The Return Of Rothkoid
04:54 / 16.08.02
Today, I was offered a job working for a weekly magazine that sells an unfeasible amount of copies in moi native land, cobber. And I've taken it. So, for the first time in about three months, something goes my way. I just wanted to share it with y'all, because the people here have been more than good to me over the past times of trouble and woe. Things still aren't perfect for me by a long chalk - I desperately miss someone in particular, as well as a whole stack in general - but this employment is a Good Thing, and I'm hoping that as such, it'll provide means for me to see you all sometime in the near(er) future. As I said before, y'welcome to visit when you hit my neck of the woods. Beer will probably be involved, if not witty banter.

And yes, there was beer involved at lunch.

Please add textual dances of joy, Duncan-stylee to this post. I miss you bastards all.

And no, I can't wait for christmas visitations, either.

(Dear christ. That was my first ever smiley. Cherish it, folks.)

Brilliant! That's great news, well done.

I'm fevery and in bed (well, beside bed as i type) so my celebrations for you will have a slightly manic tone - or I'll fall asleep during them. But cool news.

(In croaky voice) Wow, that's faaantastic! I'm so glad to hear that Roth. Congratulations! Yippee.

I'm also at home with a viral infection from hell and have spent most of the day lying propped up with pillows on the lounge, as the infection has triggered really bad asthma, something I thought I didn't get any more. I've hardly been able to raise a whisker, but this news has made my day.

Well done Rothkoid - what kind of work is it? Are you writing and stuff? And does the mag have a website and shit?

That's cracktastic Roth. As soon as I get my hands on a beer it shall be raised in your honour.

But I won't let you forget about that smiley. That's going in the permanent file, and coming out at your 50th.

That's really, really great news! Well done, mate; hope it's just the start of the good patch.

Hoofucking ray! So which is the "women's" magazine that's going to have you in its centrefold, in a leather thong? Away and have a waltz with Matilda to celebrate this happy news.

That's got my Friday off to a blockrocking start, Rothkolous.

Darlin!

How fantazmagorically brilliant!

I am so pleased and happy and joyous and delighted and spinning-top dizzy with giggle fits for you!

Meaningful activity is a wonderful thing! About bloody time the universe spun your way.

HUGE Hugs coming your way through the ether!

Much love to you always xx oo xx

I'm drinking a beer for you right now, Rothkoid (at the time of my earlier congratulatory post I was unfortunately hindered from such a thing by being at work)- . Arr.

But again we demand to know: which magazine is it? Our minds boggle. Please end our torment! (My moneys on Ralph.)

Good to know all those evenings wanking about... err, for... you paid off, Rothkoid. Yes.
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
13:06 / 16.08.02
Arrr!

Just got back in from the pub. Ah, Toohey's Old, I love ye.

Monsieur fool: it's all part of your Day, if that provides enough hints.

There's no website, but it's subbing a-go-go, usually of a better calibre than my posting here, never fear. Factchecking and writer-busting be my domain, now.

Arrr.

Goddamn, I think some water better be drunk soon - or my head will explode tomorrow.

I'm still serious about xmas...

Should I make puns on subbing, or has it been done umpteen times before?

Nicely done. You r first-ever smiley is almost enough to make me do my first ever Wayne's World-type air guitar solo.

Almost.

Now how much do you want to pay me not to spill the title of the magazine?

congratulations, hon. that's really cool.

and if hanging around here hasn't kept your subbing skills up to scratch, i dunno what will.

(sorry. could. not. resist.)

Rothkoid ...

Oh my god! Not ...

The experience will be good, but boy oh boy! Sheesh!

But that said it's an excellent start to your return career in Oz so just ignore the expression of horror above. It's a good job and will do in the interim before you decide to go all Mean Fiddler on the live music scene!

Big hugs all round!

ROCK, lame-assed one... How does that work, incidentally? Do you limp whilst sitting at your desk?

Wot's subbing, please?

Either subediting (I guess) or a kinkological term indicating submission, that is to say, the opposite of domination. I still don't know which one 'Koid's getting paid to do and haven't liked to ask.
