Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable
Jace:
Guys, I am getting a new job. I'm pretty sure of this since the company has fired 2/3 people who had the position I am applying for.
This is most excellent.
Jimmy the Squid:
I've now been at my new job for two days. It's still just training and I'm getting a little worried that all they're done so far are tell us about the company and the kinds of things the company does. Things we already know. Things we do not really need to be told again. Honestly I would much rather be learning how to use the computer system that I'm going to be spening 90% of my time on but I guess there are some more days in the training to get to that.
Also I'm slightly worried about how it's going to go if I need days off. I didn't realise that when we put our availability for shifts down prior to the start of job that that was the only time we tell them when we are available. I assumed that, like every other job I've ever had, shifts would be organised based on weekly or fortnightly availabilities. As it stands I'm available 6am-10pm, seven days a week for the rest of the term of my employment there. Hopefully I will be able to change this at some stage as I would like to have time off for myself at some point.
I really can't wait til my first pay comes through though. The last few weeks have been really tight for me, financially speaking and I've been mooching off my girlfriend for a large portion of those few weeks. I'm starting to feel kind of bad about it as she doesn't make a huge amount of money as it is, being an apprentice and all and so I'm slightly depressed since I don't think I'm really treating her like I would like to. Also while walking around the shops on Sunday (which was also our two year anniversary thing) we were talking about moving in together at some point, which I think is nice.
And a final thing, today while on my lunch break I managed, through sheer clumsiness, to pour half a large bowl of boiling water all over my hands. I'm in quite a lot of pain. Seriously, ow.
Lunchbox:
Today I was excited that I had enough money to go into the computer shop and get my old laptop back! They were retrieving all of my stuff from it because the power supply went. I have lots of music and documents and photos on my old laptop. The music is very important to me! As are many of the documents. All of the good images I have saved on Flickr, so it wasn't so important to get those back.
I booted up the external hard drive that I took in for them to use and couldn't find the folder marked 'backup' that the guy had said he'd put everything in. Instead there is a folder named 'Laptop Pictures" which yes, does indeed have a lot of my pictures, but also about half of them are corrupt and uh. Lots of them aren't mine.
Jimmy and I found horrible porn on my hard drive that I did not put there at all! It was horrible. So bad.
I want my music, dammit.
KvP:
I got my American Gov't. project back today, and under the 105% grade the instructor had wrote "I saved your paper for last because I figured it'd be the best one." So I got that going for me, and that class is pretty much a guaranteed A now. If my uninsured friend hadn't come down with the flu for the third time in as many months it would have been a pretty rockin' day.

This is not possible. Explain yourself.
