful employee and you honestly can't say anything nice, don't give a reference at all.
Just general stuff usually, that they were a good hard working employee, always punctual and worked well with others, blah blah blah.
Argh!
Fielding for a subcontractor. Even so, it's a good salary, nice location and I get loads of holiday and a gym membership.
And regarding the reference...I'm going to get them to send a reference to my old store and get my old duty manager to write me one. We get on really well still.
