Oh, and also: I am now expected to bail out my cheating, stealing, fuckstain of a nemesis, coz the dopey fuck is too flakey to organise going to a motherfucking conference more than one (1) day in advance. It's only your job, you stupid cunt. FFFFFUUUUUUUU

I am so incredibly glad he got a better job than I did last year :angry5:



I would just like to say I really like having the gripe thread to vent in, as kicking heads sometimes offends.

no no, it wasn't at our stage.... it was all up and down the street. I'm not talking during the day while it was going. I mean, 30mins to an hour or so after the festival finished. messy times.

during the fest our stage was ROCKING HARD... no shit, heaving, insane, awesome fun and I'm GUTTED it's not happening again this year :(

Grrrrrr super annoying work colleague still getting in face and being super annoying after we had the chat about her not doing so.
At least I don't have to put up with her for much longer. Me not getting the job is fast turning from a gripe into a big up :joy:

death to the person that invented the breakfast meeting/conference. had one that started at 7.30 this morning which meant I was up at 5.15

squash was not built for such early mornings.

friday is the opening of my new clubnight, purple sneakers, months of preparation and hopefully going to be massive.
not to mention, heavy innit on saturday, feast at my house sunday for mah birthday, and general partying through next week so I can deal with turning 31, when I'm going so grey I have to dye my hair often and deny my rapid aging with a flippant line about 'live fast, go grey at 25.' :lol: :tard:

currently smashing ease a cold herbal shit, lemons/honey/garlic etc, and willing it to be so I wake up better tommorow sammy, yes!

Hey Liz, there's a really good book called the Secrets to getting a job by Philip Garside.

It goes from application letter, CV to prepping for interviews. It might help you reframe your letter and cv to get the interview. The book is under $20 and well worth it. Good luck!
