I think you can imagine my relief. I love how soon-to-be-unemployed I am!

OH MY GOD, how long is your notice period?! Did they do that annoying thing where for every month you work you have to add on two days notice or something? Makro did that o_O

My notice period is 4 weeks but I figured I may as well continue til the end of the Easter holidays, because money-wise I kinda need it, olo.

:P lol, are you going to try and get a job in FOPP then?

(Do you know, I saw some idiot referring to FOPP as "FLOPP" earlier. Tard.)

I am, yes, but I doubt I'll be terribly successful. Worst case scenario is I get an office job.

(FLOPP made me laugh out loud. In fact, I'm still giggling.)

...you could try Anson Rooms too, office jobs sound horrendous :S

I can't find anyone who will go to tea :'( I'M GOING TO STARVE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE ELECTRIC COOKER!!!

I will try everywhere music and book-related in Bristol (with the exceptions of HMV and Plastic Wax Records, because I hate them) before I resort to office jobs. Don't you worry!

I would suggest you experiment with the cooker but if you're unsupervised you might end up blowing your floor up. (Not that that would be entirely bad considering what your flatmates are like, but we really think of Brad/your CDs.)

Brad's a pile of shat anyway, but you're right, I don't really want to blow up my CDs...that means, though, that I'm going to have to survive on chocolate, ritz crackers and humous all day. I also have some pineapple juice. And a banana, but it's brown. Maybe I could make a punch.

RAH, why do you have Plastic Wax Records?! HMV are tossers too, although if you're going to boycott them I suggest you also stay away from Virgin Megastores, because they're equally wank with their not-going-to-recognise-this-band-isms. Idiots.

You could try and work for Stink'n'Stove!!!

I LOVE RITZ CRACKERS. I used to eat them with cheese and tomatoes and wine allllll the time in Devon until my parents started fucking WeightWatchers *scowl*

Plastic Wax is owned by a man who has no passion for music or memorabilia: he is literally just in it to make money, and is disdainful of anyone with an actual interest in music unless he's about to make a lot of money from them. Is your answer. olo. I am boycotting HMV because their vinyl selection is terrible and they never have any Client CDs: so far Virgin have not disappointed me in this precise way but give it time. In fact, give it time and I could probably cultivate a hatred for every music shop for not being good enough, so perhaps I'll just stop thinknig about it now so I can still apply everywhere after my exams, olo!

I doubt FOPP will ever let us down :)

Although, like you said, there's a reason to hate every shop in Bristol...especially the independent ones. Over charging SHITE.

Maybe we should open our own. I don't *love* this degree anyway, lol!

*FOPP love* Incidentally, do you know how you do those little black hearts that everybody seems to be into?

Oh my GOD, we should incorporate the music shop into the book shop with fruit baskets (remember THAT?). It'd be like the Liz 'n' Tif minimall.

drunkenchipmunk March 12 2006, 17:42:20 UTC
I don't know how to do that heart thing, no, because it's emo as shmo, although I have often wondered...

if it's not one of those, I'm stumped.

I do remember the fruit basket, yes, LOL, what a mental idea...to much absinthe that week, possibly. I may actually own a shop when I've finished my degree. That way I can be involved in both music and books, and not have to do two jobs...well, I could be a part time Archaeologist while owning a book store, if I roped someone else into doing it *ahem*you*ahem*.

I wonder too much for my liking and I'd just like to know once and for all so I can use it ironically a few times then forget about it.

HAHAHAHAHA I will not do you the criminal injustice of running your shop. I'd just sit about and get pissed in it then not pay taxes and shout at the customers for being bigots and then you'd come back and it'll have magically transformed into a hole in the ground. Also, my future career is a failed author and I think I need to spend most of my day inside the squat I will be living in with some dirty scraps of paper whilst writing in my own blood because there's no pen, so I wouldn't have time to own your shop in your absence, olo.
