ignatius Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 found some underwear at the back of the drawer that are basically new. also, had my yearly CT Scan last week and all good news. the 2cm mass in my right kidney has not grown at all. just sitting there like a dumb bastard making me wait. and nothing else new or weird in the scan. so, that's good. not so much an achievement as good luck. i guess i'll have to live a little longer into the coming dystopia. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 been planning a ferry trip to the Isle of Man for some time now and i've managed to dig out my dad's old Panasonic walkman i'm planning to do a bunch of different things when i get there, but for some reason the actual ~4hr ferry trip is what i'm looking forward to the most. i haven't used this thing for years but it works just fine. i have cassette issues of recent WARP/Ninja Tune albums (some of which are still sealed!) and all i can say is, why let them collect dust for years instead of actually using them? might be risky but YOLO. maybe not take SAW2.

Squee Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 On 5/4/2023 at 4:57 PM, zero said: it's all connected man. I too went through a job change last year, and know exactly what you're talking about. I didn't want to accept the fact that I was stuck in a bad job with a bad boss, because the alternative of being unemployed is always far scarier. and I didn't realize at the time just how much of that negativity from the bad job was bleeding into my personal life. we try and tell ourselves we can separate our work selves from our personal life, but we all know that's not how it works. that work bullshit keeps lingering on in our heads after we clock out, and it affects us. yeah after I changed jobs, I noticed other positive life things started to occur... This! I was in the same situation and the amount of shit I brought home was killing my girlfriend. She thought I hated her when in reality I just hated my job.

I threw many away. we all threw them away! why? CD's of course! we all took that glorious leap from analog to digital. then we took the leap from physical to mp3. now we're going back from mp3 to analogue. cycles man...it's all about cycles...

user Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Despite all the moaning and groaning I tend to do around here I had one of those magical bar nights were the conversations flowed without becoming restrictive or weird and topped the night off buying some records that I'll get to play to the same bar people in a couple of weeks (who by then will in no doubt have turned into a bunch of non-appreciating phillistines but it's all good)(for now)). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Jesus Christ Recently I’ve been suspended from work for 5 weeks for suspected gross misconduct. Apart from my father dying from bone cancer it’s been the worst 5 weeks of my life. The prospect of losing your job from a company you’re fairly happy in (it’s definitely got its problems like most jobs nowadays, but funny how you view those stresses as nothing when you could get the boot) and you have been there for 15 years is a horrible experience. I had my meeting this morning and I’m in the clear. By the skin of my teeth. It was only because a very senior manager high up, with many years service and a lot of clout who i’m good friends with and I’ve helped many times over the years, came to my rescue at the 11th hour. I can’t express how lucky I have been. Like they say. And is so true. It’s not what you know it’s who you know. Been in tears of emotion most of the morning. Fucking beer time tonight and this weekend Edited June 22, 2023 by beerwolf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Finland, if you get sick during vacation, you just go to a doctor and get a sick leave certificate for the days you're sick, and you get to use the vacation days later. This is very nice.
