I dunno Sploatee but I get the sense you'll be still waiting considering that I lack the motivation to post any good songs this morning as I'm in too deep at work and most of it is going over my head.

Needing to create a music playlist for a flatwarming party this saturday. Any recommendations? I'm not going for a specific genre but definitely something cheerful/chilled/laid back/cool. None of this depressing "crawling in my skin/ only women bleeds" shit...oh and no PUMP UP THE JAM House/Trance BASS IN YOUR FACE LONDON glowsticks shit either.

Expecting greatness from Acrid and Ninj.
Hmmm based on the criteria maybe the new Bonobo EP? I really like the title track Flashlight on it.

By the way I saw People Under The Stairs last Friday with a couple buds, was pretty solid they gave out free limited live LPs.

Oh and I have the chance to see either Amon Tobin or Bluetech this Friday as my birthday gift to myself. Which do I go with? I was leaning towards Amon but I've known Bluetech for years and they could be cool.
Hahahahahaaha.

You wait till I get into INXS!
No joke I like them. :/

I need to vent.

On Monday I had to relay some information to one of our teams working on a phone campaign. I went over and said to everyone in the team in a light-hearted manner: "Listen up, Phone Monkeys!" and proceeded to relay said information. I've often referred to myself as a Phone Monkey numerous times on the phone to customers and in conversation with others in the office.

I get in this morning and get called into the office and told that one of the team took the day off Tuesday because she was so upset about it.

The team member in question makes digs at me ALL THE FUCKING TIME (for example, she called me a misogynist two days after joining because I jokingly referred to Sleeping Beauty as a “lazy bint”) and I've never mentioned anything she has said to anyone but the wife. Whenever she comes up in conversation during management meetings I am nothing but complimentary about her, her skills and the value to the team. I’m also really bloody nice to her despite her sniping. I say one jovial line to EVERYONE IN THE FREAKING TEAM (not just her) and she's crying about it in the office, takes a day off, and I get a face full of shit.

I'm absolutely fuming. I’m never fuming.

To be honest with you, I don't blame her at all. Comparing humans to monkeys is one of the most offensive things you say to someone. We are not monkeys we are human beings and it is disgusting to compare the two. If I worked in the same company as you, I would report you to HR. Monkeys are covered in hair and they eat fleas and do not have the ability to talk or reason and they have prehensile toes and non monogamous sexuality and they do not wear clothes and they have no shame and do not have a concept of God and therefore do not have souls and will not be able to go to heaven. Therefore calling someone a monkey is the most offensive thing you can ever do to a person.

I think you should apologise to her and make sure she understands that you do not reject her humanity and her presence before God. Otherwise you are no better than a devil, or Richard Dawkins.

I am sorry to become so heated, this is near to my heart. Humans are better than monkeys because we have been gifted a conscience and we need to learn how to use it properly.

Thank you.

You don't sound like a very nice boss from what you've said in here.
If you honestly believe I'd walk into the middle of the office of a very reputable collection agency and call a load of staff 'daft cunts' then...well, you gotta lot to learn about me. Harshest words I used against one member of staff is 'ignorant slouch' when she kept fucking up the targets.

Edit: Shits about to go dooown. Screaming Meat has awoken the beast.

This is an excellent choice of words my friend. The beast, father of all lies, Mammon, enemy, dragon, devourer, deceiver, demon, Son of the Morning, prince of devils.

You must really hate Planet of the Apes.
 
You must really hate Planet of the Apes.

Most films made by hollywood are satanist propaganda anyway, I try to pay them no heed. I believe that evolution is a plot to move humanity further away from God. Unfortunately it is working in spades.

edit: there are exceptions though, Ghostbusters is excellent for exposing the youth to ideas about the evil of spirits, and the films of Tyler Perry are very spiritually enlightening. Also, there are lots of informative documentaries on youtube.

I don't think Spades understand the concept of evolution, and I'm not sure if god minds they don't believe in him.

Acrid comes in, mentions Bonobo, People Under The Stairs and Amon Tobin in one post. Heart that guy.

Shorty, can't sit and link this morning because I'm busy but in terms of good party tunes, Jurassic 5, Hi-Standard, LCD Soundsystem, Otis Redding, The Chemical Brothers, David Holmes, Tune Yards, Manu Chao.

I should get Smash on Friday/Saturday, but something tells me that Amazon isn't going to dispatch my Adapter despite saying it'll be delivered between yesterday and tomorrow. x_x

She sounds like a healthy and well adjusted young woman.

She wouldn't last two minutes in my office. We'd give her a nervous breakdown.

For me it's because it's a party/fighting game which can either be totally casual and used just to button mash with family, but with and in the right settings it can turn into a really deep and interesting fighting game with interesting mechanics.

A party game? I don't think I would get much use from it anyway then, even if I could play Nintendo games LOL!

Preeeeeetty sure there's worse things to do to other people than that.

I never really thought about monkeys not having a soul, it just doesn't sit right with me somehow. I mean yeah insects and reptiles and amphibians etc not having a soul is fine, but the idea that your pet doesn't have a soul is kinda heartless. I reckon intelligent mammals would probably have their own version of the afterlife
without extremists making life difficult for everyone else in the species.

I'm hugely impressed that Cy used to be a manager at a debt collection agency but less than a year later he's a freelance graphic designer specialising in typography. Just like that.

That's some adaptable skill set right there.

God created man in his own image, not animals and therefore we have an immortal soul whereas animals don't - http://www.apologeticspress.org/apcontent.aspx?category=11&article=582

Nothing that will eat its own faeces can have a soul LOL!
 
sparks yay!

yesterday my girlfriend and i went looking for flats in manchester, found one and went to rent it only to be told it had already gone that morning despite ourselves AND another couple having just been shown it at four in the afternoon. bah. what a waste of everyone's time.
it's freezing in my store. to the point where a customer decked in a big coat and wolly hat complained about the temperature. i only have a polo shirt on. :(
in other news xcom is great and an actual game with some of my actual music might be actually released on the wii-u. that is pretty cool shit.

roundabout is my new favourite joke character.

I was team leader more than manager. And graphic design had always been on the cards, ever since high school. The collections agency job was a job to keep me going while I get my business running.

Ah, you'll be alreet then pet. Your thoughts are much appreciated.

You couldn't ask the big man upstairs to get me an Xbone, could you?

You should check the Cheap Arse Gaffer thread more often Dave:

Yep, managed to get in on that Microsoft Store glitch too. Still waiting on that cancellation email....

There was a post on Hotdeals last night about an error on the Microsoft store last night letting you order 2 x XB1 for £299

Just waiting for them to cancel my order now
