I could manage that, but it'd leave me feeling tired as anything at the end of the day. :(
I cant leave my damn room because my brothers girlfriend is here. I cant put clothes on either because i have OCD about getting a shower before i put anything i didnt wear to bed on. Ive been here for 5 hours. Im starting to get hungry.
Also I was supposed to fill 5 a1 pages of art for tomorrow. Its all in the kitchen. How do i explain not having it done? My brothers girlfriend was here and i was afraid to get out of bed?

Argh, I'm going to university in nine days now, and the thing I'm most worried about is making friends. I don't drink, I'll be commuting from home and I'm not experienced in clubbing at all. :/ Advice?Possibility: Check out the campus library, different hours, different areas. Sometimes some of the floors/wings can be far more social than studious.
Friday morning (well, it's not even 4am so you could say it's still night)… I'm going to work in a bit over an hour and this might be my last day (again). Or tomorrow might be it, assuming they don't extend our contracts. There is a chance they will though and they might though cause right now there are orders and tons of reworks to do.
Hell, they might even give us a week of 12 hour shifts… which if it happens I hope it's the night shift, cause that one pays a lot more. Two lines are already doing these, so ours might be doing it too (especially since we were having tons of problems so our production has been lagging and we might have to catch up).
Or we'll get fired, heh.
At work afterall. Trains are running every half hour. That's a longer wait, sure, but ok enough to get to and from work.
That's true. But his predicament is quite funny ^_^I cant leave my damn room because my brothers girlfriend is here.

Im starting to get hungry.You want to be successful at anything? Get out of your own way and go for it. You're usually the biggest obstacle in anything you want to achieve.

I don't drink, I'll be commuting from home and I'm not experienced in clubbing at all. :/ Advice?Uni is just like highschool in terms of getting work done and being responsible and all that. They just treat you like more of an adult and people tend not to act like such babies like they do in highschool (ie pretending to be adults and worldly etc.). You have more freedom because you're seen as being more adult, unfortunately a lot of kids abuse that freedom by being more childish -not doing work, skipping classes, getting drunk, whatever…
I'm going to pretend I didn't read the last part of Oz's post.
I've just realized that the work days I get headaches (like today) are the days where I have some annoying/undesirable thing I need to get finished, or are going to be difficult for some reason. I am hoping that awareness of a psychologically-induced headache will make it go away. Does it work like that?
The stupid thing is that whenever I get started on whatever it is, I don't care, it's no problem to get done. I just develop a big mental block about some things and it's the starting that is hard.
The good news is that I have been drawing more. Only bits and pieces mostly, but I do have two bigger things I'm working on. :] It's slow but I'm chipping away at it! Eventually I hope to get back into the habit/schedule to make more comics.
Lastly, ARRRGH UK settlement stuff. So much to do. Stupid forms, letters on official stationery, and a test with lots of numbers and dates. Why does anyone think those kinds of tests are still important.

Finally bought my xbox, but what pisses me off is i found one from dell for 270$+free shipping and the damn thing got a 'page temp unavailable' right before the confirmation. So i bought the expensive one from amazon. better to pay 37$ extra from a site that doesn't fuck up orders. =_=
Arrrrgg i'm typing on this retarded keyboard for people with carpel tunnel at school. it's so clunky and types so noisy and why is 'n' larger than the enter key???
So, Saturday work is over, did not get a message about being fired nor did we get 12 hour shifts… not yet anyway. Supposedly we got so many orders that we have work scheduled until at least the end of October and possibly all the way up to December. Might be nice, being able to buy some special food on christmas for once, haha.
Plans for the weekend: finally send off my files to Ka-Blam, sketch some stuff, read some comics…
Speaking of pushups… I can't do any, but on Friday for the first four hours I've been tossing the tv sets onto the pallettes. That's roughly 15-20kg at this size (32inch) per box, depending on the brand. I think that counts as exercise in a way too, heh.
Buuuut after those four hours it came out that they have a really slow woman in the Testing area, so since I worked there (and was remembered by the Testing Leader cause she was leading the shift that came after mine on the line I worked on before) we got switched. Not sure what she's doing in the Packing area now, but certainly not putting the sets up (there are regulations about weight limits so women aren't allowed to do that job).
Anyway, the job she was meant to do was this… wait for the tv to arrive and stop in front of her. Plug in the RF cable. See if it's turned on (green light) or off (red light)… if it's off, turn it on, if on, press ONE button to switch from analog to digital tv. Then choose channel 13, wait for it to appear and see if there's sound and picture. If it's fine, that's all, just send the tv on its way!
It's one of the easiest fucking things in the whole goddamn world, how can you fuck that up?
CABLE + ONE BUTTON + SELECT CHANNEL + LOOK/LISTEN
I can't imagine how confusing would be the thing I did on that other model today (after that one ended). plug in two wires (one being the RF one, the other one just audio jack for the next test) choose channel 800, hit OK, check image and sound, switch to RGB mode (for the next test) and unplug the RF cable. If it fails to show, switch to Power Only mode, repeat the steps.
ok, end of the work rant :D
I did the math and realized that I slept over 17 hours yesterday/last night. That's apparently what getting two hours of sleep a night for a week will do to you. I'm rather disappointed too as I believe I missed a birthday party for an illustrator I know and she's quite the attractive thing.
xbawks rules, i hope you got one of the new versions.Ya i got the new slim, which is sad because i bet i wont even use 10% of that hardrive space. I pretty much picked it because it's better looking. Score for microsoft.
Ya i got the new slim, which is sad because i bet i wont even use 10% of that hardrive space. I pretty much picked it because it's better looking. Score for microsoft.You might be surprised, I got the black one with the big hard drive because that's what Costco had, and never thought I'd use the space. But savegames, demos I never get round to deleting, downloaded classic games, etc all take away space, and there's a couple games I've installed to the HD to reduce loading times. Better to have too much than not enough anyway.
Lastly, I wasted today because I took a mostly accidental nap. :[

Look at those three dashes. Everybody puts three dashes but I have no idea what that means. I'm assuming it's a kind of page break, "here's a new thought" type of thing but how am I supposed to know? Is it written down anywhere? For all I know it means "look at me, I'm a gay wildebeast" yet here I am, happily typing it out.

So the two don't get confused in the minds of the reader.
