  • Went to a gig last night where there were a fuck load of chatty people

    One guy behind me said to his girlfriend and her friends 'if you don't speak for the next 15 minutes, i'll give you £30' to which I turned around and said 'I'll double that' and he laughed loads and the girls all gave me evil looks AND CARRIED ON TALKING.

    Tonight I'm going to see Gone Girl FINALLY.

    Feeling relatively good after a pretty decent nights sleep, seems like a good while since i had one.
    Got quite a bit to do today but nothing hugely pressing.

    My head keeps overheating and I feel sick. Boss isn't in today so going to take it easy and chill with you guys if that's ok.

        • Probs should go to the doctors though

          It's probably just concussion (which you should be careful with anyway) but they could get you properly signed off for the rest of the week?

          How did it happen?

        • If you have a big bang on the head - you go see a doctor.

          If you have a big bang on the head which is still having an impact THREE DAYS LATER - you go see a doctor.

          Not sure why this isn't self-evident.

    Thought I'd slept for three solid days and come to work on Saturday. Turns out there are a load of visitors today so everyone parked somewhere else. I haven't moved my car #yolo #sorrynotsorry.

    Seeing my daughter after work and then going for a few drinks with an old friend.

    Will continue to cram bands for this weekend's festival, in between pretending to work and posting devastatingly mediocre threads and replies on here.

      moousee @saps | 15 Oct '14, 10:32 | X
      • These

        Highlights for me currently are Aeroplane Flies High, Alpha Male Tea Party, Bad Grammar, Claw The Thin Ice, The Collected Fictions, Dignan Porch, Hot Shorts, Kontiki Suite, Mimas, Nat Johnson, RadStewart, Remember Remember, Shana Tova, The Spills, Tellison, Thought Forms, Uranium Lake, Woahnows, Wot Gorilla?, IEPI, Sweet Deals on Surgery, Trust Fund

        Think there might be some clashes there but it's going to be great.

  • awaiting to hear if I got a contact job

    I'm a bit torn though as it is good job and would be great experience but I'm not sure if I'm up for the challenge right now. I feel like a easy city centre web gig and this is challenging and in a beautiful but isolated office. Kind of hoping I don't get offered it as logically I should take it but not sure if it is best thing in short term just long.....hmmmm

    Other than that hump day is looking good, chilled day and snowboarding tonight in mancs! :)

    about how much work I have to do. Just said Yes ot a new piece of work, I'm goint o have to clone myself over the coming weeks to get everything done. and I'm posting on DiS because I am still kicking things into the long grass.
    I'm just going to check my lottery numbers before I start this month's hard labour.

        and realised I thrive on the pressure. My recent yoga holiday was the first time in years I'd actually thought- hmmm, i reckon I could just chuck it all and live on a beach now. And then I came home and I forogt anbout that (although have interviews for similar jobs in hot places coming up. yikes.)

    proper warm-up, proper sore stomach muscles

    Would be going to see Gone Girl tonight but the person I was going with cancelled so I'll probably just stay in and watch the apprentice.

    I aced the assessment but just fell short on the interview :(

    Tillance | 15 Oct '14, 17:21 | X
    • I'm the last person to encourage someone to put a positive spin on something BUT when it comes to stuff like this you've got to.

      Now you thought you'd blown it completely but it turns out you weren't actually that far off!! I'd take that as a win.

      With just a LITTLE more preparation (not much) or whatever it takes then you're there.

      Or perhaps you were perfect and the jobs was 2.5 points away from you.

      Well done anyway!

      zxcvbnm- @Tillance | 15 Oct '14, 20:24 | X
      • Thanks :)

        It sounds smug, but I'm pleased I did as well as I did. I got down to the last 4 candidates from several dozen, and given my assessment score I doubt I was the worst candidate out of those 4, I just didn't perform well enough in the interview.

        At least now I know what I need to do next time.
