Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:03 / 09.07.07
Why only so-so, kiddo?

Well I had a photoshoot to do this weekend and I botched it due to a lovely bout of depression. Thankfully it wasnt a paid shoot and will be reschedualed. Unthankfully it was for a friend.

Oh well, c'est la vie.

Well you have to look at the positives. At least it wasn't for a paid shoot. I had my computer's hard drive completely die and I lost all the information on my computer but at least it did not happen while I was in school. You have to look at the positives in life
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:20 / 09.07.07
But ofcourse. Life is too short to not enjoying while you can.

Very true. I am starting to learn that after being a pessimist and a cynic for many many years. I am finally trying to change my attitude during life. I guess the turning point was when my friend, who I had known since I was three years old, died after being run over by a car. I realized just how suddenly your life could be taken away and how you have to enjoy every moment you've got.
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:41 / 09.07.07
yes indeed.

Well I know its early, but ithinkim goingtogo to bed now. g'night fellow shifters, wherever you are.

Have a good night and I wish you goodnight for the next 6 weeks as well.

I am going to go to bed very soon too, although I know I am going to be jet lagged for the next 3 days no matter what I do
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:51 / 09.07.07
Sorry to hear about the scrubbed weekend, Hat. Have a good night's sleep and hopefully tomorrow will be shinier.

I'm gonna do a bit of writing now and then hope off to bed too. Nighto.
 
 
This Sunday
04:54 / 09.07.07
Well, hopefully you've both got some good times ahead of you.

I've managed to more or less settle the utterly weird situation of having three people propose that I drop my life (and possibly my identity) and move great distances to live with them in some sick parody of domestic bliss. Both women were feeling a little old (floating around thirty - so they're not), and wanting someone to just be around to make tea for them and sit in bed and watch sappy movies with, and the guy had no idea what he was looking for, but it wasn't me. He alluded to, as we discussed a hypothetical future together, the likelihood he'd have to start stepping out on me, and I failed the test by not getting all wound up over the idea. So things closed off amicably tonight for two out of three, excusing a bit about accusing me of 'forcing' someone to question their sexuality, which I don't believe I've done, and the guy who's frustrated... well, it's the sort of frustration that I can't see reflecting badly on me, as it's just him wanting to be suddenly in a serious relationship with all manner of clauses and plans, but no foundation or actual thought put into it.

Big silly sigh of relief up until the point I realized worrying over all that has kept me from getting real work done for a few days now. So mad through the e-mail to confirm there aren't any immediate deadlines.
 
 
This Sunday
04:55 / 09.07.07
Ah, I get on and post and everybody goes to bed while I'm typing, eh? Well, g'night all.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:13 / 10.07.07
Hello, anyone here?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
02:15 / 10.07.07
Yeah, me!
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:26 / 10.07.07
Stoatie! How the heck are you?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
02:34 / 10.07.07
Yeah, not bad... things are going pretty well for me at the moment, other than being at work. How's yourself?
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:43 / 10.07.07
No complaints at the moment. But I blame that on the wine.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
02:50 / 10.07.07
Yeah, it'll do that.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:55 / 10.07.07
When it comes to wine levels it's a fine line betweem "everything is awesome" and "The world should all die"
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
03:00 / 10.07.07
Yeah, you're not wrong there. Mind you, I'd far prefer to be drinking wine than sitting at work.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:08 / 10.07.07
If only there was a way we could combine them both... hmmm.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
03:32 / 10.07.07
Hmm, yeah, the office could be much more fun WITH BOOZE.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:39 / 10.07.07
Put that in the company memo. Anonymously ofcourse.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
03:57 / 10.07.07
I reckon they might guess...
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
04:15 / 10.07.07
Oh well, off home now. Seeya later.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:42 / 10.07.07
Home! Drunk! Gin! Woooooo!
 
 
This Sunday
05:35 / 10.07.07
Wow. I missed the entire evening. Clearly the sleep that I needed.

I always wonder who actually works a proper nightshift, of the 'lithers. I technically have an excuse to work in the day, because it's mostly not-clocked work, but truth be told, I'm more likely to get a business call right now, than I would be in twelve hours.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
05:46 / 10.07.07
The latest I generally work is nine o'clock my time.
 
 
This Sunday
05:53 / 10.07.07
I filled out a job app once that actually asked something like:

Would you rather...
(a) Go out at night?
(b) See the sun?

Didn't get the hire, but the fact they posed it as they did, well, I missed the money but not the job.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
12:42 / 10.07.07
Strangely, working at night means I probably get to see the sun more than most people who work indoors in the day. I sleep when I get in in the morning, then get up around midday to walk the dogs, and don't go back to bed until about seven. So probably more sun than if I was stuck in an office for all the hours of daylight.

On the bright side you probably escaped working for vampires. Thralls have a terrible union.

Anyone out there this evening?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
02:19 / 11.07.07
Me, as per fucking usual!

Bloody sitting in the office instead of sleeping stuff.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:23 / 11.07.07
Im here. Im very much here.
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh
02:41 / 11.07.07
Yay! I am a bit drunk and coasting on WIN.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:48 / 11.07.07
Ya for you and your WIN. Im not drunk, I've had only one beer. And it was a crappy light beer at that. I really must be more vigilant about what I let people leave in the fridge.
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh
02:52 / 11.07.07
This is why I WIN, VENGER, my pet.

Giddy on slight victory and booooooze!
