Thanks for the support.

I know I'm probably overreacting, but the whole thing has jarred me a bit. And I was feeling a bit out-of-sorts anyway.

I shall cure this by eating cheesecake and drinking wine...
That should do the trick.

It is more than likely one Fucktard with a sharpie doing all that graffiti.

It's St. Paddy's day and I can't drink! It's so ridiculous I can't even believe it. I just have too much school work to finish for tomorrow to justify getting drunk tonight.

[Tsundoku]

I have 2.5 months to go here, and since I don't know where I'll be living when I get back to Darwin, what with no rooms on base and f**k all available rentals in Darwin, I may have to use some of my leave time to find a place. Not knowing how long this may take, I envision it wrecking my plans to go to Europe. This is poo.

Cheers,

La Sombra, Grand Poo Bah

St. Patricks day was yesterday and unlike Anomander, I could drink.

[HoosierDaddy]

Work... still drunk... not good... blargh.

GODDAMNED UNIVERSITY ACCOMMODATION WHEN EXAMS HAVE FINISHED AND I HAVE TO WORK FULL TIME. Talk about sleep deprivation. What's worse than being kept awake all night by bloody students playing music or getting over excited by video games? Being kept awake by bloody students playing music and getting over excited by video games with REALLY LOUD AND ANNOYING AMERICAN ACCENTS!!!! I feel like I'm in Guantanamo Bay.

Mezla and sleep deprivation to not work well together.

I hate you sometimes.

To top the whole 'no drinking on St. Patrick's day' I woke up with a bloody chest cold today. I thought I was over being sick, but apparently my body has other ideas. Ugh...

The dude who was working with me doing the Customer Service and claims was let go...and I inherited his workload (on top of mine, of course). Just to make it a bit more of a challenge, he did FUCK ALL for the past month, none of the files are up to date, nothing is logged, he didn't reply to e-mails...so I have a hornets nest of pissed of clients, some of whom have been waiting more than a month for a response, that I have to deal with. He is supposed to stop by today to pick-up some effects, I seriously fear I may go "Karsa" on him...




Thank god for alcohol...

[Thelomen Toblerone]

Fucking Habermas and his incredibly dull shit writing style. It's boring enough subject matter as it is, don't write it like a corpse you git.

[Traveller]

Just found out that out of the 35 people I work with, 14 of us are going to get made redundant. We have to 'reapply' for our own jobs, which are now limited to a few.

This is made even more crappy by the fact that the 2 managers (who are probably at least partly responsible, via poor financial management, for the situation) are the ones who's jobs are safe, and get to choose who stays.

We get interviewed, as this is supposedly 'fair' to everyone, but they've made slight changes to the job descriptions we're reapplying for, that in some cases mean that some people are ruled out straightaway. It's all being monitored by the union, but it all looks decidedly dodgy to me.

The gods alone know what I'll do if I lose this job... i left a perfectly good profession to do a degree, got a student loan to pay for it, worked to get 8 years experience, and now I might be out of a job.

AND... just before the meeting in which they told us about this, they had a load of students from the local college round to tell them what a great prospective career they could have.

Tasteless or what.

[Hinter]

That sucks mate. I find out tomorrow if I still have a job or not so I know exactly how you feel.

[Traveller]

Good luck with that, Hinter, fingers crossed.

[Hinter]

Cheers Trav, either way I'm gonna get shitfaced tomorrow night!

[stone monkey]

Lungs not working correctly... Again. At least I don't have to go into hospital this time, but I'm still getting heartily pissed off with this. If my body's going to pack in, would it be too much to ask for it to do so when it's not sunny outside?

Poor Stone Monkey. Any idea what flairs it up? Are you allergic to anything? Ask for a transfer to a clinic in Wythenshawe Hospital - I will get my asthma doctor friends to do tests on you and I bet there are all sorts of research projects you can sign up for. I can promise they are more professional than I am!

Messing with my groove. I got snared by my housemates again. Somehow I have agreed to have dinner cooked for me by Skinny McStarverson. It is going to be a long evening. I need to learn how to not be polite all the time!

[stone monkey]

Spoke to my doctor today, who was no use at all... He says I have a chest infection and threw a prescription for some antibiotics at me, presumably simply for the purpose of getting me out of his office. I should make an appointment with my asthma nurse and see what she's got to say.

Maybe your Swiss lunatic is actually a good cook. If she spends her life eating healthy stuff, she better be either darn good at making it taste nice or not care what it tastes like; for your sake I hope it's the former.

I'm not holding my breath!

Eek, groove is doubly messed. The whole US work trip is coming to a close and my boss over here (who is a bit scary) just came in and asked if we can have a meeting tomorrow. He is usually more informal about stuff so this sounds important. I have kind of been gunning for a job over here (or at least a job offer to think about) and now I'm freaked out in case it happens tomorrow but also in case it doesn't happen and I'm not as flash as I hope I am. My tummy is doing somersaults!

It will probably be nothing now though!

[Tapper]

Meh. ordered some special limited edition t-shirts on the interwebs, paid shitloads for tracking costs (though not as much as Tehol for the pink stuff), saw it arrive in the Netherlands, had, alledgedly, 2 delivery attempts (they should leave a note the second time on where to pick it up - they didn't), and now, for some reason, the entire package will be returned to sender.

The freaking postal service could not tell me why, either.

Forcing me to approach the shop all over again, pay myself silly over this too: the bloody transfer costs are going to be higher than the price of the shirts. My sole consolation is filing official complaints so that I get feedback from the postal service here, but I'm sad that I have to have to complain to get information.
