Had a date, was watching a movie, fell asleep on date
I thought you were a good date, not a shitty one.Had a date, was watching a movie, fell asleep on date

I was really tired! And she was so comfortable! She thought it was cute, but I feel mostly embarrassed.
Well, if she thought it was cute...
I guess the movie wasn't any good, then.

Lion king! So it's pretty good, really.
Company got downsized. Instead of 2 they only need 1 game-designer, and the other one works there 5 years longer than me.
So, that means I'm fired.
Fuck.
Fuck.
I could have had class. I could have been a contender.

Confirmed? Or is this you speculating?
Confirmed.
This is me, sitting at home, pouring whisky.

Jesus. Shit mate that's awful news.
Completely out of the blue or has the downsize been on the horizon?
EDIT: Redundancy package?
Damn, Zigz, sorry.

Damn dude
Allowed to say what company?
Damn Zigs, sorry to hear it.
Oh bugger. The other half just found out there is a strong possibility her brother might have Testicular Cancer. Need to visit the specialist for more tests but the initially outlook isn't looking to good.
Poor bugger is only 24!

Same thing happened to me a year ago. Company didn't have enough money to pay 4 animators. The other 3 had worked there longer than I had. Much sympathy from me.

I'm told everyone gets at least one. I got mine today.
Discovered my first dead patron today. 2nd one for our library in about a year's time.
Eh?
Am I reading this right? A patron is someone who uses your library? So you got a dead person on your hands? You found them? What were they doing? Reading?
Was going to crack a joke and say the book they were reading must have been really boring. But that would be in pretty poor taste.
Wow. Um. How very odd.
And this is expected?
Throughout the county we find dead people on a regular basis. Libraries are a magnet for the homeless, so we are forever finding the random ones that didn't survive the night (for whatever reason). Florida has a prescription drug problem as well, and thats certainly not helping matters. A few suicides too, which are never fun, as the media seems to love those stories.
Found this one in the restroom during one of my walk arounds. No idea how long (still warm at least), or for what reasons, but it was a god damn mess in there, called the sheriff over before I even considered approaching him.
EDIT:
correct, patron is a customer of the library.

That must be really quite horrible. I'd hate to see a dead body.

Didn't survive the night? The library is 24 hour? Manned?
No, which makes it an ideal location to tuck away over night. No one around to report you, especially if you spend most of your day in the library anyway.
They are ingenious when it comes to finding just enough space on the grounds for a night of sleep.
Friends of mine told me today that they saw a clearly anorexic girl at their sports event. Gave her about three months.
Similarly fucked up - you see a person where you know with absolute certainty that she won't live long, the condition is reversible and yet you can't do anything about it.

My phone will lose 3G signal randomly, but still show the icon. The phone thinks it's still connected, so it will endlessly try loading pages. The only way to fix this that I've found is to toggle airplane mode.
Apparently this has been happening to other Palm Pre users recently as well.
Edit: My issue sounds really whiny compared to OG's experience.
Your search had no results.
frozen fucking pipes. Even with heat-tape on exterior pipes(don't ask me why they're above ground, I didn't build it), letting faucets drip, and keeping cabinets under the sinks open, I had no water for my shower this morning. Be very grateful odor does not transmit well.
The worst job in the world is better than being broke and homeless
No more word from Ziggy.
As I walked home today, I noticed a man laying on the ground. People had gathered around, they told that they had called paramedics a while ago (though it looked like it didn't matter already at that point). It took them some 10 or 15 minutes to arrive from the moment I walked by. At that point I was already home (I live 100m from there), but noticed through window that they left after about a minute or two, and a police van arrived a while later.
While finding someone dead isn't a particularly happy thing, what's really messing with my groove is that all this happened no more than 50 metres from the local hospital.

It's official, tomorrow will be day 3 of no school.
They really aren't driving me crazy yet, but it would be nice to be able to leave the house sometime before 2012.

Well, you have to understand, I've been explaining the situation to girlfriend, sister, mates and tomorrow I'm going to visit dad with the news. Not very keen on doing it again over hereNo more word from Ziggy.
Arranging this whole unemployment business is a real bitch.
In short, yeah the company wasn't doing well, but we were over our ears into work, so didn't expect they'd downsize us. Plus I was in the middle of a course. It was awfully quiet though last year from our financial dept, we usually get a presentation every 3 months. Of course, I only realise all this in hindsight. I've been far too busy. I've been assigned to a job-placement bureau, paid for 6 months by the company, which will help me to find new work.

Ok - well 6 months full pay is a chunk of breathing space to find new stuff to do.
Good luck!
No, the agency that helps me find a job is paid for. I get some compensation, but that won't last me 6 months. Not that I'm planning to stay unemployed for that long though
