It's been ages since i updated this. I'm not sure why i stopped..perhaps i realised how little i actually ever had to say? Have been very philosophical lately with many more things disgusting me and climbed (or slipped) to a new level of cynicism. I'm not even sure where this is leading ( Read more... )

So, i have a job. I still have no money for now and I already, after two days, dislike it. I know I don't have to stay there, but the bank will be on my case very soon..and i need to keep my credit rating because of the debt payback next year. Why does everything always go wrong? I've had enough shit jobs to justify a half decent one, surely. I'm ( Read more... )

The interview yesterday went reasonably well. The written exam however, I think I flunked, badly. It was the one thing really playing on my mind and rightly so.

Online applications are shit and usually result in no response from either ( Read more... )

On returning to the bus station to return home the "next departures" board read "not in real-time." So what fucking time zone are they basing next departures on?

Last night was good. Depeche Mode in concert at Manchester MEN. \m/. A light and sound extravaganza. The visuals blew me away. A spaceage looking set, with a big screen showing the concert in colours and various different forms. Closeups of the band, then visualisations. It was just like watching a music video for every track. The concert was ( Read more... )

My predictions were correct. The dossers working on the path have retired to their van early today because of the rain. They're just sat there. This means tomorrow they'll be back to lay the remaining 3 paving stones on overtime pay. They've managed to stretch possibly a day's work over six days. This level of shirking leaves them knocking on the ( Read more... )
