Nepenthe Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Nothing really opens your eyes into how you are viewed in an organisation when everybody else's undone crap gets shifted to you so that they can go on their holidays and you have to cancel yours. I thought I'd outgrown this part. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Well after a really nice chilled out two days where I got to relax because relatives and family went off to visit other family together that they hadn't seen for a few decades.. They arrive back and hand me a "family project" to look into. In that "oh, you're good at research and knowing how to use the internet.." - apparently a certain black sheep relation who we all thought was dead.. is actually serving life in jail for rape and murder. So they want me to find all the details. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Oh you can get "life sentences", it's just that it's quite often x decades rather then actual "life". "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Oh you can get "life sentences", it's just that it's quite often x decades rather then actual "life". Still more "life" than ~12 years...

I thought I'd outgrown this part. It's amazing how bad you will be treated when everyone knows you can't complain. Contract work stinks. The money can be pretty good though. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those places where just having it on my CV is going to help tons later on. Spent two days feeling sorry for myself, have to get my ass into gear tomorrow and shift as much crap as I can. Oh, and my tv is behaving oddly, it's only decoding one channel properly. If I have to buy a new one, not taking a holiday might seem like a good idea. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Raithe Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Having a rather odd day. I don't know why just have that odd lost/adrift sensation as if I'm not actually tethered to anything in my life. Trying not to get overly involved in things with the relatives over at the moment, and almost randomly poking at some work related things to see if my mental processes kick in any forms of genius.

Malcador Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Just keep moving from wall to wall at work. Not sure if the issues are actually tricky or if I'm just too daft to fix it Does make me feel rather unproductive at the end of the day. Why has elegance found so little following?

entrerix Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 i wrote for 5 hours yesterday after i got home from work. i'm at a grand total of 48,467 words, making it my longest piece of fiction writing thus far, by about 200 words. I still have, what I'm guessing from my rought plot outline, about 10-12 more chapters to write. chapters are short though, about 1500-3500 words, so im figuring the book will end up between 70k-80k words when im finished with the first draft. the second draft will probably add to the length a little as I fill in some areas with a bit more detail Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Labadal Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Started following a bunch of people and studios on Twitter when I saw the Pandemic twitter account. Saw that the last tweet was made ~750 days ago. Then I remember Pandemic are no more, made me a bit sad. Edited June 27, 2012 by Labadal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
