The son of a bitch never showed up. I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. On the one hand I was happy that he didn't show up because I hate getting visits from the higher-ups. I know its all in the name of improvement but a lot of the time I'm convinced they look for things to whinge about, even if it means...

I reckon they should congratulate you on a job well done. Ran the place for the week and nothing got burnt down, there were no deaths and the shops still standing. Successful week if you ask me. You should ask for more money.
mat8drb:
You've got to make sure your staff keep the place proper now, fingers crossed.

London will be fun.

I feel like complete shit, and I fear that even flushing a massive cake won't lift my spirits.

The cockery of the guys in Gamestation HR has come back to bite somebody on the ass, and that somebody is me. For the past 2 months I've been a staff member down, so while I used to get by quite easily, sometimes giving people jobs that...

if you've not watched it then I recomend Oz, as after that a cat being killed will seem like nothing
johnnyforeigner:
Pfft. maybe that particular song had a special significance? Maybe it was selected especially due to an event in real life? Didn't think of that, did you?

It wasn't, but you didn't know that tongue

Amazing how it lifts one's spirits, flushing a cake

To be fair, I've been so out of games lately I'd just been being surprised how it was sold out everywhere until I was invited to this party. I thought it would be a great addition (and he's only getting the Wii that day so I know he doesn't have it) so I went looking... and discovered the shocking truth.
You should have bought them all and put them on ebay, people are paying 45-50 for them. The spastics. wink

Face it, you can't survive without me. I may be a maverick, a loose cannon, a man on the edge who plays by his own rules but dammit I get results and that's what you need tongue

I've done pretty much fuck all lately.

Strung Out were awesome live, as expected. Annoyingly they have a pretty big back catalogue so there's always a couple of songs you wish they'd played. Savant for one, or Razor Sex frown

I ordered a new guitar not too long ago because the one I have is fucked. Its kinda hard to learn on given that it falls...

You want to see this movie. Rachel Leigh Cook goodness.

A fortnight? Argh.

Good luck on getting someone. That sounds like a perfectly sensible recruitment practice to me. Girls in a gaming shop can be a double edged sword though.

Holy shit it's been nearly 3 weeks. What is probably most depressing is that I still have fuck all to put here.

Work is still kinda annoying but I've settled into a comfortable groove. Mark managed to drive out one of the other sales assistants by talking down to him all the time and generally being a dick. Instead of, I dunno....mentioning this to somebody,...

Are we really gonna go back to calling each other homosexuals on message boards?

I have kicked Timesplitters onto easy mode, it is now far more enjoyable.

I convinced another person to join SG

Everybody go and say hello to Marty993 one of my friends from real life and a fellow resident of "Heartbeat"

He's a poor yokel like me, so please be gentle

5 of the past 6 days have been spent doing sweet fuck all. I've managed to bugger my sleep pattern quite considerably because of it, which means I should have fun when I go back to work tomorrow. Here's some boring occurances from the past few days

* Went to see Seafood last night. Was very good indeed, just a shame no fucker showed up...

I would be even happier if the sens had a better start.
Two fucking close games, two losses.

Boring couple of days? We nearly DIED on Tuesday night!

Jesus i go to all the effort of making a tire explode and you call it boring.

I've been a very bad commenting monkey frown

Basically I've had a bit of a busy week. Between stocktakes and massive pricing overhauls because of a half-term sale I've been working 9-8 pretty much everyday. Then when I get home I'll quickly check my emails before disappearing upstairs to my nerd cave.

Mark made my fucking blood boil again earlier. He spent about 3 hours consistently...

Is it really 4 years since Strung out were last in the uk?

Wow, are you gonna come to the Glasgow gig too? Huw was saying he was thinking bout it, but couldn't now, are you gonna?

OK, update time.

I wanted to get rid of the last journal entry that was essentially just me bitching about the guy from work. I'm in a stupidly good mood at the moment, and hopefully leaving it up on here will keep me happy for a few days at least.

* Liverpool was awesome. Was great to catch up with some of the people I'd...

If anything the pills provide the perfect security blanket. If I become a bestselling author, get kidnapped by a crazy fan who breaks my legs I can grind them up to drug her, before making a desperate crawl for freedom.

There now follows a long and tedious rant regarding office politics. I just needed a platform to whinge and possibly advice from people who I've found to be generally pretty wise.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Some of you may remember my bitching about this dude Mark who keeps trying to steal my job. This entire rant revolves around him and how he's been annoying the...

Gahhhhh, absolutely nothing has been happening lately. On the one hand I'm happy that I've been able to relax and do the things I enjoy like watching DVDs and sleeping till noon. Annoyingly though I have a bizarre numb feeling that should probably shift as soon as I have something exciting happen.

Here's a list of stuff that I'm happy about :
