I take it the girl considers you just friends?

Why does one event make everything feel like with ever step I take forewards, people I care for pay for it?

[An4ximandros]

I take it she got laid off while you got a permasition?

[Lorric]

I take it she got laid off while you got a permasition?

I'd be surprised. Would someone you've known for a few days qualify as someone you care for? Would the process be decided in a matter of a few days?

I hope I'm wrong, but his post gives me the impression something really bad happened.

Life is ****
Drink booze
Die in wonderful euphoric drunkenness

[Nakura]

I finally get a job.
A job that pays better than anything I was expecting to get, and with a very real possibility of progression to a more than comfortable wage after my apprenticeship ends.
I finally meet a girl that doesnt have habits or a mindset that causes my stomach to churn or lose hope for humanity.
I got a new puppy.

Things are looking UP for me the first significant and meaningful time in my life....

And then reality drops a large steaming, carrot and sweetcorn loaded turd all over my good fortune sundae.

Seriously, what's the point in trying to better my quality of life when it seems that the universe is trying it's hardest to keep it at a steady level of "Mediocre bordering with occasional ****-storms? Why should I even keep on trying? Why do I keep on trying to care for a world filled with deviants and murderers?

Congratulations on everything! You said it yourself, things are looking up. Things aren't always so cruel in this world, sometimes there is beauty. Maybe it's your chance to experience this? Maybe things will be better from here on? Give your life a chance and if you're unhappy with how things are, then change things, only you can.

Because you can.

There is also no apostrophe in "its".

Because balance.

It is going well with me and the girl, and I wouldn't let myself get this worked up over a girl I've only known for less than a month.
I both want to talk about it, but don't at the same time.

Suffice to say, don't worry too much about me. I'm just tired. And let's face it, hard knocks after good times always seem to hurt more.

No one is dead or dying or ill, but **** is going to get ****ed up.



Also Andro, you are a grammar Nazi. Keep up the good work.

[Nuke]

murderers and deviants make life interesting. otherwise its just work, stuff, and boring sex. last time my life appeared to be viable, my hawt girlfriend got raped and my new job just kinda degraded into a ****storm. ive been in a rather self destructive constant rage ever since. deathfun has the right idea. booze. booze and illegal drugs. if that fails, suicide, and if you cant do that, consider becoming a serial killer.

I know what you mean. You can pm me if you want to get it off your chest without telling the whole forum. You can trust me.

No one is dead or dying or ill

These are what I was worried about the most, so I'm glad it's not one of them.

Actually, she's goint for a life with the catholic church.

[Nakura]

Oh dear, not good. This is my first real time getting in trouble at work. Well, I don't know if I'm actually in trouble yet, but this could be bad...

I spent all last week looking for someone to switch shifts with me at work (I wanted this Saturday off). Well, I found someone to work for me on Tuesday, which was my last day working before my big three day break. I talked to the person and told them that we both needed to call our manager to confirm this (she also had the next three days off).

Well I called my manager the next day and spoke with her and unfortunately, she turned down my request. Oh well, no biggie, I was just hoping to see a friend who I don't get to hang out with too often, but we can (hopefully) do that a different time. Well, I didn't have the phone number to the girl who I was supposed to work for me, so I couldn't tell her that it was canceled. I figured that since she said that she was going to call our manager, our manager would simply decline the request.

Well, I just received a phone call this morning from my manager, saying that the girl who said she was going to work for me never called her and thinks that she is still working for me (I work this evening, she worked in the morning, so if she did work for me, it would have been a double). Apparently everything is my fault, because I didn't contact the girl and tell her that our boss said "no." But the only reason I didn't, is because she said that she was going to call her a few hours after I did, a promise that she broke. I was under the impression that she called our boss (like she said she would) and asked her for permission (the permission of both people is needed before switching shifts).

Now I'm probably going to be the one to take the heat for this. I admit, I probably should have made more of an effort to get in touch with the girl, even if she did forget to hold up her end of the bargain. I'm a pretty good worker and this is my first time ever really getting in trouble, so I don't think I'll be written up or fired or anything. I am worried that she might cut my hours though, that does seem to be her preferred method of punishment.

I really don't think I've done anything wrong though. I mean, I could have called work and tried to find out the girl's number to call her, but if she held up her end of the deal, there would have been no need. I think that the girl dropped the ball on this one by forgetting...

If we colonized Mars, would that make it a fourth world "country"?

[Dark Hunter]

Not unless Mars became a sovereign state, rather than a colony under the jurisdiction of whatever nation funded the billions upon billions of dollars it would take to set up a colony.

EDIT: And only now do I see the joke. Sometimes I can be dense...

[FireSpawn]

[Nakura]

Well, that was a non-issue. Absolutely nothing happened. Just a "you probably should have called her, but no big deal" kind of thing. My manager is awesome like that.

Anyway, I just found out that my bank sells Six Flags tickets at half price (they're only $35), so I will be going to Six Flags with a very special young woman in the near future. We're shooting for this Friday, but if I can't get off Friday, we'll do it whenever I'm off next.

Also, the meteor shower is tonight (Sunday and Monday), if anyone was interested in seeing that.

[deathfun]

Kickass
Space things are generally that
Hopefully it'll be visible where I'm at


As a sidenote: I dislike my cell phone because it's useless. Someone calls me, then it hangs up and says "You have 0$ of airtime". Bull****, I filled that **** up a couple days ago and haven't used any of it

So I called that person back and we talk for an hour. Accurately, the last fifteen or so was me watching a movie with the thing against my ear waiting for the person to fall asleep (to which she kept saying "Don't hang up" until sleep engulfed her)

Also, the drunken person said "I love you" in aforementioned conversation to which I did my best to waltz around as best as possible (three times)



Another thing, trying to make an existing account on Xbox Live being able to connect back to live after a hiatus is ****ing annoying as all ****ing ****. I try to connect, but then it wants a security code to confirm. Three options, email, text, phone. So I use the text option, and type in the code. Fine and dandy? **** no. I have to log into the email account to CONFIRM THAT THE PHONE I TYPED IN IS ME. So why is text even an option? I should just email the damned thing

So I log into the account, which asks me FOR MORE ****ING SECURITY CODES TO CONFIRM THAT I AM WHO I AM LOGGING INTO THE ACCOUNT

And how do they send the security code to log into the account which I need to log into? The email of which I'm trying to ****ING LOG INTO TO GET THE CODE

Seriously, who comes up with this process? Luckily, Microsoft Outlook exists and I use that. I get the code for the email, so I can confirm the code from the phone, and make it say "yes this is the phone etc of which is me"

All of this effort to obtain Banjo Kazooie for my mother who adores the game.

Don't get me started on the points system MS has on Xbox BECAUSE I WILL ****ING STAB THEM AND HARVEST THEIR ORGANS FOR THE BLACK MARKET TO PAY FOR THE EXTRA MONEY I AM FORCED TO PUT INTO BECAUSE OF THE FACT THE GAME IS 200 POINTS MORE THAN 1000 WHICH IS THE CLOSEST OPTION

How did Xbox get such a large bloody following? HOW!?

[Nuke]

dont use technology that sucks.

Dude.

Used N64, used game cartridge. Not that expensive, and avoids all the MS online bull****.

I already have both just fyi
Well, sorta. Sister is holding onto both console and cartridge for the past eight years.

The version and controller are better on the Xbox and this entire thing would otherwise have been a non-issue if I did this half a year ago
As a sidenote anyhow, getting used still involves more money and effort than just going through the hoops MS has put up

I bought a new pair of shoes. I'll be needing them whenever I go out for job interviews.
