Support NeoGAF

[NinjaBoiX]

So are you joining Manc GAF then? Woo!

That's the plan Sploat! I still need to pull my finger out and really start looking for work, but yeah, it's happening. My bro won't let it lie, he keeps that fire under my arse lit. Someone has to!

I'm so looking forward to the fresh start man. And living somewhere that isn't a cultural cesspit.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

I hate it.

Depends on the office I guess. Mine has lovely bay windows.

 

[Symphonia]

I quite enjoyed working in a call centre to be fair. You got to wear your own decent clobber instead of a shitty uniform, you had actual facilities for making something to eat, there was people your own age to have a bit craic with and plenty of eye candy walking around.

My first office job was a call centre for Virgin Media in Stratford-upon-Avon. It was in a beautiful location overlooking the riverside/recreational ground area. We had a huge open plan office divided into bays, with massive bay windows and a balcony. The canteen was great, too, with a TV and Xbox 360 hooked up. The staff were amazing, too, and could have plenty of banter with them. Loads of gorgeous girls there, still in touch with a few.

I hated the office job I had. Days blended into weeks and I wouldn't have any recollection of what the hell happened. Didn't help that going outside on breaks sucked because it was right next to a highway and windy as hell.

 

[Screaming Meat]

I suppose it depends on what kind of office job it is.

Edit: forgive me if that comes out looking like crap, I can't even work the toaster properly.

[Symphonia]

Can't read the second panel for toffee but I lol'd. Our call centre wasn't quite as robotic as that, mind, we didn't have a script to stick to which made the job both easier and harder at the same time.

Also, successful sext was successful. It really 'worked its magic' on her, apparently. Not bad for a first attempt. Still felt weird, though, I may get used to it in time.

I'm rubbish at it myself. I'm rubbish at gauging what's appropriate. I jump from extremes too. One minute I'm all "I want to caress your arm hair", the next I'm saying "let me quaff a glass of your anal mucus".

No grey squares on a chessboard, I guess.

By far the best thing about working in a call centre as a young lad.

I worked at MFI contact centre for about two years, wall to wall fit birds. I was in a fairly serious relationship at the time, but it didn't last long after I started there, I was 20 years old and in my element. I was seeing two girls from work when my GF found out I was being a bad lad. To be fair, don't snoop in someone else's phone when they're in the shower eh?

Don't start none, won't be none.

Suzanne Gibson doe, holy moly mother of god... *o*

I honestly had no idea where to begin with mine so I went with the usual dinner table setting and went from there. We ended up in the shower. It seemed to work though. I need to be more experimental next time.

Ahaha, Ninj is a playa - confirmed. And definitely the ex's fault - if you don't want to be hurt, don't actively seek out the truth. She only herself to blame for going through your own phone rather than minding her own business. But, yes, I can hardly blame you for wanting to stray. Call centres play host to some truly beautiful specimens.

This is a great saying! I'm using this.

I dunno, I just let my mind wander and type whatever comes naturally, kind of like automatic writing. Then give it a read and elaborate/edit where needed. It's got to be evocative but not to the point of being blunt. If you get a twinge reading it back to yourself, you've struck gold.

I dunno man, her checking my phone isn't really comparable to me sleeping with two other girls behind her back. I was being a dickhead and deserved to get dumped.

And to be fair, she only looked at my phone because she had suspicions. Quite rightly it transpired!

I felt bad, she was cool. :/

haha I was about to say the same myself, just an awesome excuse for awkward tonal shifts in my future.

I don't really get to sext, mrs is on a shitty pay as you go phone and is too cheap to buy credit, she literally spends like £5 a month. Got her to send a pic of her bewbs once, that was cool.

 

[Little Old Man]

Dynasty Warriors is going to be my guilty pleasure on the Vita. So cheesy, yet so god damn fun.

I'm not saying it is but no good ever comes of checking your partners phone, emails, Facebook, etc. They will always find something to start an argument about, be it past flames messaging you, you liking a photo of some girl or, in your case, just having some fun with some lasses from work. My ex did it to my phone (and subsequently threw my phone against the wall and smashed it, not happy) and, yeah, was not pretty.

It can take a while to get used to sexting. Did for me anyway. My first time doing it was horrendous because not only was I awkward and shy about what I was saying, but the guy I was dating at the time pretty much said that he wanted to rape me. I ended the sexting right there because it got too uncomfortable for me. Stopped dating not long after that. It wouldn't have lasted long anyway as I found out that he just used people for sex and dropped people very quickly when "new meat" came along.

Second time was good though. Went on for a while, then he invited me over (he lived not too far from me). Led to very good sex.

You know, I never understood the context of this gif. Kermit and Christian Bale? Sure, why not? I'm missing something, that's for sure.

Dynasty Warriors has been a guilty pleasure since the fifth game (I think that was 2005 or 2006) but they're so fun. Looking forward to Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends when it releases, as well as Hyrule Warriors.

[Musha_Soturi]

However much I dislike working in an office now, it's still better than my call centre job. 4 years of mind numbingly boring dullness, working with bell ends, feeling a little bit of my soul dying everyday. How I survived through that I'll never know. At least I get to use my brain now.

My ex did it to my phone (and subsequently threw my phone against the wall and smashed it, not happy) and, yeah, was not pretty.

The whole "don't start none" line was me being facetious dude, false bravado masking regret. Yes, she shouldn't have looked at my phone, and I had a go at her about that. But my wrongdoing was far more serious than hers!

"If you don't want to be hurt, don't actively seek out the truth" is backwards logic and hardly conducive to a healthy relationship. If I wasn't cheating there would've been nothing to find other than knob gags and bullshit male banter.

You do seem to have a fairly skewed, misogynistic outlook on relationships at times.

Just sayin' brah.

Hot.

As far as I know, some people do like 'rape play' but if what he was saying was flat-out rape, yeah, I don't blame for you wanting to get out. I can't imagine that kind of relationship being healthy whatsoever, constantly having to look over your shoulder in case, yeah, you know. Good job you bailed on him before it got too serious.

As for getting used to it, I'm sure it will come in time. It's just I'm far more comfortable actually engaging in the act rather than simply describing it. I didn't know if I was being too vague with what I was saying or whether I was heading towards some sort of Fifty Shades spin-off. I'd obviously much rather be there with her and do it. Ah, well, seeing her again on Saturday night and all day Sunday.

How do you know there's not a reason for that? For all you know, I may have been fucked over in the past and, as a defense, I myself am putting on some sort of facade to mask the hurt and make myself seem like a dick so I don't get hurt again. I wouldn't say its misogynistic, though, and I'm sorry if it comes across that way. I don't condone cheating in any way, having been there, done that on both sides.

I'm just going to shut up, I sound like a dick when I can't explain myself properly :/

It wasn't rape play, I could tell what exactly he wanted to do. Still, I haven't seen him for a long time thankfully. I'll agree with the second paragraph, it's easier for me to do it instead of describing it. Actions speak louder than words etc.

Oh the work was spirit-crushing, but the social life was awesome!

I tell you where was fun to work, MaccyD's. I'm not even joking, I had a blast working there. They certainly wanted their pound of flesh, but it was good fun.

The people I worked with were dicks, only a couple of half decent people.

Mcds was a good laugh though, probably cos it was only part time. I couldn't imagine working there full time.

I'm on my sixth year of outbound calling to schools. I only really took the job to get time off for band stuffs, but ended up on a perm contract after that went under. I've tried jumping ship a few times but the only jobs that'll have me are too similar. No other decent experience to use really.

Ah, c'est la vie. Not moaning, just venting. Got le Baby to think about now, so I've started to take ze whole thing more seriously.

I dunno how long ago you worked in a Call Centre but these days cold calling someone is basically a license for people to be rude to you and not feel guilty. I don't blame them either. We're parasites XD

 

[CyclopsRock]

I don't know how many other Fast Food conniseurs there are here, but in Burger King's recently they'd had wall murals with "[Store Location], Your Local Burger King" written on it, with a cool arty illustration of some local area or figure of note. I now live near Whitechapel and our mural? Infamous serial killer, Jack the Ripper!!

 

[dapperbandit]

lol

A friend posted on facebook saying the One Show filmed a bunch of stuff for their flood special in my area. Not only is it in my area, it's in the road I used to live in and my mum is in it a bunch, no interview though, probably for the best since my mum is a sixty year old Glaswegian who swears uncontrollably.

It was four years ago when I worked at Virgin Media and it was more people calling us than us calling them. Some of the people were genuinely nice but, yeah, some were proper assholes about the most menial of things. My last job involved calling customers who owed money. Now that job, while I loved it, did result in many nasty remarks being made by our customers.

So that...was ugh a Nintendo Direct. Honestly the most positive thing I could say about it.

They're spread so thin as a company it's unbelievable.

Hey, someone mentioned wanting to see Monkey Dust Season 2 recently, could you make yourself known? I might be able to help.

 

[Symphonia]

Ugh, it's so shit how someone can make you feel so worthless in seconds.

Mario Kart and Bayonetta trailers satisfied me, but man it's looking barren for Wii U. I am so glad I have a backlog at the moment else I'll have nothing to play for a while.

Time to catch up on what you lot talk about while I'm living my comfortable married life of making dinner, watching telly and having a nice bath.

I'm on my sixth year of outbound calling to schools. I only really took the job to get time off for band stuffs, but ended up on a perm contract after that went under. I've tried jumping ship a few times but the only jobs that'll have me are too similar. No other decent experience to use really.

Ah, c'est la vie. Not moaning, just venting. Got le Baby to think about now, so I've started to take ze whole thing more seriously.

This is the real question that it seems nobody knows the answer to - how do you find a job that suits you? Pretty much everyone I know ended where they are by accident, with varying degrees of happiness. Sometimes it feels like once you're in your lane changing is an impossibility. Especially once those bills start rolling in...

I dunno how long ago you worked in a Call Centre but these days cold calling someone is basically a license for people to be rude to you and not feel guilty. I don't blame them either. We're parasites XD

Someone the other day would not take no for an answer, so I told them they interrupted a wank I was having. Which was a lie. That I later made true.
