Rats I just did some working out and it transpires I have about 20 days to write 15000 words. I wish i had chosen two modules this semester and two next semester, instead of three this semester and one next semester.

You are the Radagast of 2001. Lawl to you.

Hey rio, don't worry - I did 6000 words of my 10000 word dissertation from 9.30pm to 6am of the night before and morning of the day it was due. And I still got 58% for the fucker.

And now I work in a call centre.

Hehe, that's some good last minute-ing.

My problem is not so much that I'm worried about getting it finished, but more that I'm worried that it will unbalance my much treasured "working:not working" ratio.

btw I have now applied for two call centre jobs and got neither of them, so you must be doing better than me at least

Pfff I applied for a call centre job with British Gas with cumulative experience of two years and got told "sorry, maybe next time," then my friend who'd never had a job in his life applied for the same position at the same company about a month later and got it. Its just Russian Roulette with the stupid interview questions.

On a related matter, I recently lost out on a small promotion (and thus, pay rise) to a girl in my team who was constantly late and would fall asleep at her desk without fail every single day because she scored more points than me in a ten minute Q&A session. So the moral is, don't do your job properly but be able to talk shit.

Hells yes, all the interviews I've done for this type of thing have consisted of just a list of exactly the same questions. eg "Can you tell me about a time when you have provided excellent customer service?"

At Leeds Building Society they asked me this and I gave them loads of examples (mainly made up of course), but apparently I lost marks because I was supposed to give only one specific one.

Wtf? It's like jumping through very specific hoops, rather than actually holding a coherent conversation. It's a bit like the "team leaders" are unable to judge for themselves after conversations with people, and so have to conduct interviews via a rigid marking scheme that's much like being at school.

In actual fact this particular job involved ringing poor people up at 8.30pm and telling them they would be seeing some bailiffs soon, so I didn't exactly shed tears over not getting it. It's more just annoyance at the general lameness of interviews. What ever happened to that world where I could be walking down the street and some rich person would say "you boy, I like the cut of your jib, you're hired!". Maybe it is for some people, and it's just that nobody like the cut of my jib

Fucking hell, 12:00-5:04 I did today and all I did for the 5 fucking hours was face up. AAARGH. (Pulling stock to front of shelves and checking the dates) I had my 15 minute brake of sitting there trying to stay awake and erm...yeah it was fucking shit mate.

I'm sleepy. Up at 5am, took wifey to work, went to tutor little 'uns, pick wifey up from work, went grocery shopping, took little sister to airport, now vegging out before going to work. Won't get to bed until 3am. Boo. I think I'll get an iceblock from the freezer. Hmm, rasberry.

Don't try and tell me what facing up is. Five hours of that crap? Wow. At least they don't make you gather the trollies with the token retard employee.

Sometimes I get tow ork with this damned hot older girl and I accidentally offend her every 5 minutes, she was on about her brother at Uni being at a house with just girls, and I said I'd never do that; shes was like why not, and I said "because you can't exactly sleep with them and then disappear" etc. etc. It kind of goes on like that. The token reatrd employee opened the smoking room door tuther day just to flick a fag at me hahahahaha-it was fuckin' hilarious, the bloody retard.

At the school that I'm working at I heard the clip-clop of high heels walking past the classroom. I looked out and walking past was this hornbag I used to go to uni with. And dressed as a token hot mini skirt wearing teacher. Phwoooaaaar!

Confused. Love is painful and it doesn't help when your "friend" is telling you you have no self-esteem.

*explodes*

(de-emo-ify)

you're married.

All he did was look (I assume). I do it all the time.

The rule is (at least with women who aren't jealous bitches) you can look, but not touch.

You can look at the menu as long as you eat at home.

Anyway, I got a B+ on my Philosophy class contribution.

Besides that, I was at work last night and I was feeling really giddy in the tummy. The night before I had dined on a large portion of hot and spicy KFC. So I rush into the bathroom, the door of which is located in the staff room. As I run into the staff room I notice my mate Dave and some other chick who work at another store. They got called in for the evening because we were short staffed. After some hasty hellos I dash into the cubicle and...well...let's just say it wasn't pleasant. I even heard someone else enter the bathroom and say "whoa!".

A few hours later I'm working away and Dave says to me "Christ, was that you or the little Chinese guy that made that stink before?". "Huh? How could you smell it from out there in the staff room? It had to breach a cubicle, a door, a short passageway and another door before getting in there!". "Well, it permeated. Me and Ally (the girl) looked at each other and went [make disgusted face here]".

Haha! Imagine the stuff I do that revolts people which I don't know about.

Hungover



.:crast:.

Weird and jet lagged after being back gone in Asia for almost 2 months and back in the US. Land of the paranoid, TAS, orange security alerts and the KOREAN MENANCE headlines from fox news. weird. I think I will just get baked and stay in my room for 3 days.

I feel a hell of a lot better than I did earlier today. It's a wonder what a little while on a bike can do for your mood.
