Well, let's see. Bit tired, so I'm going to keep this short ( Read more... )

Well, today has been a day of revelations! I'm sitting here, using mum's laptop for my jobsearch, and have just come off the phone from Jobseekers direct. Now, I've been told to call JSD twice a week, in addition to using the Jobpoints and Jobcentre Plus site. But I've now been informed by the JSD worker that all the databases are the same ( ( Read more... )

I live with a family of curious logic. Most of this comes from Rhys (more on that in a moment), but one jewel of it has come from mum. "I did say I bought the Wii for everyone, including you, just... don't use it when he's around, it irritates him ( Read more... )

My little sisters are currently talking about my smoking habits and how unhealthy they are in french. If it weren't for the similarities of certain sounds (cardio-vascular, fume, etc), I wouldn't know. As it is, I turned around and asked "how do I say 'I know, and don't care'?" Being helpful and loving siblings, they told me. Being a fool ( Read more... )

...Ahhh, I finally submitted a competition digital art piece... and lo, it is pretty damn awful... you can check it out here , and scroll down till you come to "Monkeywrench Murphy ( Read more... )

Whew! A while back, I kinda screwed up mum's laptop... it ran extremely slowly, and didn't work very well... I read for ages, and finally sped it up using a solution that sounded damn silly, even to me... and it worked! Now all I have left to do is defrag lots, and run the AV. Nonetheless... that helped my confidence, a lot. Also got my scanner ( Read more... )

I have a really weird disability. Most people wouldn't think it a disability, but there are times (like now, when my computer's been screwed for three, four months, and nobody who's promised parts has come through... :s ) when I do. I can remember nigh on every damn book I've ever read. Not the exact words, but plots, subplots, characters, ( Read more... )

I never thought about it much, but, when it comes down to it, my family are... not good people. I myself have been, in the past, rightly accused of being a taker, a wastrel, and a faux gentleman (the last I keep trying to tell people, but they never listen. The first two I'm trying to fix...). But that's nothing to some of the stories I have heard ( Read more... )

Well, surprise surprise, it was a computer cockup at the JSA again... but Private Eye readers will be shocked (not!) to hear that the new JSA system was a combination of BT and (drum roll, please!) ... EDS! Hehehe... oh, my, what a shock it crashed for a week, eh folks?

Well, what a lot has happened! I mean, we've got it all... I'm single again, the DWP cocked up (and look like they're about to again), I cocked up, I've signed up for further ed (but hopefully won't fuck it up this time), and I've had more weirdness enter my life (so what else is new?) Right, let's deal with this in order, shall we ( Read more... )
