gah
i'm just about to go to a 9.30 lecture
who says students have it easy?
(that said my day is finished at 10.30)
Me !
Students DO have it easy !
i'm at work too
But not yet working !
i've been at work since 7
although i'm pretty sure i've been sleeping with my eyes opening, i haven't exactly been too productive...
I've been here 12 minutes.
So far have checked mail, sent my Christmas list to my Mum, had some water and now posting on here. Life is tough indeed.
christmas list ?
in november ?
I get in to work between 7.30 and 7.45 every day
so SUCK THAT! :-D
If I work from home I work harder so screw them.
Oh and the technical term, prole, is "Working" from Home.
Jeez
Christmas must be ending soon, right?
hahaha
i am not at work... cause i dont work.
and im not at school, cause i dont write exams. and we break up for a roughly 2 month holiday on friday!! happy days.
work doesnt sound so bad, if you dont actually work.
well
said !
Don't know how I did it but I managed to convince my place of work to let me come in at 9.30 even though no one else is allowed to and it's in Camden, which is literally a stone's throw from where I live.
Actually I do know how I did it, I said I get dangerously stressed when I commute during rush hour. They fear my wrath evidently.
I've been at work since 9am
and i ain't done a bit of work. I've spent the last hour trying to find that Timid Tiger album on the web for download!
No luck though :-(
I had
to get get up at 5am this morning for work. :(
Beat that!
That's the price you pay
for being a milkman.
Hey
people gotta drink their milk, you know.
I hate you Prole
I had to get in the car at 9:30 this morning and drive 2 stinkin' hours to work.
But then I do have Tuesdays and Fridays off....huzzah!
And
you start at half 11, which makes you even more a part-timer. You poncey media bastard.
Half 9 Bamos, half 9.
The media poncey bit is correct though.
But if
you got in the car at half 9 and drove for two hours, surely that means it's 11.30 when you start?
Unless
he's a media taxi driver.
No,
'stinkin hours' is media slang for 'kilograms of coke'.
THE WARN!!!
hi dude.
Um, Bamos my priginal post is meant to say 7:30. I got in the car at 7:30.
Priginal?
Mmmm, priginals. Once you pop, you can't stop.
Now get back out on that road, you poncey media cabbie you.
Hi dude!
It's like I never left, innit!
(I didn't)
You didn't?
what have you been doing?
I had that Bamos in the back of my cab the other week....he had a massive erection and he was trying to cover it with a newspaper.
Well
it's not my fault the Guardian isn't a proper broadsheet anymore. I was doing the best I could to conceal it.
And it'd have gone straight away if you'd stopped playing with my nips like you were trying to find Radio 4.
Just to cheer you
all up I had to come into work as someone had messed something up so Im back in stinking Brixton - unshaven and in jeans jsut to piss them off
Unshaven and in jeans?
Do you do that just to piss me off too?
7s and 9s
So easily mixed up...NOT! :-/
I'm with bamos: You're a big media whore slacker type.
it's
2 pm.
and I just got dressed.
Rage
to Andreas. In the nicest possible way.
I'm tired
Is it time to go home yet?
BACK TO WORK YOU!
: * (
But I've been up since 5am. 5AM!
I need a nap.
I haven't
Bothered to get dressed yet. Because I still don't have a job.
What does it take to get a job around here. Anyone have any jobs? Please? I have degrees and shit.
no job
enjoy it while it lasts fucko.
jobs are shit.
hah
Cheers. They are no doubt not as shit as being so broke you can't pay the rent, and spending all your waking hours looking for jobs.
I've just...
got a job after 2 months off......
and it's close I tell you, very fucking close.....
You've got
degrees AND shit? Hold on, I'll get my personnel department on the phone...
