Just in case.....

Postby libby » Wed Nov 15, 2006 12:49 pm

Life wasnt crap/busy enough i had to go and get a job :cry:

Was in a greasy spoon with my mum and they walked up to me and asked me if i wanted a job. Obviously in front of my mum (who had just had to lend me 50 quid) I couldnt say no.

So I have lectures, my dissertation (aaaaagh), the whole 'break up' shite to deal with and now a horrible job too.

*seriously unimpressed with life at the moment*

Awww hun :( That sucks when you're so busy already.

At least you'll earn a few pennies :) How often are you working?

I do 20 hours/week at one of those cafes in a supermarket...its a pretty good laugh, and weirdly it can feel like a relief going to work sometimes - I have to (at least pretend to) be happy and smiley, washing-up is quite stress-relieving, and I know I can't do any uni work so I don't worry about it.

Good luck xxx

It'll be great, it'll be just like at the beginning of Terminator!

You can be doing a crummy job in a greasy caff, but then some hero takes you away from all that! :D

Okay, there's the small issue of a homicidal robot bla bla bla, oh and the end of humanity in a techno-nuclear conflagration, oh yeah, and the hero dies and leaves you with a bun in the oven, but apart from THAT, it'll be great! :wink:

I have gloves for work - yellow hands, and bright blue wrists.

But I think there's a rubber-glove fiend around...I can only ever find left-hands....freaky...
