ugh, back in work. not happy. I really think I need to change my job. or rather my career.

Squeeze a baby out, perfect timing. That's what mrs S is gonna do, she also hates her job so is looking at the new-baby doss year (haha) as a time to refocus and look for new stuff to do.

The question of 'how do you get a new career' is impossible though innit? How should we know what we can do for a job?

Morning everyone! I have a day off today!~
Yeah, me too! My place give you your birthday off as an incentive for 12 months no sickness, could've taken it Friday but I'm glad I didn't. My Manchester job search starts today, wish me luck!

Also, eat some mint you set of punks:

Mush, Pats walked out of his job on Friday, he'd had enough. He's searching for jobs today too.

become a neogaf escort. you wouldn't need to put out, and there are plenty of gaffers who have plenty of cash to splash and are desperate to be seen with a woman.

I'll sign up for this. My clients should not expect smiles, conversation or such. I'll sit, get a meal bought for me and be generally grumpy and unpleasant. Anyone out there into this?

I bought Wii U Sports Plus yesterday as I loved Wii Sports Golf. The new version is rubbish! By adding Motionplus sensitivity it's ruined the simple fun and turned it into some kind of weird torture.

BritGAF plays host to many ravers, right? I've been invited to a private 24-hour rave. I've only ever been to one rave in my life and it was only a short one. How does one prepare for an all-day rave?

Will also get some time away from gaf.. might help a bit

Damn. Watched that Bruno Mars HT show. Never have i seen something so safe and boring. Almost as dull as the game.

In what world are the Chilli Peppers "guests" to Bruno though?

Well yeah I plan on doing this too, but that still means I have to spend the next nine months or more in this sucky job.

If I didn't have responsibilities and bills to pay I would, unfortunately if I just quit here and get a job elsewhere I'll still be stuck in the same industry.

This is actually the best idea so far.

What do you say?
Drink somewhere tonight?

Still unwell, I'm afraid (only trip I'm making out tomorrow is to see the doctors about getting a sick note for work).

Edit: you asked about tonight! Sorry, tonight is no good for me (see above).

The heel on my shoe must be hollow because it's started squeaking while I walk. If I pumped it full of filler, would that work? Talk me out of it please.

Afternoon all! Sorry I've been very quite on the socialising front, hope everybody is doing okay.

I'm just posting to say that my friend's Doodle Club in Portsmouth's King Street Tavern pub is happening again this coming Thursday - come along if you're in the local area, everybody is welcome! Just get drunk and draw any old shit, you don't have to be an artist to take part, just enjoy throwing dumb ideas down onto paper or card and hanging out with cool people.

Here's the Facebook page for the event if anybody is interested.

I was hoping Tash would join us this time, but it seems he's going to be in France instead... Lucky sod. ;_;

Apps and social media make me experience the worst futureshock. I'm twenty-one. I still don't really understand tumblr.
 
Reading posts from 'MURICAN patriots on the Coca Cola Facebook page who detest people singing 'MURICA the Beautiful in anything other than English. Nigel Farage will undoubtedly be looking on in envy.

There's not a whole lot to understand about it. You see something you like, you reblog it, people moan at you for reblogging it, they send you messages accusing you of 'body shaming' because you posted a photo of an attractive female, wash, rinse, repeat.

Sounds like something I'd try and forget about after a few days. Like most social media stuff.

Nobody truly understands tumblr. It'll be one of those things that in a few years the creator of tumblr will admit we've been using it incorrectly all this time.

I dig tumblr and pinterest, but only for viewing pictures. I don't actually actively get involved with any of that nonsense. Just google a porn term and then add 'tumblr' or 'pinterest' to the end.

No problem, I hope you feel better soon!

Tonight is tricky now, may have to work late. Tomorrow should fine, whereabouts are you in town tomorrow?

We're staying at the Holiday Inn on Liverpool Street - I'll let you know about tomorrow as we may be working late to make up for some issues today :(

Your in Salford :S and not the good bit, see those dodgy flats a little bit up the road? I nearly bought one of them in 2002 for about £50k...

Well if you can make tomorrow let me know.

Games talk!!!

Gah, that sounds frustrating.

I've spent most of the day playing CoD and Soul Sacrifice. I'm starting to feel like I know what I'm doing a little bit more now. A bit.

Games talk? Games talk.

I've had my Steam account since late 2009, barely used it. But now I can finally say that I've finished one of my many Steam games, that being the PC Port of Final Fantasy VIII. Using the mods made it better to playthrough.

Next up is... something. I've got AssCreed 4, Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut and Darksiders 2 to play, so I might have a go at one of those.
