First Post!
I've done it. I've gotten myself one of those LiveJournal thingies.
Talk about stating the obvious.
I've no idea what this will turn in to, mainly it's just another thing to occupy my time with. Maybe I'll meet new people, and maybe no-one will ever read this but me. And I may not even read it, hell - I know what I've typed before it even appears on here.
Also I don't know how to use LJ yet, so no fancy formatting or any of that just yet.
I was going to start this when I got broadband. Today I start a new job though, so as I may actually have things to write about now other than what I watched on daytime TV or what graphics stuff I've done lately. Seemed like a good time to start...
And so it begins. After leaving my last job as a sales guy in November I finally got another job last week. Five months later - wow, that's bad. I was going after office jobs for something simple but they either wanted someone who had experience or had just left school. No idea why, but someone who left school 3 years ago and has been working since just doesn't fit the bill. Anyway, I am now a kitchen assistant at the local golf club - a job which which was easier to get with my 3 years of kitchen experience. Didn't even need a CV for it - boy, have I been looking in the wrong place for the last few months.
I was supposed to start today, but I can't. I have no chef whites yet. Being on JobSeekers for the past 5 months and getting myself in debt with the aforementioned sales job hasn't really put me in a good situation financially. I am, in short, broke. Not too bad debt wise though, about a thousand down with two credit cards. Seeing as I only managed to get enough cash on Thursday night for the uniform it won't arrive until today, but the new boss guy seems pretty laid back and down to earth and said not to worry about it and I can start tomorrow instead. Not the best start to a new job though.
And so now I'm bored. I've become an expert at occupying myself alone (NOT like that, filthy mind) over the past few months but I wasn't prepared today. There's things I could do - there's that folder with about 6 unfinished graphics projects I could work on, and in front of me sits a "Teach yourself C in 24 hours" book which I keep meaning to start, but to be honest I'm a bit disappointed about not starting work today and can't be arsed. I'm going to browse deviantART for a bit, lurk on VR, then maybe read. Then I'll give Angie a call and tell her the good news about my old boss type guy from the old sales type job leaving last week. It's comforting in an evil way to know that the evil SOB is worse off than me now.
And as I re-read this I notice just under the text box that I can use standard HTML formatting. I did wonder - now I suppose I have to at least add line breaks. Something to do though... :)
