Positive Events & Occurences

[SomePerson]

Ack! That's horrible!:(

Now I feel bad posting my positive event - I got my driver's license...

Damn you! bonz got the 1000th post.

Trip to the theme park was today. It was kind of a let down because a lot of them couldnt make it up there.:( However I did meet this one female actor named Rainen. She was alot of fun to hang out with. Along with the model Ian...bleh I forget, but we all just called her the Diva. She's quite...a hoot. Her Australlian accent was cute. But even though it was a smaller group than expected, we all had fun and went on all of the rides there. But now I am sunburnt and I feel sick from breathing in peoples B.O. all day.
'Night.

Actress? :p

Wait, why were you at a theme park with actresses and models again?

Ouch! How fast were you going? I know someone who did slightly less damage to their Metro (not much though - bonnet was bent by more or less the same amount) in a 20mph collision (hit stationary vehicle)

Probably 30-40mph. I'd tell you about it but:

I've just realised - why is this in +ve events?

It was in reply to the driving banter :) I crashed over a year ago, now.

[Star Worms]

I crashed my beautiful MG Metro, 1.3, built in Abingdon, all because of a wrong turning. :( :(

http://vader.wurmz.net/images/misc/metrocrunch.jpg...worse than mine:p I wrote off my mum's car a month after passing my test. A friend beat that record by saving up around £2000 to get a really decent car and then rolled into a ditch the day after. Then not long after, with a new car, he was caught speeding 3 times in one day and had his licence revoked...

To be honest though, we got a better deal out of writing the car anyway. It was probably only worth about £1300 and we got shot of it for £2000 - £500 excess.

Didn't take a pic of my car:(

My car is back from being fixed, and it's running great now. New shocks, brakes, ect. And I even have it where my radio accually WORKS!
Of corse you gotta screw with it everytime you turn off the car. BUT STILL!:DMine too. The engine sounds different and the brakes are so much better now. It felt really weird when I went out in it.

[Blinx]

I've got band practise today, the first with our new drummer. Should be great. :D

[MtlAngelus]

First day of Acrobatics(or is it Acrobacy?) class, and my legs hurt like hell :D

[Blinx]

Band practise went well. I'll upload the new 10 minute version of Nautilus (with drums) when I can be bothered. :p

Brought three cd's:
David Bowie - ""Heroes""
The Moody Blues - "Ballads"
The Chemical Brothers - "Exit Planet Dust"

[Lex]

Those are some nice choices, especially the latter! You know The Chemical Brothers' later albums (not including Push The Button, their worst effort, imo :p), don't you? If not, I seriously suggest you check them out, especially Surrender and Come With Us.

[Slick]

I have an interveiw at Final Coating Inc. tommarow morning at ...6 am. :( Thats when I usually go to sleep, but oh well. :p

We were, but most people were too far away to take any decent shots. That pic is from one taken by the official hired photographer. They took a photo of each person shaking the man's hand, and another photo after we'd collected our degree.

It's 24oz of dead bovine and I finished it in 12 minutes.

Why did you make it look like it was photographed in the late 1800s?

[Vader]

I felt very, very old when I had finished. It felt fitting at the time.

[Zero72]

You might remember the mention of the online entity Pi a good few pages ago in either of these infernal threads, or maybe a different one, but anyway, she's coming up again, because I can't get her out of my head for like the third time. Even though I barely ever talk to her. Ugh.

We actually had a rare chance to talk for a few hours last night and catch up on things and discuss life in general. I guess most of this part can be skipped, but towards the end, she said she considered me a strong person. This, somehow, is the single most encouraging and empowering thing I have been told in a very, very long time. I sat there with tears standing in my eyes because I couldn't believe somebody -- let alone she in specific -- thought that about me. And it's inspired me. I still don't feel like I'm very strong, but when I remember her saying that to me, it makes me want to be. It helps me try to become what I've always wanted to be. I've been trying harder to keep my chin up and my chest out, to put in that extra step, to smile more often... etc.

Why is this going in the negative events thread, you ask? Well, I just broke up with Avry because I was sick of the distance, and now I've gone head over heels for someone else with probably more distance. Damn it to HELL.

She'll be moving to Virginia (bordering Pennsylvania on the South, a drive of a good few hours, but nothing horrible) for college later this week, and she directly invited me to drop by and visit her for a weekend some time. Needless to say, the thought sends my head into the clouds, but there again, I'm conflicted because I always expected Avry to come see me.

But I suppose that boils down to that I just really didn't / don't feel much for Avry anymore.

Bleh. This kinda bites. Just when I thought I had everything straightened out.

Edit: Nitpicky stipulation: Now that I think of it, I guess Virginia doesn't directly border Pennsylvania, but almost. To get there, you'll have to hit a little of either Maryland or West Virginia, if I recall.Pi did what I didn't and made the first move, and we're pretty much offically back on.

I feel a mild buzz of sorts. My hands are shaking slightly.

She expressed that her primary concern is the whole Internet thing, and doesn't want to try a fully Internet relationship... So I'm going to have to take this one quite seriously. I've recieved her cellphone number and have Mapquested up directions to her location, which is a drive of around 7 hours (this sounds accurate, since I've driven there before.) This also means that I'm going to have to try like hell to disciplining myself into getting up at a decent hour in the afternoon so I can actually interact with her daily, at least. That's something I've needed to do for a long time anyway, for various reasons, and ties into the whole trying-to-be-strong-for-her bit I mentioned.

Uhh... Yeah, I guess I'm out for now.

[Slick]

Im very happy to hear that, and I wish the best for you. Just don't get too whipped for youre own good....women somtimes go crazy when they know they'll always have a guy waiting.

Oh, yeah thats right, I don't have a girl friend. Just go ahead and forget my advice and do it your way. :p

Last night I slept over a friends house. It was his birthday, it ensured playing Halo 2 four player for long periods of time and watching "Lucky Number Slevin" (Good, but confusing if you don't follow it closely) and "Dogma" (Very funny). Slept on a couch which was quite comfortable.

We've done Cornwall to North Essex (near Cambridge, actually) in 11 hours before now - the journey should have taken 7 - 8 hours.

And I know people who take a day to go from "here" to Scotland - 12 - 14 hours of solid driving if they don't stop and go in the middle of the night.

[Paul.Power]

We've done Cornwall to North Essex (near Cambridge, actually) in 11 hours before now - the journey should have taken 7 - 8 hours.Given it takes me about 4 to get from Swansea to Cambridge... how???

[MtlAngelus]

Yesterday at work, I went to the bathroom, and lo and behold, there was a clean toilet! :eek:
(the other two toilets: one had a 12 inch juggernaut floating in there, and the other one what seemed like the remains of an explosive diahrrea)
:p

[thomasp]

Given it takes me about 4 to get from Swansea to Cambridge... how???
Probably because you don't have to encounter much of the M25 :p And we do actually live about 40mins from Cambridge

We've done Essex to Snowdonia in about 6 hours

[Zero72]

12 inch juggernautRemembering that one.

[Pigbuster]

Got my permit today.

Also got my class schedule. Every class I wanted is on there, and I have some of the greatest (fun) teachers, it looks like.

And I saw Little Miss Sunshine.

A good day, yes.

[Zero72]

Got my car fixed up alright. Pretty sure the battery was leaking.

I even got all of 7 bucks back for it.

[Paul.Power]

Probably because you don't have to encounter much of the M25 :p And we do actually live about 40mins from CambridgeWe don't have to encounter any of it, actually: Dad always goes via the Midlands, which though a longer distance, is actually quicker because we miss out on the M25...

Try going up to Coventry-ish, then taking the M5 from there down to Devon, in future.

[MtlAngelus]

I don't know why, but I had a great time at work today. O_o

[Lex]

You don't know why your day was great today in particular, but do you know how it was great? That is, could you describe the way(s) in which it was great? There is a great difference between "why" and "how"!

Edit: I'm lame.

[MtlAngelus]

I have no clue. The only difference is that we had a 3 hour training about text messages, but I don't think that was it since it was boring.
Basicly, I left work tonight feeling great, but have no clue as to why.
Well, there was this one call where a customer was complaining about charges she had been getting for 2 months now for internet usage in a phone that she says was broken and could not have used internet. She had been adjusted for last month's usage, but I somehow led her to believe that adjustment was to cover this month's charges :p
Yes, I know, I'm evil.:)

You jerk.

[MtlAngelus]

I have to let my evil side out every now and then, otherwise bad stuff happens.:)
edit:also, you do realize there was barely any evidence to support the adjustment being required?
I mention the need of one because the customer wanted it, what I did was basicly keep the customer happy and avoid giving unnecesary adjustments.
That doesn't justify me taking advantage of my abbility to confuse people enough to believe me, but still, I find it pretty amusing when I can pull it off.

[Slick]

Im off to go work for that painting company today...as a trial to see if they want to hire me. Whoo whooo...:p

[Zero72]

I got to talk with Pi on the phone. :)

I can barely think of anything but her... :p

Sappy, yes. I'm sorry.

Edit: Oh, as well as I'm on about this, I might as well get the rest of this off my chest... I worked my [suggestive noun] off at work today, but still spent just about the entire second half in a great mood, because I brought this new Green Day CD in, and played it while I worked and thought about Pi, and somehow the combination of the two were a serious mood lifter.

...I just really need to be careful here, though. Don't want to pull any big stunts without a net and all that.

Let's hear it for how incoherent that probably was.

[Lex]

Actually, I'd say that was quite coherent. :) Listening to energetic music while thinking of a wondrous girl at work is quite nice, I'd say!

[Paul.Power]

Passed my driving theory test :D

34/35 on Theory (pass mark 30)
66/75 on Hazard Perception (pass mark 44)

Only thing I got wrong on the Theory was that I couldn't remember what an excess was in insurance...

[Vader]

It's when there's too much insurance, like when you insure the glass of water you are about to drink.

I got 30/35 on my theory and never had to do a hazard perception test. I guess I got 75/75 by default or something.

Walking in the middle of the night in the middle of a stormy rain= FUN.

[Lex]

[MtlAngelus]

Walking from the bus stop to home after getting back from work.

[MrBunsy]

Nothing quite like walking home through a storm :D (except cycling)

So long as it's home you're going to, if you're heading out it's not quite so fun.

[Lex]

I guess my question was made obsolete by your edit. Ha.

[Pigbuster]

My family and I once went around the state fair while it was raining. We went on the river rapids ride for free... twice.

And I went to the state fair THIS year. We drew LLAMAS. YAH.

More recently, my dad's new camera (old one broke. This one's used and scratched, but works fine) came in, and I've been uploading old tapes of my piano recitals onto my computer. I forgot most of the middle parts since it's been years since I played them, but now it's been memory lane 2-D-MAXX.
Good times, yes.
I'd find a way to upload them, but... eh. I'm not sure anyone would be too interested.
EDIT- Not to mention that the quality isn't very good.

I had a translation guide off of gamefaqs.
I can tell that the story would've been more powerful if the I wasn't reading off of a text file, but it was still pretty incredible.

For those who don't know about it much...
Earthbound 2 is the last game in the series, and it's for the GBA.
Unfortunately, there isn't any news about an English version. If there was, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but I just have to use a ROM for now.

However, there is a fan-made translation patch in progress that is due at the end of this month. SWEET SUGAR.

Edit: Doesn't she get one of those "BEING WATCHED FOR..." in her sig?
Yeah, that's a small "glitch" with the new vB infraction system.

When someone gets Being Watched, they are essentially moved into the "Being Watched" usergroup automatically, and lose their avatar, since they are not allowed to edit their avatar (for some reason, if you manually move a member, the av stays). As for the sig, that was a manual edit by Sel whenever he used to move a member into the Being Watched usergroup. I doubt we could get vBulletin to automatically change the sig.

Any "lost" avatars reappear once the status is automatically removed.

It was.

However, my dear brother moved the router into the hall. I now get a consistent signal.

I have a signal of -81dBm, and noise of -91dBm. The SNR is 10.

My signal cuts out once every... six or seven hours now. Very rarely, and not for long. I've updated all of my programs (AVG, X-Fire, Steam, Spybot and Adaware), as well as updated my jEdit plugins and connected to Spoon, my Netsoc's UNIX server.

This is very good again.

Oh, and if my connection goes down for too long, the connection next door is unsecured.

A couple days ago, I received the ridiculously awesome computer hardware I ordered about a week ago. It is amazing. I have a new case, an Athlon 64 3800+ CPU, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a really powerful and awesome motherboard with 8-channel on-board sound and network capabilities, a GeForce 6800 XTreme with dual DVI ports. I also bought some DVI-AVG adapters so I could use my CRT monitor and a new CRT monitor my dad brought me today! I put everything together and now, I have a ridiculously fast computer with two monitors. I'm still waiting for my 500GB super-fast SATA hard drive and nice new mouse which are coming on Monday.

Yeah, I feel leet with two monitors. Ha.

You don't have a TFT monitor?

[Lex]

I don't have a TFT monitor.

[SupSuper]

A couple days ago, I received the ridiculously awesome computer hardware I ordered about a week ago. It is amazing. I have a new case, an Athlon 64 3800+ CPU, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a really powerful and awesome motherboard with 8-channel on-board sound and network capabilities, a GeForce 6800 XTreme with dual DVI ports. I also bought some DVI-AVG adapters so I could use my CRT monitor and a new CRT monitor my dad brought me today! I put everything together and now, I have a ridiculously fast computer with two monitors. I'm still waiting for my 500GB super-fast SATA hard drive and nice new mouse which are coming on Monday.

Yeah, I feel leet with two monitors. Ha.... *drool*

[MrBunsy]

Lemme guess, about £500?

Nice specs though! (untill crysis comes out)

[Lex]

Yeah, it was about $1000 Canadian, which is roughly £500. Note that the new monitor was given to me for free by my father, who works at the University Of Waterloo. All their CRT monitors are surplus now because they're replacing them all with LCD monitors, so computer science staff can take home a monitor or two, and the university sells them in surplus sales also.

[worMatty]

Didn't feel inclined to go for one of the new Intel Core 2 Duos?

[Lex]

Those are way too expensive for me. AMD is just as fast and cheaper. Also, I have no need for a dual-core processor, as I'm not using dual-processor software. Dual-core processors cost literally twice as much as single-core processors, you know, and they do not benefit at all if the software you're using doesn't take advantage of the second core.

[worMatty]

I hear you, those were my own reasons 'til I read the Core 2 Duo reviews a couple of months ago. That's why I'm still running a socket A Athlon XP 3000+ with 333MHz FSB. That'll change in the future, though, now.

[MrBunsy]

When AMD release their new range of processors.

[Star Worms]

New iPod nano:). My new phone should be delivered tomorrow. It's probably unwise to splash out before uni but I don't care.

[KamikazeBananze]

Yarr, I gots me a Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB, The Beatles 1967-1970, Bob Dylan's Modern Times, the Paranoia Mandatory Fun Card Game, some Magic cards, the Paranoia Cap'n (GM) Screen, and a book on th' Wheel of Time.

Some booty!

[SomePerson]

YARR!!!

For Talk like a Pirate Day, my friends and I dressed up, but Greg won when he showed up in a laides' costume, corset and all...

[Star Worms]

Damn I missed it:(

[Star Worms]

New phone:) Samsung SGH X820

[MrBunsy]

"Despite its small size, the Samsung X820 doesn't compromise on features. Theres a 1.9" 220x176 pixel display, a 2 megapixel digital camera, Bluetooth, 80Mb of internal non-expandable memory, a multimedia player and TV output. It also has a multimedia player capable of playing back MP3, AAC and WMA audio tracks and we understand that the SGH-X820 supports stereo Bluetooth too."

Wow. My phone doesn't even have a colour screen...

[bonz]

I finally have internet back since I have moved to a new appartment.
DSL connection, €49.- per month, 3072/512 kbit/s up/download, 20GB fair use traffic volume plus flatrate from 9pm-7am.
http://www6.inode.at/inode.at/privat/internet/xdsl-privat/medium/

And I got the the monthly fee for free till the end of the year.
That makes 4x €49.- = €196.- which is more than the €70.- caution money for the modem and the €113.60 for installation!
That makes a net gain of €12.4!
Yippieh!

i has cashews

[Star Worms]

i has not cashews

[Zero72]

That's a negative event or occurance :mad:

[worMatty]

Not having something isn't really an event or occurrence. Having something taken away would be, though.

Hang about, this thread title has a spelling mistake in it.

[thomasp]

That's a negative event or occurance :mad:
Not if he's allergic to nuts :p

[Zero72]

Ah, but cashews are beans. ;)

[Star Worms]

That's a negative event or occurance :mad:Sweet bejesus I predicted the future.

[thomasp]

Ah, but cashews are beans. ;)
Not here - the only cashews I know of are those kidney-shaped nuts.

[Zero72]

They're kidney-shaped nut-like beans.

Peanuts are also beans, incidentally.

[bonz]

It's not a bean either, but a drupe growing at the end of a pseudofruit which grows from an enlarged peduncle.

I don't like the taste cashews. They totally mess up those nuts and raisins mixes.

[Paul.Power]

What is it with you and obscure ball games and computer game music?
;)Well, cricket does have the second largest support base of any sport in the world...

EDIT: Europe 5-3 up after the first day's play. A tight day's play with all but one match going down the 18th.

[philby4000]

After a few days of having a sore bum from sitting on this really uncomfortable chair in my room at uni I've only just noticed that the other chair in my room (the one I'm currently hanging my towels on) doesn't have the sam inch thick cushion over a hard wood seat.

It's sprung.:D

I would have noticed earlier if the two chairs where'nt ALMOST ENTIRELY IDENTICAL.

I would have noticed earlier if the two chairs where'nt ALMOST ENTIRELY IDENTICAL.I know the feeling...

Oh, well. Europe 10-6 up after the second day - winning every "team" session 2½ - 1½. And Paul Casey hit a hole in one on 14 to win his foursome with David Howell against Cink and Johnson 5 and 4.

[Paul.Power]

Well, I move in to my rented house in Treforest tomorrow, and I went up there to pick up my keys, dump some stuff and meet my housemates. And it turns out that I'm staying with at least three... girls? women? Girls sounds patronising, women sounds like I'm calling them old... with one room still unknown. Which surprised me a bit, because I was under the impression that there'd be at least two other guys. Still, not that it matters much.

In other news, Europe eventually won 18½ - 9½, equalling last time's record (for Europe) win.

Rather a demolition job in the end. We've got terrific strength in depth, now (sure the US have No 1, 2 and 3 in the world, but their fourth best player is ranked 18th or something, below quite a few Euros).

I just wish we'd win a few majors...

[Vader]

I sorted my page out properly! Yay! Finally I can relax a bit more. :D

Ladies, Paul. That way you can cover both *and* be polite.

[Zero72]

Got a blingin' new keyboard (http://www.crazypc.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=4183).

My old one was from Wal-Mart for like 10 bucks, so...

[Star Worms]

Ooh, blingin'!

[Zero72]

There were fancier ones with all the goofy layouts and stuff, and even a specialized "gaming keyboard" with a bunch of extra keys on the far left that were clearly meant mostly for FPS games... That one did look kind of interesting, but I already know how to use a regular keyboard well enough, and I hate those newfangled ergonomic or whatever ones as opposed to a good old-fashioned one like this.

[thomasp]

My keyboard lights up too :p It does it automatically in low-light levels.

[worMatty]

Hardly ergonomic to be using a VDU in low light anyway.

[KamikazeBananze]

My exam was actually decent.

Well, one half of it was.

Good thing encoding was asked. I'm very good with Digital-to-Digital Encoding, and Analog-to-Digital and Analog-to-Analog were pretty good too.

The only bit that I'm mildly worried about is the question on PSK. Not sure I drew the diagram right. And I'm also a bit concerned about NRZ-L. I think I got it right, but I'm not sure...

[worMatty]

What the **** are you talking about?

[SupSuper]

An Audiology exam?

[KamikazeBananze]

Electrotechnology and Telecommunications exam. Those are ways of changing a signal from one type to another. The different schemes all require knowledge of how to use them and what the signal looks like after you've used them.

[Xinos]

IntroVersion's game Defcon is going to be released in 3 minutes. I preordered it. But their site and forum are down :p

I'll just have to wait ..

[MrBunsy]

Oooh, you preorderd too? I'm still waiting for my email, all I know is this,

"Due to unprecedented demand on our store web server. Unfortunately this has overloaded the system, so we have temporarily disabled the store.

DEFCON Keys will be emailed to you at 18:00 GMT which is 19:00 BST in London, UK.

We will be re-enabling the store shortly. "

...but it's still not arrived! :(

[Xinos]

Let's just hope they let us download the game and not only give us the key ..

[MrBunsy]

They've got the defcon site back up again, you need to get to it from introversion.co.uk though, and you can download the client from there! But it still needs the key to become the full game, which means either logging into the store (which is down) or getting the email (which hasn't come yet)

damn! Although on the plus side, I can at least play the tutorial through the demo.

[Xinos]

It's my Birthday today! Huzah! I'm 19 year's old!

[Pigbuster]

The tube of my parents' iMac is on the fritz (There was a power outage a while ago and we never properly ran the repair CD like we were supposed to do.)
So they want a new iMac.

What we're thinking is that I'll give the one I'm using now to them, and we'll but a new one.
And that one, will be an intel-based mac.

Here I come, Windows programs.

[KamikazeBananze]

After getting a lot of money, I've bought some games.

Uplink, Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn, Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal and Dawn of War: Winter Assault.

Uplink is very very fun. However, I've killed five agents already. Oh well.

The problem is, in many of those cases, either bad reflexes or bad log management. Coupled in the latter case with pride.

The first is caused by me accidentally clicking in the login box with the password cracker open, while on a direct link. I was booted the last time from attempting to hack the Uplink Internal Services Server. Luckily, that happened before I was forced off the net due to being unable to pay my 1000cr fine.

The second has occured every time I've hacked a bank without the proper precautions in place. First, I just ran at it head-on, and got smacked down. The next time, I was prepared, and then deleted the logs from InterNIC.

But not the bank itself. Oh well.

[MrBunsy]

Ooh, would you recommend getting Uplink then? I've been thinking about it for a while, it'd finish of my boxed collection of Introversion games.

[Xinos]

How hard is uplink?

[KamikazeBananze]

Uplink? Do I recommend it?

HELL YES.

A friend commented that it's a psychological study as well.

You get as advanced a machine as possible, and you begin to feel invincible.

Then hubris gets its boot up your ass, and your agent is dissavowed.

By the way, I've gone through about five this week. My friend has gone through four.

It's bloody tough.

[Zero72]

This blasted, horrible, drawn-out week of pain from hell is finally over for me, and I've rewarded myself for surviving it by purchasing Half-Life 2: Episode One, and the Sims 2 Pets expansion pack, the latter of which I didn't even know was out yet.

[Slick]

I'm in a good mood today, and it's nice outside for once.

[MtlAngelus]

Hehehe I messed up a customer's line. She called because her line could make calls but couldn't receive them, instead of doing a boring trouble ticket, I decided to try and fix it, and tried this one trick where you expire the line and then reactivate it. Thing is, I couldn't activate it back :p
And neither could my supervisor.
Eventually it escalated and I don't know what happened to it.
:p

It's on positive events because it was a hell of a lot of fun :D

Also the error that kept popping up was named Slapp. O_o


Oh, also, tomorrow they are letting us go either with free code for clothing, or HALLOWEEN DISGUISE!
Unfortunately, on so short notice I don't think I'll be able to go in disguise.

[Zero72]

Part of me still wishes I had the excuse and the means to be a ninja for Halloween. I dunno how I went 20 years without doing that.

Halloween has been pretty much nothing to me for the past several years now. :-/

Everybody knows that the fun ends at the age of 25.

I'd say he means six years ahead in the future.
Because with 31 you actually start looking for a gravestone and a coffin, as life is already almost over then. *shudder*

I dressed in pink and wore my flying pig hat (with flapping wings!).

Just so we're clear, I went out last night and saw probably sixty people over the age of 20 dressed up in daft costumes. In one pub.

And he was over 20, indeed.

I'm sure there's someone matching that description everywhere.

[AndrewTaylor]

Not in my house, there isn't.

[MonkeyforaHead]

Negative: McDonald's isn't too horrible to work at on a daily basis in general, but when stuff breaks down, or it's time for my GODDAMN PERFORMANCE REVIEW THREE WEEKS AGO THAT STILL HASN'T BEEN ATTENDED TO, its ugly side really begins to show. I am not impressed, and frankly I doubt I'd be much happier working at EB or Compusmart or whatever.

Positive(?): McD's sucks so much that it may have just tipped me over the edge to attending college for environmental studies.

[philby4000]

Saw Ross Noble last night at the brixton academey.

He finished the show with an incredibly complicated mime that involved denouncing religion, playing keepy-uppy with an owl and selotaping cats to his legs.

Absolutely hillarious.

I might get a job at S.I.T. That's a company that makes guitar strings. You pretty much only do one thing all day, it's really a loose atmosphere, the job is easy, you can listen to music the whole time, I know like half the people who work there now, you can dress casual, the pay is more than I see on my two week paycheck that I would get EVERY week, they start you out more than what I am making, hours are pretty good (7 am - 3 pm), there is a very pretty- ( that is most likely single)- girl there who likes me that I would work with, the staff there are very nice, after you get used to everything there you can get paid more than what the pay is based on how many stings you make, good benifits, they are understandable when you need time off.

Yeah, WOW.
The only catch so far is that the work is repetitive,you have to stand the whole time, and I havent been hired yet. But if I do, I'm thinking this would rule.

[bonz]

The ability to play "Stairway to Heaven" blindfolded would be a worse catch. :)

Oh well... i find playing "Stairway to Heaven" blindfolded a much more enjoyable activity to stand doing for hours than to twist those little things. I'm pretty sure you'll somehow have REL at some point. :-/

But, hey, it sounds great... i mean... money is money... and it's not like you have to pledge your allegiance to the damn thing, so just hang there until you find a non repetitive job that pays more and have more than one hot chick that likes you working at. Well, second thinking, you better stick with this one... :p
