Actually lolling at your comments on retail..I used to work in a supermarket (Lidl...oh god why) and honestly, George A Romero would have had a field day every damn day I worked there, oh the material he could have used! I also used to get comments such as 'oh, it's not your day today is it'...WELL NO. How could it possibly be MY DAY when I have to stand, YES STAND behind a till for eleven shitty hours serving utter CRETINS like you?! Tell me, HOW COULD THAT POSSIBLY BE MY DAY?!!
Ahem.
The rage has not left me yet, and it was well over a year ago. I quit to go on tour with my friends band. Punk fucking rock!
I hope your nye was as awesome as mine (I went to bed. At 10pm) xxx
I'm an incredibly judgemental person at times, and usually I try and stop myself in an attempt to curb my hatred for other people. That said, today's exploits in work have made me all bitter and I've decided that anybody who goes to the supermarket during the last 2 days before christmas and then acts suprised that... Read More
Give the Total Fitness people a call and ask them outright. None of that "could you tell me what I did wrong in the interview so I know what to do well next time" shite, just ask them to say yes or no, then you can move on. I hate waiting on job results so I don't. Good luck with the Gamestation gig.
Hope your Xmas was better than your Xmas customers, i.e. not completely fucking stoopid. You can always take comfort in the fact that they probably got so stressed out trying to find goose fat, or whatever the crap Jamie Oliver smeared on his meat this year, that they literally exploded with rage on the drive home, Scanners style.
I've still yet to hear anything about that job at Total Fitness. Their incredibly vague "We'll call you at the end of next week" might seem perfectly reasonable for them - its driving me up the fucking wall. What even constitutes as the end of the week? Normally I'd say Friday but since the place is open 7 days maybe its Saturday. Maybe their working... Read More
I'm not overly sure how my job interview went yesterday. On the whole I thought I did alright. There were no awkward silences or bits where I fell apart struggling to come up with an answer. I was at least fairly articulate and well spoken but the interviewer was almost impossible to read. It didn't help that... Read More
I hate it when they give you a vague time when they'll get in touch, I'd prefer them to specify, that way, if you don't hear anything by the deadline, then you at least know that you didn't get it.
I really hope you do get it mate, not only will it be cool, but you'll hopefully make enough money to head down south from time to time and spend some time with us real people.
If I'm not here to deliver the usual standard of Futurama or Simpsons quotes he will be a suitable replacement in my stead.
No proper news this time around. Have to go for a haircut tomorrow because of that job interview on Wednesday. I'm dreading it because i fucking hate hairdressers. I know theyre just trying to be social... Read More
Its kinda annoying that I just did a profile and now I have to fill stuff in again. And who only has ten favourite bands/films/books? Now I have to go all "High Fidelity" and subtly analyse my choices. Good job I have nothing better to do.
i would say get gears of war instead , thats if you like a full on shooter game , but double agent is well worth it aswell its got quite a varied amount of ways to get jobs done , i just like sneaking up on people and braking there backs
So far this week is going really well and I'm in an awesome mood. Knowing me, something horrendous will happen by the weekend but so far its all good.
For the first time since graduating university over a year ago I've actually got a job interview. Normally anywhere I apply to just replies with a template email which is basically a more kindly worded "Fuck... Read More
"its 5am and me and derek here have been thrown out of our lodgings due to dereks rather erratic way of eating arctic roll"
"I was only showing everyone how a pelican might eat it tom"
This journal is conveniently seperated into the happy news and the bitter rant. You can choose to read just one of them, or if you're a communist you can ignore them altogether.
Luckily all the stupid talk surrounding that charity calendar seems to have stopped - now theyre focusing on my non-existant customer service efforts. No doubt soon they'll approach me with a camera and then I can just laugh and walk away after telling them countless times that I'm not cool with doing it.
I finally have a CD player in my shitmobile. I was getting... Read More
For some bizarre reason some idiots in work are trying to convince me to pose for a charity calendar. As the guys who I shared a room with in Leeds; Coldandwet, Mat8drb and The_Happy_Pig can attest to this being possible the worst idea in the history of all ideas. I'm just annoyed that they seem to think I'm gonna do it, attempting to tell... Read More
Seriously, as hard as it is to believe, aged 18 I was slimmer than you. I was the comedy skinny guy rather than the fat one. It alled changed around the time I learnt to drive and left college and daily two hour dance classes.
That said I am broad. The distance between my shoulders means that Im never going to appear small. I have also learnt certain clothes emphasize this rather than my stomach and bitch tits.
Not much has happened lately. I finally acquired a copy of Marvel Ultimate Alliance after some buffoonery by the guys in my local games shop. I had a crapload of store credit and they annoyingly forgot to order any copies of the one game I wanted. After securing myself some cash I took an annoyingly long drive to pick up a copy from HMV.
Ahem.
