Did I mention that one of my tasks from my old job is now done in a sheltered workshop? :verylowstandards:

Mebbe I'll have to start an Oklahoma-style BBQ joint in Melbs...

Mercifully weak gripe for the day: upcoming trip to Chicago involves one of my bestest ladies, who sadly has incredibly unfortunate musical taste (where 'unfortunate' is a euphemism for 'kill it with fire'.) I have submitted that I will probably have to 'hit the clubs' with her (kill ME with fire!) but now I know there is a Diplo gig, I gotta find a gracious way of saying she cannot has my Friday night.

Holy shit, a dilemma that involves having a friend and going to a gig. It has been YEARS

currently sporting numerous UDI's (unidentified drinking injuries) including a very sore nose which the swelling isn't going down on and I'm starting to wonder if the bone might be slightly cracked.

need to start keeping a journal when drinking so that i can refer to it the next day and go "oh THATS how that happened".

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 1:06 pm

journal entry 1 - started the evening with a fine wine from the margaret river region - sauvignon blanc.

journal entry 2 - progressed onto a lovely hendricks with cucumber in a tall glass

journal entry 4 - someone say SHOTS?!

journal entry 4 - wooooooot! drinking is so much fun!

journal entry 5 - xvjhbaofhvibbdafibgipbviabntipnpiznv-hungry.

journal entry 5 - seem to have bruising from clavicle to knees and do not recall taxi ride home. wait, was there a taxi?

CoB · Post by **CoB** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 1:32 pm

youthful_implants · Post by **youthful_implants** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 1:42 pm

ahh that makes sense.

I played golf for the first time last weekend and I pulled abotu 100 muscles in my back. how pathetic is that?

also learned that golf is not my game.

CoB · Post by **CoB** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 1:45 pm

golf isn't anyone's game.
people just pretend it is for rich-man points...
(i wanted to be a golfer when i was little but failed at it pretty hard, getting up earlier than the sun made me sick)

do you recall a fist flying at you? that might be the nose one

i have bruises from friday night but i remember them all, which actually sucks more lol

CoB · Post by **CoB** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 1:51 pm

o.O
what is this, injuries anonymous?

ps. i figured out how i got this bruise on my shin yesterday!
(i worked it out yesterday, it has been pretty constant for a while)
i use it to lean on things sometimes, and press pretty hard too...

maybe should stop doing that huh >.<

i got some pretty gnarly bruises on my legs at the moment from ungracefully dismounting my bicycle last week. i remember doing that tho huhu

Dunno if this is a gripe or a big up...

Just found out I didn't get a job for which I was shortlisted. In itself, it's not so bad (in fact, kinda rad, coz it was the other one in Oklahoma!) but being told that I am better than the person who accepted it is a bit shit. The other guy's supervisor "is very influential."

Ugh, stuff like this is a total headfuck. Is it better to hear "you are awesome, but yeah, no"? Or, "holy shit, you're really offensive/incredibly stupid/look funny, so Hell No"??

And why can I always has the former?

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 5:10 pm

it makes you happy and sad

its like the time i was told - your ideas are really good so i will tell people them and get the credit for them cos i am the boss

YAY, no wait, huh? oh, well, okay then

that doesn't sound correct. award intepretation is a funny thing, especially under a new system, so I would check the award and see if your interpretation matches your employers.
