Back to School (tuesday thread?)

zxcvbnm- [Edit] [Delete] 62 replies 07:40, 2 September '14

The boys are just eating their cheerios in their brand new school uniforms. They look like condemned men.

Saddest day of the year.

Oh it was a training day yesterday before you ask.

    zxcvbnm- | 2 Sep '14, 07:56 | X
    • oh!

      literally no offence taken (even at the time tbh), zexybum.

  • Slugs everywhere this morning.

    Busy day ahead. Probably go see some football after work.

    • ever had a shower with a slug?

      I did once (not on purpose - no perv). They start writhing around. It's disgusting. Student houses.

      zxcvbnm- @plasticniki | 2 Sep '14, 08:12 | X
      • God no.

        Sounds quite awful.

        plasticniki @zxcvbnm- | 2 Sep '14, 08:19 | X
        • well if you're into your slugs (which im not) its probably

          Ok

          zxcvbnm- @plasticniki | 2 Sep '14, 08:22 | X
          • slug seemed to be having a pretty good time though tbf tbh

            zxcvbnm- @zxcvbnm- | 2 Sep '14, 08:23 | X
            • Slug in the shower... urgh

              Worst slug/student house kitchen interface I ever had was when I was cooking a pizza and opened the oven door to check it and I noticed a slug being cooked alive on the bottom of the oven :( :( :(

              Both grim AND disgusting in differing ways.

              blobcow @zxcvbnm- | 2 Sep '14, 09:27 | X
  • First day back at school was always brutal

    I don't envy your kids at all.

    Today is my last day at work for a week. Going to Northern Ireland tomorrow to visit the family. I'd be pretty happy to spend the week just drinking Guinness and watching Netflix but I'm pretty sure my Nan is still on 56k dial up

    Smyth2 | 2 Sep '14, 08:24 | X
    • never been to ireland

      Northern or the rest. Need to remedy this.

  • I tacitly remember...

    The pain and anguish of knowing that you are returning to school. Even as a young child, with only a partial ability towards the utter neurosis of adulthood, the sense of dread was so horrifically palpable.

    One of my best mates is visiting me this afternoon and overnight before he moves to Spain for a year this coming Sunday. Bit sad at the thought of it :(

    blobcow | 2 Sep '14, 08:51 | X
    • cheap holiday for you maybe?

      zxcvbnm- @blobcow | 2 Sep '14, 09:20 | X
      • Yeah, hopefully so

        He's living with a posho family and teaching the kids and stuff though so might be unacceptable to just turn up and crash. Still...

        blobcow @zxcvbnm- | 2 Sep '14, 09:24 | X

              I bought tickets. It's an all night thing which I kind of struggle with these days but OH WELL.

    • No i didn't!

      - I asked whether some shit had gone down yesterday due to the last of threads from last night;
      - I asked how your first cup of tea is, and how you are.

      Nobody likes a snitch, ma0sm.

  • Someone I'm nominally in charge of was late today

    As they got later and later I realised I might have to phone them and pretend I was annoyed, becoming "that guy" in the process. But they've just showed up and I was all nonchalant and understanding (even though their excuse was clearly bollocks), so all is well.

    Steved | 2 Sep '14, 09:33 | X
  • alright?

    does this mean the shop is going to be really busy again at lunchtime? that's a pisser

    japes | 2 Sep '14, 09:43 | X
  • Hullo, I'm a new'un

    Nothing in my adult life has ever compared to that "back to school feeling", utter dread. Moving to Bristol on saturday and finish work tomorrow so today I'm pretending to look busy and productive. Might have a burrito for lunch.

      Try not to talk to anyone.

    • That "going back to work after a week or two off" is worse, I reckon.

      that would appear half way through summer. wankers.

      still resent them a bit.

          used to set aside the ENTIRE DAY the day before me and my brother went back to buy stationary and uniform stuff. an awful prelude to the worst day of the year.

          had the best stationary in class though :D

          • pork

            and when they said "do you want blah blah blah blah blah" I just said "yes" so they put everything in it. EVERYTHING.

          just had mine, was devastatingly good. got all the things. 10/10, would burrito again.

    wearing my cardi to work, caught a cold and I'm constantly hungry. I've eaten fake beef, a pork less pie and a litre of smoothie already this morning.

  • HELLO

    Nice sunny cycle to work. Tonight I am cycling to Stratford to meet my mother for tea and to FINALLY collect my bank card from her.
    I need to buy moisturizer and face wash too.

    • I had to take my bike back to the shop that repaired the brakes

      because the wheel wasn't true. I won't have it back until Thursday at the earliest now :'''(

      Can someone find me a job I can cycle to? Thanks.

      plasticniki @meowington | 2 Sep '14, 10:27 | X
  • feel free to all pin notes on my back and bogwash me etc

    but I LOVED the first day back of school, and still get a bit excited about new things at this time of year. End of the boredom of holidays! Get to see all your friends! You might have some new teachers! And a new person in your class who could be a new friend! And you have a new pencilcase and new uniform and the air starts to feel all crisp and Autumny.

    Having said that, now I'm an adult and haven't had more than two weeks off work in a row for about 13 years, I would very much enjoy a child's boring summer holiday.

    Today's news: think I scratched my eye taking my lenses out, because I woke up with my eyelid glued together. So I'm having to wear my glasses and no make-up.

    there are FOUR people in today. might just go and sit somewhere else in protest. or at least put headphones on.

    still undetermined illness, in that stage where it could just be a couple of days of feeling shit, or develop into something worse and I'm not yet sure.

    Either way, cannot be arsed with today
