Thanks Paying for petrol will be more expensive, but I can get tax deduction because of the distance and that money will be worth it, since I will cut my travel time down to 90 minutes a day. And no 5 mile hike The work hours are variable, because of said overtime. But it's a minimum of 5 hours a day, up to 8 hours iirc. The pay is ~2200€ a month, if I work 40h/week. At my previous employer I earned roughly 200 euros a month working 2.6h/week, but the hours are limited between 0200am and 0600am, wich usually means that you work 2-4 hours a night. Ends up at about 1300€, but alot of free time. Now I'm going to be working on the afternoon until night time - so bye, bye social life.

Going to start my new job tomorrow, really looking forward to three to four hours of bus and trainrides that I'm going to have to take to get to and from work. On days when there's forced overtime (Wich is 99% guaranteed around christmas) I'm also going to have to walk from the train station home. A five mile hike at night in winter is going to wear at me pretty badly after hauling boxes for five hours. I hope I can manage to get a drivers licence during these coming months, or I'm going to have to quit. When the travel time is as bad as it is, I'm not going to be able to accept more working hours either. I was hoping on getting a full job at my former employer, but there was risk that there would'nt be one available, though I have a feeling I'm going to regret this choice more.

I sence a disturbance in the force... as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror...

On foot, there are too many frequent stops for a bike and too many narrow gates and such. I'm glad I did'nt have a bike when they stole my cart. Having to run down a cart is bad enough, a bike would just be gone =) Hehe, it's good, I have'nt had to deal with any harsh winter conditions yet, but rain ain't too bad. The plastic cover on the cart that squeaks against the weels, but that's the biggest annoyance I have to deal with. I'd rather read physical papers myself, no screen glare for one, and I don't have to worry about dropping it or breaking it. Sales are going down though, wich is why they are going to reorganize the districts to be bigger. Edit; I really have no idea why it's attributing Bartimaeus to Gfted1's quote. -.- Yay, it fixed itself

I deliver newspapers and such It's decent enough, you don't get alot of hours in, but you get paid to exercise and I generally don't have to deal with people since it's nights. There's always a risk of drunken idiots though, but this is the first time in 6 months anything has happened.

My shins are absolutely killing me. Decided to see how high an tempo I could keep while working yesterday, wich meant that I ran the vast majority of the time. Did'nt beat my speed record though since some asshat and his walking fleshlight decided to steal my cart and use it as an impromptu wagon. After thrashing him I had to get a new stack of papers from the loading bay since they were unfit to deliver - wich cost me alot of time. Anyway, did'nt know I could feel pain in this way. Walking is a awful.

Sorry to disappoint you, but CDPR has said straight up that we won't be seeing Cyberpunk 2077 before 2017. Goddammit Keyrock, you just made me cry!

Thank you, I respect that you consider the vets health before - I know of people who would'nt. I would've liked to give my last goodbyes, but noone in my family saw it fit to inform me how bad her condition actually were (It was her sixth or so hospital visit this year, and noone told me she was in intensive care) Hope it works out for your grandpa. =)

Thank you. She showed her sisu 'til the end, she went for 4 days without food, water or medicine before passing on. Wish the law would allow one to help people in a more humane way than that. Good track that, much appreciated - I'm going to remember it!

Just came back from my grandmothers funeral, on the way home Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell began to play on the radio, so now I've decided to spend a few hours looking for the best "funerally" metal song I can find. Any tips? Starting with Hallowed be thy name.

Yes, please do, my lower left ribs are poking out quite a bit aswell, need to know if I have to give up the job on monday if it turns out it is terminal! Was'nt Aluminiumtrioxid supposed to be studying medicine? Wonder what his thoughts are.

You have my sympathies, I have had the same problem with dogsitting. Did your plate/microwave survive that ordeal? I know my friends microwave went bust after nuking a CD.

Dudes who go around abusing the law and fishing for settlement money is a strike against feminazis? Really? This is some blackbelt level retard-fu. -

I heard about this from the Skeptics Guide to the Universe and also about a peer review scandal a while back where alot of articles were retracted, so there are good proper journals out there aswell. That peer review sting was focused on journals that get paid to publish from the authors. I'm not terribly surprised about the findings really. -
Just got a letter from the workplace (Delivering newspapers and some mail/packages) where I work sundays to cover for my friend (So that he can get pissed on saturdays) about the restructuring of the districts they are going to do, and it's about as bad as the rumors said. The districts are going to be nearly 50% bigger, wich is'nt so bad for me on sundays, but everyone that works the weekdays when there is a full compliment of papers and mail, and that are already done late with their deliveries are'nt going to be done until 10am (supposed to be done at 6am)... Fortunately I got a call today from another company I've contacted and was called for an interview one wednesday, woohoo! I was hoping to get a district on my own at the other place, but with this new restructuring I'm not interested anymore. I love the free time you get from working there, the new place is utter ****e when it comes to that though since you work during the afternoon and more hours per day. You do get weekends off though. And slightly more money, wich I don't give a **** about overall - I'd rather have the free time.

You have my deepest condoleances Raithe.

Did you get out last night to grab any pic's of the Perseids? I got a couple of good looks, some whose debris hung in the air for several seconds afterwards, aweomse stuff! But I could only watch for an hour and a half before some really thick fog invaded. Wich was awesome in another kind of way, but not what I wanted just that night. :/

But.. there's no windshield! I know how much a fly in ones eye hurts at 50km/h, but a femur at 90km/h?!

From what people in the comments said, it was streamed online. Some people also say that the same account/phone is still filming, but I find that unlikely. -

Trawled through the comments; https://www.reddit.com/r/China/comments/3gqksa/huge_gas_explosion_near_the_docks_in_tianjin/ There's one video that looks like someone is filming just a couple of hundred metres away from the fire, then the explosion comes... http://sendvid.com/i7pcfexm -
Anyone have a mirror of this? It seems the FSB struck or something.

Pfft, I'd get spoiled. Would'nt be able to sleep in my own home anymore due to claustrophobia. :< Past few days, I've had a really, really sore throat, and today it is becoming a full cold. One of the worst ones I've had so far, I cought it from a friend that had been to Turkey so possibly it's because I've never encountered this virus before. I hate it, and I want to exterminate it. Mostly by gurgling whiskey and drinking tea. Or was that gurgling tea and drinking whiskey? o.o ... Bah, bit disappointed in my father. Tried to get him to lend his camera and stand to me for the night, since I'm going to watch the perseids. But no luck. :/ I've been trying for a week to get him to do so, but he just plain refuses. Anyone else going to watch them?

I've grown up in a house where the door frames are at mouth height, I've lost count of how many times I've smashed my head into them. Not to mention that the kitchen bench is knee high.
